The same year the. Western Engineer, a government vssel, steamed up the river as far as old Council Bluffs. Even then the navigation of the Mis- souri by whites who used first the native bull boats of the Indians and later the picturesque keel boat of early river days, was fully half a century old. Lewis and Clark, in 1805, found that white ;men had preceded them up the river with keel boats. Almost 70 'years have elapsed since the first steam vessel forged its way to | the head of navigation on the Missouri. Forty years ago Bismarck was a’base of navigation for a dozen substantial packet lines. Today, of all these companies, only the |Benton Packet Co. remains, but it operates successfully a half- idozen boats between the capital ‘city and points up and down the iriver, which have no other transportation facilities, and it handles large amounts of coal, grain and machinery. | Higgins Is Enthusiastic. |.
