\ Trade Suggestion,

templates putting up Il steam elevator
over in Cottonport, using the machin-
cry, we suppose, now in place along
side the railroad track. Cannot The
Wharfboat company make an arrange
ment with the Captain to take charge
of the Monroe elevator, either selling
or leasing the property to him: With
his steamboats, and extensive acquain-
lance and his well-proven energy and
application to business, the elevator,
now idle and practically Of but small
benefit to the city and its owners, if
placed in his charge would be a source
of income to its owner, or owners, and
the trade of Monroe largely increased.
With railroad going by us, it would
seem gross negligence and unpardona-
bic Indifference on the part of men in
business not to utilize the Ouachita
and its tributaries, where trade can
be secured sufficient of itself to build
up and sustain a business Of thousands
of dollars. All the facilities required
to inaugurate river trade are at hand,
and nothing more is needed than a
spirit of mutual accommodation and
encouragement.
