of the Iowa Central bridge caught
fire Sunday afternoon. The fire start

River men IN
SESSION HERE:

It's sale it will be possible to pay the
expense of keeping the river in navi-
gable condition. In fact even If the
river was not navigable l believe it
would pay to go ahead and make use
of the power which will be developed
| might go on and tell you of other
work being done in other states and
other facts Which might influence the
skeptical but from the enthusiasm
displayed here l feel sure we have
none of that nature with us. My adj
vice is that each and every one read
and consider the subjects involved
and prove to himself the sanity of the
proposed river work When this great
work is finished hope that the honor
will be accorded the members of this
convention of riding up the river on
the first steamboat out.
Miller is Active.
A. G. Miller, father" of the agita-
ton for improving the Des Moines
river, and one of the most enthusiastic
boosters of the idea, is one Of the bust
est men in the convention. Mr.. Miller,
accompanied by Gels Botsford, secre-
tary Of the Des Moines Commercial
association, arrived last evening, and
all morning both these men have been
actively engaged with the waterways
committee in preparing for the mon
ster meeting now in progress. With
Capt. E. H. Thomas, Mr. Miller is
sharing the honors of being the orig
inal river enthusiast, and both these
boosters are attracting great interest
in the meeting Both Mr. Miller and
Mr.. Thomas will address the conver-
ton this afternoon.
Eddyville is Strong.
The town of Eddyville is represent
ed by twenty boosters, and each is be-
decked with red badge on which is
shown likeness of the Getty of Ed
dyville," the only steamboat on the
Des Moines river. The Eddyville rep
resentatives mean to put forth every
effort to assist in improving the
