MISSOURI RIVER
CONSUMES BOATS
Big Muddy is the Burying
Place for many Steam Crafts

|
from Fort Benton, Mont, to St.
Louis is one vast burying ground
for wrecked steamboats,.
The report of the Missouri
river Commission, made to con-
gress in 1897 shows that in the
palmy days of navigation, a
period of about thirty years, the
old Missouri swallowed up river
crafts at the rate of something
like one every month,
According to the report of
Captain H. Chittenden of that
commission, made in 1897 (navi-
CATION on the Missouri was
practically suspended ten or
fifteen years previous to that
date) 295 river crafts have been
lost while navigating the Mis-
souri,. The report shows that
navigation was driven from the
Missouri river by loss of boats
and the uncertainty of the busi-
ness as much or more than by
the competition of the railroads.
No figures are obtainable as to
the value of the lost boats and
their cargoes, but in dollars and
cents the loss must have been
enormous. Even now, half a
century after some of these
steamboats, were lost, their
wrecks can be seen along the
banks, or sometimes they are
found miles from the present
stream.
Two years ago the silver name
plate of the old Stephen A. Bell
was found out in a corn field ac-
cross the river from Omaha.
The Bell was burned in 1859
while tied up at a wharf at Coun-
Gil Bluffs. But where the river
ran in those days is now corn
field.
Another Missouri boat that
burned while at Omaha was the
City of Province. This was one
of the fastest boats on the river,
but late in the 7O's, while racing
up from Nebraska City to Oma-
ha with freighter. the Province
caught fire. 1t was beached on
the Iowa side of the stream
Several days ago Capt. Edward
f. Thorp Of Maplewood, No.,
came to Omaha and attempted to
locate the old wreck and recover
600 jugs of whiskey which were
lost with the boat. He was un-
able to do so, however and the
liquor, now very valuable be-
cause of it's age, is still buried in
the sands of some Iowa corn
field.
Five OR six years ago there was
recovered from an old wreck
some miles below Omaha three
barrels of whiskey. The boat
which carried the whiskey was
lost in the early sixties. 1t was
covered up by the river and
during a spring freshet was ex.
posed after half century.
The Urilda went down at Kate
Sweeney Bend, S. d., in 1868.
Her cargo was made up mostly
of barrels of whiskcy. Numer-
Gus attemps were made to locate
the wreck and recover the liquor
but none was successful. The
whiskey is buried somewhere
along the Kate Sweeney Bend.
The Kate Sweeney Bend got
It's name from the first boat tina,
foundered there. In 1855 the
boat Kate Sweeney was coming
down the river from Fort Pierre
bound for St. Louis. She was
loaded with furs consigned to
her owner, Pierre Chouteau Of
St. Louis.
At the famous bend, however
she struck a snag ard sank ir

The local played a good game
and were it not for the fourth inning
the game might still be in session.
AS it was however Slidell won the
game in that inning when she scored
three runs. Bogalusa was not able
