1t is interesting to watch the steam
boats load and unload grain. All Gle
vators along the river are built with
a chute through which the grain pass
es onto the boat. 1t takes only q cou'
pie of hours to load a boat in this
manner. At the Washburn harbor 9
large belt with cups attached carries
the grain from the boat to the eleva'
tor and the boats are unloaded In
about as short a time as loaded. The
steamboats, will handle thousands Of
bushels of grain before the season
closes, and the elevators will run
night and day. .
