he wanted to, besides riding within a
few yards of large band of mountain
sheep and seeing lot of elk. Mule
deer we're very plenty, so many that
no attempt was made to count them.
They were all along the trail and roao.

from him about them.

behind those on the Mississippi, and
much the same scenes were witnessed
en- them. In the place of the rich
plantation owner ready for the fleec-
ing the gamblers that infested the
boats had as their prey the fur trader
and the freighter of the plains, men
who made their thousands month.
Poker was the only game played, and
many big games were pulled of.
There were tragedies, too, dark and
bloody deeds. Those were days when
ito call man liar meant fight with
guns, and to intimate that he was a
cheat invited immediate assassination.
Many of these boats cost from $780,
600 to $4,000, princely sums fer the
time.
The pilot was in those days the
autocrat of the rivey--the big man on
every beat. He received large wages,
sometimes as much as $1,000 or $500
a month, and he spent it like a
, Thoroughbred. The first labor union
organized west of the Mississippi was
that Of the pilots of this river, and as
/ no man could learn the river without
long and careful tutelage, the pilots
were we'll able to dictate their own
wages. Plotting in the Missouri was a
science, and the skillful man was one
of wonderful memory of localities. He
had to know the river thoroughly. He
! had TO know it by night as we'll as
| by day. Snags, bars, rocks and sunken
wrecks were a continued menace, but
despite all of his precaution he would
lose boat. Between 1910 and 1880
over 800 boats were sunk.
"Steamboating on the Missoui was
in its heyday between 1850 and 1860.
Splendid boats of beautiful construc-
ton carried hundreds of passengers
and thousands of tons of freight. But
the whistle of the first locomotive as
it resounded through the Blacksnake
hills, near ST. Joseph, in 1859, sounded
the death knell of this industry. 1t
soon became evident that river trans
iportation was a poor rival, and the
war soon ended it. Dozens of boats
were lost in the troublous times of the
early COS. Guerrillas in the lower
reach made navigation almost impos-
sible. A few boats went higher to es-
cape the ravages of war, and between
Sioux City and Fort Benton found a
thriving trade. The discovery of gold
in Montana in 1862 caused big rush
that partially revived the industry,
but when the Northern Pacific pushed
its rails into the northwest it forever
settled it."

Fort Benton, the head of navigation.
At that time no railroad had been
build west of the Mississippi, and the
entire commerce of the Rocky noun
tain region was transported over the
Missouri In 1919 the problem of
navigation of the river had been
solved by ST. Louis men, Col. Rector
and others, and thereafter the way
was open.
The first boat TO ascend the river
was a government steamer. the West
ern Engineer, which was built express
ly to terrorize the Indians. She was a
sternwheeler rs feet long, with
13-fcot Lean and drew 10 inches of
water. On her bow was the escape
pipe, made in imitation of a huge
serpent with its mouth open and
tongue painted red. The steam es
capped through the mouth at intervals,
making a noise like the dying groans
! of a great sea monster. The noise
could be heard for miles, and the
Indians who ventured to the river
bank 10 gaze upon it fled in terror,
/ convinced that the Manitou had shown
| himself in new and fearful form.
Twelve years later Improvements
made in the beats enabled them to
navigate the upper waters. Pierre
Chouteau, the head of the American
fur trade company, was the first man
to navigate beyond the Iowa frontier.
/ Tn Il, no

of the Niobrara, in northern Nebraska,
/ and finally landed at the mouth of
Milk river in South Dakota. In the
! following year other boats were
! launched by this company. One each
life on board was decidedly strenuous.
Indians loitered on the river banks tC
take a shot at the boat, and each night
it had to be anchored in midstream to
avoid surprises. Fuel was scarce, and
while half the crew went into the
woods TO cut timber the remainder
stood guard with muskets.
THE next era of the river was its
golden one. With the establishment
of military posts in the north
west the tide of emil
grafton set in. The year 1884,
saw the end of the fur trade ca the
upper Missouri. The fur-carrying
beats were replaced by stern-wheelers
with a single engine, which carried
all supplies from civilization. By 1850
the advance in building the boats had
been such that they became verltable
palaces. State rooms, cabin rooms
and dining saloons were introduced.
Travel by boat became one of the
Injuries and pleasures Of life. The
Missouri river boats were not whit

A RIVER GRAVEYARD.
Many Boats Lost in the Missouri-ln
the fieyday of the Business.


Evansville Qnd) Courier.-The big
gest marine graveyard in the United
States is that part of the Missouri
river between st. Joseph and ST.
Louis. In the tortuous stretches be-
tween those two cities the wrecks of
more than 200 steamboats, lie buried
in the bends. This was the testimony
of Capt. Phil Chappell of Kansas City,
one of the veterans of the river steam
boatmen at Lincoln, Neb. Chappen,
who spent more than 80 years on the
river, is now a bank president.
There is not now single steam
boat on the whole stretch of river that
even plays at navigating it. It's evolu-
ton has been complete" he says.
THE Indian with his canoe, the French
voyageur with his pirogue, the
American fur trader with his keel
boat, the magnificent passenger
steamer-each in turn has gone UP and
down, but today, on what was once the
commercial highway of the west,
there now remains only the original
navigator-the little blue winged teal
And yet there is much of history
still clinging to the old river. Fifty
years ago fully 60 boats were regularly
employed in carrying the trade be-
tween ST. Louis and st. Joseph, and
fully as many more made irregular
trips to Omaha and Sioux City and to
