We have given this name to the road run
ming up the river, the most important one
in the place. Early in the Fall, two or
three of our produce dealers, seeing
the insuficiency of ware house room
and knowing that "a great amount Of grain
would come here for sale and shipment
erected each "shanty" ware house, cheap
and convenient. AS it proved to be a pay
ing investment others built also and now
there are nine of these ware houses on Bluff
street We are indebted to George Nc
