River Improvements Lift Illinois River Trade Prospects
The Illinois river corridor gains fresh attention as federal funds of 50000 dollars fund improvements between Copperas Creek dam and La Salle. Commodore Wallace plans a 15-boat fleet and local merchants eye river shipping to Chicago and St Louis, aiming to curb rail car shortages and cut freight costs. An envisioned 100-foot iron steamer with 100 horsepower rotary engine could speed trips, cost around 20000 dollars, and attract steady cargo and passenger traffic.
