Northern Packet Company May
Dispose OF Local Steamer to
Cincinnati People.
10 REPLACE BOAT DESTROYED
Was Purchased by Captain Blair
Seven Years Ago and Brought
Here From South.

Negotiations are pending as
tween the Northern Packet com
pany OF Davenport and the Coney
Island Amusement company OF
Cincinnati, Ohio, for the sale OF
the steamer Morning Star. local
packet boat. It is expected that
the deal will be conaImmated
within the next day or two. IL
case the boat IS purchased by the
Cincinnati people. the Morning
Star will be taken TO new waters
this spring for the Ohio and lower
Mississippi trade.
The big ice jam in the Ohio river
played havoc among the boats OF
the Ohio and lower Mississippi
rivers and among those wrecked
were the excursion barge Prince
and steamer Princess, owned b.
the Coney Island Amusement conf
pany. and operated along with the
island Queen. one of The finest eX-
CurSiOn steamers on the two rivers.
Representative Of the amuSe-
ment company came to Davenport
last week to look over the steamer
Morning Star and to open negCtia-
tons with the Northern Packet
company with a view OF puttii'6
her in the excursion business ou-
of Cincinnati
1t was seven years ago that Cap
tain Walter Blair of the Northern
Packet company brought the Morn
ing Scar from the lower river. put
her on the ways at kahlke boat
yards. and remodeled the boat for
the tri-city-St. Paul trade.
The steamer was OpeI ated for
seven seasons on weekly cruises,
carrying three passenger lists and
giving the people along the river
an opportunity for a delightful We
cation trip. The boat carried large,
roomy state rooms, a conmodiOus
promenade deck and demonstrated
that the river trade on the upper
river was still good.
River Will Be Deserted.
The sale of the steamer Morning
Star along with the boats of the
Streckfus line being takCI4 over b.
the government indicates that the
upper river will be deserted this
year at least by the big Loats.
Although no definite plans have
been announced as yet by the
Northern Packet company, it is
expected that the packet service
between this point and Burlington
and Quincy, which is a heavy
freight line, will be resumed again

COMPLAINTS OF
R. co
TO WASHINGTON
Government Establishes Board
to Investigate Complaints
and Suggestions of
Passengers.

Railroad officials are advised that
in Washington the bureau for sug-
gestions and complaints has been
put in working order. II deals with
complaints against the operation OF
railroads generally and train service
throughout the country. Its organi-
zation was an idea of Director Cen
eral McAdoo. 1t is presided over
by T. H. Price, a former newspaper
man, who,is assisted by Ballard
Dunn of the Union Pacific; ]. F.
FARRELL, former Kansas City news
paper man and several other parties
who have had experience in the
newspaper editorial and advertising
fields.
The scope Of the bureau is broad
and has to do with about every
thing of which a traveller might
complain. The duty of the bureau
is to iron out all differences arising
between railroads and patrons and
satisfy those who are OF the opinion
that they have not, been fairly
treated. Complaints that were for
merly handled in local and general
offices Of the railroads now 60 to
the bureau for adjustment.
The bureau of suggestions and
complaints has issued a statement
calling attention to what the rail-
roads are doing under government
operation. This statement points
out that during June Of this year
the railroads. in addition to their
other passenger business, handled
IN average of about 100000 SOL
diers q. month. There was an enor-
nous increase in the regular pas
senger traffic by reason of friends
and relatives visiting army camps
where the boys were stationed and
by reason of the fact that on &C
count of high wages paid. people
generally, having plenty of money,
felt that they could afford to travel.
Improve Sleeper Service.
An effort was made to keep pas
senger cars and sleepers loaded to
capacity and very satisfactory re-
suits were obtained. Under the old
rule sleeper berths were reserved
by simply telephoning the ticket Of
flee. Under government operation
this plan was abolished, and while
the new rule caused some confusion
il worked itself out and according
to the bureau, is now giving salts
faction.
Complaints relative to ill-kept
passenger stations have been num-
erous, with the result that station
agents and depot employees have
been able to bring about a change
in housekeeping methods and such
places are now clean and sanitary.
1t is said that complaints of dis
courtesy on the part of employees
are much less frequent and that
now the letters of commentator
about equal those in which there is
fault finding. II
The consolidating Of ticket Offices
in the cities, the bureau says, at
first came in for considerable criti-
c.sm, but that now with these Offices
in working order, their convenience
is appreciated by the travelling
public.

BOOZE WAS IN TENDER
HOW MANLY, IA, HAS BEEN
GETTING LIQUOR
Clever Scheme Neatly Nipped
BY Engineer of Rock Island
Locomotive
ASSOCIATED Press DISPATCH

Albert Lea, December 19.-For
some time the dry town of Manly, Ia,
south of here, had been getting booze
in very mysterious manner. 1t was
evident that the trains were bring
ing it in. But how. Detectives had
travelled back and forth for many
trips trying to locate the wet goods,
but nothing was discovered. Finally
the booze itself spilled the beans.
One of the big engines was run
ming along the Rock Island right of
way, between Faribault and Owa-
tonna, wet cities, and Manly, when
things seemed suddenly to go
wrong. The engineer noticed there
was no water coming into the boiler
He stopped the locomotive and began
an investigation. The tender was full
of water. The engineer figured that
therefore the pipe that led into the
boiler must be choked.
Found Some Booze.
He cautiously began to fish around
and found a pasteboard carton in the
tender The pieces were the chok-
ing agents. Upon further. investiga-
tion it was found that the carton
had contained a number of bottles
of booze. There was also lying near,
a We'll soaked, but intact, suitcase
full of the some stuff.
The mess was cleared away and
confiscated The engine rambled
along into Manly and put up in the
roundhouse. Then a watch was set,
and by ard by stealthy shadow was
seen creeping up on the tender. The
shadow began to fish with a big hook
on the end of rope, but no fish rose
to his bait.
So the mystery Of the booze in
Manly was solved at last. The send
ers, somewhere on the line would put
a suitcase or two of wet goods in the
water OF the tsIdef, and the confed-
crate at Manly would fish it out.
