TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
BACK HOLSTEIN CAUSE

Wisconsin's spectacular achieve
ment in the show ring at the recent
National Dairy Show together with
the very creditable work being done
for the breed and breeders Of the
State by the State and allied County
Holstein Associations justifies con-
siderable advertising and re-doubl-
ing of the promotion efforts in be-
half of Wisconsin cattle. This thought
in brief was upper most in the minds
of the officers and directors of the
State organization in a recent execu-
tive meeting when they authorized the
raising of a $4,000 budget fund to
be spent annually for the next few
years in the advancement Of the breed
interests of WISCONSIN Holsteins and
their owners. This fund is combined
with the membership fund for 1922
and will be collected from the breeders
and owners Of pure breds and grades
on basis of per COW tax of fifty
cents per head on pure bred females
over a year Of age and ten cents per
head on grades of like description.
The minimum amount payable by any
one is $500 while the gross amount
depends upon the number of animals
in given herd. Secretary Oldham
is charged with the responsibility of
raising the money. He viii be as

RIVER PACKET
DAYS RECALLED
Attempt to Revive Mississippi
Traffic Brings Stories of
"Good Old Times"
VOYAGE PLEASANT AFFAIR
There Was Great Rivalry Between
Boat Owners and Crews and Many
Exciting Races Were Pulled
Of-Robert {. Lee Famous.

New Orleans.-Memories of old days
on the Mississippi when stately pack
cts piled in Iassenger traffic are
revived by the resumption of traffic
between Pittsburgh, Pa, and this city
by way of the Ohio.
Barges have carried freight traffic
on the great river for many years
since the packets were driven out by
railroad competition. In the days of
Mark Twain the Mississippi packets
were celebrated for their 'eats," their
famous races, their pilots and ever
for their poker games.
1t used to be no uncommo sight
to see from 10 to 80 passenger YES
sells, from the palatial packet to the
weather-beaten tramp, leave the New
Orleans landing daily for up-river
points.
Voyages Were Pleasant.
A river voyage in the olden days
was a p~leasurable affair if the boilers
did not blow up or the vessel hit one
of the shifting sandbars, mudlumps or
hidden snags. A comfortable berth,
wonderful meals, dancing at night,
watermelon parties, well-stocked bars,
stud and draw poker games for the
patrons of that form of amusement,
and last but not least, the antics of
the negro roustabouts, all combined to
make things pleasant for the traveller.
Saturday was usually the sailing day
for up-river packets from this port.
There was great rivalry between boat
owners and crews, and usually from
one to a dozen boat races were pulled
off as the vessels chugged up the
river. 1t was then that boilers blew
up with marked frequency.
The most famous of these races was
run by the Natchez and the Robert
packets. So keen was the rivalry that
early in the seventies it was planned
to have them race from New Or
leans to st. Louis. No passengers or
freight were carried and for weeks
the coming race was the chief topic of
conversation along the river.
The Robert e. Lee was in command
of Captain Cannon, while Captain
feathers was master of the Natchez.
No stops were made except for fuel.
The trip to st. Louis was made in
just a few hours over three days, an
unheard of record then, with the Rob-
ert e. Lee the winner by a small
margin.
~-Prnpooters Ax~1Udous.
Promoters now are figuring whether
human nature has changed from the
olden days, whether a person will be
content to idle the time away on long
trips which he could make in a frac-
ton of the time by rail whether they
shave time' to take quiet pleasure.
Freight rates, interstate commerce
commission hearings, uniform bills of
lading and other prosaic commercial
matters figure in the traffic side of
the question. The passenger business
is regarded as a gamble.
