Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great West, a Vast Empire: Comprehensive History of the Trans-Mississippi States and Territories The basis of representation is such as to ensure an extraordinary convention, composed of the most representative politicians and business men west of the Mississippi River, and is as follows: Apportionment. The following are hereby designated as delegates to the Inter-State Deep Harbor Convention, to be held at Topeka, Kansas, October 1, 1889, and are all earnestly requested to attend: The Governor of each State and Territory west of the Mississippi River, who shall be authorized to make all appointments from his State or Territory hereby designated not otherwise selected. Four delegates at large from each State, two of whom shall be its United States Senators. Pour delegates from each Congressional district, one of whom shall be the member of Congress or Territorial Delegate-elect. The Republic of Mexico shall be entitled to five delegates, to be appointed by the President thereof, who is also earnestly invited to head the delegation. The president of each Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade west of the Mississippi River, who is authorized to appoint an alternate if he is unable to attend. It is earnestly requested that all members of the Permanent Inter-State Deep Harbor Committee, and including the secretary, will attend the convention and participate in its deliberations. All correspondence in relation to the convention should be addressed to F. L. Dana, secretary, Topeka, Kansas. In behalf of the Permanent Inter-State Deep Harbor Committee. The Governor of Kansas, Lyman M. Humphrey, issued his proclamation, upon the invitation of the Permanent Inter-State Deep Harbor Convention, calling the convention together, and has written each of the several governors west of the Mississippi to be present at the convention. Topeka is making elaborate preparations to entertain the delegates, and will not leave one stone unturned to make of this the second Inter-State Deep Harbor Convention one of the greatest that ever assembled in the West. The Kansas corn and wheap crop this year is "simply immense." Of corn, 250,000,000 bushels; of wheat, 32,000,000 bushels: surplus corn, 150,000,000 bushels: surplus wheat, 25,000,000 bushels; surplus cattle, 300,000 head, or 1,500,000 tons; surplus pork, 1,000,000 head, or 100,000 tons; surplus of corn, wheat, cattle and pork, 5,200,000 tons. With a Gulf port as is proposed, Kansas would save $4.88 per ton of surplus, which amounts to $25,376,000 per annum. That accounts for the extraordinary interest displayed in that state toward the movement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
