DIAMOND 10 co.
MET BIG LOSS
Receipts for Past Season Were About
$4,000 Short of What They
Have Been Previously.

1t is estimated that adverse condi-
lions encountered by all steamboat
companies operating their boats on the
Mississippi river during the past
season, cost the Diamond 10 company
alone in round numbers about $4,000
in receipts.
The Diamond 10 company operates
boats in both the passenger and
freight business between st. Paul and
st. Louis. For several months during
the past season it was impossible to
make the scheduled trips, owing to
the low stage of the river, which
played havoc in a financial way with
nearly all of the companies. The
Diamond 10 agents say that 1t is easy
to figure out this big loss.
