RIVER NEWS

With the first sign of the June
freshes there will leave Pittsburg
tows of coal containing in the aggre-
gate twelve million bushels. This
amount of fuel is now loaded and is
strung along the river as far south
as Beaver. With few more rains
ike that of yesterday the freshet
would not be long in materializing.
The first tow boats that ran on
the Ohio river in the fifties were the
sidewheel towboat Condor, Little
Condor and Tornado. They towed
from Pomeroy. From Nilsson City
ran the Hero and the Lake Eric No.
s. From Syracuse ran the Yankee
and from Hartford City the Crescent
City. She was n sidewheel towboat.
The first towboat on the Great Kama
wha river was the Winifrede. She
was built at Pittsburg in 1856 or
1857. She belonged to the Wini-
frede Coal Co. The Kanawha was
the second towboat on Kanawha
river. She was built at Wheeling.
Capt. Gregory was pilot on the
Kanawha.
Col. John L. Vance, president of
the Ohio River Improvement Asso-
citation, says, that up to the present
II locks and dams have been or are
nearly completed between Pittsburs
and Cairo and Is more were to be
constructed for which an appropria-
ton had already been made, but ac-
cording to the chief U. S. engineers
report, considered one of the best
and most complete reports ever
made, it would take total of 81
locks and dams to give the river
stage of 9 feet between Pittsburg and
Cairo and that the Ohio Valley Inn
provement Association believes and
hopes that Congress will, at the next
session make an appropriation for
additional Is locks and dams before
the proper stage can be got. He
stated that there were sufficient
money in the river and harbor de-
partment of the government to de-
fray all expenses, and he had every
reason to believe that congress would
make the appropriation and then it
would, be only few years until the
'.on to Cairo movement would be
realization. Five of the best en-
gineers in the United States reported
to the government in 1907 that such
an appropriation should be made.
The towboat Monitor, which was
built at this place, passed down last
week with probably the largest wharf
boat ever seen here. 1t is eco feet
long, so feet wide, and is built en-
tirely of steel and iron. 1t was built
just below Pittsburg and is being Ia
ken to Memphis. 1t cost $40, 900.
The New Era" left the docks
Tuesday and was taken up the Ohio
by Capt. W. D. Holmes. This
showboat will go up the Muskingum
river, and later on will return and go
up the Kanawha to the head of navi-
CATION. She can not get up Kama
wha at this time on account of re-.
pairs being made on one of the locks.
