J Mayor Moorhead has received q let
ter from James H. Preston, mayor Of
Baltimore, Md, asking that some
recognition of the centennial OF the
writing of the song Star Spangled
Banner by Francis Scott Key be TAX
Y en- by Keokuk Baltimore is planning
Ia weeks celebration from September
is to 13. The mayor in his letter to
Mayor Moorhead recognizes the fact
that all will not be able to attend the
Baltimore centennial. So he suggests
| that general display of the national
co,ors be made centennial week.
The Star Spangled Banner was writ
ten by Key while a prisoner on a
british ship. The song was written
during the ombardment of Baltimore,
and his eagerness to catch glimpse
of the flag flying over the fortresses.
and his relief at the repulse of the
British led him to pen this song
which has been made the national air
by the navy department, and is recog-
nized as such by all patriotic So
icieties.
The following is the letter from the
Baltimore mayor urging tina. the week
be recognized in Keokuk:
Baltimore Md, 1914.
Hon. S. w. Moorhead, mayor of
Keokuk, Keokuk, Iowa. Dear Sir: In
September of this year will occur the
Tooth anniversary of the birth of the
Star Spangled Banner" and the
achievement OF American independ-
ence. Both these events were made
possible by the successful defense OF
Baltimore against the Britigh and
that they may be fittingly comment
GRATED, we will hold from September
&c to IS, a celebration that will excel
all others OF like character. For
more than year, the citizens OF Bar
timore have been working diligently
to complete plans that are In keeping
with the high dignity OF the anniver-
sary. Thousands from all sections
will come to our city to pay homage
to the author and the song that has
never failed to thrill with pride the
heart OF every loyal American.
But while this gathering will be
great in numbers, throughout the
land, there will be millions who will
find II impossible to come. It is only
proper, therefore,, that some steps
should be taken to make them feel
that they have a part in the great ma
tional celebration. 1t seems to me
that no better method could be
adopted to bring this about than to
have the national Standard the
Stars and Stripes flying over
every public building. business insti-
tuition and residence In every city dur
ing the entire celebration. To you,
the chief executive Of your city, l ap-
peal for cooperation, and feel sure
that the general use Of the American
flag during centennial week will not
only aid the cause of patriotism but
present to the world a striking pic
ture Of the strength, purity and loyal
ty of which the "heaven-born banner"
is the emblem.

Old Iowa Times
Capt. william HlIihouse Again.

Sunday morning under the caption
which heads this story, The Gate City;
gave the substance of portion OF an
address delivered by Capt. William
HilIhouse. one of the early pioneers
Of Iowa. This address as stated was
delivered at tri-state old settlers
meeting held at Rand park October
2, 1854, nearly thirty years ago, and
remember IN reading this, he was
talking thirty years ago and when he
said something happened forty years
ago, thirty years must be added in
order to get the event mentioned in
its proper date. In the portion here
presented he gives some interesting
facts concerning the Indians mode OF
life and the methods adopted by the
pioneer traders among the red men.
Continuing his remarks from those
reported Sunday, Captain Hillhouse
said that In the winter of 1S43 he
started out on collecting tour among
the Sac and Fox Indians. It was
their custom to leave the villages late
in the fall with bag and baggage and
stay out on hunting and trapping
expedition until spring. They would
go in squads Of from Ave to ten fami-
lies and camp and hunt and trap to-
gethsr, all along the Des Moines,
Skunk, Cedar and Turkey rivers.
Most of the families would make ac-
counts at the trading house before
starting on the hunt, payable in furs
and pelts on their return in the
spring. About the first OF Dec smber
the clerks of the different trading
houses would draw of a schedule OF
individual accounts and strike out to
hunt them up and gather In the col
lections of otter. beaver and deer
skins, 80 as to settle up their indebt-
edness. We would travel up and
down and across those rivers mention
ed many times through the winter
until we could load several ponies
packed with pelts and furs taken on
account from our customers. We al
ways made 1t convenient to know
where the Indians were camped for
we depended on them for our subsist-
ence. as we'll as lodging. We gener-
ally made ourselves at home when
we entered the wigwams, demanding
something to eat and ordered our
ponies taken out to browse, and gener-
ally took choice Of the sleeping depart
ments, and we're we'll entertained as
long as we visited the camp. In trav-
cling from one stream to another we
would find innumerable small lakes as
thay lay glimmering upon the plain.
This portion Of the country, forty-two
years ago (seventy-two years ago,
with the thirty years added) was
then the home of the Sac and Fox
tribes OF Indians. Here they lived In
their characteristic lain sss and saw
age glory. The woods abounded with
game and the rivers and lakes with
fish, and he (the Indianl took them
" 'thout fear or contention. What Is
the condition of that beautiful plain
today? Dotted with innumerable
cities, checkered with railroads, every
quarter section taken for agricultural
purposes, fine improved farms. which
constitute the garden spot OF the
great northwest, second to none, pro-
ducing fine cattle, big crops Of corn,
wheat, oats. barley, raised by the sec
ond class of pioneers and old settlers.
