 Capt James A. Greer was for long time one of Cox, Brainard & Cos most efficient clerks, always with Captain Otis on the Cuba. His first venture was with the P. J. Kimball, us the opposition boat to the St. Charles. then commanded by his former commander. The Kimball did not have smooth sailing and soon re- tired; then Captain Greer secured sub- scriptions and undertook the building of the finest steamer that ever landed at Mobile-the James Battle. His intention was to have the cost figure in the neigh borhood of $75,00o but by alteration and change of plans it was nearer the s100, eco mark. There was some trouble about the rrice forthcoming and Capt. William F. James becoming dissatisfied with his CO., partnership with Cox, Brainard & Co.,, joined Greer and the most complete steamboat that ever ploughed these wa ters came around under their ownership.

one of the pilots and has often told the writer and always contended that tho James Battle was by far the fastest steamer that Mobile ever knew It once left Bridgeport at 12 o'clock noon and reached Montgomery next morning at o oclock--14 hours and all business transacted. Col. H. H. Hayes, of our county, was a passenger on that trip and has often recalled the. run---14 hours and 175 miles covered up stream IS l23a miles per hour and when we remember that the matchless Robert E Lee in it's celebrated race against the Natchez only made fraction over II miles per hour. we can then realize this wonderful speed Not for one moment did the engines stop in that wonderful trip and the Battle made all stops.
 The steamer Cuba. in making two trips per week between Mobile and Mont eomery, carrying passengers only and stopping at the most important landings, never excelled this feat. When we consider that this record was made in the upper end of the creek, where the current is swiftest and the bends most sharp, who can doubt but that this elegant floating palace could have covered the 415 miles separating Montgomery from Mobile in 3S hours, even with a goodly number of landings to be made: for the Battles speed be- tween landings up stream, was esti-
 mated by Captain Bonham at 13% miles per hour-which would carry 1t tho distance above given in 30 hours.

DRAGGING The

Engineer, Says $l,OOO.OOO

DECLARES DREDGING
MOVES SLOWLY

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. l2.-Why is
the work ON the 35-foot channel in the
Delaware river tagging bchndg Where
can the responsibility be placedg Is it
the government or the contractors that
hinder the work.
These questions We're answered by
Colonel Inn. United States engineer in
charge of the work here. by the sweep
ing declaration that the meager appro-
priaticns given by Congress really me
responsible
lie elaborated on this 10y saying:
I'VE begin the project with 81 l00OOOO
from the government nd find it viii be
necessary to parcel the work out in
couple of small contracts. It is only
natural that the contractors will not
take any chances with such small CON
tracts in erecting great plants. Il would
be business suicide to put up a S200.0OO
plant with a S25O,OOO contract. The
contractor has no guarantee that he will
continue to receive contractors from
year 10 year He does not even know
whether or not the government viii
make an appropriation the next sue
ceednc year. II the government does
not the contractor is left stranded with
n s2lO.OOO plant on his hands,
Dredging Moves Slowly.
This receiving of appropriations in
small bids was held responsible by Col
onel Iinn for the, scarcity OF dredges
working ia the river and the slow pace
OF the work
lie sharply condemned the attitude
of Congress in this matter, saying that
in all probability much greater sum
would be appropriated for the Mississ
ippi river. where commerce was not
nearly SO heavy as ON the Delaware. lie
declared that such a paltry sum as 81.
600 900 wear for an Sll 100000 project
to be completed in six years was alb
surd.
The conditions are such that it is
very difficult matter for the contractors
to keep up the pace of the work called
I for i'm the specifications in the contract
according to Colonel Zinn. The spcci-
fcations arc made as light and easy az
possiblc but this does not radically
improve the situation. Inexpensive
plants are set up and few dredges set
to work. with the result that the work
only drags ON.
One contracting company, the Allan.
itic Dredging Company, Is long way
lbehind the amount of work it should
have accomplished in order to meet thc
speciications OF its contracts. Its bid
was comparatively high, nearly l3 cents
a cubic ward. About l25 600 cubic yards
a month are called for in the spectica
tions and vet nothing near this amount
of work is accomplished. The company
has been warned by Colonel Zinn rpeat
edlv and has promised TO do its best
TO increase the number of dredges work
ing It now has two dredges at work.
There are now four contractors doing
work i'm the river and only IA dredges
Colonel Zinn thinks that if Congress
would make a solid appropriation OF
So. .OOO. 600 the rate of the work dSne
would be doubled.
