CAPT. w. A. JOYCE EXPECTS
REVIVAL OF RIVER TRADE

According to Captain W. A. Joyce of
Memphis. treasurer of Jackson County,
Tennessee, and well known in river circles,
the future Of the Mississippi as highway
for traffic is most promising. and present
indications lead him to predict a revival in
the varying trade of the river.
Captain Joyce arrived in the city on a
business trip Monday and Is now stop
ping with his daughter. Mrs. Hunserford,
at No. 1854 Olive street. He is well known
in this city, where he was married in 1866
He was Captain on the river until he as
sumed the managership of a line Of steam
iting old friends along the river front and
at the NJ. & o. River Pilots Society, Of
which he Is a members.
IN the old days the river front at st.
LOUIS was a sight worth going a long way
to see," said The Captain. land what Is
was then scene OF the greatest activity.
You have often heard how the Levee could
hardly be seen OIL account or the piles OF
freight waiting for shipment. and numerous
lines of boats extending along the river
front for blocks.
II believe that the river will again be-
come a center Of traffic before very long.
Lines of boats have been started down
the White River. and they have done won
derfully well. Traffic is steadily on the in
crease. The success Of the barge lines has
caused the eye OF capital to rest. on the
river as q .aeans of transportation and
business OF this sort may be looked for in
the near future. I think. moreover. that
some line steamers will be built soon."
! Captain Joyce served as Captain on the
Fanatatum and other boats running to St.
Louis in the early days. and commenced his
river career on the Agnes. owned by Cap
tain Scott. and on the ]. S. McCune. owned
