Determined to fight the proposed

nounced by the Interstate Commerce

ige which Memphis shippers enjoy

shipping corporation for the pur-
pose Of reviving river transporta-
ton between st. Louis and New Or
leans, says the Memphis Commercial
Appeal Of July ri.
The company will be capitalized
at $1,500,000, and it is proposed to
nut into immediate service a line Of
steamboats, or barges with regular
sailings between st. Louis and New
Orleans, thus bringing back the river
transportation Of 20 years ago,
when large portion of freight 70
and from this city was handled by
boat.
This plan was proposed by the
committee named at the mass meet
ing on July 8. The committee made
it, report yesterday afternoon when
about 100 shippers and receivers

An additional recommendation was
the subscription Of s75,0 900 as a con-
tingent fund to be used in securing
options on vessels and in taking
care Of the other items Of expense
incident to organization of the cor
poratiOn. The $4,000 asked for
BY Milton n. Hunt, chairman Of the

kOYUkUK MAN IS MISSING;
 FEARED HE HAS PERISHED

Oscar Johnson, a we'll known old timer of the Koyukuk, has been missing for several weeks and it is feared by the residents of that dis trict that he lost his way in the hills and perished. Several parties are reported to have been organized for the purpose of looking for him but all returned without success, beyond finding the tracks of the missing man and one of his camps. The tracks indicated that Johnson travelled in a circle during part of his wanderings and convinced his friends that he was completely con- fused. He became lost while on a hunting expedition to Gold creek. He had a dog with him, but the dog is also missing.
 The first news of Johnson's dis appearance was brought to Nenana by Nellie Cashman, about two weeks ago, and further news was brought in by Theo. McNamee, who arrived from that district this week. He says that hope of finding Johnson alive had been abandoned at the time he left the diggings.
