STEAMERS
RAN THE RIVER
Names Of Boats Which Went Up and
Down the Des Moines Years
Ago.


An old settler living at Douds-Lean-
do, recalls the old steamboat days of
the Des Monies river as follows:
Speaking Of steamboats, recalls to
the mind Of the writer his boyhood
days when steamboats, we're a regular
feature on the Des Moines river in the
early spring and summer months, and
when there would be as many as three
at one time tied to the snubbing
posts at Portland, where there was a
woodward on the south side Of the
river. and coaling station on the
north side in front Of the dwelling OF
Elijah Doud and few rods below the
Douds-Leando bridge and Peter Stof-
fel, old time Portland merchant would
receive his goods per steamboat from
st. Louis: and we were SO familiar
with the sound OF the exhaust Cor puff
fing as us boys termed IT. that we
could tell the name OF the boat ap-
preaching long before we would hear
the whistle or 1t would come in sight,
and well do we remember one spring
in the latter fifties while recovering
from lone Illness caused by typhoid
fever and the bright sunshiny days
had come and We were able to be tax
en- out on the porch of the hewed log
house, (there was a distinction in
those days between house and cab
In; II the logs were put In their
native state and the roof made
OF clapboards that was a cabin.
IL the logs were hewn and the
roof made Of shingles that was a
house.) The house was near the river
and after being made as comfortable
as possible, the one thing that kept us
in good spirits was watching for the
boats, as they plowed their way up or
down the beautiful river. We can see
them as they glide along. How many
Of the names can recall always first
in the spring was the Col. Morgan;
and then there was the Edwin Man
ming, Clara Hine, Alice, Des Moines
City. Delta, Badger State, Millburn,
and think the Flora Temple made a
trip or two but she was too large for
this river.

Keokuk Camp No. 622 Of the Modern
Woodmen at the regular meeting last
evening voted to contribute $3.50 for a
Keokuk tent at the Modern Woodmen
Eanatorium at Colorado Springs.
The Camp some time ago made an
appropriation Of s25 for the sanator-
ium, but last evening decided to have
a Keokuk tent out there and voted the
balance of the money necessary. A
committee was appointed to solicit
part Of the fund from the membership
the balance to be taken out Of the
treasury In case the entire amount is
not raised by the committee.
The members of the camp believe
that the money is a good investment
for the tent will be used by some
member of the order who is suffering
from tuberculosis and who may great
~ benefit from it. Perhaps some Keo-
kuk man will get to use the tent after
1t Is erected.

It is conducted only for members OF

have 1t is a matter of great pride
to the Colorado Statesman, that
coming from slavery at the bidding
of Lincoln, the Negro has asked fo'
nothing but vork By means OF
his splendid muscle and awakening
brain he is building his way up
through race prejudice to race
greatness. He lays his hand to the
plough and looks not back. He
is paying the great debt of Lin
coin by his splendid citizenship. In
the brief interval of forty-six years
he has learned his place in the
economy of the nation and he is
working out the problem.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-02-20

organized here among some of the
prominent colored citizens for the
purpose of presenting Senator
Foraker with silver loving cup
as testimonial of the love and es
teen in which he is held by the en-
tire race. 1t is the purpose of the
committee to make this loving cup
national race emblem, typifying
the gratitude the colored people
feel is due Senator Foraker not
only for the true service rendered
the race as well as to humanity in
the Brownsville case, but as a
grateful appreciation for his whole
public career which has been con-
sistently devoted to the welfare
and uplift of the colored people.
The names of those contributing
will be enrolled upon parchment
paper and presented to the Sena-
tor along with the silver loving
cup. The committee hopes to
have all the subscriptions in by
February 10Th, in order to have
appropriate engravings made.

London, Feb. 11.-An attempt
to draw the color line, creating a
new departure in this country,
met with signal failure today at
Birmingham, where an effort was
made to exclude Negro student
of the university from the local
skating rink. The incident arous-
ed a heated controversy. The stu
dents took up the Negro's cause
and hired lawyer to oppose the
renewal Of the rink's license. The
management of the rink apologized
in court today and promised not to
make any race distinction in the
future.
