Missouri RIVER TRADE AND THE
BoATs BELONGING TO IT.-There is no
trade III the United States, if there be any
in the world. that, employs as many steam
boats as does that Of the Missouri River;
nor is there a River in which as good,
staunch built and fine boats are required.
The Missouri is a dangerous stream TO
navigate, even during the highest water,
and consequently a boat bull for that
stream mustbe of the best and soundest
material, besides being put together in the
staunchest manner There is not a River
in the West in which a good BOAT is so lib
orally supported as in the Missouri, nor is
there a River where as high prices for
freight and passage are paid Steamboat
officers and other crews are better paid on
the Missouri than i'll any other river, and
boats that run in it make more money than
they could any where else, In fact, the
Missouri is the great river of the wesL.-
The people who are employed on it, and
who travel on it, live faster and better than
on any other stream in the known world.
In order to give our readers who reside in
other States an idea of what is going on
in the Missouri river, we will give a list
Of the steamboats, that are now there, and
would add, at the same time, that there
are at least one dozen new boats now
building, that will enter the coming fall
season:
