MANY PROMINENT SPEAKERS

Louisville, ky, Oct, 22-The address of Major W. L. Sibert, member or the Panama Canal Commission, Who- addressed the Ohio Valley Improvement Association this afternoon, was one or the chief features of the convention.

He said that the deep waterway advocates are also advocates of a nine foot stage for the Ohio and asked the assistance of the latter in securing the development or tbe Upper Mississippi. If necessary, he suggested a bond issue should be made fo carry on the proposed improve rnentg. His address was warmly re- ceived.

He said that pay rolls and other fixed charges have al- ready resulted in a loss of nearly a million dollars, and that $7.0O0.00O ot property, including bafses, steamboats and shipping property is lying idle and Jnseless because what he termed the neglect of Congress has allowed the Ohio river to become unnavigable as a result of drouth.
