Boats Husy.
INTELLIGENcE by wire at the Office OF
the Cherries Mix County Warehouse and
Transportation Company at CastalIa
that the new Missouri River steam boat,
the Castaia, has left on her first up trip
caused the greatest of good feeling and
great rejoicing. Already there is sacked
and waiting at the landing over 1900
bushels OF wheat to bo shipped to the
Sioux City market Besides this there
are 800 he ad Of fat hogs under con-
tract to go by boat to Sioux City from
the county, such Watson Ham,
Onesium Turgdon, Edwin Tucker,
Reeves ~ Co., Rapcr Ellsworth. Il. A.
Lucas and others. The success OF the
scheme OF marketing Charles Mix stock
aud products by boat Is assured during
the season OF nav alton I'd Instead Of
one 1t Is likely another season will see
at least four boats In the trade. When
1t Is known that there are thousands OF
heads OF cattle, hogs aud sheep to be
sent to market this fall and next spring
and summer, besides tho 500, OyD
bushels OF surplus grain and the i'm
menso quantity OF produce, eggs and
butter, 1t II doubtful II four boats Of
the carry capacity OF the Castalia and
the Capitola Butte can do the work.
The feeling Is universal throughout the
county that every citizen should per-
sonaiIy interest himself to mako the
transportation by river a success Knd
there Is hardly man but will sacrifice
something in price on what he has to
sell to do so. The sacrifice Of only .
few cents in price is q saving after al.
as it obviates the paying or . night 3
lodging for man aud team, besides .
hard days drive to the railroad. II Is
settled thing that the railroad com
pany that wants Charles Mix traffic
must build into the county to secure 1t
or they will lose the hulk OF it and
sioux City and the Missouri River
steamboats, will get It.
