WHEELING. Nov. 1i.-"A nine.foot.
all.the-year-ronnd navigable stage from

the Ohio Valley Improvement Assocla.
tion. which began It's thirteenth ses.
sion in Wheeling To-day. Delegations
are here from nearly every city and
town on the Ohio river and greater
enthusiasm is manifested than ever
before. Now that the administration
has gone on record as favoring gov
ernment appropriations on large
scale for the Improvement OF internal
waterways. the association will at
tempt to prove that the Ohio, by rea.
son Of the great traffic II. carries.
should be among the first to receive
attention when the vaults OF the fed.
eral treasury are unlocked. Tonnage
figures for the Ohio are enormous.
when compared with n majority of the
other inland waterways OF the coun.
try, and 1t is believed. with the ina Gg-
aratlon OF a permanent nine-foot stage,
would greatly increase. No other trib-
utary OF the Mississippi. has kept up
such a good river business as the
Ohio, and this will be called TO the
attention OF the powers that be in
Washington when the river appropria.
. tions come up for action. Plans for
such action. as well as for local i'm
provement work. will be considered at
the present meeting. The sessions

white steel ceiling, with its gilt trim
mings, shining brilliantly in the even.
ing by the light of the artistic cleo
trio lamps New shelving encircles
the room and all seats and other fix.

the monotony of the counters and
shelves. A complete new stock OF

many styles never before offered for
