River dulls for boating amid rising river levels
River news notes a slack boating season with about five canal boats tied up and only six dollars in traffic between Peoria and Chicago. The Beaver and Atlantic have left, the E G Goad now plies Chicago river trade, and water levels rise from two feet at Copperas Creek to about 22 inches above low water. A teacher's institute at Lacon is planned for August, aiming to train teachers, with supervisors likely to help fund the session. Wheat indents suffer damage from recent rates, leaving fields largely wrecked.
