The Great River Highway.

It is announced that St. Louis will
establish line of steel barges to carry
grain to the seaboard at New Orleans
at the extremely low rate OF Sc a
bushel. This Will be an event of ma
tionsl Importance. The barges, with a
cargo of 800 tons, will draw not to eX
coed Is inches, which means an open
river at all seasons. Wooden barges
require feet and are far more eX
pensive to maintain. A shipyard for
the construction of steel barges will
be opened soon in ST. Louis and the
new system of transportation is to be
in operation by next March. The rail-
roads are now crowded beyond their
capacity in carrying grain to the
Atlantic ports, and shipping on the
lakes is very active in moving bulky
products such as grain, iron ore and
coal. The Mississippi river, famous
the world over for its length and
volume, and for the extent of its great
navigable tributaries, is not doing its
share in conveying the crops to the sea
