Two Canfains DID.

Two steamboatmen, well known in
the Paducah port, have answered the
last call. Captain n. Parker Pryor,
OF Louisville, and Captain William
Baxter. of st. Louis. There is an old
saying among river men and IL has
often proved true. that when two
river men die about the same time
there will be thffd river man IN a
short time to die.
Captain N Parker Pryor was one
of the best known steamboatment on
the Ohio river. He died at the Pope
Sanitorium, Louisville, after an i'll
ness of nine weeks with apoplexy.
Captain Pryor was AZ years of age
land had been running on the steam
boats that ply the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers since he was boy. Dur
ing his experience he had been cap
tain on the government boat Chero-
ikee and the tug Hanover, also pilot
on the Falls City, the Park City and
Major Slack. 1t was while taking
trip up the Kentucky river In Decem-
Der on the Major Slack that he was
stricken while at the wheel. Although
he fell over in great pain, Captain
Pryor managed to bring the boat to
landing and then an Investigation by
the engineer resulted in his being
found unconscious at the wheel.
Captain Pryor was a member of
family of well known river men and
has two surviving brothers, both of
whom are steamboat men.
Captain Noble Pryor, OF the Falls
City, the Kentucky river packet, is
seriously Ill at an infirmary in Phila-
delphia, while Michael Pryor, cap
tain of towboat, is suffering with
yellow jaundice at Frankfort, Ky.

Much personal work has been

TWO Goon MEASURES

Alderman Stewart mas introduced
two good measures this month: the
ordinance. regulating the storage OF
oil and gasoline in the city, and the
ordinance. providing for a street from
Broad to the Mayfield road. The
former will IL properly drawn. re-
lieve property from the menace OF
the Standard Oil tanks along the rail
road track in center of the city.
The street from the western term
fnus of Broad past the Union station
TO the Mayfield road, may not be
generally understood by those. who
have not made a personal inspection
OF the situation. II is part of that
general plan to connect all parts of
the city, OF which the extension of
Fountain avenue through to Guthrie
Is another.
II Is common knowledge that Pa
ducah is cut up with branches and
wide hollows, extending from the end
of Broad street just west Of Seventh
street. around east Of the station and

wishes to go TO the Union station, he
must foot 1t across the deep ravines
or ride in to Broadway and out by
another route. II any one OF the
thousands, who reside along Guthrie
avenue or out the Mayfeld road
wishes to get to the Union station
OF to Mechanicsburg or anywhere
south OF Broadway. he must risk his
life crossing the tracks at Tennessee
street, a horror which must be ex-
perienced to be appreciated. or ride
around by Nineteenth street to Broad
way.
Not only is the convenience of resi-
dents in that section are to be con-
sidered, but the benefit TO. the whole
city. 1t will make property more de-
sirable in those sections, more mar
ketable and Of greater value. That
is to the advantage of the city. 1t
will be started toward the eventual
filling up of the back water hollows
and their use for residence purposes,
and it Is always advantageous for a
city to be compactly built. Ease OF
access from any part OF a city to any
other promotes a well balanced de-
velopment, which is always desirable.
