Web Wilder recites in his ANNALS OF
Kansas" that in 1854, when the first tide
of New England settlers began 20 drift
hitherward, the Missourions tied COW
20 each crossing of the Missouri river.
When an immigrant arrived at the
crossing he was certain 10 maze some
remark about the animal, and If he
said Cow" he was suffered to cross. but
il he said "keow" he was hustled back
east and out of the country as a bloody
minded abolitionist. In retaliation for
this il is said the Kansas fellows tied
a bear on their side of the river, and
when an immigrant crossed who called
il bear" he was welcomed with open
arms, but the fellow who called it bar"
vas scooted back into Missouri as an UNI
welcome slavery advocate.

the wharf so far as built looks we'll

the real question at issue is concern
ing the dimensions of the structure.

the authority to speak for the Hawaii

are shown the Government will not
permit work to proceed. There is

construction if there be the customary
