tractiye 10 the emigrants and
homeseeker, and led 70 the set
tlement Of the country for many
miles around. The fertile soil Of
the surrounding prairie land
yielded immense crops and af-
forded unlimited pasturage for
stock. After two or three years
the graineries Of the mission
we're filed with the produce Of
the fields, and buyers came from
long distances. It was a boon
for the settlers and persons pass
ing through the country. Stores
and shops were opened at the
mission and the population grew
with each passing year. The fu-
ture of the place seemed bright
and hopeful
As a condition Of settlement
and work among the Indians, the
~. S. Government had given to
the mission three sections Of
land. Upon one Of these the
mission was built and portions
of the others were used for crops
and pasturage. Sixty acres
near the mission was set out in
apple trees. They grew luxuri-
antly and within a few years the
orchard was in full bearing.
This orchard became famous
throughout the southwest and
people came for hundred of miles
with wagons to secure the Ius-
cious fruit Peach and other
fruits We're also grown and all
did well. AS the country settled
7p the trade OF the mission grew
snd thriyed. Supplies Of mer-
chandise were brought up the
Usage river from St. Louis in
boats, and by wagons from Boon
vile, Independence and other
points along the Missouri river.
Independence, a hundred miles
away, was the nearest pOst-ofice
for many years. Perhaps doz-
e4s years after the founding Of
the mission the U. S. Govern
ment considered the proposition
of establishing a fort or military
post at the mission. A commits
sion sent out by the Secretary of
War reported favorable upon the
location. As a preliminary 10

mony mission. In conformity
with the agreement made with
the Government, Harmony mis-
sion was abandoned BY the soci
ETY. establishing it IN 1857, six
teen years after its founding.
After the mission was aban-
dOned a number Of settlers re-
manned under the belief no doubt
that still better and brighter days
would follow when the contem-
plated military post or fort was
established Land values in
creased IN the country surround
ing the mission. There were
boomers In those days as ia later
years and many new settlers
came 70 the mission, while many
more took up the land in the ad-
Jacent cOuntry-au expecting a
great boom 70 follow the building
Of the new fort. An, however.
were doomed 70 disappointment.
A new Secretary Of War came in
and a new commission was sent
out TO re-examine the site The
report of this later commission
was Unfav0rable 10 Harmony
mission. Instead they recon
mend a new site further west.
over in The Nation, and there the
new fort was located and built.
1t was called Fort Scott and the
thriving town ofFort Scott, Kan
sas, resulted from the change.
Thus ne'er did Harmony Mission
come to be a considerable city.
a few settlers still remained
at the mission, but its trade
gradually drifted TO other quar-
tiers and its prestige was lost in
the growth and prosperity Of
other more promising settle
ments which We're rapidly spring
ing up in the growing southwest.
Many of the disheartened set
tiers left.
One hope, however, remained
TO those who stil chung TO Har-
mony mission, thst Of becoming
a county seat, and, an effort was
made TO secure that boon for the
decaying mission. These were
the days of county seat wars in
western Missouri and these wars
were waged relentlessly. All Of
the trickery of politicians, the
treachery OF law makers and Of
iCials, schemes, reprehensible
and otherwise, Of land owners
and land agents were employed
IN carrying on county seat wars.
The almighty dollar was az stake
and unscrupulous means 20 ac.
complish desired ends were un-
hesitatingly adopted by interest
ed persons or factions on either
side. At each session of the Leg
laisture bills were introduced
changing county lines and county
seats.
Quite often bitter feelings were
engendered among the settlers
on account of some yexed county
seat question, resulting in fstic
encounters, and not infreQuently

4 Story of the Settlement Of
Bates County.
BY w. r. Marsh
lContInued from last veek.l

Papin's home was in St. Louis
but he visited the trading post
once or twice each year for the
purpose Of traffic with the In
dians. He brought supplies up
the Usage river in boats and re-
turned with cargoes of furs and
pelts
a mile or so beyond the Indian
trading post, and upon the north
bank Of the Marias des Cygnes
river a site for the mission to be
established was selected. The
ground was high and rolling.
Timber was abundant along the
river bank with a beautiful prai-
rie country opening back to the
north and east. 1t seemed an
ideal place for the planting of a
colony, and here, on the banks Of
the beautiful Marias des Cyg mes
river in southeastern Bates
county, the missionaries and
their associates pitched their
tents and Harmony Mission, the
first permanent white settlement
of the county was made. Hewed
log houses with clapboard roofs
and puncheon floors We're erect
ed, and later on larger houses
for church, school and storage
purposes were built-all of hewn
logs. Near the mission the land
was cleared Of brush and timber
and made ready for cultivation,
and the rich prairie soil near by
felt for the first time the plow-
share of the husbandman. In
the course of two or three years
considerable progress had been
made The school was in sue
cessful operation, number of
Indian children being pupils.
Their attendance, however, was
quite often due TO presents or
other fayors rather than a desire
ON the part of their parents to
have them learn the ways of the
whites Not that the children
We're unwilling, but the parents,
from contact with the white
traders and trappers had learned
TO drive a bargain, and quite FIRE.

the attendance of their children.
The missionaries labored faith.
fully 10 convert the Indians and
lead them 70 the ways Of Christ
ianity and husbandry. A few
converts were made from time to
time among the adult population,
but the great majority of the In
dians were unmoved from the
faith OF their fathers. The cries
of Christ dying upon the cross in
eNpiation of their sins fell for the
most part on dead ears. An oc-
|casiond Indian, perhaps 10 lazy
