What Capt. J. W. Campbell Has to Say "" Aboot the Upper Miseles!ppi. Capt. J. W. Campbell, of Fort Madi- son, Ia.,a pioneer pilot of the upper Mis- sisippi, writes thus about.the past and present: "I emerged from the hazel brush in northeast Missouri in 144 to jtake o fret pwep ab the wide w, rbd be- Having been infatuated in early youth with the cat fish and drift log Snag but natural I showk ' | nautical pursuit, Consequently I "rift. edon board an upper Mississippi steam- boat and ixg¢an to serve asa cul pilot | along shore Letween St. Louis and Fort Snelling. The first duty of a cub is to designate the difference between fore and aft--larboard and starboard--azid with brains enough to determine if the current of the river runs to the north or south, "He.is then permitted to-enter the pi- lot house and take the wheel, while his senior-lights his pipe, and being consti- tutionally tired seats himself on an ele- vated bench in the rear and looks com- placently on. Presently, under the ma- nipulation of the verdant cub, the wheel begins to spin from right to left--left to right--hard upand hard down; he strikes with his clumsy paws at the revolving wheel with the awkwardness of hia ma- tured namesake and involuntarily his pedal extremities come in contact with the spokes of the inner circle of the wheel below, thereby illustrating the re- sults of centrifugal force by throwing him outside of the pilot house. "But after a few more experiments of asimilar kind he becomes more skillful, and with less exertion guides the boat steadily along, and then begins his great- est. tusk by learning the shores. that he- may distinguish unerringly one localit¥ from another in the darkest night, after | whieh le is dlirected-to-observe the fol. jlowing landmarks: 'Head of Island, Foot of Bend, Cut Bank, Willow' Tow- head, Big Hollow, High Bluff, Point-no- Point, Dead Cottonwood Tree, Tall Syca- more," with many more, all of which by association become indelibly painted upon the panorama of the mind, an when they are recognized by the cub they become welcomed companions to him in the darkness of the night--a warning sentinel by which hp avoids the breakers and reefs ahead. *'He is now prepared to stand a watch, is noJonger dubbed the cub, but is«en- titled to promotion ond receives the cog- began for one to learn than at present, for the country above Prairie du Chien was un- inhabited, except by Indians and a few white traders, but now we have villages and cities from ten to twenty miles } apart, wath yoxernment lights located at every difficult crossing on the river, While on my first voyage I was directed on passing the head of Coon slough to hold ber on Wild Cat bluff, where now | nesties beneath its shadows the prosper- oua village of Brownsville, and on as- cending ten miles farther up we land on the east side of Prairie La Crosse, con- taining then but two houses, The upper one was occupied. by a Mr, Mirick, used and 100 yards befo¥ stood a log hut tenanted by a Mr. White, while the bar- ren sand tanks intermediate were dotted with Winnebago wigwama. "On this bleak and lonely sand prairie of the past we behold at present a mag- ical change. The name is abbreviated to pliin La Crosse. Instead of two resi- dents, we find here now a population of over 30,000 people. We hear the sound the buzzing saw of mills less than a hundred yards apart for over five miles up and down the river, while in front along the shore are millions upon mill- ions of pine lumber and saw logs await- ing to be towed down the river to supply the increasing demands of the great south west. "In place of one solitary steamboat companions in days of yore, with the fledglings of today, have organized a pilot assuciation here with over 150 mem- bers, who question the propriety of the government in appointing an meal whom they deem inexperie "Again we are underway, passing upon our left majestic bluffs arising sev- era] hundred feet above the water'sedge, while upon our right we view for miles in the distance the valley of Black river, whose pine tiaber kas since added mill- ions to the wealth of the pioneer settler.
