Capt. Gordon Green is consider
ing the building of new boat for
the Kanawha river trade.
The ferryboat Arion, which has
been on the Middleport docks I'M
dergoing repairs, passed down by
here yesterday to resume her du-
ties between Proctorsville and
Guyandotte.
A fact that fortells we'll for the
Pittsburg operators is the inability
of Kanawha producers to get their
stuff to the market. There is no
water in the Kanawha river. It is
the first time in three years that
local coal men have been able to
reach the lower market before the
Kanawha people.
Work was commenced Thursday
to tear away the Golfer dam at
Lock 10 which is now ready for the
wickets and gates. Lock No. 9 is
also ready for the wickets and
gates, and as soon as this work is
done we will have slack water from
Lock 10 to head of navigation, and
will only have to wait a short time
until Lock No. IL viii be complet-
ed, when the entire river will be
slack water.
There seems to be a determine
ton among the members of the
river and harbor committee to Sc
cure greater legislation for the riv-
ers of the Ohio Valley this year
than ever before. We trust that
they may be successful. Every
improvement madeupon any of the
rivers above us increases the ton
mage of the whole river. and moi
dentally aids every town on the
river.

miners on the works, reminded me of
Julian Hawthorne's photographs of the
famine sufferers of India. He had been
underground without food for thirteen
days and ten hours, and for eleven days
of the time had as well been without
water or light. His only solace, and a
doubtful one, he said. had been to listen
10 the hammering of the miners as they
slowly cut and blasted their way
through the hard porphyry above. 1t is
doubtful IL he could have lasted another
day, the lack of water bringing suffering
far more acute than even the pangs of
hunger. Still he was bright. and as we
worked over him he told his story with
an air that showed his pride in his own
powers of endurance and his satisfaction
in the temporary prominence that the
episode had brought him. The skilful
physician had all preparations made.
The wasted form was laid on mattress
in the narrow drift, fresh air pipe being
brought from the surface. Stimulants
were given hypodermically, beef, tea

discretion and cod liver oil and alcohol
