sengers and about Is deck passen-
gers. They were prospectOrs going
out to hunt gold, or else men who
wanted to get away from the states
because of the troubled condition in
cident- to the war. d.
GAS we glided along the prairies
we could see countless buffalo, deer
and elk grazing in the distance. When
we ran out of meat the boat would
land and hunting expedition would
be organized. It was no trouble to
find the game.
Once we ran into a big herd OF
buffaloes crossing the river. Look
ing at them from a distance it look
ed as If the earth was moving. The
water was full of them. Some Of the
passengers began shooting at them,
but as it was a wanton thing the
captain threatened to stop the boat
and put any man ashore who shot
them for sport.
while passing through the herd
the engineer and some of the crew
reached over and managed to capture
a couple of baby buffaloes, lifting
them on the boat by their ears. They
were slowed away on the deck and
brought safely into St. Louis.
1.-The day we reached Fort Benton
the soldiers were so glad to see us
that they ran about shooting their
revolvers in the air and cheering.
Ours was the first boat that had been
in that year. It had taken US just
ninety days to make the trip. We
had met. with no mishap; had not
seen an Indian, and were so sure
that we would not see any that we
left the cannon at the fort.
when we started out on our home
trip we had not gone very far before
Captain Rhea detected something 60
ing wrong in the pilot house while
Joe Holman was on duty. 1t seemed
as II Joe couldn't hold the rudder
steady and the boat wanted to butt
into the land whenever we passed
through a rough place.
"Joe was one of the best pilots
that ever guided steamboat on the
western waters. In the early days Of
the civil war he was on duty one
night in the pilot house of the. Glas-
Cow on the Cumberland river. We
had orders to run the blockade and
deliver a quantity Of provisions to
the Federal soldiers who were be-
sieged in Clarksville by confederates.

UP THE MISSOURI
RIVER IN 1864
A LIVELY SIX THOUSAND MILE
TRIP TO FORT BENTON AND
y
BACK.
The Stern Wheel Steamboat Stamped
ed Herd of BuffalOes-There Was
Fight With Indians and Nota-
ole Game of Poker Took Place on
q Board.

Macon, Mo.-John Scovern, pres1-
dent Of the State Exchange Bank Of
Macon, was q clerk on the steamer
Benton, which cleared the port of St.
Louis in April, 1864, and covered
5000 miles before it's return in Sep
TENDER. On that long cruise, posi-
bly, one of the longest ever made on
western waters, the Benton stamped
ed a herd of buhtaloes, took part In
redhot Indian'f1ght and was the scene
of a notable poker game.
Dakota and Montana were largely
wildernesses at that period, overrun
with Indians, and large game. On
the upper decks of the Benton were
two cannon, and there were several
other cannon below. The crew was
equipped with rifles and double bar
rel shotguns. When the steamer was
ready to start it looked like vessel
going to war; All the talk was about
Indians and the chances of getting
scalped.
The Benton carried provisions for
the soldiers at the various forts along
the Missouri river and great stacks
Of newspapers and books. 1t was
lonely llfe out there in the far west
on the frontiers, and the government
knew that its isolated soldiers would
rather have reading matter than to
have gold.
During the first few weeks of the
trip the Benton spent most of its
time on sand bars, but when it got
further up the river it met the June
rise, and from that time on naviga-
ton was fairly easy" said Mr.. Scov-
ern. :'Our boat burned wood, and
until we reached Sioux City our cap-
tain patronized the various wood
yards along the river. When we
cleared Sioux City we were In the

JOAN OF ARC.
PRESS SUPT.

The rehcarsals for Joan Of Arc are
going splendidly-the chuors is more
enthusiastic over it than over any pre-
vious production of an Oratorio in the
town.
The music is highly descriptive and
brings out the thought of the text in
beautiful fashion
The Ave Maria in this Oratorio is tc.
garded as one Of the finest bits of choice
writing-ancient or modern-the world
has ever heard. The work was first per
formed in Birmingham, Eng, with
stupendous success. The production of
this Oratorio will prove a rare treat to
DeLand Music lovers. An excellent
Orchestra combine with the piano and
organ in accompanying the sin ers.
Joan of Arc is the first event of the Ly-
ceum course. Remember the date,

BONDING FOR HARD ROADS.

THE News is in favor of bonding
Volusia county for the purpose Of build
ing hardroads. Because; Bonding
gives us the money for immediate Use
and allows us to pay it back while we
are getting the Use Of the roads for
which the money is spent.
But before VIC agree to support any
bonding proposition, several things
must be settled
Firstly whom is the money to be
spent,
Second-How is the money to be
spcnt' (What roads are to be improved
and what material is to be uscdO
Third-For many years the people Of
Volusia county have been heavily taxed
and the money spent on roads. A road
would be improved one year and aban-
doncd for another route the year follow
ing. This is all right for small man
a man may have to put up with small
engine this year, knowing that he needs
larger and more expensive one to do
the best work He may have to buy
the cheaper piece of machinery use it
year or two, then discard it for better
machine. 1t is the same in a city, a
county or State. But our roads have
in the past been built hap-hazzard,
wherever and whenever member of
the board Of County Commissioners
listed. The time has come when we
must build permanently and with
view to the future. Good roads are no
longer an expcriment-they are
necessity to a civilized community.
Before a bond issue is submitted, an
experienced civil engineer should be
employed, and he with the board,
should map out a permanent system of
roads ramifying the county. 1t NAV
mott probably will not--bc possible
to build all the roads at once, or within
the next five or ten years; but the plan
should be drawn to meet future needs
for many years to come. There
should be main lines of roads, built of
the very best material, that will last
for generations, or at least until the |
bonds are paid for; there should be
laterals, running from the main roads, |
built of a cheaper grade of material;
there should be third and even a
fourth grade road, connecting the small
er settlements-and thus bcnetiting the
greatest possible number of people.
AT an expense Of about $500, 900, we
have built road across the county
that is today barely more than a strca!:
of dust and holes. 1t is going to ruin
for the want Of proper attention. The
commissioners state that there is no
money available with which to make re.
pairs. If we cannot care for SIoo, 900

when we add S2so,ooo worth OF roads to
Our present troubles

minds Of many Of our largest taxpayers
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of building more

too expensive to maintain. Shall Vo.

they are built:
