Sibley of the Chamber of Commerce has appointed a committee of local citizens to attend the National Rivers and Harbors Con- gress of the United States of America. which meets in Washington, D. C., De- cember 4, and of this year. The meeting this year is the ninth annual convention of the organization, and it is stated will be the greatest meeting ever held by them.
 The function of the organization is of the rivers and harbors of the coun- |try With the understanding that the Panama canal will soon be completed, the question comes up, are the rivers and harbors of the United States ade- quately equipped and prepared for the necessary increase in business and trade?
 As result of the election Tuesday, the democrats will have great deal of power in Washington, and it is be- lieved that the south and Alabama will come in for greater share of the inn provement of rivers and harbors. The question is made even more in- lteresting to Alabamians on account of the Mobile harbor improvement move ment and the proposed canal from Bir- mingham to Tuscaloosa and thence to the gulf. The Rivers and Harbors con gress is generally recognized as a pow erful organization which can accom- plish a great deal along the line of waterway improvements.
 A strong delegation of local men will
 go to Washington to attend the meet ling. Among those who are on the com
 nittee are: R. w. Massey, John w sibley. John l.. Raul. N. L. Miller. J
