THE MISSOURI RIVER CON
VENTION.
The St. Joseph board of trade haa
issued the following call for n conven
tion to tnku into consideration the re
quirements of the MiEHOuri valley in
the matter of river improvement nn <
to bring before congress the claim.i c ;
n vast section of agricultural country
for attention nt thu hands of the nn-
tiotml legislature :
KANHAK CITY , November a , 1881.
To the pee > lo of the Missouri Valley :
Pursuant to thu unanimous ui.th ol
thu dok'gatcn from the Missouri valley
to the latu convention held in St.
Louis for the "Mississippi river nnd
its tributaries , " formally oxpreesod at
n , meeting held.nt thu Southern hotel ,
St. Louiw , Octo'ber 27th , the under
signed , by authority of thu executive
committee of thu Missouri river
improvement association , hereby
umnunces that the Missouri river con
vention will be held nt St. Joseph ,
Mo , , on the 2Ih ! ) day of November ,
L881. It is thu object of thin meeting
.o take such action as will secure the
n to runts of the Missouri river in any
lontm'ssiotml action that may betaken
ooking tothoimprovomcntof western
rivers. " It is suggested thnt thopeopla
of the several municipal corporations ,
such as counties , townshinH , towns and
cities , Bond representatives propor-
.ioned to population as follows : For
5,000 population or l ss , 2 delegates ;
for over 3,000 and less than 5,000 , 4
delegates ; for 5,000 and less than
i,000 , G delegates ; for 8,000 and
ens than 12,000 , 8 delegates ;
for 12,000 and less than 20,000 , 10
lelogates ; for 20,000 and less than
(0,000,12 ( delegates ; for . ' (0,000 ( nnd
PSS than DO,000 , 14 delegates ; for
f 0,000 nnd less than 100,000 , , 1C dele
gates ; for 100,000 or over 20 dele
gates. It is also suggested that com-
ncrcial organizations maintaining a
laily exchange send dclegatca no
oil own : For fiOO members or
PPD , 20 delegates ; for otor
iOO members , 30 delegates.
Members of congress are respectfully
nvitud to attend an representative of
heir districts , and governors of states
nnd territories as representatives of
heir states and territories. It is
mpcd that the magnitndo of iho in-
erjsts to bo served , and the ndvant-
igcs nought , will prompt thu people
o n cordial co-operation , and secure
v convention of magnitude and intel-
igcnco as will bo felt nt homo nnd
abroad. Very respectfully ,
E. COATES , President.
W. II. MiLLKn. Secretary.
The St. Joseph murehantu have ar
ranged nn elaborate programmo for
iho entertainment of the delegates
concluding with n grand banquet on
, ho Droning of Wednesday Iho 30th.
It is to be hoped that the success of
lie Mississippi river convention re
cently held nl St. Louis will stimulate
every town in the Missouri valley that
B interested in the subject of cheap
ransportalion lo send their full quota
of delegates to St. Joseph. A large
earnest nnd enthusiastic meeting wil
U > and much lo force upon the nttun-
ion of Congress Iho needs of Iho most
mportnnt agricultural section of the
weal nnd the benefits which would bo
lerivod from a systematic nnd pernm-
lent improvement of her great water
way. . _ _ _ _ _
As TUB opening of congress np-
iroaches the head * of the departments
ireparo their estimated for the coming
isc.U your nnd the public are let into
ho secret of how much it costs to run
the government. The entire revenue
if the nation amountii to SIJOO,000,000
annually , and the oxponditurts have
ivcragud ? 2CO,000,000. This Bum
vill be largely increased during the
coming y ar. The interior department
nska for 9100,000,000 for pensions
ilono , $05,000,000 of which IH on ac-
ounl of the arrearages of the pension
ict , This enormous num represents
icarly one-third of the entire revenue
if the government. The war depart-
nenl calls for $2,000,000 over ita lasl
'ear's appropriation , which , it is
humid , is duo to thu increased cost
of nrmy supplies of all kinds. The
stimato of the secretary of the navy
s § 31,000,000 for rebuilding the pros-
nt navy and adding forty-two ships
o the available force , Altogether , the
appropriations asked , if granted , will
liuiinish the surplus revenue of the
ovuriiinont n the end of the next tis-
al year by nearly fifty millions of
lollars.

A lively railroad fighi is brewing in
Montana. Tim advance guards of the
Union and Northern Pacific companies
are already skirmishing for position in
the valley of the Ulackfoot. Survey
ors of both companies are working on

wealthy valley can only be se
