DOWN MISSOURI
in SMALL BOAT

Recently arriving from the state
of Washington, Tom West, at Fort
Benton, Montana, is busily engaged
in building a boa in which he plans
to float down the Missouri river to
the Mississippi, there to continue
his water journey until he ties UP
at New Orleans. He expects to
make the trip alone and will make
preparations for a long voyage. He
stated that the trip was the realiza-
ton of a dream of many years. and
that he had anticipated it since he
talked to a man who had made the
same trip a long time ago, and who
gave him a vivid idea of the plea
sure of his voyage.
Mr.. West is making the trip
alone, not that he cannot find a
companion, but because he says it
is seldom one can find one who
can spare all the time necessary to
make this trip and to take life asy
on the downward journey. He says
he has no idea how long he will be
on his way. and Furthermore he
does not care, be it three months
or a year. He plans on sailing with
the current down the moonlit stream
and anchoring his tiny craft on
some inviting point in natures mid
continent wonderland as the spirit
moves him.
However. he will not altogether
depend on the tickle current for his
power as he is installing an Evin-
rude motor to be used when occa-
sion demands.
The boat, which will be a sturdy
river craft, was shipped to Fort
Benton in knock-down form from
Michigan and is six feet wide and
Is feet long. 1t will be provided

Fingers Used Instead of Ports and
