THE FATHER OF WATERS.
A Veteran Steamboat Man Thinks the
River has Seen Its Best Dsys-.-
Riplets.
A VETERANS VIEWS.

A VETERANS VIEWS.
Capt Tom feathers, who has run on
the Mississippi for 40 years, is now in
Washington, and in an interview with a
reporter makes some startling statements
about the great river. He says the day
of steamboating has gone by, meyer to re-
turn. The railroads have destroyed the
waterways of the country. The Missis-
sippi is now being diverted gradually into
the Atchafalaya river. Each year more
and more of its water runs into this
stream. 1t is only few years, In his
opinion, when the entire Mississippi will
be diverted into this channel of the Atch-
afalaya and will leave New Orleans, which
is now seaport dry inland town. He
thinks the fate of New Orleans is sealed
unless something is done very soon toward
correcting this break of the Mississippi.
He openly expresses his disbelief in any
thing being able to remedy it now, al
though he thinks that no harm may be
done perhaps in trying.
THE PITTsBURGH's MACHINERY.
The new machinery of the Pittsburgh
has proven failure after all the money
spent and time lost with the experiment.
AS far as saving of fuel is concerned the
new arrangement is success, but 1t is {
drawback on speed, and in order to make
the fast time which the Pittsburgh is ac>
customed to would necessitate the put
ting in of new pipe which would bring
the running expenses up to what it wa
with the former machinery. So the man
agement of the company. upon Capt
Killeen's advice, have decided to replace
the former machinery For other lines or
the upper Mississippi, where saving to
the company is everything. regardless Of
time lost, the new arrangement might do.
but to the Diamond 10, where everything
must be done to get around quickly tC
accommodate an immense trade, speed
must first be looked after.

While the superintendent and members

Now and then the reporter In his
rounds meets up with chronic grum-
bier who declares in carping tone
that the wheat crop Is ruined. He in
sists that there is no hope for 1t; that
the continuous rains have caused it to
resprout in the shock, and that
the grain is bleached. These
rains have, for the most,
been confined to Dallas Comfy,
and more strictly speaking, to a
small radius around Dallas city. The
farmers, in shocking their wheat, have
capped the shocks in such manner
that but very little water, no matter
how hard the rainfall, ever reaches
the grain. The fact Is Texas has more
wheat and better wheat than any State
in the Union. Mr.. Alexander Cockrell,
who is running thresher west OF the
river, stated to q reporter yesterday
that he had threshed the crop OF at
least 80 farmers and that there was
not as many as 80 bushels of spoiled
grain in all that he had threshold. he
says so far the crop averages over 70
bushels to the acre.
