"A RIVER CONVENTION
April 80 Selected as the Day
 of Meeting.
THE ARRANGEMENTS MADE
The River Is Failing Slowly, but tho Demand for Help Is Greater Than Before The Difficulty in Ob-
 taiuing Laborers.

vicKsBuRc, Miss, April t5.--A com today at the Cotton Exchange and selected April 90 as the day to hold the river con vention Committees on invitations and arrangements were appointed. It was de cidcd to have an interstate convention, and all States on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and Arkansas and Red rivers will be represented by delegates appointed by boards of trade, city and county officials and appointments by the various gover- nors from their States at large. The River Commission will be invited and also noted State engineers. It promises to be the most important water convention ever held here. No doubt many having theories on con- trolling the river and aiding navigation will ventilate them But the feeling here for 500 miles up and down the river is that the River Commission and its work will be indorsed and the con nvcnton will be a lever for Congress to uphold the United States engineers more firmly In the great work begun.
