The bar in front oil the city is just
becoming visible, and is greatly
changed since last year 10 the FIRST
place It is not as prominent as hereto
fore, having generally made its APP
pearance before the old wreck was
uncovered. The wreck has been out
several days. Again the points Of the
bar just visible are about opposite the
cid wreck, heretofore it has boen
some distance above. There is the
appearance of good water on the inside
Of the bar all the way out to the wreck
of tho Missouri. which is now visible
for the first time in Two years. We
believe that a little assistance
properly rendered, the current
of the river just now would
tpra the channel TO this side the bar,
and vastly improve our landing We
would like to sec an examination
