Stanley Ryland, "the big Injun," Of Annapolis,
writes as follows about the way they are steam
boating at st. Louis:
''St. Louis boatmen don't go to work and adapt
themselves to the prevailing wants of the ship
ping community like they do in Cincinnati The
shippers and boatmen don't work together like
they do in the Ohio. A st. Louis boat wont leave
port until she gets full load, if it takes month
and shippers, knowing that, won't wait and con-
sequently ship by rail. A Cincinnati boat gets
all she can by the time she is advertised, and
then goes and depends elsewhere for freight,
and gets it. Let st. Louis establish line, and
go#hen the times comes, like the Anchor line
packets, and then they will see the difference and
boating will soon assume all its past lite and
prosperity. The age for sitting down and wait
Ing for business 70 come and for having sure
thing in sight without hunting and working for it,
has long since passed away, and the sooner
steamboatmen find it out the better"
