ARKANSAS RIVER.

b
kansas river, We think tha, II is ii' time 'ha's
lthc work should be commenced. Our river GER
i,ninIy is in most depIorablo condition for theS
safe navigation Of any kind of crafts; steainboa's
are compelled from tho immense numbers o'
rs, to lio by every night, and tho running even
lin daylight is extremely dangerous. In many
places the snags are so numerous that it is almos's
impossible for a steamer to run between them.-E
There have been one or two snog boats in this rv-
er, which have ascended as high as Pine Bluffs. \
and then returned without removing to any ex. i
ent tho many dangerous snags that so'maierIallys !
obs:ruct tho safe navigation Of this river. WiAH
no, some one of our congressional delegation look
into this matter, and see il something cnnnot beE
done TO improve the river, and If possible TO haveJ
snag boa,s placed in this river. to bc commanded
by men who ould take M interest IN the well. !

Improvement of our river and the consequent IN. (
crease of our business arising the!etron! We haVea
had many serious accidents, Of late, which aroses
Am the last few weeks several OF our best boatst
have been snagged ana otherwise injured, there'i
by sustaining great loss; while we see that thes
boats arc employed entirely upon the improve
ment of rivers that certainly do no. need II so muchs

due US, and thai in the future management OF they
boats employed that they may be placed undera
the command of men who are experienced in :hesS
navigation of Arkansas river, they alone can (
know how to operate to the successful accomplish

much needed by the people.
