RIVER RIPPLES.
Coal Fleets at the Pumpkin Patch
Having a Serious Tim e of il.

For two months past the steamboats,
either on account of the ice or low wa
ter, have been unable to navigate the
Ohio river, and In that time the little
towns along the river have neither
received nor shipped freight. The
farm products have piled up on the
wharves. Hundreds of tons of hay.
thous auds of bushels of wheat, corn,
potatoes and other crops have been
stacked up to rot, while the owners
waited for an opportunity to ship
their products to market.
The loss to the farmers is sufficient
to put them heavily in debt, and the
stagnation of traffic has had a CORE
spending effect on business OF the
merchants OF the towns.
Dispatches from Ohio river points
indicate new Ice forming while the
gorges between Evansville and Louis
vile were already firm and also those
between Madison and Cincinnati.
The same conditions exist for seventy
miles above Cincinnati where the
gorges are almost continuous, and at
some places icebergs thirty and forty
feet high exist.
While there has been colder winters,
the Ohio river was never frozen over
for so long a period before. This Is
due to the low stage of the water.
The coal meh have not had as much
trouble with the Ice for the past ten
years. AS fast as the danger from
one gorge was safely passed, the
weather has turned cold, and all the
work of tying mp the coal fleet safely
has had to be gone through with
again. There has hardly been a night
during the past two months on which
II has not been necessary to keep an
extra force of men on duty at the
Pumpkin Patch" near Louisville,
to guard against probable accidents.
Between Madison Pittsburg the
river Is almost solid mass OF ice. In
some places. where 1t has gorged, the
icebergs are thirty and forty feet
high.

went into the yard, but the bird was
not frightened and allowed them to
approach quite close.

Votes Show Popularity.

Election returns are true measures
Of mans personal or political popu-
larity. In districts where all elements
Of society are resident the canvass
shows the esteem in which candidates
are held. The Eleventh congressional
district of New York is typical, rep
resentative cosmopolitan community
Within it's boundaries is part Of the
west side, whose residents work hard;
part of Fifth avenue, where wealth
and ease abound, and part Of the
Broadway business section.
This is the district that elected Will
liam Randolph Hearst as it's represent
ative in congress by the largest major
ity ever given to representative in
Greater New York. The figures are
interesting. Representative Hearst re-
ceived 26,953 votes, 1912 more than
his Republican opponent. The same
percentage given to Bird s. Coler, the
candidate for governor on the same
ticket, would have elected Demo
cratic governor Of the Empire state.
Mr.. Hearst's majority was 5000 great
er than Mayor McClellan's one year
later, and the same precincts gave Mr..
Hearst 5000 more votes than Judge
Alton B. Parker received, and the lat
ter had the advantage in that the Re-
publicans did not nominate any one
against him.
