In August, 1914, Mr.. Niles, the indefatgable edi.
tor ofthe WEEKLY REGISTER, made an elaborate
calculation to show that the grand route from Buff
falo, Ia New York. to New Orleans, a distance o,
IA miles. might be performed in a steamboat OF
500 TONS except between Michigan and the Illinois
river, where there was small obstruction, (since
removed,) t1tytaeo days aud eight hours for the
voyage down, and in fortysiz days for the passage
up!
The route from Washington, by way of New

Orleans, a distance of nearly 5000 miles can now
be traversed in less than eight days And the re-
turn trip does not require ten hours longer time
