ON OHIO RIVER

The six Ohio River states have a
POPULATION of 2O,903,6lG. and within
the valley Of the Ohio lies both the
center OF population and the center Of
interests of the United
States. The demand of the Ohio Val.
ley for am outlet by the nine foot

man. manufacturer. producer and con
sumner throughout the entire length
of the river. They realize the tremen-
dous impetus that would be given to
all enterprises by the complete and
permanent Improvement of the Ohio
River, which already in its unimprov
ed state and with its consequent un-
reliability, now carries a greater ton
mage than any other unimproved
stream in the world. and furnishes TO
the great Mississippi River practic
ally every ton Of through traffic
which is carried on that stream be
