Unless the most careful and most
conservative calculations count for
naught, the year of 1910 will be one
Of the greatest in the history Of
Hickman. This optomistic view is
based upon things in sight-upon in
dustrial and commercial activities
which have already received an i'm
petus sufficient to warrant a sure
contamination.
Not least, but probably least mag
nified, is the waterways improve
ments which will be made by the
Mississippi Valley Transportation Co.
This company has prepared the fol-
lowing estimate Of the cost Of install
ing terminals and a fleet of barges
on the Lower Mississippi River, be-
tween st. Louis and New Orleans.
This estimate is based upon the use
only OF the first quarter Of the CAPT
tai stock Of the company, amounting
10 s2,50O,000, out of the total Of $l0,-
900. 900 with which the company is
capitalized. The raising of the ad-
ditional money will continue as rapid
ly as possible, and the company will,
as this money is received. extend its
service into the several tributaries
and TO the upper rivers.
The present plans recognize the i'm
portance of the earliest possible con-
nection between the port of the Mis-
sississippi. New Orleans, and the
metropolis of the Valley. St. Louis.
They are based on a tonnage which
Is in many instances, assured, and
the remainder of which is sufficient
ly certain for the estimates To be
based on it. The aim OF this ser
vice is TO give the greatest possible
convenience to ali the cities In the
Valley between st. Louis and New
