Passengers on steamers In and
out of Keokuk Sunday noticed that
the daring sport of riding the waves
OF the steamboats, has taken strong
hold on motorboat enthusiasts. Many
motorboats will make desperate ef-
forts to get to the steamboats, simply
for the purpose OF riding the waves.
Many people In row boats also try
this. The sport may be exciting but
It is very dangerous.
Steamboats, can now pass by Han
nibal without trouble, the change Of
the two spans at the Hannibal bridge
having been made. The Dubuque was
the first large steamer to pass
through. The change OF the two spans
was difficult work and cost about
$4,000. The change was necessi-
tated by the Flying Eagle hitting one
OF the piers several years ago and aft
er the change was ordered by the gov
eminent the case was carried to the
supreme court by the Wabash raj.
