TO WORK on CONGRESS.
The eArneituoH OF the delegates
equils their numbeE4. They arc here
for but ono thing, aud they are attend.
Ing strictly to that business. The form
Of organization will provide for inteIli.
.cnt and persistent pressure on Con.
gress in tho hope OF making good be-
ginning this winter,
Ia conversation with Capt. @. w.
Bachelor, OF Pittsburgh, he developed
Athought that is worth something to
Wheeling. His idea IL that tho I'M
pt1yement OF the river will be advanced
beet by each community laying hold
vigorously Of that which comes nearest
20 1t aud all pulling together. For
Wheeling he recommended strongly an
effort to secure u lock and dam at the
end Of the island. This would carrg us
ayoys tho Sisters islands, aud practical
Y give ul a lake between tue two points.
Captain Batchsllor thinks that with tho
Improved methods Of construction this
so,k could bo done for about SjOO,OJO.
