OLD STEAMER Usage

ued all night without interruption I'M
til four o'clock in the morning.
1t was then observed that the mar
row stream was not wide enough by
ten feet to turn the boat around.
Every available tool was put into use
by deckhands and the bank of the
river was dug down low enough to al
low the stern of the boat to back into
it, and by the aid of ropes and cap
stan the turn was made.
The unloading was completed, and
at FIVE o'clock the race for deep water
began. The wood supply was running
low when woodward was seen in the
distance on the bank, some thirty
miles below Suns Point No time was
lost in tying up and appropriating all
the wood in the yard, and the little
steamer was on her way to escape
the shallow water. The mouth of the
Usage below Jefferson City was
reached before noon the following
day.
Major Melton left his brother In
charge of the salt at Suns Point, and
in week he had sold the last of his
boatload Of salt and was returning
with $4,000. representing the profit
Of the trip.

Cargo of Salt Yields Good Profit
to Boat Owner.
Craft Goes Upstream in Flood, but
the Crew Has 10 Dig into the
River Bank in Order to
Turn Around

Clinton, Mo.-How steamboat
once navigated the waters of the
Usage river, delivered cargo of salt
at Suns Point, Kan, and made good
profit on the deal is told here by
Richard F'uQua, carpenter, who was
the boats carpenter on the trip and
for several years after. Now the once
navigable Usage river is prize
sought by water power men and pro-
motors, and Kansas, instead of import
ing salt, is exporting it.
The steamboat was itself named the
Usage. The hull was laid and launched
at Linn Creek in the winter of 1867
by the owners, who were residents of
Linn Creek. The hull was towed to
st. Louis, where the boat was finished.
1t was $50 feet long, % feet wide, and
when loaded to its capacity of zoo
tons drew nearly three feet of water.
1t was pronounced the finest little
boat afoat in its day, with a cabin
capacity of seventy-fve passengers,
double engines, double boilers and
side wheels. 1t was sold to Captain
AScb1AlDCiL, vi INC" IOlht oil
boat man, who later traded it to Maj.
r. H. Melton of Warsaw, Mo, for Ben
ton county land, the consideration be-
ing $4,000.
Major Melton placed Elijah Melton,
his brother, in charge as clerk, and
the Usage made regular trips for eight
months in the year from st. Louis up
the Usage river, often as far as Pap
insville, in Bates county, Missouri, but
more frequently going to Osceola, St
Clair county.
The Civil war had destroyed the
boating service on the Usage river,
and salt was SO scarce that a pound
would sell at times for 81. Major Mel
ton found plenty of salt at st. Louis in
1857, which had come from Michigan
down the Mississippi. He knew if he
could get it to the western counties
OF Missouri the people would pay
handsome profit for it. With George
Crawford, an Usage river pilot, the
boat was loaded to it's capacity with
salt in barrels and sacks, and the voy-
age began.
AT osCeoid me news Gains lndt
heavy rains for a week at the head
waters of the Usage in Kansas would
keep the river at high water mark;
and Crawford, the daring Usage river
pilot, said he would try for Suns Point,
or failing he could stop at Bell View.
a few miles below.
Suns Point was reached at four
o'clock on the afternoon Of the fol-
lowing day, and the river bank was
full. but very narrow. 1t was SO full
that the presence of the boat forced
the water out of it's banks on to the
low land. In an hour the water began
to fall, and all hands rolled off the
salt. Everybody who would work was
hired to nelp The unloading contin-
