of Capt. and Mrs. E. o. Patterson from Dubu-
que, Iowa, to Jeffersonville Indiana. Capt.
Patterson had completed the three tugs he
building for the War Department at the
former place and delivered them at the gov
ernment station near Kansas City, and was
then ordered to Jeffersonville to build two
boats for Lieut.. Col. Pattee, U. S. A, who is
the head of the Mississippi river commission.
Capt. and Mrs Patterson had hoped to come to
Belfast this fall, but this order of course pre-
vented. Jetfersonville is an interesting old
town, a home place for business people in
Louisville Kentucky, which is only about ten
minutes ride by ferry or trolley. Capt. Patter-
sons duties may keep him there for year.
