RIVER IS FOR BOATS
Northw estern Miller Believes in Water
Transportation Wherever Practicable.

Commenting at length on the resump-
ton Of traffic on the Missouri river
between st. Louis and Kansas City,
after a lapse Of ten years, the North
western Miller draws attention to the
fact that the steamer Lora, which made
the trip in September, demonstrated
that the lower Missouri river is naviga-
pie for as many boats and barges as
instrumental in opening the river be-
heve that no matter what the position
Of the railways, the river should always
be available. -" i" Il. ~, .,'-3;1
'sSo. long as the Mississippi and the
Missouri flow unladen past the fields
of wheat and corn to the ocean, says
the Miller in part, "there is waste. The
rehabilitation Of river traffic is to be
desired, as it effects economy in the dis
lance measured by cost between the
place of production and the manket
and hence has well-defned place in
the keenness Of modern business. Trans
portation cannot, in the rapid move
ment of things nowadays, be dismissed
