BIC FLEET OF BOATS.
Steamers for Use on Lower Mis-
sissippi Government Work
Nearing Completion.
THEY ARE TO COST $4,000 EACH.

Have Steel HuIls, the Most Ponderous Ma =
chinery and All the Modern Inventions
of Powerful Towboats-Lighted by EIec-
tricity and Heated by Steam-Being Built
by the iowa Iron Works.
The largest fleet of government
steamers which has ever been built at
one time for western river improve
ment is almost complete at Dubuque.
The last of the five has been launched.
Two of the boats will come down the
river this week. The boats are all for
use in river Improvement on the lower
Mississippi and represent a cost to the
government of $50. 900 each. All of
them have steel bulls. the most pom
derous machinery and all the modern
inventions of powerful towboats.
They will be utilized in pushing heavy
dredges up and down the river. They
are fitted up with modern quarters
for United States government engi-
neers and boat officers. lighted by cleo
tricity and heated by steam. Each
will be steered by steam.
The boats were built by the Iowa
Iron works. which has place in his
lOII dS Inc VI
boats. At those works were built the
torpedo boat Ericsson and the revenue
cutter William Window, both of
which figured prominently in the
American-Spanish war. At the same
works was built the government tow
boat, Gen. Newton. Nearly thirty
years ago the first steel hull on west
ern waters was built there. 1t was
for the steamer Clyde, and the boat is
running today. In that time it has
been changed from side to stern
wheel and has several times been re-
habilitated with new machinery. but
the same hull is still intact. Since
that time 81 steel bulls have been
built at the yards there.
Admirably Adapted for Work.
Speaking of the fleet of boats now
in the slip at Dubuque, President
Dickey says that considered from all
points they are most admirably
adapted for the work before them and
are the best and most complete ever
launched in western waters.

sTRADDuES HIS ENGINE.
Brave Act of a Burlington Employe in an
Emergency.

When the fast mail train going east,
No. s. went through Kewanee few
nights ago, says the Star-Courier.
anyone who might have been looking
closely at the engine would have seen
a man outside the big engine riding it
like small boy does his hobby horse.
The man was j. w. Murray, of Gales
burg, and it was 4 wild ride he had
from Galesburg to Chicago. On the
night in question the train pulled
into Galesburg 10 minutes late The
engineer reported he must change
engines, as he could not make the
whistle work.
Mr.. Murray, who was there when
the big Baldwin entered the yarus,
saw something must be done quickly
\ longer delay in changing engines
might get the train into Chicago so
late the company would forfeit large
sum to the government, and yet to 90
with a broken whistle would invite
big damage suits if anyone was hurt
Calling to the engineer to pull out
ut once and mounting the cab he
walked out on the running board,
and with a monkey wrench sought to
mend the whistle. He soon found
that this could not he done. Throw
ing care and fear to the winds, he
hung on TO the boiler, and every time
a road crossing was in sight turned
on the whistle with the wrench.
The train was late and the driver
pushed the machine to wonderful
pressure. She tore over the rails at
a rate of speed which averaged less
than a mile a minute. Not whit
daunted, the travelling engineer stuck
to his duty as the whistler for the
engine. At the end of the run, Mr..
Murray left the engine, and his only
remark anent the ride was that his
back was full OF cinders.
