"We have only to look at the slum districts of our larger cities to find out what happens to an Indian who leaves the reservation unequipped to cope with his new found freedom." Clark said he was in favor of establishing a board to pass on the eligibility of Indians for re lease and gradually wind up the affairs of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

OLSON Superintendent State Historical Society Even before the advent of the steamboat the Missouri river was the great high road to and from the American West. Of the many types of early boats used on the Missouri, per haps the keelboat was the most representative. It was the keel boat which carried the early exploring-parties. It was the keel boat which took the early fur trading expeditions up the river and hauled their precious cargo to market at St. Louis. The keelboat was a. good sized vessel, being 60 to 70 feet long with a breadth of beam of 15. to 18 feet. Most keelboats used on the Missouri were built in Pitts burgh and cost from two to three thousand dollars each. Power for the keelboat was furnished by almost everything except steam, gasoline, and elec tricity. The main reliance, how ever, was on the strong backs of the sturdy voyageurs who made up the crew. On many miles of each trip these men literally dragged the boat upstream by brute force. This is the way they did it. A tow roDe or cordelle, consisting of a line nearly 1,000 feet Jong, was fastened to the top of the mast. The boat was pulled along with this line by men on shore. It was not an' easy task, this cor delling a heavy keelboat loaded with cargo up the capricious Mis souri. There was little point in build ing towpaths, either. The river1 changed its course so frequently that a towpath constructed one year might be too far from the wateVs edge to be of use the next or it might be in the center of the stream itself. At a good many places the wa ter vas too shallow for the boat to be towed. Here the pole ..was used with eight or ten crew men arranging themselves along each side and raising and lowering the poles in unison to the chant of the man who directed the work. Sometimes the water was too deep for poles and towing was impractical, for these occasions the crew took out .oars and rowed the heavy vessel upstream. There usually were five or six of these along each side of the boat. Once in a ereat while (believe it or V .... i 1- ', not ) It Was POSSIOIU lO uican. uui a sail and let the wind send the boat on its way. These brief in j "-''' " lUydtu - It eoes without saying that the keelboat was not a speedy vessel and a journey by keelboat from St. Louis to the upper Missouri was an entire summer's under- j taking. Roses which have wilted from fceat or lack of water often may be freshened by placing the stems in boiling water for two or three seconds and then placing them in cool water.
