ON THE RIVERS
Earning Capacity Of Big Tow Boats
Set Forth In Detail-About
$4,000 Per Trip.

The Pittshurg Post says, The big
tow boat Joe B, Williams still one
of the best on the rivers, was once
sold at auction sale to the lutte inte--
ests for s25, 400 A deposit of So 00e
cagh was made and the rest of the
payment was made by notes dis
counted by local banks the notes hay
ing eight months to rum Beteween
the time that the Joe b. Williams
was bought and the time the notes be
came due the tow boat had been so
favored in Ger work thai her owners
netted $50, 600, or more than she cost
eight months before Some riyermen
were discussing recently how long
would take the Sprague. said to lie
the most powerful tow boat on inland
water a present, often referred TO as
the s250.000 steel beauty Of the Ne
nnongahela River Consolidated Coal
and Coke Company, to pay for itself
The great earning power of the boat
is thus figured out: AT Louisville 81
awaiting the arrival of the SpragHe a
tow of sixty coal boats, the largest
tow ever htched to one to wheat,
and four coal boats larger than the
Sprague has ever handled before In
each Of these coal boats are over .
600 bushels of coal. Coal operators
figure on cents bushel as The tariff
for towing coal from Louisville toD
New Orleans The Sprague will there
fore earn al least $500 for towing each
coal boat, or 100000 for towing the en-,
lire tow to New Orleans, and as the
coal boats hold over $4,000 bushels
each, the earning power of the tow
boat might reach S33 900, or even S25,-
600 for the down trip. On the return
trip the Sprague will bring back sixty |
empties and coal operators figure
5000 each for the towing of each |
empty from New Orleans to Louis |
vile. Thus the Sprague would earn |
$4,000 n her return trip. or from |
$4,000 to s53 600 for a single roung

DOES OLOR|EVE
RIDE OR WALK
EVANSVILLE COURIER SAYS HE
ARRIVED THERE FRIDAY IN
A SklFF.
HE DENIES THE STORY
That He Travelled Many Miles Down
the River to Evansville In
Launch.

Prof. Chas. W Ollrieye. who
claims to be walking the surface OF
the Ohio river from Cincinnati TO New
Orleans. and who is expected to ar
rive in Cairo mex Wednesday, went
into Evansville at $50 Friday even
Ing IN a skiff
The Evansville Courier says; Old
rieye left NewbWg yesterday after
noon at $50 and walked as far down
the river as Three Mile Island, about
a mile and half below Newburg and
out Of sight of the town. There, if the
statements of a party who We're
watching him from a launch are to be
believed, he clambored aboard the
launch Rover which accompanies
him and safely ensconsed on the cush-
ions rode the entire distance to
Manns Light. TWO miles above this
city where he again dIopped off the
launch and attempted 10 finish the
distance into port in his cedar shoes.
He was unsuccessful. however, and
when near the water works pumping
station clamored aboard he skif in
which his wife was accompanying
him and finished the trip to the local
wharf The launch Rover had pre-
ceeded him from Mann's Light and
was already tied TIP just above the
wharfhoat when ne came in.
They Watched Him.
Determined to find out whether or
not the professor" really walked the
river while between towns, Frank
Staser, George Hau2ll and Sam John
son, all reliable and honest young
men living near stasers station went
over to Three Nile Island shortly
after dinner and awaited for the APP
preach Of the professor. When he
left Newburg the professor walked
the water at the rate OF about four or
five miles an hour until almos. oppo-
site Three Mile Island where he APP
parently became exhausted or &C.
eording to the young men who were

headed up stream bearing three well
known Evansville citizens, members
Of he Evansville Boat club and all
thoroughly reliable men who had
gone up the river to meet Prof Old
rieye and accompany him down TO the
local p0rJ. One of the party who was
on the boat said last night that when
