Chamber of Commerce

The only business of importance yesterday
was the submission of the following report
by Mr.. MeClung, which was adopted:
The committee on the Mississippi river to
whom were referred the suggestions of Hon.
Eugene Underwood, president of the Miss.
isslppi river commission, relative to the pro-
priety of holding river convention with del
egates from every Congressional district in the
valley of the Mississippi, sometime during the
ensuing summer or fall, respectfully report
that they have fully considered the subject,
and recommend the adoption of the following
resolutions:
Resolued, That it is the sense of this cham
Der that the several river improvement con-
ventions beginning with the St. Paul conven-
ton of October 18th, 1877, inaugurated by
this chamber, have had the effect of arousing
the attention of Congress to the importance
of this great artery of commerce, and of pro-
curing the only appropriations worthy of the
name for its improvement and utilization.
That continued agitation OF the subject is
necessary to secure just and adequate appre-
citation of the subject, and the completion of a
system of improvements now barely COM
meneed which shall meet the growing de-
mands Of agriculture and commerce and save
to the people the millions of dollars now ex-
pended by them every year for transportation.
To this end we fully recommend that river
convention be held on the 18th day of October,
1881, at the city of st. Louis, to be
composed of delegates from every Con-
gressional district in the valley of the
Mississippi, for the purpose of further urging
upon Congress the carrying out of a complete
system of Improvement of the Mississippi
river and all its tributaries, and that a copy
of these resolutions be communicated to the
Mississippi river commission, with the request
that they make the necessary arrangements
for holding such convention.

Mr.. Root, of Iowa, the party that furnishes

Mr.. Root was very much surprised at the

Mr.. Staples will in few days break ground

that within ninety days the old wooden build

will be removed and fine block put up in
their stead.
The G.. a. r. went to Baytown yesterday, by
carnage, and decorated the graves there. 1t
was the intention to turn out and march to
Fairview cemetery in the afternoon, but as it was
raining they gave up and held the exercises in
the hall. We were not little surprised, for
we thought that old soldiers, on an occasions
like this, would not retreat for little mud.
Saturday night Mr.. Staples received fifty
four head of cattle for his meat market. They
were taken from the cars and driven out to
his farm. When they come to Third street,
where the water works had been filing, they
saw the water and not having had any for
some time they made break for the fill and
several had to be hauled out, as the sand that
came down from the bluff was full of water,
and when they got on to it they went down
and could not get out. Ellingsworth was
heard to say few words.
The Nina was fired up Sunday and her
strength tested, she registered 1850 to the

blowing at the time and the boat could not be
kept up where she should be, and had it been
favorable day her register would have run
up higher. After the test she was taken
down the lake as far as Baytown, and on her
return trip she made twelve miles az hour
against the current and strong head wind.
She has six foot stroke and will make twenty
revolutions per minute and hold her steam

THE fact that St. PAUL. is the head of

view of commencing his long swimming
journey at the foot of the falls below

TRENTON, Nj, May 30.-A train on the

at the Trenton house, j. H. Bilstien, Jr. and
wife, of Pittsburg, are two of the number.
The third person is little girl with the old
lady who died at the depot. The switch was

THE Utes drew their rations on Friday
last with becoming good humor. The
fact that they were all well armed and
mounted on ponies that were in good
condition is commented on. The fact
should only be an inducement to their
proper treatment in the future. If it
proves threat to the rascally agents who
have been in the habit of plundering
them in the past, so much the better.
