RIVER "REMINISCENCES.


Editor Herald: The reading of the
pioneer Renaissance of James Hayes
written by NJ Hedge, and which ap-
peared in Wednesdays issue of the
Herald, recalls to mind boyhood
days when | served as cabin boy on
the steamboat Chas. Rodgers, named
by Mr.. Hedge in the article as Cap
cain Rodgers. Mr.. Hedge has given
a very accurate description of the
steamboats, in use in those days, but

trips of the boat Chas. Rodgers. /
was boy at the time and We resid-
ed at Bentonsport, Ia, on Des
Moines river. The Rodgers Bros.
came down the river during the year
1853 in a small hand power boat.
They decided that The Des Moines
river was navigable by steamboat
and decided to purchase a boat at
Keokuk and make a trip to their
home town, ForS Dodge. They sold
the boat to myself and a friend for
SIG, and we later used the craft as
an excursion boat, taking parties
riding up and down the river. Word
came to my father that the Rodgers
Bros. had purchased a boat and l
was awarded the position of cabin
boy on their first boat, named Chas.
Rodgers. My father, the late Martin
Bacon, was employed on the boa. as
carpenter. We went to Keokuk,
joined the boat and made the first
two trips from Keokuk to Fort Dodge
and return. l remember -he first
cargo, il being 500 barrels of salt.
The first trip was made in twelve
days. The water was high and navi-
CATION at times was difficult. Upon
arriving at Fort Dodge the Rodgers
Bros. gave the people of their city
several rides on the new boat, TAX.
ing them up and down the river.
Four or five days were spent in this
manner. On our return during he
first trip we were forced to remain
at Des Moines five days on account
Of high water The boat would not
pass under the bridge and nothing
was to do but wais for the water to
recede. On the second trip a mixed
cargo of merchandise was carried

80 cEMrsR OF POPULATION.

An eastern statistician, who has
treated the census returns to a close
analysis, has discovered that the cen
ter of population has stopped on its
western journey and has started back
east again. The large number of i'm,
migrants who arrived in this country
and remained in the east are held re-
sponsible for this showing. The east
ern man says:
IAN analysis of the census returns
indicates that for the first time in the
history of the nation the center o.
population may move from west tc
east. When the first census was
taken in 1890. the center of popuIa
ton was found to be twenty-three
miles west of Baltimore. 1t has NOV,
ed westward steadily, and in 1900
was twenty-five miles west OF Column
bus, Ind, distance of sos miles from
the starting point. The longest move
taken, in any decade was eighty-ont
miles, from Parkersburg, w. Va, to
Chillicothe, o., from 1850 to 1850.
The farthest south the center has
reached was a point sixteen miles
north of Woodstock, Va, attained in
1920, when the country had popu-
lation of 100000.
"An examination of the returns just
made public shows that during the
last decade there was total gain OF
1877, 691 In continental United
States. The states east of Indiana,
along with the District of Columbia,
show an increase of 7,224,S60, or al
most half the total for the country.
That does not take into account the
gains in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky
Tennessee and Alabama, amounting
in all to 1,ISS,905, and most of which
is east of line drawn through Co
lumbus, Ind. The gain east of that
town seems to have been greater
than in the territory west OF it
There is reason to believe that when
the computations have been made,
1t will be found that the center OF
population has moved south and 9
little east.

boat the whistle blew. The cable
pared at one stroke and the boat
then passed up the river. Unfortun.
ately the cable caught on the ship
and came near drawing it into the
bridge below. Had the boat struck
.he bridge 1t surely would have been
overturned.
Another interesting occurrance in
my boyhood days was our trip from
our former home ut Beverly, Wash
ington county, Ohio, We hoated
down the Ohio and Mississippi to
Keokuk and were towed up the Des
Moines river. Our household goods
we're landed on Des Moines river
west of oskaloosa, just above where
the bridge now crosses the river at
the Henry home.
