Shipping Lumber in Barges Proves a
Great Success.
GRAND AND PETIT JURORS
Judge Murdoch Spends Day at Home
General News of the Bluff
City.

The effort of J. E. Joy, the prominent
st. Louis lumberman. to ship lumber
from this city to St. Louis in barges has
proved success, and next season there
will undoubtedly be large quantity of
lumber shipped in this manner. 1t was
reported in some of the papers that this
scheme would probably do away with
the rafting of logs and lumber from
this city to down-river points. Such is
not the case, however. as the old-fash-
toned way of rafting logs and lumber is
by far the cheapest, and will remain in
vogue as long as numbering is kept up.
Mr.. JOY handles great deal of dry
lumber, and this scheme was inaugu-
rated simply to determine whether or
not it was cheaper to ship by barges
than by rail. Mr.. Joy stated that when
raft of lumber reached st. Louis,
which had been shipped from these
would be soaked and swelled, while
when shipped in bargeS it would re-
main dry and fit for the market upon its
arrival.
