Craft 10 Experiment..

Built for coal-carrying IN lakes
sound and canal, she is an experiment
on the river, and there are, admitted
ly. changes that would be made IN a
line of power barges. Perhaps they
would have two engine units OF 10
horsepower each instead of 70; ana
undoubtedly these barges would have
special cargo moving equipment LOT
special types of cargo.
And this experiment has already
proven, what all men have agreed up
on already, that what Is needed more
than all else, are terminals at the
towns and freight handling facilities
at the mills and factories that expect
to use the river.

the following log Of the trip is taken
from the Item:

Loaded with 100000 feet Of Louisi'
