About the PSFcr Mtaalmlppl.
Capt. J. yf. Campbell, of Fort Mndl-
6on, Ia„ a pioneer pilot of the upper Mis
sissippi, writes thus about the past aud
present: "I emerged from the hazel
brush in northeast Missouri in 1844 to
take a first peep at tbe wide world be
yond. Having been Infatuated in early
youth with the cat fish and drift log bus
iness, it was but natural I should seek a
nautical pursuit Consequently I drift
ed on board an upper Mississippi steam
boat and began to serve as a cub pilot
along shore between Su Louis and Fort
Snclling. The first duty of a cub is to
designate the difference between fore
and aft—larboard and starboard—and
with brains enough tc determine if the
current of tbo river ronB to the north or
south.
“He is then permitted to enter tlio pi
lot house and take the wheel, while his
senior lights his pipe, and being consti
tutionally tired seats himself on on ele
vated bench in the rear and looks com
placently on. Presently, under tlio ma
nipulation of tho verdant cub, tho wheel
begin* to spin from right to left—left to
right—hard up and hard down; he strikes
with his clumsy paws at the revolving
whoel with the awkwardness of his ma
tured namesake and involuntarily his
pedal extremities come in contact with
the spokes of tho 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
a similar kind he becomes more skillful,
and with less exertion guides the boat
steadily along, and then begins his great
est task by learning the shores that he
may distinguish unerringly one locality
from another in tho darkest night, after
which he is directed to observe the fol
lowing 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
associationj^become indelibly painted
upon the panorama of tho mind, and
when they are recognized by tho cub
they become welcomed companions to
him in tbe darkness of tbe night—a
warning sentinel by which he avoids the
breakers and reefs ahead.
“Ho is now prepared to stand a watch,
is no longer dubbed the cub, but is en
titled to promotion and receives tbe cog
nomen of ‘star gazer.’
“It was much harder when I began
for ono to learn than at present, for the
country abovo Prairio 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, with government lights located at
every difficult crossing on tho river.
While on my first voyage I was directed
on passing tbe head of Coon Slough to
hold her on Wild Cat bluff, where now
nestlee beneath its shadows tho prosper
ous villago of Brownsville, and on as
cending ten miles farther up wo land on
the cost side of Prairie La Crosse, con
taining then but two houses. The upper
ono was occupied by a Mr. Mirick, used
jointly as a residence and warehouse,
and 100 yards below stood a log hut
tenanted by a Mr. White, while the bar
ren sand bonks intermediate were dotted
with Winnebago wigwams.
“On this bleak and lonely sand prairie
ef the past wc behold at present a mag
ical change. The name is abbreviated
to plain Li Crosse. Instead of two resi
dents, we find here now a population of
over 80,000 people. We hear the sound
of tho buzzing saw of mills less than a
hundred yards apart for over five miles
up and down the river, while in frpnt
along the shore are millions upon mill
ions of pine lumber and saw logs await
ing tr< be towed down the river to supply
tho increasing demands of tbe great
southwest
“In place of one solitary steamboat
landing here semi-monthly, we sco them
como and go by the dozen every twenty-
four hours, for more of them are owned
in La Crosse than at any other point be
tween SL Louis and St Paul, and my
companions in days of yore, with the
fledglings of today, have organized a
pilot association here with over ISO
hers, who question the propriety of the
government in appointing on inspector
whom they deem inexperienced.
