Dubuque Herald: "Some thirty days ago
Major A, Mackenzie, of the United States
Engineer Corps, obtained permission from
the Government TO build and experiment
on a new style of wheel for steamboat pur-
poses, so he Immediately placed the steamer
Vixen under the immediate supervision OF
his able assistants to complete the task.
The work was done at the Iowa Iron Works,
and it is called the feather wheel, on the
principal of always going into the water
straight and leaving it in the same way,
thus applying the power in direct line
with the keel of the boat. This obviates
the great fault of the old style
wheels, which hammer the water going in
and lift the water going out, which amounts
to about one-third of the power being last
With the feathering wheel the motion is
steady, and no Earring or shaking of the
boat, which makes a large saving on ma
chinery and hull The wheel is protected
by heavy angle iron rim put on the out
side the arms, keeping the arms from catch
ing logs or floating rubbish and almost i'm
possible to break il of. Yesterday at 9:45
O'Clock A. NJ. Major Hoffman and Captain
J. d. Dushene with their invited guests,
Messrs. Charles n. Clark, Burt Z. Linehan
and others, left the wbarfboat for test
trip up the river as far as Buena Vista.
She was worked on half stroke and ran
from 80 to 100 pounds OF steam. Her
best five miles were made in twenty min
utes, which is three miles per hour faster
than this boat ever ran before. As she is
not large steamer, great speed could not
be expected. but Mr.. ]. Ryan, the able
pilot, says he can tow one-third more ton
mage and take il UP the river faster than
he could with the old style wheel. The
steamboat fraternity are under many obi
cations TO Major Mackenzie for the time
and trouble he has given to making this a
success, and without doubt the wheel of
the near future Mr.. Hopkins, superin-
tendent OF construction, was on board and
delighted with the workings Of the same.
Several OF the owners of raftooats have
been watching this, and will, during the
winter, replace the old with new feather
ing wheel.
The crew of the steamer Harry Brown
arrived from above, yesterday, and took
the Brown on to Pittsburgh.
The steamer J. A. Stone, which was laid
up here on account of low water, was start
ed for Pittsburgh yesterday.
From the dispatches received late last
night there undoubtedly will be a large
river here shortly.
