American Locomotive Company at

STEAMBOAT REVIVAL
MISSISSIPPI CRAFT IN FAVOR

River Captain Would Have Steamboat
Lines Court Passenger Business
Thinks the River Will Eventually
Be Covered With Fine Boats.
A well known river man, Captain u.
r. Powell, makes some valuable sug-
gestions on reviving the passenger
business on the Mississippi river. He
advises a thorough undermining OF ar
rangements for passengers. He wouid
enlarge the staterooms and have din
ing room apart from the sitting room.
with meals at all hours. and prices ac-
cording to what is ordered on the rest
aurant plan Fares should include only
the cost of transportation and Derths-
leaving the passenger to decide Tor
himself as to meals. This system is in
operation on the big lake steamers and
gives entire satisfaction. While ocean
passengers pay lump sum, they have
all the comforts of first-class hotei
and get sufficiently roomy quarters TO
be at ease.
On the western rivers the passengers
accommodations are on the plans OF
forty years ago, and on smaller scale
of luxury and animation, as a result OF
a reduced tide of travel.
The Mississippi river. in its northern
and southern courses. is well adapted
to both winter and summer travel. 1t
would be delightful winter highway
to New Orleans, Florida and the West
Indies. If the passenger could command
the same facilities afforded on the lakes
or by the Atlantic liners. or course,
the lake and ocean vessels are much
larger than is now practicable on the
river. But this is only another reason
for the deepening of the channel of the
Mississippi and improving 1t generally.
When seven feet was the limit in the
shallow places and ports on the lakes,
the boats were small. and travel upon
them unattractive. But with channel
of twenty feet or more the passenger
business has bounded up enormously.
because the ships have become swift
and literally managed floating hotels.
Their big dining rooms vie with the
best. Passengers patronize them or
not, as they like, and to an extent suit
themselves. The Mississippi will be
covered with fine, large boats some
day, but there must be a waking up
before it can happen.-St. Louis Globe
