The officers Of steamers playing between
st. Louis and Keokuk report the Oclaviu
as being of very little if any service. She
spent much time with snsgs which are
not in the way and does little or nothing
in deepening the channel. The same
are made against the dredging
boats near st. Paul.
Tho river between here and st. Louis is
so low that snag boat would be Of great
service in removing the snsgs which are
as plentiful as teeth in harrow.
