! She REMEMBERED the high water Of
1851, when the Warsaw ferry ran ten
miles straight across the river to the
Missouri bluffs, during all Of May and
June. During April OF that year she
said there was some bad weather sim
liar to the spell OF week ago. but in
all of her experience she never remem-
bered OF such as freezup in April as
was experienced last week.
She remembers when uae bluff ran
clear to the river where the Union
depot nov stands and of the painted
rocks there. oYerhanging the water.
When the railroad began coming
toward the city tue people expected
that the depot would be built in the
basin near Fourth and Exchange
streets. and lots IA that vicinity were
priced at $1,000
