that come down from the broken boom
of the r. J. & B. F. Camp Lumber
Company at White Springs. which
broke last Friday night. 1t is said
that there are at least four thousand
of these logs besides the logs that the
Columbus Company had in the river
to be taken care of, but up to noon
Monday they were managing the logs
in their boom there successfully, al
though the continual rise Of the river
makes the situation very dangerous
for the lumbermen.

This country then was the small
boys paradise,-he could trap prairie
chickens and quail by day and at night
go with his larger brothers to shoot
the roosting turkeys by moonlight, al
so catch coons with his dogs and trade
the pelts to the Indians for bows and
arrows, moccasins and other trinkets.
1.-THE Indians We're soon up-to- date
in the tricks of trade. On one occasion
band Of them went to the trader and
sold coonskin. The trader threw it
behind the counter, another Indian
went behind the cabin and drew it
through a crack, brought it around and
sold it again to the trader. This they
kept up all day and after they left the
trader thought he would take an in
voice of his coonskins and found he
had but one and this one he had been
buying all afternoon.

preachers name was Arlington, and
we'll remember the impression he made

ST. John, Asia Minor and other things
which I asked my mother to explain

"At the first land sales in Burlington
my father, after he had entered all the
land he expected to- remarked in the
hearing of A. c. Dodge, who was then
young man in the land Office and a
stranger, that he had $40 left and that

other eighty acres. Mr.. Dodge re-
marked that he would loan it to him

security. This incident caused my

father was not slave holder and he
preferred to settle in what he believed
would be a free state. In the fall Of
1886 he crossed the river at Ft. Madi-
son, and went into what was called
the Black Hawk Purchase. He bought
two claims. one at the upper end of
Round Prairie and the other nine
miles east of what is now Fairfield.
He then returned to his family and

getting a crop growing. Rhodham and
his boys went to work on this land.
Where timber was scattering they
threw two burrows together with the
pillow about 33a feet apart, then crossed
the same distance apart the other way
and planted the corn at the intersec-
tions. After this they girdled the
trees, and when the corn was of suf-
ficient height to show the rows, they
plowed the ground between the burrows
and raised an immense crop-as much
as IS bushels to the acre. The product
of the garden, which was under the
dominion of the women, was equally
productive The next year the same
ground produced sixty bushels of
wheat per acre.
"All- this country was a veritable
Eden The country had an abundant
supply of wild fruit, strawberries,
blackberries, plums, grapes, dewoer-
ries. gooseberries and crab apples; al
so hazel nuts, hickory nuts and wal
nuts. 1t seemed to me to be the most
beautiful land that could be imagined,
small prairies interspersed with groves
and small bushes and all very rich
land. The woods were full of game
turkeys, prairie chickens and quail
were to be had in abundance. 1t
seemed that God was as truly in this
country as He was with the pioneer
1sraelites in ancient times protecting
them from the pursuing Egyptians at
the Red sea, that He was the God of
the plowman whom Isaiah praised
that He inspired the Hebrew bard in
the one hundred and fourth Psalm to
proclaim his praise in this country
as well as others, when he said, He
sendenth the springs into the valleys
which run among the hills He wa
tereth the hills from his chambers,
He causeth the grass to grow for the
cattle and herbs for the service of
man Truly this country at that time
was a land flowing with milk and
honey

of the other crude forms of architec-
ture which marked the early settlers
abodes.
All of the energies of the officers of
the Old Settlers association at this
time are centered on making this re-
union great success. But though at
the present they are not actively at
work raising funds for the new park
of which the cabin is to be the central
feature, this work is not forgotten nor
neglected.
At the coming reunion an active
campaign will be started and there
where many of the old settlers Of JEFF
ferson and the surrounding counties
are gathered, the subscription lists
will be circulated and other methods
of raising funds for the project will
be begun. 1t is the intention of the
officials to secure just as large sum
as possible at this time and after
wards after their own county has
been fully covered, they will push the
fovement among those interested all
through southern Iowa. 1t is under
stood that the idea of state support
will be taken up at the next term of
the legislature.
Of course if state support is secured
then the park will be more or less un-
der state control, but if not, it will be
