Capt. John Moren, general manager
Of the freight department of the No
nongahela River Consolidated Coal
company, who underwent a surgical
operation few weeks ago, is getting
along as well as could be expected,
and it is thought will soon be able to
be around again.
There will be no packets running
directly between Louisville and New
Orleans during the fall, winter and
spring seasons, as heretofore. Capt.
Bob Wise says; 1.-THE freight business
will not sustain line boat in the
trade. Every year new customers
have TO be found. When the water
gets low that trade goes back to the
railroads, and then it is hard to wean
them away. IL is less than twenty
years ago that there were at least
three steamers a week out of Cincin-
natl for New Orleans. At one time
the Southern Transportation Co. had
thirteen boats in the New Orleans
trade. They had all the business they
could handle. II the river is i'm
proved, as promised, the trade will
revive and the glories of the river be
restored"
The recent successful run of coal out
of the Kanawha to Cincinnati was
made by holding back the water in the
getting the towboats and |
their tows in shape and waiting for a
rise in the Ohio to come from above
the mouth of the Kanawha. Soon as
the Ohio river rise reached its height
at the mouth of the Kanawha the locks
were opened in the Ksnswha, the &C
cumulated water in that river was let
loose upon the rise in the Ohio, and all |
the towboats, with their fleets, were
let out of the Ksnawha to come to
Cincinnati in perfect safety on the
double rise. One million, two humid
red and fifty thousand bushels of coal
went out of the Kanawha ION the
swell" and is now at Cincinnati. All
