Steam Navigation :. =, =. Missouri Fifty Year.
The FIRST steamer that navigated the Mis-
souri, as far as the mouth Of the Yellow Stone,
was that engaged in the famous expedition
of Lewis & Clark, some fifty years ago, the
Western Engineer, boat about the size Of
respectable yawl. She accomplished the
trip from St. Louis to Sioux City in one sea.
son. The first regular boat in the Missouri
river trade was the Otoe, which ran ono
whole season, under the command of our
fellow citizen, Capt. j. b. Hill, late of the
firm of Hill 4 Conn. This was, we believe,
10 the year 1918. The Otoe was very
different boat from those now navigating the
Missouri. She drew four feet Of water,
light, and her contemporaries being of .
similar draught, it is no wonder that trip
in that stream was considered matter Of
extreme hazard and difficulty. The Hancock
piled in the trade after the Otoe. 10 the
spring of 1880, Capt. Andy Wineland made
a government trip to Fort Leavenworth.-
He had to cut his own wood. His boat was
the Globe, and like other boats Of those days,
was slow, and heavy draught. This was
the only trip made that season, by steamer,
in the Missouri. How great has been the
change since the Otoe, the Hancock and the
Globe pressed the sands and lazily plowed
the waters of the muddy Missouri river
