WILL NOT. OPEN THE
SEASON TILL June 2
Diamond 10 Reconsiders Plan to
Start Its Through Boats a Month
Earlier This Year.

Despite the fact that the Diamond
10 line had about determined to open
the upper river season nearly month
earlier this year, there will be no boat
between this city and st. Paul until
June 2, according to an announcement
made today. This change in the plan
is due to the bad weather lately. Sew
eral months ago it was thought that
the early season would be an unusual
ly good one because of the high stage
of the water, and while the river is
still way up, the rain and the cold
makes boating unpleasant, and the
company feels that there would be no
business until next month at any rate,
otherwise it would have put boat in
commission during the middle of May.
According to the plan now, the steam
er Quincy will open the upper river
business, making its first trip from St
Louis on June ., and leaving st. Paul
on the way down again on June g.
From that time on there will be a trip
every ninth day.

- Both for Tonight, With Same
Brand Tomorrow Night.

If you want cure for that gay
May day feeling just take a peep at
the assortment the weather nan has
handed up for tonight and tomorrow.

Can you beat it? High winds and

twice in the same place. Get that?
Do you think you would appreciate
a nice warm. sunny day if you ever
met up with another one?
There is only one consolation. 1t
may not be true. Possibly the wealth
CT department may err yet again.
Let us hope. if it all becomes a bit
ter reality, that troubles are being
ncaped upon us now that we may
dwell in joy and sunshine hereafter. .
in other words, that along about the
time for the Three-Eye baseball sea-
son to open we may be served with
the other brand and that it shall b.
