INVITATION COMMITTEE TO MEET ON MONDAY. * ' AH the Indications point to a signally ...... l?1 .# In nn ?hn /WHUlfln Ctt fhp eucvcsniui auait uu mw wv..... -- annual convention of the Ohio Valley River Improvement Association, to be held here on September 14 and 15. The committee on finance is now closing its work, and it Is assured that Colonel Horkheimer and his associates will raise ample funds for the handsome entertainment of the association. Last evening there was a meeting of the committee on entertainment. The plans outlined at previous meetings were discussed and the several features decided upon. Until the arrangements are further advanced the committee will not give out the features of the entertainment to be provided. Suffice to say that the programme is one of elaborate and handsome entertainment, such as has not been attempted, at previous meetings of the association, which have been held at Cincinnati, Evansvllle and Pittsburgh successively. The committee on Invitation has not1 yet met, owing to the Impossibility to arrange its work before the entertainment committee has decided upon all of its programme. Chairman Archer will call a meeting of this committee for next Monday evening, to be held at the chamber of commerce. Some time ego, Chairman Hulllhen Quarrler, of the executive committee, ?4e\ n. number nf can- i gressmen, senators and representatives. He has received replies from several, among them the following: | Senator Elkins?The dote Is too far in I advance for me to make any arrange- I ments. I fear, however, that It will be Impossible for me to be present on ac- j count of some business matters which will require my attention at that time. However, I will keep you letter before me as a reminder of the date. Governor G. W. Atkinson?'Your kind letter inviting me to be present at the meeting: of the Ohio River Improvement Association, to be held in Wheeling the 14th and 16th of September, is before me. I This Is political year In our state, and | I am very much afraid) that my time is | going to be largely taken up in political matters. I would enjoy very much being present on the occasion,, because the improvement of the Ohio river is an enterprise of great value to our state. I trust that the gathering will give a fresh impetus to the work of making the Ohio river navigable for the trafllo of ours and other states. Representative Stephen M. Sparkman, Tampa, Fla.?I have your kind lnritanivwwnt a.* annual meet in* of the the Ohio River Improvement Association. I will take great pleasure In doing so if at that time in my power, but at present I cannot say to a certainty that I can go. Representative Thomas H. Ball, Huntsvllle, Texas?It will toe impossible for me to attend tho meeting. Much has been accomplished in the past by Intelligent Insistence upon the improvement of the Ohio river and Ita tributaries. Much remains to tie done. The importance of the work to the commerce of the nation should be pressed to a successful finish. Representative W. L. Ward, Chester. N. Y.?I do not believe that It will be possible for me to be up at your place on the days mentioned; as Mr Hooker, the chairman of our committee, and myself have made different arrangements for those days. Representative E. P. Atcheson, Washington, Pa.?I hope to be able to attend the meeting of the Ohio River Improvement Association in your city in September. I thank you for your courtesy. Representative Alston G. Dayton, Phillppl, W. Va.?My whole sympathies and cordial good wishes go out to you 1n this work, and I feel like saying to you what I do not usually say as a public official, that there are few things you can ask me to assist you to do In this work in my public capacity that I will not gladly do.
