The Associated Advertising Clubs of

which has for its object the conveying

quently attacked by Indians.
Much gold was shipped from Fort
Benton also, it being said that in one
year the total value of the precious
dust to go down the river in boats
amounted to more than million and a
half dollars.
The largest number of steamers to
visit Fort Benton in one summer was
in 1866, when 40 unloaded their car
goes of merchandise there and brought
hundreds of families to the wild and
woolly' west.
River Lost to Railways.
For 80 years the Missouri river was
the great highway of the west, but with
the driving of the golden spike at Har-
rison, this state, in the SOS, which
completed the Northern Pacific rail-
way through Montana, the volume of
shipping from Fort Benton began to
diminish, and with the building of the
Great Northern railway years later, the
Missouri river lost all Importance as
an economic factor in transportation.
That the opportunity to build up a
great water route is still possible is
shown in a recent news story published
in the Kansas City Star. 1t follows:
THE Missouri river is navigable. It
is capable of being held within metes
and bounds, forced to travel in a regu-
lar channel and abandon it's habit of
shifting its channel, blocking its chan
mel, eating farm lands along its banks
and building other farm lands where
none were before. That is the belief
expressed by Major G. v. Wilkes, Unit
ed States army engineer in charge of
the Missouri river from Fort Benton,
Mont, to it's mouth above st. Louis.

about it. The average citizen would be

done by the department of agriculture.
Because no trumpets are blown we
forget, but here are some of the things
that have been done:

appropriated only SOC, 900 for the Mis-
souri, river this year.
when Major Wilkes has told you
this he then tells you what, in his cam
did opinion, is the matter with the Mis-
souri, river today, and why barge line
is not operating today between Kansas
City and st. Louis. 1t is not, he in
sists, because there is any reason, en-
cheering or economic, why the river
cannot be made navigable.
1T is because the government has
never seen fit to go ahead with the
comprehensive plan for the improve
ment of the river between Kansas City
and st. Louis which was formulated in
1912 by the Missouri river commission.
This plan called for the expenditure
Of two million dollars yearly on the,
river between here and St. Louis for a
period Of ten years. In only one year
since the plan was made has the two
million dollars been Forthcoming, how
ever. And what good is plan without
money to carry it out?
Work Already Done.
''The army engineers will take you
down the river in motor boat and
point to work which has already been
done as proving what could be done
were they granted the authority and
the money to so ahead. Here is where
a revetment, built Of willow brush and
rocked and faced with concrete blocks
has stopped the river from cuttin; here
is place on the opposite bank where
dixie, built out into the river, has
caused the river to deposit silt until
hundreds Of acres of land have been
built, the dixie itself being almost con-
cealed from view. In six or eight years
this land becomes arabic and capable
OF producing good crops. This, the en-
gineers point out. is what they could
do and have done: here is place
where the channel has been held for
several years and even landsman can
notice the different depth from the 'un-
improved sectors where the stream

There was time in the history of
the territory that is now Montana when
Fort Benton, by reason of its location
on the Missouri river, was a more i'm
pOrtant town than Great Falls, Helena
or Butte: In fact. Fort Benton was a
town before any of Montana's present
cities were more than a stretch of
prairie or tangled mountain sides.
Lewis and Clark made the first trip

err. 1t was in 1905 that they explored
that part of the river which runs
through Montana, making the trip in
crude boats and RATS. The first steam

And the only reason it is not now, they
insist, is because it has not been pos

be a terrible thing; it would make the

an outlaw stream, anyhow, it is pointed
out, and sometimes the engineer, who
has been at work on the Missouri II

old stream, the less he knows about it,
or is able to forecast what it's next
within will be. Sort of like a woman
he adds, for there are no women aboard
and it is safe to make the comment.
Two Big Reasons for the Work.
There are, of course, two great rea-
sons why the Missouri river should be
made navigable, everyone agrees. One
is that it furnishes healthy competi-
ton for the railroads, and provides
healthy curb toward rate raising tend
encies. The other is that a barge line
in operation from Kansas City to the
Mississippi river would provide wonder
full facilities for shipping grain cheaply
from the middle west to tidewater for
export. Barges loaded in Kansas City
would go to New Orleans: the annual
problem of how to move the wheat on
time could be greatly alleviated. Truck
