FROM OTHER PoINTs.-Captain May
says he did mske the first business trip up
the Mississippi, and to Galens, but hosts
had previously gone up to the forts with
supplies. The Chicago Tribune tells It in
this way: The statement was
recently made that Captain James Nav,
of Rock Island, claimed to have COM
nanded the first steamboat thai assembled
the Fever rtvyr, where Galens, Illinois, is
now situated. He does, 1t seems, claim to
hsve communicative steamboat Shamrock 4
when she made the first business trip
made by q steamboat from st.
Louis to Fever river lead mines,
in March, 1877, which wss some
months before a name was given to the
village Of Gslens. Then there were no
for white people on the ILL.,
nOis side, from the hesd of the rapids, |
where NsuvOo now Is, to Prairie du Chen
and nc white hsbitstions from Captain
PritchRrd's, where Canton, Missouri, Is
situated, on the west stde, up to Fort
Smelling, near where st. Paul now Is.
Several steamboats, made trips 70 carry
military stores to Fort Smelling and In
termediste points some few years before, 1
but none Of them made return or bust
ness trips..---.Ths Peoris Transcript
