The committee Informally disguised
the work that lies before II and the sub
committees, and the sentiment was
unanimous that the business people are
taking hold of the affair with an enthu-
siasm that cannot fail to make the
wheeling river Improvement convention
The most enjoyable in its short and ex-
ceedingly brilliant and successful career.
It is already apparent that the conven-
ton Is going to be as good membership
boomer as could be desired; business
men not members OF the chamber who
desire to be sin" In the coming conven-
ton good times are seeing the advan-
tages Of membership in the chamber as
they have not seen them before. So, d.
rectly and indirectly, the chamber Of
commerce will benefit through taking
under its auspices the river improve
ment gathering.
The committee has received Intorma-
ton from a number OF river cities and
GOWNS, between Pittsburgh and Cairo,
which indicate that the Wheeling con-
Vention Is to be one Of large attendance,
and representative rs well as large. The
larger delegations will come from Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati and Louisville.
The subcommittee will at once enter
upon their work. The entertainment
committee will probably meet before the
close Of the present week. All commit
tee meetings will be held at the chamber
OF commerce.
