Alarm by Bankers.

White Plains. N. Y. July 22.-The
Westchester County Bankers associa-
ton believes that the people of the
United States are automobile crazy
and that the bankers of the country
ought to intervene to save their clients
from this madness. At their annual
convention held here this week the as
ISOLATION passed resolutions asking its
members to scrutinize carefully the ap-
plications of those who want to bor-
row money on notes for the purchase
of automobiles. The banks are to use
extreme caution in discounting such
paper.
The bankers declared that hundreds
of persons have put themselves in peril
of bankruptcy during the past six
months by mortgaging their homes or
hypothecating valuable securities to
buy machines.

OLD TIME MISSISSIPPI
METHODS OUT OF DATE.
Captain Formerly Waded to Locate
Elusive Channel.

Steamboatmen who have been con-
tending with low water in the upper
Mississippi river should consult with
the more ancient mariners in the Mis-
sissippi for pointers on the movement
Of boats on low water and then start
out TO restore navigation on the
stream.
Captain William Kelly. secretary of
the Mississippi aud Ohio River Pilots
society. says this is the first season
since 1856 to his personal knowledge
that steamboats, have ceased to run
during the open season.
In the summer of 1856. Captain Kel-
ly says. he was plotting the steamer
Stella Whipple when the water was
four inches lower than this years rec
ord. The boat was towing two barges
as lighters coming down the stream,
but got stuck on the crossing at Rob
inson's rocks. fourteen miles below st.
Paul.
Captain Kelly says he waded into
the river ahead of the boat to locate
the best place to drop the anchor and
pull the boat over the bar. The water
was sixteen inches deep, and the best
channel was located by wading. and
Captain Kelly returned to the boat
without wetting stitch of his cloth
ing.
The method Of pulling the boats
over shoal crossings was to carry the
anchor out in a yawl ahead Of the
steamer, drop it to the bottom of the
river and pull the boat over by a line
attached to the anchor and to the cap
stan on the boat.
When all was ready the passengers
were transferred to the barges to light
en- the boat. The run was then made
without difficulty till the next crossing
was reached. when the anchor and
capstan process of pulling the boat
over might be repeated.
