| the interests of river improvement, be
chosen by each committee as member OF
an executiveicommittee on river improve
ment," and that such ectedIrepresentative
| be asked to meet in st. Louis, on July IL,
| 1888, for the purpose of devising some plan
of action which will unite the commercial

the work of securing adequate appropria-
tions from the general government to
make our great western waterways navi-
gable and useful adjuncts to trade and
| commerce. +. G. EwALD, Preside Mt.
