The Cooperative Council of Kentucky

There is every reason 10 believe
that a considerable advance has
Just been made in the social well
fare work in Kentucky. Heretofore,
there have been many organizations
at work, most Of them busted with
their own individual problems. and
some Of them paying little atien-
ton 10 the work the rest were do q
ing. Some excellent results have
been accomplished, but great
many things have been left undone
and thousands Of people remain I'M
reached. There are spots where a
dozen or more organizations are on
the field. and there are other local.
ties where none have entered.
A plan 10 bring into closer CO.

cies seemed wise 10 few people,
and so, on April %. a meeting was
called in Louisville. of the heads
Of nearly all the organizations in
The state. The executive officers of

The President Of the Kentucky
Conference of Social Work presided
at the meeting. Each member of

At the conclusion Of these reports
il was proposed that a State Council
be organized to act as a clearing

educational work in the State, and
to be the advisory board for new

This council would endeavor TO

STEAMER CRESCENT SUNK FRIDAY
Accident Probably Caused By Ice Jams
OF Last January

Last Friday night the Steamer Cres-
cent, owned by Captain A b. Wilson,
sank at her mornings in the Kootenai
river just below the Indian Mission, at
which point the steamer has been tied
during the winter months.
Captain Wilson had been going to
the steamboat every week and on the
occasion of his last visit, on Monday of
last week, everything appeared all
right On Saturday morning an In
dian came to town and reported to
Captain Wilson that the steamboat had
sunk during the night and on investi-
CATION this proved to be the case.
The cause of the accident is so far
unknown but it is thought that the
steamer may have been punctured at
the time of the ice jam in January al
some point in the hull below the water
line, which escaped notice, and after
thawing entirely out, admitted the wa
ter and caused the sinking. The YES
sci stands in about fourteen feet OF
water and con be raised by means OF
steam derrick. Captain Wilson
states, however, that owing to the
present large expense connected witt
such work and the slack condition Of
river business at this time, he will MOI
undertake the raising at present. Lat
err on this may be done.
There is no insurance on the steam
boat covering accident or loss by wa
