CO.0PERATION
OF MaysvIlle Buslness Men In Pro.
posed Steamboat Corporation Is
Asked by Prominent Hunt.
lngtOn Business Men.


In speaking OF the proposed new
boat line to operate .on the Ohio riv-
er, Mr.. II. r. Wyllie. president of the
II. r. wyllie China Company, of
Huntington, W. Va, in a letter to the
Maysville Chamber OF Commerce,
says In part:
"The plan Is to organize company
with sufficient capital to operate a
line Of freight boats, thereby securing
better service in the way OF transpor-
tation than is to be had at the pres
ent time from the railroads, which
are now very badly congested, with
prospects Of the condition being still
worse. The Idea Of line Of freight
boats is to relieve this situation.
"At the solicitation of the cities
and towns on the Ohio river, the gov
eminent has spent immense sums of
money on the locks and dam system
now built and under construction, and
II is not only patriotic and reasonable
that we should take advantage of the
excellent shipping facilities afforded
Ly the Ohio river. The business men
Of Huntington are interested because
1t takes from two to three weeks to
get freight shipment out Of Cincin-
nati and at least four weeks out OF
Pittsburg, and all shipments In the
Wheeling district via rail in this di.
reotion are embargoed. The advaI.-
tage of good line of boats would be
that we would get quick and efficient
service. The plan is to form a com.
pany with sufficient capital to owr
and operate a line Of freight boats
on the Ohio river, with view of tht
company owning its own wharfboats
or terminals, and possibly with a mo
tor-truck delivery system to be oper
ated by the wharfmaster, so that riv
er shipments would be delivered di
rect to your place of business. Their
is no question but that river ship
ments are cheaper than rail, and al
Organization Of this kind would be o
great benefit to the Ohio Valley,
THE plan Is to have the stock o
the company widely distributing al
loting to each town along the river
certain amount of stock to be pur
chased by its shippers, based upol
the approximate tonnage that eacl
town would furnfSh. BY having
Urge number of stockholders inter
ested in the company TALL of whom
being shippers) cooperative ar
rangement will be effected that will
insure to the advantage of all con
cerned.
Would like for you to put this mat
ter before your Board of Trade a
your very earliest opportunity and lie
me have an expression from you ol
the matter. II there is sufficient in
terest shown, 1t is the purpose to hav
a joint meeting with representative
from all the towns along the rive
between Parkersburg and Cincinnati
with a view Of taking action on tn
proposition and making it a success.

MORE Than 1000
BELIEVED KILLED
At halifax
EXPLOSION OF MUNITION LADEN
SHIP WRECKS CITY.
Buildings Which Escape Force Of
Blast Are Afterwards Destroyed
BY Fire Which Sweeps
Over City.

Halifax, N. c., December with
the toll of dead steadily mounting 1t
was believed early this morning that
more than 1000 persons perishGd In
the explosion and fire which followed
the collision yesterday morning In
Halifax harbor between munitions
laden French ship and another ves-
sci loaded with supplies for the Bel
gian relief commission.
The disaster which has plunged
the Dominion into mourning probably
will rank as the most fearful that
ever occurred on the American con-
tient. Residents of HalifaN and thou
sands of volunteer relief workers who
have come into the city have been al
most dazed at the extent OF the hor-
Tor.
Temporary morgues have been es-
tablished In many buildings to which
steady procession Of vehicles Of all
kinds have been carrying for hours
the bodies Ct men, women and chill
dren Most of them were 81 charred
that they were unrecognizable Thou
sands of persons seeking ,rnca Of rel.
atives and friends have passed by the
long, silent rows, attempting. by the
Pickering light Of lamps and lanterns,
to identify the ones they sought.
Virtually every building in the city
which could be converted into a hos
pital is filed with wounded, many of
them SO desperately injured, that
there is no hope of their recovery
Scores already have died in these tem-
porary hospitals. An Increasing
number is being taken from the ON
pletely devastated Richmond district
to the relief stations. An army OF
rescue workers is searching among
the ruins for bodies and for those
who survived admidst the wreckage
left by the explosion and ire
The city was in darkness tonight
except for the flames from the fires still
burning in the wrecked buildings In
the north end. The electric light and
gas plants have been virtually de-
stroyed and the only lights available
are kerosene lamps. They furnished
the illumination by means of which
surgeons and doctors toiled heroical
ly throughout the night caring for the
injured.
Soldiers, sailors and police patroll
ed the streets tonight and upon then
fell the major portion of the burder
of searching among the ruins for tht
dead and wounded. The Canadians
we're assisted in this work from al
American warship in the harbor.
The flame-swept area covers ap
proximately two and one-half square
miles. 1t begins as what is known al
the North Street Bridge, extending
north to Pier 8 on the Richmond wat
er front and back to point parable
with Golden street. Nothing has beel
left standing in this section Of tn,
city. Only pile of smouldering ruin'
marks the spot where the great build
ing of the American Sugar Refining
Company stood. The drydock and al
The buildings which surrounded
were destroyed. The Richmond schoo
that housed hundreds of children wa
demolished and it is reported onl.
three escaped.
Canadian officers who have seel
long service in France characteriz
the catastrophe as "the most fearful
which has befallen any city in tn,
world"

CHRISTMAS CHEER CLUB
Started to Make the Boys Happy at
Camp Zachary Taylor : Santa
Claus Going by Alrplane--
$3.50 Subscribed This
Morning.

In cooperation withe Louisville
Courier-Journal, the Public Ledger
has for several days been asking for
contributions to fund to furnish
Christmas cheer to the boys at Camp
Taylor
When Santa Claus goes to Camp
Zachary Taylor in Louisville Christ
mas eve, 1917, he will go dressed in
khaki. Santa Claus has become
quite modern old gentleman and
he also has inbibed some of the mil
itary spirit Of the present world up
heaval, for he has discarded the old
sleigh and reindeers for the more up
to-date military flying machine. San
ia Claus will begin his fight from
the top Of the Courier-JOurnal build
ing in Louisville at $3.50 O'Clock
Christmas eve and few minutes
later will descend at Camp Zachary
Taylor and begin his task of distrib-
uting gifts to the boys under Maj
Gen. Harry c. Hale
Santa Claus will thus be able to
(, claim the honor of being the first to
actually go "over the top" in Ameri-
ca.
1t seems certain that Santa Claus
will be greeted this year by the most
enthusiastic reception ever accorded
him. 1t will be the first time in his
history that he appeared so early in
the evening. 1t will be the first time
he has appeared in khaki; it will be
the first time he has travelled in an
airplane, and it will be the first time
that his entry into and city has been
given the official recognition and for
mality of a National Government re-
Ception.
The following contributions to this
fund were received by the Ledger this
morning:
