FERRY CHANGES HANDS
The Ernst Ferry Boat Purchased by John Ellinghouse Last Week

John Ellinghouse, of this city, has purchased the ferry boat which was owned 
and run by the Ernst boys last summer and will conduct the ferry business at 
this point during the coming season. The transfer took place last Thursday, 
Mr. Ellinghouse paying $150.00 for the boat. So far as known at the present 
the arrangements will be the same as last summer, in regard to time, etc.

There is considerable room for improvement in the system of ferriage at this 
point, more especially at the farther end of the route, across Crooked Slough, 
and we hope to see the changes made this season. There should be better 
accommodations for Illinois people who want to come to Bellevue to trade.
