PHYSICAL VALUATION OF RAILROADS.

Physical valuation railroads in Wisconsin, as example, has not ruined the railroads, despite predictions and it is confidently asserted by pers that the valuation contemplated by the federal instead of disclosing facts discreditable to the companies, will do just the opposite.

The low stage Of the river below
Keokuk and above ST. Louis is caus-
ing steamboat companies considerable
worry and makes necessary the aban-
doning OF some through trips of the
liners of the Streckfus company, the
st. Paul and Quincy. The Quincy is
now at Hannibal unable to proceed
on her Journey north. The liner is held
at Hannibal because the Wabash is
repairing the bridge but will probably
not proceed farther north because OF
the low water. The St Paul Is due

cause Of the poor stage below here
was the opening and closing Of the
dam spillways. That the dam would
so influence the stage of the river
was denied by war department off,
cials Just recently. however, and 1t is
generally thought that It is merely
the low stage of water that comes at
this time Of the year. There has been
no complaint of this kind during the
summer by steamboat men.
The fine stage of water afforded on
the upper river by the dam is the de-
light of steamboat men, however,
enabling boats to make fast time and
run later in the season without fear
of low water.
