Red River Transportation

Every season Red River witnesses
a fight between established and indie
pendent lines Of steamers; between,
as we will show, their true friends
and their gougers. We contend, and
believe we have the support OF all
large shippers in that contenti"n'
that the present Pool line of steam
ers now transporting freight and pas
senvers in Red River is the best,
fairest. and most reliable system ever
vet had in operation in the river.
Some men contend that is mono
poly we do not see single feature
about it that would give it that name
On the contrary, it is more m"'''''
concern between shipper and trans
porter than otherwise.
During low water their charges are
not too high, when we CONSIDER ''e
fact of the difficulties and dangers
they encounter to enable rs to snip
at all. In fact, they are not pa'd a
rate to Justify the risk; and "he"
less than quarter loads, all they cal"
tor winch 1ury MAY iNungr thavrarrX'
rates, we at once see there is less
money for the line, than in high wa
ter at Card rates.
This Pool line has, through all sea-
sons, whether high or low water. pay
ing or losing money, supplied the
trade with transportation at fa'l
rates.-this much is what they have
done, besides which. it is resp"nS'
