RIVER TRAFFIC
To Be REVIVED
st. Paul Representatives Visiting
Here See Mississippi Barge
Line by Spring.

Traffic on the Mississippi river
is to be revived and barge line,
privately owned, running between
st. Paul and st. Louis, will be
started this spring. This is the
word that came today to Moline
from II. c. Underwood and G. W.
Wittgraf, special representatives of
the Mississippi River Navigati ton
company of st. Paul.
Wooden barges, steel-lined and
the latest word in construction, are
t. be put in service. The first of
them are to be brought from the
Ohio river. Others Will be built as
rapidly as materials can be secured
Some eighty of them will eventu-
ally be operated by this one COM
pany.
Deere & Co. made a shipment of
Flows to its Minneapolis branch
house by water last summer, and
cost and time showings made were
such that it probably will be a big
patron of the Mississippi River
Navigation company. Other imple-
ment manufacturers of the quad
cities, with big branch houses both
in Minneapolis and in st. louis.
promise to be interested.
Organization of the Mississippi
River Navigation company is the
direct result of the determination
# it's president and originator. F.
4. Corson, of st. Paul, to beat"
the rail rates.
Federal officials have admitted
that the $3,600,000 government
barge fleet for the upper river will
not be completed in time for its
use this season. Operation of the
private line, however. will assure
the resumption of river freight
traffic at once,
All water rates@o the Missis-
sippi are a third lower than the
railroad tariffs, and federal engi-
neers declare that the upper river
will have a navigable channel this
season despite reports to the con-
trary.
