Now Being Overhauled at Local Boat
HarbOr-Cruise Is Planned for

The steamers Wenona and Columbia
of the White Collar line have been
placed in the Davenport harbor for the
winter The Helen Blair, however,
will continue in the Burlington SER
vice until about November rs. The
Columbia is now being thoroughly
overhauled and painted and although
it has been announced that it viii not
enter the river service again this year
it is understood that there is strong
probability of its replacing the Helen
Blair in a week or two inasmuch as it
will be large enough to continue the
Burlington service since the passenger
traffic has decreased due to approach
ing cold weather. -.
According to present plans the
Morning Star will run an excursion
from the tri-cities to st. Louis just be-
fore Il starts out on its cruise on the

gin early in october and from the large
number of inquiries being received
there Will undoubtedly be a very large
