The Golden City with a heavy cargo
aboard tried yesterday to ascend the
Falls at Louisville, assisted by the
Wash Gray, Transit and Andy Fulton,
but could not make it, and returned
to the Portland wharf. The Montana,
with the assistance Of the three har-
Dor boats, was trying the same feat.
Heavily laden boats will have to light
en- up over the Falls, or wait until
there is a sufficient decline in the
river to allow their passage through
the canal. The new addition to the
dam is said to be an obstruction to
navigation, and should be removed at
once.

Blake was the pioneer If the st. Louis

and Captain Of some of the finest boats
then running. The last boat he was
on was the John B. Maude, of the
Anchor Line. He spent the greater
portion of his life in the river service,
and grew in favor with both the trav
cling and shipping public, with whom
he was noted for his genial manners,
having always a kind word for those
with whom he came in contact. The
Anchor Line has lostin him a good and
faithful officer.
