The following boats are held in reserve to be used whenever needed during low water: Savanna, Reserve, Keithburg, Pembina and Charley Cheever. The following will also be used during the season as tow boats: Petrel, Little Giant, Dan Hines and Iron Sides. These, with the use of barges, will be enabled to transport an immense amount of grain and other freight. The Canada and Old Hawkeye have been sold and torn up, so that two of the familiar boats that have been so long in the trade will visit our port no more.
