The Sioux City, as her name Implies, was
built expressly lor a Sioux City paekct. under
the especial supervision of Captain Baker
who, in her construction, has spared neither
trouble nor expense to make her a No. 1 Mis
souri River steamer, and one in nil respects
most udmiraby adapted to the wants of the
river. She will he found, as regards capacity
for business as well as the superiority of her
passenger accommodations, inferior to no
boat in the trade, and as such Cant. Baker
takes much pleasure in prcsei ting her to the
favorable consideiation of his frie-.ds and
acquaintances, and the public generally, hon
ing to receive at their hands a continuance of
that generous patronage for which he j8 i.
debted during a series of years, while in com
