HAULING GRAIN
ON The RIVER

Washburn, N. D.. June 23.-Boats
OF the Benton Packet Co. of Bismarck
are active this summer in. hauling
wheat from inland points up the river
to the 500 elevator at Washburn, and
each boat that arrives brings five car
loads Of grain, all Of which is wheat.
Captain Bolk with the Expansion
boat and Captain Grant Marsh with
the Bismarck boat have just arrived
here each bringing 5000 bushels Of
wheat. This grain is loaded in bulk
in the open docks of the boats and is
placed In the elevator here by being
elevated through a marine into the
elevator bins.
Washburn is made the terminus for
the boats bringing the grain as it is
the first railroad point the boats reach.
Capt. /. j.. Baker, Of Bismarck, and
managing director of the Benton
Packet Co. has built a large grain
elevator at Deapolis, a point on the
Stanton extension of the north branch
of the Northern Pacific running out Of
Bismarck on the west side of the
Missouri river, and it is believed that
In q short time a portion OF this grain
will be unloaded at that point. There
is plenty of high water in the Missouri
river at the present time and the boats
make good time in bringing down
these big loads Of grain.
Captain Grant Marsh and Captain
Bolk are two of the eldest Missouri
river pilots living today. Captain
Marsh was plying the Missouri river
when the first boats came up here,
and he also made early trips up the
Yellowstone river over into Montana,
transporting troops to the frontier
government barracks during the days
of Indian warfare.
Captain Bolk started plying the
waters of the Missouri river out Of
ST. Louis as 1868, and took river boats
into Bismarck and Pierre, S. D., dur
ing Indian days before there had been
any towns started along the river.
and years before the railroads pene-
trated this section OF the northwest.
Both of these old veterans are still in
perfect health, and their adventures
today along the old Missouri river
seem like pleasure trips to them.
