though every suitable and available space
for packing Is filled. Sufficient has been
gathered to give superabundance above
all possible demand. SO that there will
be none 80 poor that they may not provide
themselves with this necessity OF the
heated term.
Steamboat men hereabout are busy pro.
pairing for the break up, although the
prospect OF such an occurance Is not i'm.
minert, Yet the weather is soft and the
ice getting little tender. II cuts easy
with the saw and numerous hands are EN-.
ployed in cutting out the steamers and
barges. Most Of the craft are in rather
exposed positions, still we have said be-
lore, the incidents Of break up are so COM
Plicated that they are beyond the
prophetic ken Of the most experienced
river men, so they just do the best they
can in the way Of precautions and trust to
Providence for the result.
Capt. Billy List is doing what work he
can on his new boat, working as many
men as the class of work that can be done
in this weather will admit of.
Mr.. Warren has to keep n force Of men
at the pumps on one OF his oil barges to
prevent it from sinking. All the oil has
been successfully removed and he rests easy
