CAPT. LONGS BOAT QUITS
No More Competition In the Rock Island.
Clinton Trade.

No More Competition Tn the Rock Island.
Clinton Trade.
The rivalry between the packets Of
Capts. S.reckfus and Long is at an
end, for this season at least, the lat
ter having retired his craft. the 10
Long, which has held out until Sat-
| urday. The Douglass Boardman was
run into quarters some time ago.
What are the plans of those who
have been backing Capt. Longs
boats for next season is a matter of
considerable interest to not only
river men, but merchants both in
Rock Island. Davenport. Clinton and
intermediate points. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Young. who has
been Capt. Longs principal finan-
cial hacker. has all he wants of
the steamboat business. The Daven-
port man who has been helping the
Long over the shoal places has not
been heard from in this respect. He
is understood to be George W. Cable,
but he has not outlined his plans for
next summers campaign. 1t is
rumored that a boat is in course of
constructions above here which will
equal either of Capt. Streckfus
boats, both in speed and beauty.
The Winona went into winter
quarters this morning, Capt. Streck-
fus bidding adieu to the traffic Of
'96 and has given out the following:
I'm closing the season of 1896.
wish to express my great apprecia-
ton Of the very liberal patronage
bestowed upon the Winoua both
by shippers and the travelling public
This general recognition of our
efforts in providing for the safety
and comfort Of our patrons has in
spired US with the determination to
place before the public next season a
steamer with still greater speed,
more commodious apartments and su-
perb adornments.
believing that our trade will
fully appreciate all that can be done
for it we shall begin at once with a
full force of skilled workmen on
those Improvements that will make
the Winsna the most beautiful and
attractive steamer ever run between
Davenport and Clinton.
again thanking our many friends
and patrons for the interest mani
tested I'm our behalf and hoping to
receive q continuation of the same in
1897, am, yours most respectfully,
JOHN STRECKFUs."
