THE KoUNTz LINE.-A few years ago, when the
first steamer built for the trade between this city
and st Louis, by Commodore j. W. Kountz, ar
rived at this port, her odd appearance and con-
structlon served to move the risibies Of q few,
but at the same time, after careful insr ction the
boat was pronounced bv old and experienced
steamboatmen as just the thing to compete with
opposing lines, be they barges or steamers. ] he
Commodore has at present a regular line plying
between this city and ST. Louis, consisting Of the
following named steamers:
Jno. +. Toe capacity 1000 tons Hy. G. Yea
ger: capacity 1000 tons Belle Of Shreveport, ca
paclty over 300 tons Paragon, estima ted capa-
city 2iOO tons, and the Carrie V. Kounts, 1900
tons (; and in addition he has five other steamers
at present engaged in the Missouri River trade
which can be added to the New Orleans line at
short notice. From q late number Of the St. Paul
Press We CHIP the following in regard to the Com
modore and his upper line:
The steamer FOntenelle is one OF the ROuntZ |
line. which runs weekly between Bismarck and
Carroll, doing an immense business with inter-
mediate points. This line # steamers, consist
ing Of the Fontenelle, Katie p. Kounts, Ida
StOckdale, May Lowry and Peninah is owned
by Com. KOnnta, OF Pittsburg, Pa They are |
nrst-cla>s steamers IN every respect. aud nOtwith-
standing the efforts inside to indnce the IN
initiated t" believe otherwise, they are almost |
daily becoming more pOpuiar with our travelling |
aud business population. In my estimation the |
public at large ought to be rightly informed rela-
tive u the merits or dement's OF this or any
other line OF steamers that undertakes the mis-
sion of common carriers and custodians Of the
lives and property Of the community at large
This route from Bism ,rck to Carroll is rapidly
an important one. and it is . matter Of
vital Importance to the h'Ht OF passengers that
must necessarily traverse the route by some line

lal who undertakes to transp TT his person or
property such . considerable distance and not
