A CONVENTION Of GOO delegates has
recently been in session at st. Louis
to consider the matter of the improve
ment Of our navigable rivers and have
passed some very important resolutions
which will tend to awaken Congress
to make more liberal appropriations for
our Western rivers, and we hope the
great Columbia and its tributaries will
come in for their share. The conven-
ton advocates that when the Govern
ment ones decides to commence an i'm
provement that it should make full
appropriation, sufficient to complete
the same. so that the work can be con-
tinued without interruption, thereby
saving much loss and at the same time
reaping the full benefits of an early
completion. Fall one-half Of the ap
preparations for the Columbia and
Snake rivers have been US d in
making preparations for work which
soon had to DO abandoned for want oil
funds to 60 forward and complete when
once commenced.
