First Steps Taken Toward Rehabili
tatng Mississippi River Traffic.
ST. Paul, July 2.-The first serious
steps in many years toward restoring
to the Upper Mississippi river the VOL
ume of traffic experts believe it should
carry are embodied in conferences now
in progress between leading Minnesota
millers and river men, which it is be-
lioved viii result in harging an i'm
menSe amount Of -four hereafter from
the head of navigation at ST. Paul thru
10 sal water q New orleans.
From S. Paul to Atlantic tidewater
the flour rate is % cents. Little eN-
cept a slight lake differential can be
saved by forwarding via the head of
the great lakes and Buffalo.
"FromAst. Paul We believe we can
barge -four to New Orleans or upper
Ohio river points alike for IL cents
said a representative of the millers.
This is a clear saving of cents a
hundred. and in addition we are conf
dent that this traffic can be maintained
on a schedule OF twenty days for the
down river trip to New Orleans. ten
days TO St Louis. and twenty days or
possibly slightly less to the upper Ohio.
From present indications 1 think we
Mill send down the first string of
barges before the close of the present
navigation season"
The millers point OUT that an espe-
cial advantage of exporting via New
Orleans viii be that on cargoes de-
stined to South American or Mexican
points or for the isthmus. the cost of
tl>ans-shipment al New Orleans will
be less than from all the rail or lake
