Courier-Journal: II is a somewhat
singular fact that many of the fastest
boats that ever were in the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers were never built 10
be fast boats. and many that were
built TO be fast proved to be SLOW
boats. The first J. NJ. White was an
accident. She was never built for a
fast boat. but proved TO be the astest
steamboat ever built She was built al
Elizabeth by Walker and Ekin. Gen
Ekin wa the father of Capt. VIII
Ekin. Of the custom house in this city
and when Bonnie Bros. store was
burned on Main street. In this CRY
some time ago, the model Of the first
J. NJ white was destroyed by fire
The Atlantic was never built fo- fast
boat. but she made the quickest "a
hour run ever made on the Mississippi.
The Richmond was built fo- flyer
but she was a failure. Many boats that
have been built for fast ones that
we're failure ami many have been
built for business that proved TO be
fast-very fast. n Is a fact that two
boats may he built of the same dimen-
SION. and one will be tw.ce as fast a 2
the other This has proved TO be true
in the building Of ocean liners and
war vessel in the past and no one
can explain why this Is 80.

Need Of Paved Streets Is Emphasized
BY Rapid Increase In Num-
Der of Machines Owned
In Cairo,

The automobile fever has struck
Cairo as an epidemic. For several
years doctors and a few other promi-
nent citizens have had their motor
cars two or three being added to the
number each season, but the greatest
number to join the automobilists at
any one time is at The present
Seven well known citizens have pur.
chased cars or are about 10 do so, Al
bert Krarky who keeps the garage
at Eleventh street and Washington
avenue. having ordered the ma
chimes from an agency at Marion, H.
They are Ford machines, model n. To-
horsepower runabouts 1t is under
stood that Mr. kratky has ordered
ten of these machines which will be
shipped May 10th and that at least
seven have been already contracted
for with the possibility of several
others being added to the list The
purchasers are Fl. H. Halliday, Doug
lss Halliday, E. l.. Gilbert. Edward
Fitzgerald, Charles S Carey, John F..
Glynn and j. Solomon.
Mr.. H. II. Halliday will build a gar
age on his premises at Twenty-eighth
and Elm streets where his machine
and those of Messrs. Gilbert, Carey
and Douglas Halliday viii be shelf
cred.
With such an impetus in the motor
car line in Cairo the necessity OF
good streets will be all the more ap.
parent and it is hoped that enough
automobiles will be used IN Cairo TO
make the demand so strong for better
streets that there will be no delays
in the Improvements proposed in the
way Of paved streets.
