Concerning the improvement of
The Big Sandy river the Cincinnati
Enquirer says
''Not only is Cincinnati developing
into a great coal market, but 1t is
also becoming great factor in the
coke trade of the country, and this
line of fuel has greatly increased dur
ing the past three years. Coke is
now furnished from here to terri
tories that few years ago never
thought of coming to this city for
that class of fuel.
When the Big Sandy river is locked
and damned it will mean still cheap
err coal for this city, and can state
that it will mean the bringing here
the best coal in the world at the
cheapest price to any city of its size
in the United States. The work on
this river is now being carried on
by the government, and will be COM
pleted in about five years"
