mission will be known officially

Security and will make its final
report by December 81. 1856.
Some congressman think that this
bill was one of the most impor-
tant of the entire session in the
domestic field.
Provisions of legislation to as
sure civil rights were observed in
the military reserve bill were
side-tracked by the Congress in
the final passage of that bill. Rep.
Adam Clayton Powell %, N. "
held up the bill in vain in the
House of Representatives in an
attempt to assure Negroes equal
treatment in reserve units. Other
attempts were made to implement
the spirit of the Supreme Court
decision on public school integra-
ton, but here too the provision
were side tracked to allow for
passage of the bill.
Reduction in economic assist
ance to Israel during fiscal year
1856 was interpreted by high gov
eminent officials as a sign Of Is
rael's increasing economic 'stabil-
itY and self-sufficiencY. Harold
Strassen. former director of the
foreign aid program which dis
tributed economic and technical
assistance to Israel. predicted that
economic conditions in Israel will
become normal in five years.
Congress in providing funds for
the Mutual Security program
made no efforts to cut amounts
for the Middle East which include
the funds for Israel. Furthermore,
in approving the foreign aid legis-
lation this year, Congress went on
record as recognizing that eco
nomic and technical assistance
will be permanent part of U. S
foreign policy.

navigated by fat-boats but by that
year so many mill dams had been
built that the fiat-boats no longer
could make it. So came the keel boats
to replace them. The keel boats were.
built like the later canal boats but
were sharper and smaller. Loaded
with produce or goods taken by busi-
ness men in lieu of money, the keel
boats went south as far as Vicksburg
and New Orleans but unlike the fiat
boats which had to be torn up and
their timbers sold at their destination,
could come back. They returned load
ed with sugar, molasses, and other
products of the South.
The first flat-boat had been launch
ed in winter, 1899, near McDonald's
creek by David Lowry. The first keel
boats were built in 1909 by Paul D.
Butler and Henry Deshrew. They
built two of the boats-put up on the
street in front of the court house at
Dayton and moved on rollers up Main
street to the river and launched.
The keel boats went up the Great
Miami as far as the Laramie portage,
at ST. Marys, where one was taken
out of the river and carried IL miles
to the st. Marys River through which
it reached the Maumee and the Great
Lakes. One of the boats afterwards
operated between the Ohio River and
the portage and the other piled be-
tween the portage and Lake Erie. A
freight line which did good business
thus was established between Dayton
and Lake Erie through the Miami,
Auglaize and Maumee rivers. So Day
ton often was referred to as "The
Port of Dayton. The expression was
colloquial
Little of the freight lines cargo
originated at or was destined for Gin
cinnati. The Great Miami between
Dayton and the latter place was filled
with sunken logs, submerged trees,
sand bars and shadows - passage
through it was difficult.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1955-12-15

During the last week Of March,
1919, eight fat-boats and one large
keel boat loaded at Dayton showed off
for the markets below and several
fiat-boats laden with -four, pork and
whisky from points to the north also
passed through Dayton bound for the
South. This year a second line of keel
boats was established out Of Dayton,
using the same route to North and
South.
In May, 1919, large keel boat 70
feet long and with IL tons of mer-
chandise on board, arrived from Gin
cinnati. The boat, owned by H. G..
Phillips and Smith & Baker, was the
first for many years that had been
able to get through the treacherous
river below Dayton and reach that
port.
Saturday and Sunday, March 26
and 27, 1926, were memorable days in
Dayton. A feet of more than 80 boats
marooned there by low water left their
moorings and left for New Orleans.
Rain had begun to fall on Wednesday
and had continued until Friday when
the river rose.
On Saturday the town was busy.
Wagons loaded with flour, pork, whis-
ky and other products rolled steadily
through town hauling freight to the
boats strung along the river. On Sun
day morning others came down and
the river began to fall. Several more
boats from the North had arrived
during Saturday and next day all got
under way carrying about $4,000
worth of freight. A dollar was worth
much more then than it is today. The
whole value that left Dayton during
that freshet was computed to be
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1955-12-15

around 100000. Some Of the boats
were stove and flour was damaged
but most of them reached destination
safely.
In February, 1927, twelve boats Of
flour, pork and whisky left Dayton
for New Orleans, their cargoes worth
about $4,000. In February, 1923, the
last boat loaded with produce for New
Orleans left Dayton.
The next year freight began to be
shipped south by canal but until 1886
when the canal was opened to Piqua,
the line of boats from Dayton TO the
North was continued, So goes the
story of the Miami Port of Dayton.
