"Tou mar talk of Hatterse a marina

against any of then. Take the stretch
between St. Joe and Bt. Ixmla. for Instance.
It's not very lona and It's not very wide,
and yet the bones of more than 200 steam
boats line It.
AH of them went down, too. In a short
apace of time, for It's been, a lone while

, fell, like that of the Mlsslntjppl. 'before
the railway. All In all, the river trade
slid n't last much more than a quarter of a
century, but In that time there were more
wrecks than you could count. Steamers
-nt aground on the sand bars, they col
lided with snags; they ran Into .one an
other, they ran ashore, they broke their
backs and they blew up.
' "There was newa of another wreck
almost every day, and things were booming
In the recovery of bodies. The old boats

'There is not a single steamboat on the
whole stretch of river that even plays at
navigating It.. Its evolution has been com

French ' voyageur with his pirogue, the
American fur trader with his keel boat.
the magnificent passenger steamer each
In turn haa gone up and down, but today,
on what was once the commercial high
way of the west, there now remains only
. the original navigator, the little blue
winged teal. '
: "And yet there . Is much of history still
dinging to the old river. Fifty years ago
fully sixty boats were regularly employed
In the carrying trad between Bt. Louis
and Bt. Joseph, and fully as many more
made Irregular trips to Omaha and Sioux
City and Fort Benton, the head of navt
ration. . At that time no railroad had been
buHt west of the Mississippi, and the en-
. tire commerce of tha Rocky mountain re
gion 'was transported over the Missouri.
The problem of. navigation of the. river
bad been solved In 181 by Bt. Louis men.
Colonel Rector and others, and thereafter
the way was open. .
"The first boat to ascend the river was
- a government steamer, tha Western Engl
. iteer, which was built - expressly to ter
rorise the Indians. 8he was a stem
wneeier, seveniy-nve reel long, with a
13-foot beam, and drew nineteen inchea of
water. On her bow waa the escape pipe,
made in Imitation of a huge serpent, with
Its mouth open and tongue painted md.
I The steam escaped through the mouth at
Intervals, making a nolae like the dying
groans ot a great sea monster. The noise
could be heard tor miles, and the Indians
wrho would venture to the river bank to gaze
upon it fled In terror, convinced that the
Jtanltou had shown himself in a new form
'Twelve "yeara later Improvements made
In the boats enabled them to navigate the
, upper waters. Pierre Chouteau, bead of
the American Fur Trading company, was
the. first man to navigate beyond the Iowa
frontier. In 1831 he built the Tellowatdne.
and In May of that year passed the mouth
of the. Niobrara. in northern Nebraska.
and finally landed at the mouth of Milk
river, In South Dakota.
"In the following year other boats war
launched by this company. One each, year
waa sent to the headwaters, and life on
bos.rd.waa strenuous. Indians loitered on
the river, banks to takeia shot at the boat,
and eagh night It had to be anchored in
midstream to avoid surprises. Fuel - was
acarqe, and while half the crew went Into
the woods to cut' timber the remainder
stood guard with muskets.
la the Uoldea Kre,
'The next era of the river was its golden
roe. With the establishment of military
oats In the northwest the tide of emigre-
- tlun set In. The year 1848 saw the end of
tha fur trade on the upper Missouri. The
ur carrying boata were replaced by stern
wheelers with a single engine, which car-
rl-d all supplies from civilisation.
"By 1850 tha advance in building the
boats had been such that they became pal
aces. Staterooms, cabin rooms and dining
saloons were Introduced. Travel bv boat
rJIcame one of tho pleasures of life. 'Tha
' Missouri river boats were not a whit be-
bind those on the Mississippi, and much
' tha same scenes were witnessed on them.
v"ln place of the rich plantation owner,
ready for fleecing, the gamblers that in
fested the boata had as their prey tha fur
trader and the freighter- 4f the plains.1 won
who made their thousands a month. Poker
was the only game played, and many big
games wsr played. There were tragedies,
too, dark and bloody deeds. Those were
days when to call a man a liar meant a
fight with guns, and to Intimate ttiat he
waa a cheat Invited Immediate assassina
tion. Many of these boats cost from 180.
000 to $"70,000. princely sums for the timt.
The pilot was In those days the auto
- crat of the river the big man on every
boat. He received large wages, sometimes
as much as tl.ooo or 11,509 a month, and
7 b spent1 It like a thoroughbred. The first
"t tabor union organised west of the Missis
sippi was that of the plfots of this river,
and as no man could Jeara the river with
out, long and, careful tutelage the pilots
were well able to dictate their own wegie.

Of tha dally issues tha ona having tha
largest circulation la the "Daily Weather
Map." That dally, passed .with, indif
ference by most people of small Interests,
Is eagerly awaited by the broker and
financier and the mariner a fid thousands
of other people whose business is affected
by weather conditions, by rising and fall
ing temperature, or by ah) f ting winds. The
"news" It gives is secured from every part
of the country, and Ita telegraphic service
la second to none. About .200 special cor
respondents see that tha very latest 1nfor
matlon Is sent by telegraph right up to
the hour of going to press. Branch pub
lishing houses have been established in
tha larger cities, where local conditions are
covered for local consumption, but each ot
the daily issues covers the wide national
field as well. It has the largest clfcula
tion of a; government dally in Washington,
reaching about 1,000, and - In ' Chicago
about 2,000, St. Louis 1,500 and the smaller
cities In proportion.
Entering into the same genera!, field to a
certain extent Is the "Snow and lea Bui
letln." Issued dally by ths Navy depart'
ment. for which the demand la greatest
at tha ports of the country, but which is
eagerly .sought by the operating depart'
ments of the big railroad systems. The
Agricultural department, which expends
about $1,000,000 every year on printing bills
alone, la much taken with the weekly
newspaper field. Its most popular publl
cation is "The Crop Reporter." This Is not
only sought by the rural resident, but its
contents are mercilessly "cribbed" by spe
clal correspondents located here, who ad
vise financiers and brokers' agents ot Ita
contenta the moment tbe first copy comes
from the presses. On the Information it
contains fortunes are made and lost, and
the precautions taken to prevent any of
lis news being obtained before the copies
come from the presses exceed those ot
any metropolitan publication. The -circu
lation at this time Is 100,000, and the copy
never leaves the editors' hands . until )
o'clock In the afternoon of the day of Is
sue. The first copy is thrown from the
presses at tha Government Printing office
4 twenty minutes later, while . two hours
later tha big trucks are trundling tha first
thousands of copies over to the mailing
rooms. This weekly has the advantage ot
an organised corps of , correspondents
numbering 20.000. Its salaries vary. from
the "glory" of serving the government to
11.200 per annum, the latter paid to some
state correspondents who have charge of
forwarding the .collated Information from
country correspondents. Tha weekly , Is
represented In every county In tha United
States. Not satisfied with covering the
field generally and thus serving special
Information to all interests, ths depart
ment has a season publication, "The
Weekly Crop Bulletin," issued during the
summer, which contains the usual sum
mary of crop and weather conditions and
in addition telegraphic Information from
every crop-raising state In the union' of
conditions at the hour of going to presa
Postal Interaaatlea. "
The dally publications Issued by the Poet
office department contain information ot
principal Interest to the thousands ot postal
employes, but the circulation is by no
means confined to them. Railroad officials,
private publishers, real estate agents, sup
ply houses aad scores of people In all aortr
of callings wait each da to get the Issues
of the Postofnce Bulletin. In It they rind
reports of the cbangea In railway routes,
of the assignment ot clerks, of the appoint
ment or retirement of postmasters or other
I officials, of the restoration or abolishment
of star routes and of rural free delivery
routes, and of the extension of free de
livery to cities. Tha . "editorials" are
usually written by the postmaster general
himself. Mr. Henry C. Payne. They are la
the form of new regulations or orders, or
calling attention to abuses which he wants
corrected, and which not only convey In

This is an honest store, a store with a heart in
it that beats for tne masses. It is an honest store
..that never allows merchandise to enter its doors

"Satisfaction or your money back" has been amply
