Captain Stack Lee, the popular lower bend
skipper, whose name is as familiar in every
household between here and Friars Point as
pig tracks in barn-yard, has been spending
a few days ashore, taking a resting spell from
bis arduous labors of the past season. The
repairs the Coahoma Is undergoing affords
him an opportunity to do so without further
interfering with the interests of his patrons
than the inconvenience the lower benders are
put to In not seeing his genial face every day
in the week. We will take occasion to in
terview the Coahoma in her new condition
before she starts out, and try to tell what
great things have been done to her, making
her as new as when she was first launched, if
1t reduces our flesh eUer so much.
Golden Rule Pilot: 1.-THE United States
snagboat, r. E. DeRussay, was in O!dtown
bend on Thursday, gradually working her
way up the river. But even if she pulls
every snag in sight, she cannot make thor
ough work of it, because at this stage of
water the most dangerous snags are hidden.
She should be set to work during low water
when every snag is visible. Too little at
tention is paid this work. If four or five
snagboats were set to work during low water,
the river could be kept entirely free from
snags, and be perfectly safe. 1t is a great
wonder that more boats do not sink, and If it
were not that pilots are generally well-in-
formed and careful, many accidents would
happen. Give us more snagboats and more
low water
St. Louis Times, Wednesday: ''The first
practical test of the improvement, so-called,
of the shoals in the Cumberland river, some
seven miles south of Somerset, was made
Saturday morning, and resulted in the de-
struction and loss of eighteen barges contain
ing one hundred thousand bushels of coal,
and the death, by drowning, of young man
named jeff Heath. Large quantities of coal
have been sent down the Cumberland river,
annually, for many years, and passed over the
shoals with not more than an average loss of
ten per cent. until the government undertook
to improve them. Last summer the govern
ment expended three hundred thousand dol
have to be removed, or the shipment of coal
stopped The parties who have met with
this serious loss are talking of bringing suit
against the government for the amount of
their damage"
