believed generally that the controll-
ing factor In the vanishing OF shipping
from the Ohio has not bee ma lack of
tonnage for steamboats,, but a stran-
Gle hold on the river shipping by rail-
roads desiring an end of competition
freight and passengers. If this Is true
the United States Government might
take up, fruitfully, an investigation of
The why's and wherefores of the sill
ence of the reaches Of the Ohio which
once acheoed the song Of the rousta-
bouts and the sound Of the engines of
laden slde-wheelers.
At time when there is cry of car
shortage and campaign in behalf Of
economical loading for the conserya-
ton Of car space, the Ohio is almost
as bare Of craft as 1t was in the days
of Dan'l Boone, when an occasional
war party of painted savages in can
oes, and an occasional family dugout,
with squaw and papooses in one
end and bucq with paddle in the
other, were the only causes Of ripples
between its wooded shores.
Is the time approaching when the
service of the Ohio will be worth less
than the cost of canal and lock attend
ants to a Government which has de-
voted princely fortune to its de-
velopment? Will the little neighbor-
hood "benzine boats" whose Captains
carry the pigs aboard, be at last the
orly boats upon one of the greatest
natural waterways in America?

ExTINGUIsH|NG The OHIO
River Should Be Bearing More
Freight Than Tonnage Of
SueZ Canal.

The Ohio River, beginning its
course at Pittsburg, 1000 feet above
sea level, and providing in its present
state of development unilnpeded pas
sage for freight in large steamer from
Pennsylvania to the Gulf of Mexico,
through the Mississippi, is in itself
nearly 1000 miles long, it and it's trib-
utaries measure about 2,S00 navigable
miles, They form the natural down
stream outlet for freight originating
in a basin whose area is 2l4,000
square miles. Many millions of dol
lars have been spent to lock and dam
and canalize the Ohio and its afflu-
ents. They should be bearing more
freight than the onnage of the Suez
Canal, yet we are witnessing their
apparent estinguishment
1t seems that combinations Of capt.
tai, and not Of circumstances, have
diverted to the railroads freight orig
mating in the territory of the Ohio
and freight destined for points within
its territory. Coal, which should be
shipped upon the Ohio from Pitts
burg at rates low enough to make the
South profitable market for Penn
sylvania mines, has been coming
down in dwindling quantities until, at
time when the rivers bosom should
be black with coal fleets, few barges
in the tow of battered tug excite
comment.
The larger passenger steamers be-
tween Louisville and Cincinnati were
laid up some time ago upon the
ground that the cost Of fuel made
their trips improbable. The smaller
steamers which have supplanted them
cater with inadequate service and few
attractions to small and uncertain
patronage.
The sale of the old Tarascon, Of the
Louisville and Evansville packet line,
to Memphis cotton brokers for use on
the Mississippi, removes from the
Chic the largest of the remaining pas
senger and freight steamers between
Cincinnati and Cairo. There are no
modern well-equipped passenger
steamers upon the entire length of the
Ohio. It is reported currently and
