however, the Japs have been in the

THE FIRST STEAMER
Continued from First Page.)

brow of the hill, 1876 feet above. The
name of this proposed town was
Orleans of the North, to distinguish
it from the Orleans of the South.
II was generally supposed then
that this point was at the head of
navigation on the Maumee river, and
at the western extremity of Lake
Erie The founding of this town of
Orleans of the North was the direct
cause for bringing forth the pioneer
steamboat of the lakes. In order to
put on the lake between Toledo and
Buffalo, although there was no To-
ledo here at the time.
The gentlemen who located the
town of Orleans found out their mis-
take the first year, although the town
had grown in few months until it
contained over 100 huts, cabins,
houses and 600 or 700 people. The
mistake was that they had located
the town too far up the river. 1t was
all right in the fall and spring, when
the water was high, but
=. During the Summer Months
The "Walk-in-the-W Water" could not
get within eight miles of the new
town. The bars and shoals in the
river between Toledo and Perrysburg
were so numerous that it was impos-
sible to make the trip, and the
Observation-Disclosures" discharged and
took on her cargoes at the mouth of
Swan Creek, directly under the guns
of old FIT Industry, and at the head
of Toledo's present thoroughfare,
Summit street.
Orleans of the North had to be
abandoned as the site for town, and
then the nucleus was laid for the city
of Toledo. The site of Orleans of
the North will ever remain dear to
the people of Ohio, as it was there
General William Henry Harrison de-
feated the English in 1913 and saved
the northwest 1t will also hold a
place in history as the port out of
which sailed the first steamboat to
navigate the great lakes. The seed
that brought forth the present city of
Toledo was planted when the walk
in-the-Water" was compelled to dis
charge her cargo and passengers at
the mouth of Swan Creek instead of
taking them to Orleans of the North,
and this was all brought about on
account of the low stage of water in
the Maumee that particular summer.
The steamboat property on the
great lakes today is valued at nearly
100000 and with wharves,
landings, docks, machinery, etc., up
ward of $15O,0O0, finds invest
ment from the steamboats,, and all
this had it's beginning in the walk

last December. He may be just as
free and independent as then, but he
has to work for it by the sweat of his

six days out of the week, with plenty
