PRESCOTT FIRST BOAT
TO BRAVE ICY STREAM

y number of Rock Island people
late yesterday afternoon had the I'M
usual experience Of seeing the Mis-
sissippi, while covered with u foot and
half OF ice, navigated by Il steam
boat. The ice near the shore in front
of the city never gets very strong on
account of the waste from the sewers
and the warm weather of the past
week or more has opened the breach
between the shore and the foe to Il
width of several rods in some places.
The Prescott, which belongs to the
Peoples Power company, has been ly-
ing at the Wcycrhauescr d. Denkmann
yard all winter. As the boat needed
some repairs il was rendered dcsira-
bic to take il up i'm the slough, where
il could be drydockcd. and Capt. Tom

do the work, yesterday concluded that
with little work an opening could

usual voyage. The whistle brought
