Mention was made last week of the
taking of the ferry boat Ruth to New
Orleans to be converted into more
commodious craft to meet the in
creasing automobile business at this
place. During the vessels temporary
absence, the ferry business bet3,een
Donaldsonville and Darrow, is being
amply and carefully attended to by
the steamer Virgie and barge The
passenger trade between Donaldson
vile and Burnside, connecting at the
latter place with the trains of the
Valley and Frisco routes, goes on
without interruption by way of Dar-
row, being carried by jitneys, trucks
md trailers. Persons travelling by
automobile going from points on the
west bank of the river to New Orleans
Baton Rouge or other points on the
east bank, will find its advantageous
to cross at this place. The ramps and
approaches to the ferry are easy, and
the distance to the capital is fourteen
miles shorter by. the road on the east
bank than by that on the west. There
are good gravel roads all the way and
pleasing scenery. The road crosses
Bayou Manchac at Hope Villa and
passes by the receiving station of
the Louisiana penitentiarv.

of that city, speaks well for the prog
