WESTERN RIVERS. The important subject of
the Improvement Of the navigation OF the western
rivers Is again occupying the attention Of the peo
pie of that quarter Of the Union. One of the
memorials referred to thus sets FORTH in brief terms
but in the most conclusive manner. the vast i'm
portance OF the interests directly concerned In the
measure:t
"The commerce of these rivers is now ascer-
tanned to be as great that which floats upon the
ocean, between our seaports and those of foreign
countries-and is made up of the produce, manu-
factures, trade, and imports of one half of the
States Of the Union, which are directly interested,
while nearly all the remainder of the States have
great, indirect, and collateral concern in the
same intercourse.
at employs six hundred steamboats,, having an
aggregate tonnage of 10000 tons, and navigated
by twenty one thousand men. These boats are
not worth less than $40 900 900, and are naviga-
ted at annual expense of $4,000, 900, while the
value of merchandise embarked in them is not less

WHO IS OUR SENATOR?

This, to some Of our readers, may appear an
unnecessary question; but we understand that
! many of the citizens OF our county are not aware
that Mr.. Armstrong ceased to be the senator for
Monroe county, on the passage Of the law to fix
and apporton the representation Of the General
) Assembly Of the State Of Ohio, passed March H.,
1874 BY that law the countles Of Guernsey and
Coshocton were constituted senatorial district
Mr.. Armstrong, residing in Guernsey county,
became Of course, the Senator Of these two coun-
ties. The counties Of Monroe and Belmont were
constituted . senatorial district, in consequence
s whereof, Mr.. Miller, of Belmont, elected by the
counties OF Belmont and Harrison in 1913, became
the senatorial representative Of Monroe and Bel
mont. g4sE sBi.st rfls s8 r.. 30 -,l
Harrison and jefferson were constituted SEN
9 atoral district In this district, senator was
elected last October, who resides in Harrison coun-
ty; Mr. Miller, therefore, does not represent
Harrison. If he did, that county would be rep
resented by two senator's at the same time. 1t
follows, then, that the senators who held over do
d not represent the districts in which they were
elected in October, 1913, but represent the district
in which they reside, as constituted by the appor-
tionment law of 1874. tl lI1.l .laa.4
Col. r. H. MILLER is, therefore, the proper
senatorial representative Of Monroe county, during
the present session; and he is, we understand,
fully aware of this, and has governed himself
accordingly. 'h' "'

killed at the establishment this winter, and about
5000 more are to be slaughtered. So convenient
and well arranged are the works, that 400 sheep
are killed per day. every part Of the animal heing

dered from them by steam, and the process is so
complete that after steaming about 40 hours the
pure lallow is drawn off into vats or coolers, the
bones, flesh, &C. into large vats for hog feed-the
hams are nicely cut up and saved and pay the
expenses OF slaughterlng-the pelts are dried for
market-and the heads thrown into pile aud the
wool picked from them, when they are carted to
