Uses River for Moving.

~ . /.
The Atlas Cement Co., which has a
big plant at Hannibal. Mo-, uses the
river to move its product in barges
between that points and other Mis-
sissippi landings. Both this company
and the Standard are mighty well sat
isfied with the investment they have
made in tow boats and barges and
are charging their fleets from year to
year.
In addition to these two concerns.
the Barrett line. with headquarters at
Cincinnati, does general freight
business on the Ohio and lower Mis-
sissippi, operating four tow boats and
| a fleet of modern steel barges. The
oil and cement companies have their
own terminals and handling equip
| ment, but the Barrett line seems to
get along with the present lack OF
convenience
It Is not reasonable to suppose that
these companies are operating
through any sentiment connected with
the use OF the river They are barg.
] ing on the Mississippi for no other
reason than that it pays.
/ In this connection, reference mus,
be made to the coal combine which
operates the "Sprague," the biggest
and most powerful tow boat on either
the Ohio or the Mississippi. The boat
makes regular trips from the Goa
fields OF the Ohio to New Orleans
| during the season of high water, with
$4,000 tons of coal in one tow. Up
stream, she pushes forty empty barges
!! and makes pretty fair time at that

Usefulness W. Vaudeville,
Modern steel barges would have no
particular advantage over these riv-
er steamers Of the Steel City type
with terminals in their present stats
OF non-existence. AS q matter OF fact.
they would operate under handicaps
which the steamboat is better able to
overcome. But with terminal wall
or dock. even OF the smallest. and
handling machinery, even OF the
simplest, the steel barge would come
into its own.
The only advantage that black
roustabouts possess over modern
freight handling machinery seems to
lie In the fact that on combination
passenger and cargo boat of this type,
they provide continuous vaudeville
entertainment for the passengers.
When they are not moving freight at
river landings-and these periods Of
activity are few and far between =
they sing and dance and shoot craps |
and fight for nickles and pennies
thrown to them from the upper deck.
Most of them are adopts in close har-
mony and the least suggestion is
enough to start them off on their en-
tire repertoire of old time steamboat
songs.
All of this is interesting and pc
turesque and quite reminiscent OF the
happy.go-!ucky spirit OF other Missis-
sippi days. but it isn't an element IN
tie solution of the present day prob
lem OF the great river The black
roustabout, as a piece of freight hand
ling machinery. is as dead as the Do
do.

Il seems absurd whS9 one realizes
that in the days when steamboattns

Mumford. one OF Mark tTwain's steam
boat friends, the master OF river
craft for thirty years, expressed the
folly OF the situation lie this:
when there used to be 1900 steam
boats and 10000 Acreaaof coal barges
and RATS and trading Scows, there
wasn't a lantern from St Paul to
New Orleans and the snags were
thicker than bristles on hogs back;
and now when there's three dozen
steamboats, and nary q barge or raft.
the government has snatched nut all
the snags and lit up the shores like
Broadway and boats as safe as
she'd be in heaven. And / reckonthat
by the time there amt any boats left
at all, the government will have the
old thing all reorganized and dredged
out and fenced in and tfdied up to a
degree that win make navigation just
simply perfect and absolutely safe
and profitable
The day predicted by Uncle Mum
ford is here. All river men say that
as a result Of government work. tbs
navigation Of the Mississippi, both up
per and lower, Is becoming more
simple and more safe, year by year,
and that when the channel work has
been completed, there won't be day
during the open season OF navigation
on the upper river and all the year
round on the lower stretches OF the
stream, when Thousand ton cargoes,
operated IS units or in groups, pow
cred. or under tow, cannot be carried
between New Orleans and Mime
apolis with reasonable speed and en-
tire safety.
