THE nIssissIrpI TRAFFIC.
a Plan 10 Restore ~ 10 Its Former
spicndos.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. T.-By adding cleo.
trlcity to the motive power OF steam.
boats a ST. Louis inventor proposes TO
make them formidable rivals OF rail-.
road lines anu restore the Mississippi
anu tributary river traffic TO It's old time
splendor.
A company has been organized and
incorporated with capital stock Of
! 81, 200, 900, to be known ns the Mississippi
River Electrical Steamboat company.
The president Of the company aud In
vontor OF the patent Is IL. II. L!emke,
aud the Vice president and superlnten.
dent is Abbott Vasch Of the PatGrl0ays
Journal. They propose to revolutionize
steambOating.
The boats used for passenger traffic
will not carry freight. They will be
built light aud strong. IL is expected
that they Will make the trip from 81.
Louis TO New Orleans In two days anu
and twelve hours and the return trip
In three days and twelve hours. This
boats will run between 81. Paul and
New Orleans.
The fare from this city to New Or
leans will be 50, and the hackers OF the
enterprise expect TO do up the railroad
lines In very short order. Tho steam
boats Will DO built ON now pattern.
They will he much smaller than the
boats now In use. The wheels will be
propelled by both steam and electric
ity. One engine and three motors
Will DO attached TO each wheel.
At present the wheels OF steambosts
make eighteen revolutions u minute,
but the improved power will cause "A
minimum OF iorty-hve revolutions.
The speed will he increased to twenty
i've or thirty miles an hour, while ten
miles IL now considered very good.
There will be boats exclusively for
freight, which will make slower trips
than tho passenger boats. The passen-
ger steamers will make no long stops
Of wharls and landings. They will mr.
rive and leave on schedule time, only
stopping long enough to take on and
put of passengers.
