territory more favorable to George u.

press of the district is known to favor
him, and if the counties from south
western Iowa send Perkins delegates to
the state convention 1t will not be sur

that no gubernatorial candidates have

RIVER TRADE INCREASING.

creased steadily for many years. but the
upward movement has begun since 1895.

The shipments by river from ST Louis
We're 572, 40 tons in 1886 496. 1866 in 1897,
3sg,5s3 in 1898. and 203,205 in 1899. Then
E the upward turn came. In 1900 the re-
ceipts of merchandise of the various
sorts at ST. Louis amounted to 512.0lO
tons. This was an increase OF 5,400
tons over 1899. The amount OF freight
shipped from st. Louis in 1900 by river
4 was 245, $50 tons-an excess over 1899 of
42,375 tons. The gain in the year looks
small. but the fact that there was a
gain at all is encouraging. Very few
persons in ST. Louis expected any in
crease, however slight 1t was assumed
that the decrease in river traffic which
has been under way for years. would
continue until 1t had reached a consid-
erably lower total than wac touched
even in 1899. The figures for 1900 which
are given will encourage the hope that
