These bluffs, like the hills lying back from the
river, OF which they are the mere projections,
are composed of soft yellowish limestone, in
horizontal layers. The hills are mostly we'll
wooded, as seen from the river; an opening
here and there revealing the hand of cultiva-
tlon. Back OF these hills on the right and left,
are the rich farming lands of Wisconsin and
Iowa. Between these hills and the river are
bottom lands" mostly unfit for settling. Some
OF them are wooded, and some of them afford
good pasturage. Other portions are mere sand
flats shifting with the currents of the changing
seasons. The pilot tells me that every year
opens new channels and fills up more or less
OF the old, rendering navigation at low water
especially, very difficult. OF course the boats
are constructed to meet this demand of cir
cumstances. The Northern Light" is 240 #.
long by 40 wide, but draws only thirty inches
of water. Smaller boats, used farther up The
river, draw still less. But many of these even,
have been hung up on the sand bars in the ex-
treme low water Of the month past.
The most important midday duty in the sa-
loon has just beeh attended to-the dinner.
