THE RIVER BANK
AT BIRDS POINT
ByJ. S. Hacker

The Cara and Fulton r. r. was
the first enterprise after the Indians
and farmers that discovered the
river bank at Birds Point was not
permanent. This railroad had its
terminus at Birds Point before the
rebellion and for military reasons
was torn UP leaving an engine and
two passenger coaches standing on
the rails near the river. From this
time to the present want to go back
into the neighboring farms with the
river to trace the doings OF the
bank and keep up with its since that
time ever changing location.
1t was not long until this engine
and these coaches were very near the
bank of the river and the hopeless
ness of saving them from a watery
grave began to be talked about,
Ait that time our late lamented fell
low citizen, Capt Jack Hodges was
running a ferry boat called the
Rockford, between Cairo and Birds
Point. Taking advantage of The
public interest or more properly
speaking the curiosity Of the people
to see this engine and coaches and

months Of 1907 to take the place OF

were in many forms, from the clearing

Another of the first purchasers was
Mrs. Eunetia Candee. who bought
the southeast corner OF Washington
Avenue and Fourth street on Deem
Der %, 1853, the date of the pur-
chase by Messrs. Stapleton and How
ley, and in the spring she began
building a residence, about the time
John Howley started his house.
Her son, Henry II. Candee, then a
youth of 20, while watching the
workmen on the Iiowley building,
took a fancy to some neat pressed
brick, brought from Evansville, that
was being used for tlues and columns,
and asked the owner to let him have
enough of these brick to top off his
hues, agreeing to give common brick
in place of them. The request was
granted.

them in the hope that they might
see them tumble into the river,
Capt. Hodges made frequent excur-
sions.
The erosion of the bank
continued and In a short time into
the water they went.
1t was not long until they became
an obstruction in the channel, but
the rapid and continued erosion soon
made room for the boats to pass in
side Of them. Then as the river
continued to devour the bank and
eat its way back into the clearings
and cultivated fields the bar on the
Illinois side followed up and the
railroad rolling stock that had stood
upon the shores of Missouri was now
EMBEDDED in the shores of Illinois.

DR., VIM Wood came to Cairo IN
the fall of 1852 In 1850 he had
graduated from Dartmouth college.
and then entered an eastern Medical
College, where he received his d.
ploma in 1852 Before deciding up-
on his future course, the young
medico went to visit his brother,
Charles, then resident of st. Louis.
While there he met Col. S. S. Taylor,
local trustee of the Cairo City Prom
erty Company, who had gone to ST.
Louis on business mission. After
short conference, Col Taylor induced
the Doctor to locate in Cairo and en-
ployed him to act as instructor of
his sons Gus and Balm. DR.. Wood
was also an early purchaser of Cairo
lots, selecting the lot on the north
east corner Of Washington Avenue
and Third street, which he acquired

building with two others adjoining,
which he had built about the same
time, was wiped out in the big fire

in our previous article. DR.. Wood re-

wise engineers came and went and
tried various things without success
| They knew kow to lay track
levels and curves but when they
came to Birds Point to stop the raw
ages of the Mississippi river they
were not-in-it Not knowing what
| else TO do they dumped train loads OF
| rocks into the river which later be-
come distractions in the channel.
| AT one time there was huge piles OF
| rocks obstrueting the channel Mt
Birds Point This dumping OF rocks
continued until one David Neal APP
peared on the scene He came high
cessful. it was said. in protecting
the banks of the Missouri river. He
/ had a round construction of will
lows that was supposed to gather
sediment and build to the bank, He
worked at Birds Point year with
out success.
After Meals failure the Z S. En-
gineer put in short piece of rip
rap, which was only make-sh.ft
and of no permanent benefit.
At this time the original incline
built by the Iron Mountain bad been
out of use for several years, the APP
proaeh to it having been cut away,
and the road was using an incline
further down the river which had
been built by the Cotton Belt, that
road having been built into Birds
Point for sometime.
The Iron Mountain had put in
train loads of rock at the head OF
their incline which resisted the
river at that point but the erosion
continued above it until it stood out
into the river as point or spur
dyke.
The cause of the loss of the in |
clines yards and buildings the go
ing into the river of Birds Point
about three years ago when the
erosion amounted to 1000 feet in |
sixty days was due in past to this
rock point. The river had been well {,
up for quite a while and the sand !
bar on the shoulder of Angeles Tow
head had built out with its point |
directed to the rock pile, The erosion |
above the rock pile had continued
until the flow of water which was
directed into the bend by the shape !
of the bar on Angeles Towhead and
the the Missouri shore below Green
fields had to make turn at right
angle to get around the rock point. |
When these conditions had been es-
tablished by the flow of the water a
sharp rise in the river took place and
the rapid current and volume of
water was more than the rock point
could stand 1t gave way and every
thing followed so rapidly that many
houses were washed in-little or
chards, gardens hay barns and
homes.
This fall after the town, the rail-
road buildings and yards have gone
into the river the Z. s. engineers
come to the rescue" Their work
is not conducted on "a stitch in time
saves nine" plan. If 1t was there
would be saving of millions of dol
lars in the work on the Mississippi
river
Whether the river bank at Birds
Point will be arrested in the erosion
of all these years depends not upon
the character of the work but upon
the extent of it. What they are do
ing is well done, but the entire bend
must be ripraped and reveted to hold
