STEAMBOATS, TO WHISTLE
ON RIVER NEXT SUMMER

DUBUQUE.-Posslbl revival Of the
packet service on the Mississippi riv-
er is seen in the announcement by the
Mississippi and Ohio Steamship COM
pa ny of St. Louis, Mo-, of their intCn-
ton to institute passenger steamship
service between st. Paul, Mimi, and
New Orleans, La, beginning June /.
The announcement of the company

company, the letter said, will operate
the steamers Pilgrim and Harry G.
Dress between ST. Paul and New Or
leans on regular passenger schedules.
The boats are described as being
side heelers, with steel hulls, and
have rooms to accommodate 76 peo-
pie The dance floors will accommo-
date over 100 couples. There are
ample DINING facilities on both of
these craft.
Big River Traffic Increases.
According to the annual report of
the Mississippi river barge line there
were 650,7S0 tons of freight carried.
between ST. Louis and New Orleans
during the fiscal year ending July /,
1922. The above report represents an
increase of 176 per cent over the ton
mage transported during the previous
fiscal year.
The report says that the govern
ment earned return of 100000 on
its investment in the equipment of
the barge line, after paying all oper-
ating expenses and liberal allow
ance for depreciation.
The above is another proof that the
traffic in the Mississippi is coming
back again, and shows that good use
can be made of all water ways if the
proper attention is given theE1.

Regardless of any citizens personal predictions
regarding liquor such spectacle anywhere off the

law enforcement the rum-running from those supply
ships to the shore could be stopped With patronage
