kansas river, We think tha, II is ii' time 'ha's
lthc work should be commenced. Our river GER
i,ninIy is in most depIorablo condition for theS
safe navigation Of any kind of crafts; steainboa's
are compelled from tho immense numbers o'
rs, to lio by every night, and tho running even
lin daylight is extremely dangerous. In many
places the snags are so numerous that it is almos's
impossible for a steamer to run between them.-E
There have been one or two snog boats in this rv-
er, which have ascended as high as Pine Bluffs. \
and then returned without removing to any ex. i
ent tho many dangerous snags that so'maierIallys !
obs:ruct tho safe navigation Of this river. WiAH
no, some one of our congressional delegation look
into this matter, and see il something cnnnot beE
done TO improve the river, and If possible TO haveJ
snag boa,s placed in this river. to bc commanded
