IT, BAD on TIMBER >IES.-We are
informed that the Little Kanawha
Navigation Company have flushed
their lock and dam above Elizabeth ;
a2d have also published their rates Of
toll. While We believe that this i'm.
provcmGnt, when completed, will be Of
great benefit to the country, it is at
present undoubtedly nuisancc to the
lumber men Of Gilmor, Calhoun and
BraxIoa, and for this reason. In the
first place the rates OF toll for RATS is
two cents per mile for each 100 feet
(cubic mcnsure,) which amounts TO
about $50 per raft. In the next place,
It requires about half an hour to pass n
single raft through the lock, or about
As in the "a hours. This amounts 10
almost an absolute prohibition to RATS.
men, as a running rise" upon the
Little Kanawha seldom lasts over one
day aud night; and during which time
there are usually ran from go to 400
RATS. In tue third place, the lock is
so constructed that no boat over 100
feet in length can be passed through it.
This intcrfcres very seriously with
those who are in the habit Of running
bargcs loaded with timber or coal, BE-.
cause Of the fact they have heretofore
been constructing their barges 1870 or
l4O feet long, which have commanded
very ready sale ut Pittsburg and other
points as coal bargcs Under the
present order Of things, the boats usc.
essurily being Of much less capacity,
are wholly worthless for the coal tradc,
aud consequently bring their owners
but a small proportion Of their actual
cost. 1t is hoped that the Navigation
Company will consider these things,
aud Try to avoid the serious mistakes
III their improvements spoken OF ABOVE.
