     OUR LOCAL HERITAGE
     http://www.alle-kiskitoday.com/articles/archives/8
     
     EGYPT  AND  THE  AK  VALLEY: The Allegheny  River  Improvement
     Company was responsible for most of the river dredging on  the
     Allegheny River in the very early 1900s. Their company slogan?
     "On  to Cairo." It is unknown as to why that was their slogan.
     Perhaps  it was something to do with the sand they brought  up
     from  the  river  bottom  and the sand  in  Egypt?  Read  more
