The U S government plans an experimental barge line on the upper Mississippi with two steel barges, the Advance and the Scott, operating north of St Louis toward Davenport. Brig Gen Ashburn states the project may extend deeper as river channels deepen. An advisory board approved a $25,000 study and awaits War Department approval, with Edward Goltra’s case expected in March.
