ON THE WAY

TT HERE is for hope the fact the United States gov
ernment has to the point where is discussing the
subject of the German indemnity to the allies There is
at present seeming ambiguity in the American position
pressed by the state department but this will doubt be clear
ed time that Europe will know where stand and act
accordingly.
The French rejoicing at the declaration from Washng
ton that Germany must accept full responsibility for the
and her liabilities her fun extent On the other hand
seeming position in favor Of reopenng the indemnity negotia
tons basis will please Germany The Berlin govern
ment is in favor of negotiating further possible
Needless say it will be very difficult for the vcto and
the vanqushed to exactly to how much Germany
should pay The Ebert government insists 81 billions
than Germany Yet others estimate that Germany
will devote to indemnity purposes the amounts she for
nery paid days for military preparedness the task
be accomplished 1t is evident the amount will have be
arbitrarily determined and the allies will prefer the
figures They did not win the for the purpose of settling
the cost according to the wishes Berlin.
Just what the exact position of the United States will be
yet to be seen and the this country gets down brass
ticks the subject the better Until the amount of the in
demniy and the of its payment are fully and finally
settled there certain be less international turmoil

OF TRAFFIC
ON OHIO RIVER ST|RS
MEMORIES OF OLD DAYS
In Days of Mark Twain Packets
Were Celebrated for Their
Eats and Famous Races.

NEW ORLEANS, La. April g.
CA. P)-Memories OF old days on tn,
Mississippi when stately packet plieC
in the passenger traffic are revived by
the resumption of traffic between
Pittsburgh, Pa, and this city by way
of the Ohio.
Barges have carried freight traffic
on the great river for many years since
the packets were driven out by rail-
road competition. In the days of Mark
Twain the Mississippi packets were
celebrated for their "eats," their FAM
Gus races, their pilots and even for
their poker games.
1t used to be an uncommon sight to
see from Is to so passenger vessels,
from the palatial packet to the wealth.
er beaten tramp leave the New Or,
leans landings daily for up-river
POINTS.
Coming of the railroads with quick
service for perishable cargo, many
lines almost paralleling the river be-
tween the most important landings,
caused river traffic to lose its prestige
Shippers began sending cotton and
other non-perishale freight by rail and
the stops of the river packets were
fewer and fewer as the years went on.
Plantation landings rotted away.
planters began to buy railroad tickets
instead of steamer passage and made
their plans to spend the difference in
time in New Orleans instead of on the
boats. Planters moved to town, social
life in the country began to wane in
short. country dwellers became farm
ers and plantations became farms. II
was romantic to be planter. but much
more profitable to be a farmer. All
of this directly affected passenger traf-
fic.
A river voyage in the olden days was
a pleasurable affair if the boilers did
not blow up or the vessel hit one of
the shifted sand bars, mud-lumps or
hidden snags. A comfortable berth,
wonderful meals, dancing at night,
watermelon parties. well stocked bars,
stud and draw poker games for the
patrons of that form of amusement,
and last, but not least the antics of the
negro roustabouts all combined to
make things pleasant for the traveller.
Coffee in bed was the rule, then a
breakfast of bacon, eggs. waffles. pan
cakes started off the day. At noon
there was fruit, fish { roast. vegetables,
the ever present coffee and whatever
desert the cook had in mind for the
meal. The feast of the day came in

OF New orleans and City Of Baton

I'm glad lived the winter through.
Tn glad that I am here to see
The green returning 10 the tree,
The blue skies bending overhead.
The tulips nodding where l tread.
To hear the robins "howdy do
And whistle back to them, as though
I'd never known a touch Of snow.
I'm glad 7 lived the winter through.
Tn glad had the strength TO bear
The cold, gray days with all their
care.
Tn glad / never doubted then
That soon the sun would shine again

fAnd skies would wear their fairesl
blue,
For here is springtime at the door,
With all the joys worth living for.
Winter is like a time OF care,
The days OF doubt are cold and long,
We falter when we should be strong,
Yet if We keep the faith, some day
The trouble clouds win pass away
And life her pretties garb will wear,
And We shall say when skies grow
blue
We're glad we've lived our trouble
through.

PRESIDENT LEWIS
 OF JUNEAU WATER COMP ANY IS HERE|
Comes North to Make an h. vestigation as to Prob-
 ably Improvements.

"I was just making a business trip to Juneau in the interests of the water company. Only arriving yesterday, I have had as yet little time to familiarize myself with what may be done" said R. F. Lewis, President of the Juneau Water Com pany, regarding his present trip to Juneau. He arrived yesterday on the Alameda.
 "I am going thoroughly over our system here in company with our local manager, John Reck, and will then be able to state what will be done, provided it is found any inn prcvements are necessary at thls time.
 Since being in Juneau last, can notice many signs of business and residence improvement. Juneau as well as other ports of Alaska has been hard bit during the past three years. But the people who formerly lived here, are returning and hum dreds of newcomers are coming by every steamer.
 "I believe that business is not going to be bettered right away in the States Of course 1 am really only speaking with reference to my own state, California. So far we have felt little business depression but as readjustment becomes more certain, conditions change. For mcrly business changes started from the bottom and went up. This time it is starting from the top and working down. For instance, many of the large manufacturing con- cerns in California are already up, operating on halfI time or closing down altogether for Q time. The laboring men have sol far had little cause to complain but now that the employer is adjusting his business, the laboring man will surely be affected"
 Mir. Lewis is registered at the Gastineau while in tho city.

MT Short will leave on the Jefferson for Skagway and then go to Whitehorse, from there taking the trial to Dawson and to Mayo City.
 We believe we have the coming district of the Yukon Territory, ;" said Mr. Short today at the Gas tineau. T have received advices that 1000 tons of silver ore from Keno Hill have arrived at Mayo and is ready for shipment This is only a starter.
 The Mayo District is going to witness a big stride during the com ing season, l believe. The Yukon Gold Corporation is installing mach inery for big operations and will have a large force of men at work. Preliminary work has justified every H1tP tidl Hdo pceH 'dhSh .o" oi u'' cnlarging our operations. Silver and gold in quantities in one district, is bound to attract atention. While we are not booming in any unjusti- fled way the Mayo District, we are sure that it will prove one of the bonanza districts of the Interior"
 NIr Short came out over the trail last December and has been in Cali fornia for the past two months on business and pleasure.
