摘要：	About this time each year, those involved in navigation on the Missouri River are anticipating the start of the navigation season. The Corps reservoirs typically release water to support navigation on the stream from the first of April through the end of November each year. With sufficient water entering the Missouri from the tributaries, it is not unusual to have some tows on the move by mid-March. That was the case this year when the Melba L. Engemann of Missouri River Towing entered the mouth with a tow of three loads and four empties on March 7, according to the Missouri River Boat Report put out by the Corps' Kansas City District. In 1935, the Inland Waterways Corporation (IWC), typically referred to as the Federal Barge Line, was looking to establish regular barge service between St. Louis and Kansas City. Work had been progressing on dredging and construction of training structures to ensure at least a 6-foot-deep channel on the traditionally problematic Missouri River. In 1932, the IWC had made a trial trip with the stern-wheel steamers Mark Twain and General Ashburn as far as Kansas City, and that had gone well. A large crowd greeted the boats at the new Kansas City terminal, but only sporadic trips had been made since. Now it was felt that the channel was ready to support regular service, and the diesel twin-screw Franklin D. Roosevelt would enter that trade.
