The river is very high here now, being in faot somewhat over its banks below the Washington street bridge. It is also exceedingly with packed ice. If our freak weather should suddenly ohange ends now and get very warm, which is by no means im-

possible, there would be a combination of ioe gorge and high water that would make a big demand for increased American shipping faoil--ities on the fl its west of the river, without waiting for Congress to pass a ship subsidy bill. And especially would the demand be argent if a warm rain should s£t it.

The city offioials arej getting somewhat anxious in regard to the coal supply for running the light and water plant. The railroads are so congested with business

now that it is a matter of considerable anxiety whether the Monon can deliver any more of the grades of coal the city uses before the present supply is exhausted, which will be in about two weeks. The Mayor and the Counoil oommittee on lights and water are figuring on the matter, however, and will make some arrangements before the supply is clear used up. If they should not be able to obtain coal in sufficient quantities, and at reasooable prioes, a eupply of oord wood will be obtained, to tide over the period of coal shortage, This trouble emphasizes the need of extensive ooal sheds for the oity’s use in which ooal enough for all winter can be laid up in the summer, and these will no doubt be erected before another winter.
