steamboat Improyemept.

An old stesmbostman thinks some
radical improvements in the construction
Of steamboats, for the upper Mississippi
should be studied out. He says: The
boats that are being built now are nearly
OF the same form, have the same style Of
machinery, and are furnished very much
Ia the same style as the boats Of forty or
fifty years ago. Vast improvements have
been made in railroad cars and equip
ments. and all other machinery that
comes in general use, but in the line OF
steamboats, the old plans and appurteu>
ances are still adhered TO. Il is said
that the steamboat business OF the
Mississippi valley is playing out, and
10 -----s-~A lives of
boats are not making any money. while
many Of them are operating At loss.
think that the ancient plans 81 building
steamboats, are susceptible Of being i'm
proved upon the same a. other means OF
locomOtion. and IL improved to the same
extent the business might still be made
profitable. There are numerous towns
and sections Of the country along the
rivers still largely dependent upon the
river for transportion OF produce and
supplies. The tendency nowadays is to
build steamboats, too large Large boats
are more expensive to operate than small
err boats, are Of slower speed. aud 10 the
event Of low water are useless.
