RIVER TRAFFIC CLOSED.
All the Boats on the Upper River Have
Finished the Season.

E i j . 1 ~ = A
Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, Nov. 28-The last boat
to Law I'D on this part of the river was
the Silver Crescent, which made her
last trip to Muscatine Friday return
ing to Davenport Saturday and then
going direct to the Rock Island boat
ward. where she will be completely
overhauled and rebuilt.
The boating season was very good
this year, with the exception OF the
rafting business, which was not as
good this year as 1t should have been,
the direct cause being given as the
transportation Of logs by rail. AS the
river season for this year has now
closed, the rivermen are turning their
eyes to the coming season, and &C
cording to their statements there IS a
bright future for the Mississippi river
men next summer.
Ex-Governor S. r. Van SAINT waa
asked recently his opinion as to
whether the northern boats that have
been purchased and taken south
would be replaced and he answered.:
Eyes. by all means. Business on the
upper river next summer will be as
good IL not better than it was this
season. The rafting business was not
up to the standard this year, however
The transportation Of logs by rail was
in q measure responsible for this
slump in business"
When he was asked what he thought
Of the future Of the Mississippi river
he said:
ut has great future. As countries
become densely populated more at
tention is paid to waterways. This is
seen in France. Since the Franco
Prussian war, the former country has
spent on her rivers, harbors and can
ais some Ss00,OO0,0O0 and it is money
we'll spent The state of New York
contemplates the expenditure Of $780,
100000 for the purpose of deepening
and widening the Erie canal.
."The Mississippi and its tributaries
have some 100000 miles of navig'
able waters. Some idea Of this i'm
portant feature of water transporta-
ton can be formed when you consider
that this is equal to four times the
distance from New York to San Fra..-
cisco. This river and these tributar-
| les draw from q section containing
| 1.250, 600 square miles Of our terri
tory.
practically ever since the Revolu-
tionary war we have doubled our
population every twenty-five years. 1t
| is therefore safe to say in quarter OF
a century that we will have 100000
900 Of people The most important
question now is the transportation
problem. If we are wise we will
| bufld for the future. It is the art OF
| wisdom to be prepared and the Mis-
sissippi's channel should be deepen
| ed.
The amount asked for by the Upper
Mississippi River Improvement Assoc
citation will give US a six-foot stage In
! low water to ST. Louis. If we have
/ this you can see the possibilities OF
traffic on the Father of Waters when
| the Panama canal is constructed. Not
| only a vast traffic will be carried on,
but the river will then be the great
est conservator of freight rates. The
old river has great future"
