ful in the forests, along the
Usage, Marias des Cygne and
Marmaton rivers, and on the
prairie lands adjacent roamed
the buffalo, antelope and other
game, The streams abounded
with FISH. The country was a
virtual paradise for the Indians
and as long as they were per-
mitted to use it as such they
were not disposed to be trouble
some.
The country was also a fruit
ful field for the Indian traders
who held the points of vantage
for traffic and were not ANXIOUS
for its occupancy by white set
tiers. A few white stragglers
came into the country, camped
where they liked, cultivated the
land If they pleased, and held on
to it by "squatters' rights" if
they desired. These earliest Of
white settlers cared not for a
better title to the land than occu-
pancy. They were Of a rowing
disposition and ever ready to
move on" when crowded by
neighoOrs settling within a few
miles Of them. These strolling
settlers doubtless came into the
country years before the first
permanent white settler arrived
and for this reason it was long a
question as to where and when
The first permanent white settle

eastern part Of the county was

ers ~ Foreign Missions. The
headquarters of this society was
at Boston, Mass, and its leading
object the spread Of Gospel
teaching. The mission was es-
tabhshed at the request of a
delegation Of Usage Indians who
visited Washington in 1890.

A Story Of the Settlement Of
Bates County.
BY W. n Marsh.

l
counties Of the State. Numerous
streams traverse the county, the
banks of which are usually skirt
ed with timber belts often reach.
ing far out on the prairies. Al
most the entire county is under.
laid with coal Of good quality.
For many years prior to its oc-
cupation by the white race it
was favored hunting ground of
the Indian and a field Of exploita-
tion for the Indian trader and
trapper.
The early settlement of this
county by the whites, while un-
attended by the usual massacres
and other serious depredations
by Indians, so common to from.
tier settlements in the western
country, is, however, replete
with interesting events, many of
which are worthy of being re-
corded in the pages of history.
1t shall be the object of this story
to relate some of the more prom
inent of these events, and in do
ing so a brief outline of State
history viii not be out of place.
Prior TO the transfer of the
Louisiana Territory to the United
States in 1903, but few settle
ments had been made by the
whites within the present boun-
daries of the State of Missouri,
and these few were almost ex-
clusively trading posts establish.
cd by adventurous spirits for
traffic with the Indians. Little
attention was given to the cult
yation Of the soil.
The Territory Of Missouri was
organized under an act of Con.
gress June 10, 1912, and William
Clark, of Lewis & Clark fame,
became the first Territorial Gov.
ernor. August 10, 1921, Mis-.
souri, was admitted as a State.
At this date the whole of the
western part of the State was
without settlements, at least, Of
a permanent character. There
were but fifteen organized coun-
ties, and one of these, Howard,
included nearly the whole OF
western and central Missouri.
Out of the original Howard coun.
ty has since been created thirty.
one entire counties and parts of
nine others. Jackson county
was organized in 1896 and in.
cluded within its boundaries the
present county of Bates. Sub.
sequently Bates became a part
OF VanBuren county and later a
part of Cass county. Bates
county was organized and named
in 1871. The county was named
in honor Of Edward Bates, al
leading lawyer of the State and
an illustrious statesman. His
statute now stands near the main
entrance to Forest Park, City Of
St. Louis. In 1855 Vernon coun-
~ was cut off from the southern
portion of Bates, and the north
line of the county extended so as
to include the south part of Cass
county. No further changes
have since been made in the
boundary lines Of Bates county.
The settlement of Bates cOun.
ty and much contiguous territory
was comparatively slow. This
was principally due 70 the fact
that the U. S. Government was
dilatory in making surveys, and,
until surveyed, secure titles 10
