From Rock Island to Gulf in Row Boat

/ Alton, Ill, Oct. 2S.-Our last letter
/ to The Argus left Frank iSchnitger and
myself at quincy at which city We
had arrived after short stops at Alex
andria. Canton and LAGRANGE. We
found Quincy to be a city of $4,000
citizens, situated on a high bluff which
rises abruptly from the river and then
Idattens out into an ideal location for
city. We visited the Soldiers and
Sailors home, which is about two
miles out from The city, and were
amazed at the beauty of the place. 1t
has fine buildings and excellent
grounds all around it. Leaving Quin-
cy Monday morning at o'clock, we
set out for Hannibal, Mo, and arrived
there at PAS in the afternoon. Han
nibal Is quite a railroad center and is
growing rapidly. there being consider
able construction work in progress.
Below Hannibal we found some beau
tiful natural scenery. the banks being
high and apparently of solid rock.
Topping them are trees and other
shrubbery. which makes the whole
scene one Of beauty when the leaves
have taken on their present autumnal
hue The government takes great
quantities of rock out of the shore
along here to be used in the construc-
ton Of wing daIas and for riprappmg.
The Illinois shore at this point is a
great contrast to the Missouri shore.
It lis low and boEgy, with numerous
islands extending out into the river.
There are also many sandbars
stumps washed there by the river
Four miles below Hannibal is a Port
land cement factory. covering an area
OF one-half square mile. We arrived
at Louisiana, Mo-, at noon Tuesday.
The town is the queerest assortment
of shanties, shachs and households
that I ever saw. All of them are ele-
waited on stills and they make a
strange appearance, as the bank be-
hind them rises to a height of from
$50 to 200 feet.
1t is noticeable all the way down
from Keokuk that nearly everyone
has a power boat. The fishermen rare
ly use a skiff and rowboats are almost
a novelty. We arrived at Gainesville
at AIS Tuesday afternoon. We stayed

on our way Hamburg was sighted at
2 80 and we spent the night there and
left at the next morning. There was
a strong down stream wind and we
set our sail and made good time at
the expense of getting wet from the
spray which continually splashed over
the sides of the boat. All along the
Illinois shore there are boat landings
and we are told that this is Hancock
county, the best apple county in the
state. The landings are for shipping
the apples to all parts of the country
Through mixture of snow and rain
we passed the mouth of the Illinois
river and went on to Alton, where we
arrived at o'clock in the afternoon
Friday.
Members of the Island City Boating
association would be interested in see-
ing the many different launches and |
power boats at this city, and nearly |
anyone would be interested In the ma |
tural scenery of the place. We re-
ceived copies of the Argus for the |
past week and you can bet We read |
them through before even eating our |
suppers. We left Saturday for ST I
