Cow Island swept Away by Hapaclous
mig Muddy"
In the palmy days OF steamboatlng
on the Missouri river one Of the most
noted localities on that turbulent and
uncertain stream was Cow island, sit
uated in the river about seven miles
above Weston and opposite the old
town OF Iatan. II then contained about
1000 acres and was densely covered
with a prlmeyal forest OF cottonwood.
It acquired its peculiar name from the
fact that at an early day-some time
in the last oentury-a French trader
In ascending the river, found here
solitary COW, the first ever seen so
high up and the only one then within
hundreds OF miles, She had been
stolen. doubtless. by the Indians from
the white settlement on the Missssip-
pl near st. Charles. driven up the
river and placed on the island TO pre-
vent her escape The French gave TO
the island the name isle de Vaehe,'
the English meaning Of which was
Cow island" The island was In
former days a place OF historic inter-
est and was noted landmark, not
only among the early voyages and
steamboat men, but the early explor-
ers as we'll. Lewis and Clarke landed
here and replenished their larder with
several deer on July 3, 1904. They
found at the head OF the island large
lake, now called Bean lake. contain
ing beaver and many water fowl II
was the hrst beaver they had seen
Captain Martin, another explorer win
tered here with a detachment Of troops
in 1853. And here Major Long. on
his famous expedition to the Yellow
stone, held a council with the Kansas
Indians on Aug. "a. 1919. The island
was first opened by Major John
Dougherty OF Liberty. Mo, the father
OF the present congressman from that
district, who in his day was famous
trapper and member OF the Ameri-
can Fur Company. ard spent many
years among the Indians. The fur
company hae a number OF trading
posts on the upper Missouri, where
they kept merchandise which they ex-
changed with the Indians for furs

Jimmy Collins leads the Boston
American League team in batting
with the splendid average of 1866.
Capt Hugh Jennings. Of tho Phil
lies. says that Boston IL not a factor
in the league race. He thinks that
Pittsburg, st. Louis and Philadelphia
will fight II out for the bunting. Jen-
nings has certainly Infused new life
into the Quakerites and thoy are play
ing the game for all II Is worth.
Old Joe Quinn Is certainly one OF the
veterans OF baseball. He has played
on nine championship teams, one in
ST. Louis, Ave in Boston and three in
Baltimore. Quinn's professional work
began in st. Louis In 1884, when no
was 10 years old. which would make
him &c years old, and Quinn says the
figures are right. Quinn oonfesses to
having played second base profession
ally for II years.

The visit OF Lafayette.
While worthy OF attention as a treo
Of attractive growth IL Is to Al event
which occurred In 1925 that the tree
owes its name OF Lafayette Oak In
1924 when the Marquis dc Lafayette
started on his triumphal tour Of the "a
states which then comprised the I'M

the country was In a Juror OF excite
ment and everywhere the greetings to
the noble-hcarted son OF France were
iervld After his tour OF the west, he
came east on the Erie canal, which
had Just been completed and arrived
In Rome. June 2, 1925. There he was
met by a company OF distinguished cit
liens from Utica. Whitesboro and
Rome and the militia. A speech OF
welcome was delivered and a reception
rendered the general. after which La
Fayette and his party were escorted TO
the canal where their boat was await
ing them. That night they proceeded

Of Col. Gerrit lansing. who was under
his command at CORVALLIS surrender
AZ Yorktown in 1881. As no was pro-
seeding TO the home OF Col. Lansing
a most enthusiastic demonstration was
accorded him. when the mansion was
approached. the throng became 30
dense that Lafayette was obliged 20
take stand beneath one OF the trees
OF the estate and there remain while
the multitude passed. shaking hands
and also delivering few words OF ap-
probation. The tree under which La
Fayette stood was marked and from
that time to the present II has been
cahed the Lafayette Oak
A noteworthy incident in connection
with the Lafayette Oak is the fac,
that AZ one time II was used az a post
office, regular though infreuuent visits
being made by carriers OF the mail "a
the spot to deposit mail for traders
with the Indians who lived In great
numbers in the forest west OF Orkls-
any and to receive letters for the
east"

the rapaclous current Of that stream

fact that such an island ever existed
