$s 4 4 wPRRcy I ANiH Orith i. j * ~PAGE FOUR fi Yes, compared with the missions of ‘California the Mission of the Imâ€" ‘maculate Conception as this Illinois mission. was known, goes way back. Eearly History _ For tl:s,next seventyâ€"eight years little is record ‘in the history of this country between Peoria â€" and Pekin which is now a string of tall smokestacks blowing their clouds skyâ€" ward. But we find that people must have come in here for in 1778, it is Here at Starved Rock the little mission with its Jequit priests was reâ€"established and here it remained from 1698 when Father James Graâ€" vier established a chapel on Starved Rock until 1700 when, fugitive before the Iroquois, Father Marest transâ€" ferred the mission to Kaskaskia.© Creve â€" Coeur, meaning . "broken heart", was abandoned after a féew months because of attack by the Iroquois, â€" starvation and wilderness panic. LaSalle‘s men, led by Tonti, made a second stand and fortified what later became known as Starved Rock, between the present cities of Ottawa and LaSalle. _ f ~Before Californa Missions Eightyâ€"nine years that was before the oldest of the California missions was founded; 133 years before the existing mission was built. Much romance has been written of the Pacific missions, little of those in Illinois. . ; .4 . Somehow I am not so impressed with the antiquity of these California missions. They are young. I have just been down the Illinois river to the city of Pekin in Tazewell county. I found near there, on the east side of the river, a stone marker recording that‘ here between Pekin and Peoria, LaSalle built his fort, Creve Coeur. That, history says was in the early spring of 1680 and here, as was the habit if the French, he established a mission. (By LESTER B. COLBY) Illinois Chamber of Commerce Picking up a magazine the other day I read a story of the "ancient missions of California." The oldest of these, so the article said, was that of San Diego de Alcola founded in 1769. The structure showhn in an iJlustration was built in 1813.

The Pekin Rollet mills manufactures wheat flours. The Pekâ€" in Wagon Company, started in 1849, is believed to be the oldest institution of its kind in continuous operation. It employs about 45 men. saw â€" Kentucky thouzrx quantities were sent down there| for storing, aging and. bottling. l.ifrwiu France bought much ‘of its spfrits for fine colognes here. o ipr en For many years Pekin and "Peoria were recognized ag the two greatest whiskey manufacturing towns‘ in the world. With a . smile the oldâ€"timers will tell you that the most of the famous Kentucky brands were made here. Much of this, they say, never Mordecai Mobley, â€" county _ clerk, was asked to issue the first marriage license in the county on June 27, 1827. He had no blank forms so he wrote it on the fly leaf of a book. The ink was made by wetting gunâ€" powder with water and a quill pen was ‘manufactured by ‘catching a chick.en and pulling a wingfeather. ‘_ Pekin Today > Now :for Pekin todayâ€"98 years later. It is credited with a population of about 14,000 and has one company employing 700 workmen. This is. the Corn _ Products Refining company which grinds â€" about 50,000‘ bushels of eqrn daily. It is manufactured into starch, feed, meal, sugar syrup and oil. Except for the corn products plant‘at Argo, III., it is claimed to be the largest of its kind in the _yor‘l‘d.; The Yankee invasion of Tazewell county began about 1820 and by 1830 was well under way. A town sprang up on the TIllinois river at a spot favorable for landing river boats. For lack of a better name it was called "Town Site". The town ; of Pekin was surveyed and named in 1829 by a group ‘of pioneers: who announced that the lotg »cost ‘them, after the expense of" subdivision, twentyâ€"eight cents each. Here Abraham ~Lincoln, then a young lawyer, fought the case of "Black Nance," a slave, and won her freedom for her. She was the first slave. freed by the! emancipator Here‘s another picture of pioneering: This army marched _ from the "Trading House" now Wesley City, which is .pra;:s.c._lly on the site of the Creve Co€@r® of . LaSalle and Tonti. recorded, Father Hyppolite Maillet, apparently a militant man of God, assembled 300 French settlers and Indians and led his army against the British at Fort St. Joseph on lower Lake Michigan. â€" 50 ‘bottles ...

It recorded ‘the courses ‘which the son had pursued in college, noticed he had been business manâ€" ager of a college publication, ~and went through :the youn% man‘s warJ service. The Board of Tax‘ Appeals included in its findings of fact a ‘deâ€" scription ‘of the ceremonies attendant upon the son‘s> entering tl:le ‘business, in 1919. â€" According: to the Board: of Tax Appeals (the father playing vth'el role of taxpayer), "The takpayer furâ€" nished a large floral ho*rmhog_g.m-‘] blazoned . with the legend, ‘Success,‘| and the employees of the taxpayer; sent a large basket:of roses. The | The father Jisnted‘ to include in his business expenses the‘sum of $114,â€" 000 ‘as salary for his son during the son‘s first year in the father‘s busiâ€" ness. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue said $20,000, was about right. The board of tax appeals, in upholding the commissioner‘s estiâ€" mate, intimited that it itself might have come nearer to $4,500, ~ /. .. Fond parents, including .fathers who are engaged in business, may find the Bureau of Internationa‘ Revâ€" enue and the Board of Tax Appeals are inclined toward severity, . In fact, the Board of Tax Appeals, which on many occasions has told the Commisâ€" sioner of Internal Revenue he has atâ€" ‘tempted to collect a tax where no tax was due, recently told the commissionâ€" er. he was too lenient with a father who had taken his son into business. Pekin has another ambition. It seeks to gain fame as a good city to live in and play in as well as to work jn. So it has established eightyâ€"five acres of park and ‘playground.;lt has a nineâ€"hole golf course, a fine, lake of several acres almest in the heart of the city, with boating, bathing and DAD PROVIDED FOR . > THEM ALL TOO WELL wading. | Again, there is the Pekin Rosé gardens, with 24,000 feet under glass, specializing in two varieties of roses. Among the other industriese of the city are ‘three grain elevators, a greyâ€" iron and semiâ€"steel foundry. and a factory making women‘s dresses. Fortyâ€"five years ago, the Hinners Organ company, |manufacturer of pipe and reed organs, was established in Pekin. This company is building a handsome pipe organ to be inâ€" stalled in Whiting Hall, American Exposition Palace, Chicago, for the Illinois Products Exposition, which will be held October 8â€"17. The value of this organ, operated from a conâ€" sole by electricity, is put at $30,000 and is only a sample of the organs the company is building for ‘installaâ€" tion all over the world. .
