LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
Veteran River Man Tells Of the Days
That Are Departed,

That Are Departed.
Rafting and numbering on the up
per Mississippi has passed away with
the disappearance of the great forest
along the father of waters and its
tributaries" said Capt. Peter Conley
of Winona. MINI. Mr.. Colney is one
Of the pioneer river men of the Mis-
sissippi and has been connected with
rafting on the river for twenty-five
years.
Five and ten years ago there were
at least fifty boats plying the upper
river engaged only in towing RATS to
the mills. This year there will be not
more than ten. Packet lines afforded
employment to some of the old pilots,
but many have passed away and 9TH
ers have gone to Alaska, while some
are now plotting boats ON southern
waters.
The transfer of the numbering in
dustry from the northern waters of
the Mississippi to southern has afford
ed the steamboat man q chance for
employment far from his home. Many
accumulated fortunes while working
for the great lumbermen of the river
and have built homes and settled
down to steadier occupation. Travel
ing on the river during the summer
months is pursuit which gives one
a nomadic disposition hard to lose.
Some Of the pilots and captains
know have become owners of tow
lines and some Of packet lines. 9th
ers are now engaged in general busi-
ness. but they always desire to get
back on the river and feel the trem-

When the GARFIELD report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-

months Of publicity 1t is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
1t have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no.
tice this omission. and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out Of which the Beef In

dation- II the ofYicial statements Of
the report are susceptible Of contra
diction. a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most Of
tionel assertions. A fragrant example
Of this appeared in a recent article in
a. Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty iowa banks were forced
to close their doors In 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices."' Chief Clerk Cox, Of the bank

ditors once, has tabulated the list OF
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state

separately the reasons for each fail.

that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. It may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.
