RIVER TRAFFIC OPENS 6 UP; QUIET SINCE 1887; METHOD SAVES TIME (By 'Associated Press.) LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 10. Two tow boats, lashed to barges carrying more than 10,000 tons of steel bound from Pittsburgh to New Orleans are afloat on America's mightiest inland
waterways the Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers indicating to a decree river-
men say, the greatest revival of river
traffic since 1887. Curiously enough one ar the reasons given for it is that it is a time Baver. notwithstanding the greater distance than by rail. Favorable differences in freight rates and shortage of railroad cars also enter into the situation while completion of locks and dams are expected to give the traffic greater assurance of stability, and more ease of operation. To Build Terminals. Construction of river terminals at important cities with modern machinery for handling freight, already contemplated at Louisville and at Memphis, la expected to contribute to the revival and become a cornerstone in the foundation for its permanent future. News of upper Ohio River improvement, brought to Louisville by John F. Klein, of Pittsburgh, veteran riverman and owner of a fleet of tow boats and
, barges, indicates the first twenty-two
locks in the down river stretch from Pittsburgh have been completed. The twenty-third will be finished next year.
The twenty-fourth is even now receiv-
1 ing finishing touches and the twentyfifth will require but a few weeks to complete. The twenty-sixth to the thirty-third between Cincinnati and Maysvllle, Ky., already are in opera
tion. Below Louisville similar govern-
ment river work is being constructed.! Mr. Klein came to Louisville to meet one of his towboats. "Jn my thirtythree years of experience on the river," he said. "I have never seen such a boom as we are enjoying today. The Pittsburgh harbor is almost as busy as it was in the old days before the railroads took our business. Coal companies are buying steel barges as fast as they can be constructed. Passenger as well as freight traffic Is on the eve of a great revival, in the opinion of Mr. Klein. One packet, he asserted. Just off the marine ways at Mound City .111., has been repaired for a sum which exceeded the cost of her original construction. "So her owners must expect a revival of passenger
trade," ne aaaea.
