Ky. ‘The first hundred years appar ently are the hardest in the develop mem of Hie Ohio,” says a bulletin of the National Geographic society from its headquarters In Washington "Next year, 1927, will be the hun dredth anniversary of tiie govern ment's efforts to improve Hie Ohio which began witli channel clearing in 1827. Tiie year 1929 will he the fif tietli anniversary of tiie first of the 52 dams and locks which are expected to make tiie Ohio more useful as a waterway. Canoes Earliest Traffic. “There will lie celebrations of the Ohio’s anniversaries. Probably there will lie flotillas of boats. Much of the four great cycles of the Ohio’s life as a waterway is known by a boat. Hut w hat a motley collection The only thing they have in common is that they float. For a hundred years after the Ohio’s discovery by La Salle in 1670, the native Indian canoe reigned supreme. Tiie tlatlioat for 50 years. Then boat building flowered in the building of floating palace steamboats. Hut the Civil war stopped | that. The Ohio river of today is chiefly a river of barges. "The Ohio river's story falls easily Into pageants. Land with Monsieur Celoron de Bienville at the bank where the Scioto comes Into the Ohio. Watch him bury at the foot of u great tree an inscribed lead plate lie brought from Montreal. His 200 Indians and soldiers of France have drawn tip their canoes on Hie shore. They stand in battle array. .Monsieur Celoron ham mers an iron plate with the arms of France to the tree. That will wart) tiie world and life Knglisli in partlcu lar, he hopes, that this is property of the king of France Keep off! "Monsieur reciles a speech pre pared by i.a Salle for such occasions i If ends witli a lusty shout, ‘Vive le Hoi.’ ’Vive le Koi’ shout the soldiers of France in battle array and the startled silence of the woods echoes tiie French boast. Monsieur Celoron and his 200 paddled in the name of furs as well as kings of France but such a river could not waste its strength fnreier on the luxury of fur. “Tiie stage of the next Ohio pageant is about 40 feet long and 12 feet wide It Is the deck of a Kentucky broad horn ff this flatboat had a roof over the whole ‘deck’ instead of half it would he a New < irleans hroadhorn. The three families who have built this lathoat are going only as far as Mariet'a. 1’nder the roof one woman >eds wood in a small clay fireplace, oiliers busy themselves preparing tiie \ening meal. They work amid a clut er of chests and chairs and l ie slm- ' tile needs of a pioneer household. “They brought these precious pos- I -esslons from New Kngland In Cones- j toga wagons over tiie interminable ridges of Hie Appalachians to McKees port. Tiie families built the flatboat at McKeesport. It will never come hack. The deck and the eight-foot sides will be the floors for their cabins In Marietta. "One man Is at tiie stern with a 40 foot steering oar. A lanky hoy In the bow holds a ’gougor,’ a short oar for use in swift water. In one hand he has a tin horn—every boat carries a horn. As tiie evening mists closedown tiie boy blows the horn to warn any craft ahead. The reverberating blast of the horn Is tiie echo and answer to ‘Vive le Hoi.’ There are two 30-foot sweeps on each side of the flatboat But these are for emergencies. The Ohio offers free transport on Its swift current to any settler w ho will try his luck in the valley of Hie Mississippi, Hie largest valley in tiie world capable of Inhabitation hy man. Chantey of the River. "Fiathoats of the Ohio were to the Middle West what the ‘Iron horse’ was to Hip far West after the Civil war. “As they flout down the river the ■Pilgrims of the Ohio’ sing: ’O, the river Is up. the channel Is'deep, The wind blows steady and strong, Aaplashing their oars the mariners keep As they row their boats along. (Tenor) Down the Kiver (Bass) Down the Kiver (All) Down the O-HI-O.’ “ The steamboats were finer than anything on shore.’ says Mark Twain, who Is tiie moat entertaining authority of tiie next and most golden age of the Mississippi waterways. The third pageant beglus with the launching of the first steamboat at Brownsville, Pa., in 1811. ’“Compared with superior dwelling houses and first-class hotels in the val ley,’ writes tiie beloved humorist, ’they were “palaces.” They tallied with the citizen’s dream of magnificence. . . . chimney tops cut to counterfeit a spraying crown of plumes; pilothouse hurricane deck, holler deck, guards, all garnished with white wooden filigree work of fanciful patterns, gilt deer horns over the hlg bell, oil pictures on every stateroom door, big chandeliers every little wny. each an April shower of glittering glass drops.’ SP1NGARN MEDAL AW AKDED TO DU.
