RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

The waterways convention is over,
and has given additional impetus to
the work Of improving the Ohio river
and tributaries. The delegates who
returned today are confident that the
prospects of accomplishing the OBJ
ject of the Ohio Valley Improvement
association are better than ever be-
fore, and prominent men who will
work hard in the cause have been in
terested from Pittsburg to Cairo.
The Louisville Herald says on the
subject:
The elections over, Kentucky's
enterprising and alert citizenship

frontage on the Ohio nearly as long
as that of the large and populous
commonwealths of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois combined. To say nothing
of smaller streams. Kentucky's af-
fluents into the Ohio are rivers Of
such availability for navigation as
the Cumberland, the Tennessee, the
Green, the Kentucky, the Licking
and the Big Sandy which lies be-
tween West Virginia and Kentucky.
These rivers have all much more
than local importance. The Cumber-
land and Tennessee drain large sec
tions of Tennessee, the Tennessee
making a big bend into Alabama as
far south as Guntersville, and recoiv-
ing tributary waters from both Ala
bama and Mississippi.

The iron and steel men of Pitts
