It was not until after the close of the war that these Indian prison- ers were released from their captivity. The government was at a loss to know just how to deal with the savage tribe. To put the warriors to the sword would have satisfied justice, but here were their families, male and female of all ages, to be cared for. It was therefore resolved that the guilty must be spared to provide and care for the helpless and the innocent. Some time after the close of the war the camp was moved down the river into Missouri, and still later on they were placed on a reservation in Indian Territory.


In the capturing of this savage tribe and removing from theiir savage haunts and bringing into close contact with civilization, Camp Mcclellan

on one side and camp of the redskins on the other, the contrast was so great that the civilized observer was constrained to ask himself the ques- tion: Are these also men? A partial comparison may be drawn by compar- ing the crabb apple with the golden pipin.


But now let us leave the camp of the dark tribe together with Camp McClellan, and look eastward across the main channel of the Mississippi river. Here we see another camp on Rock Island in the middle of the river. This is the camp where several thousand confederate prisoners are held. Here we see a miniature city with regular streets running at right angles, with barracks for houses of equal size, each barrack capable of accommodat- ing sixteen men. Here everything is in order, in true military style, and the prisoners are comfortable and happy, or at least as happy as it is possi- ble for men to be as prisoners of war. The issuing of their daily rations the same in quantity and quality as in Camp Mcclellan, but the prisoners are civilized men. have regular chaplains, and have a printing press and publish a newspaper edited and managed by the prisoners themselves for their own use in their camp. These civilized prisoners are as strictly guarded as the savages of the Indian camp, but being on an island guard duty was comparatively easy.


Ten days had now elapsed since our drafted men had been brought to Davenport and Camp Mcclellan, and last of all the men were again subject- ed to a rigid physical examination and the cripples and the otherwise im- perfect weeded out, and among the latter was the writer with a full dis- charge from military duty for one year. It was not long after this weeding out till our drafted boys were on their way to Dixieland where they joined General Sherman's army. preparing for his famous march to the sea. This march to the sea was the beginning of the end of the great rebellion. It is wholly unnecessary to here enter into further details of the war for it has been written and re-written so much that nearly all juvenile readers are already familiar with its history.

WASHINGTON MILLS.


J. L. Saner Its Founder Fifty-five Years Ago


It was about the year 1852 that one, J. L. Saner of western .Pennsyl- vania, was looking for a location in the northwestern part of Jackson coun- ty, Iowa, Suitable for the erection of a sawmill. This he found on Lyttle's creek on the line between Jackson and Dubuque counties Along the creek for a distance of six or seven miles was a fine body of timber from one to one and a half miles wide. Here Mr. Saner bought several hundred acres of land, not so much for the land as for the timber that was on the land. It was in 1853 that he began building the needed sawmill for this part of Jackson was beginning to be settled with emigrants from the eastern states, and the demand for lumber was already great, although in the vi- cinity of Mr Saner's mill site there were no improvements for several miles. It was here that Mr. Saber set a gang of men to work at building the first sawmill in this part of the county. This gang consisted of 16 men. Some were carpenters, some millwrights, and some were hewers of wood, and others plied the pick and the shovel. It was here that I did my first solid work in Iowa. Mr. Saner, the proprietor, had his quarters where his family resided, one mile north of the mill site on the open prairie. His house was a frame shanty 16 16 feet square, one and a half stories high. Around this were temporary sheds for sleeping quarters for the gang of builders.


It was after considerable progress had been made at the mill when a stranger put in an appearance where the men were at work. This stranger told the men that he lived tive or six miles north on the open prairie for the last five years and congratulated the men because of the noble work they were engaged in, a work that would greatly facilitate the development of that part of Jackson and Dubuque counties. But, said the stranger. you need not be surprised if some day when out in these woods you will find a herd of wild hogs. This last was by far the most interesting part of the stranger's talk to our gang, for we had several nimrods in our crew.

After hearing of this wild herd of porkers our men never went to the woods without taking several rifles out to where the timber was being hew- ed for the construction of the dam and fore bay of the prospective mill, and every man was anxious to catch sighi of the swine. But after looking in vain for at least two weeks our gang began to believe that the report was purely a fish story and that there were no such aborigines in these woods. It was after the mill was approaching completion, and the head race con- ducting the water to the mill, which was a canal about 20 rods long and about 5 feet wide and 4 feet deep was finished. Within a few yards of the place where it was to receive water from the dam was the untinish- ed end, its banks slightly sloping. It was the custom in those days to work early and late, and our breakfast was often served by candlelight, and it was after one of the early breakfasts that our gang started millward. Our nimrods as usual carried their rifles, and after passing through the narrow road that was cut through the thicket that hid from view the dam and the newly dug canal, the wild hogs were discovered. At this sight the mill gang was jubilant and quickly placed a strong guard at the place where the swine had entered, and it was believed that the entire herd might be captured by closing up the entrance. But this


calculation had


be


to given in less time than it takes to tell it. No sooner had the porkers caught the scent of the mill gang when they immediately made a wild rush through the canal and easily scaled its banks in their mad flight for liberty. Although our party fired several shots into the fleeing herd without effect, except one of the largest of the razor backs had a little difficulty in getting out of the canal and therefore was behind time in getting away In the meantime the guns had all been discharged except one in the hands of one John Croft who was a crack shot, and now leveled his long rifle at the fleeing porker, and at a distance of over 30 rods brought his game to the ground. The ball broke his back and the capture was easy. After the usual blood letting the huge porker was inspected by the whole party and Mr. Saner was also on the ground and soon deployed two out of our gang to take the ox team which was already in sight, and take the carcass home and dress it for fu- ture use. The specimen now secured was apparently one of the finest in the herd, and would weigh approximately 300 lbs. It was in fair flesh, and of a dull brown color with here and there a small spot of gray. Our crew were now in ecstacy. The thought of now having plenty of fresh pork made the men feel good, for of the many good things to eat fresh pork was the most in lack which could not be obtained short of Dubuque, 16 miles dis- tant. But we were all disappointed for the meat was not nearly so good as had been expected. It was course in grain and ill flavored, but the novelty of having native pork to eat made it go.


' But we were not confined to native pork or smoked bacon, for Lyttles creek was literally alive with the fines; of tish, fish of large size of different varieties, and often our boys went to the water after nightfall for an hour's angling and in this way secured all the fish that our large family could use, which consisted of 28 persons including women and children.


- -24-


It was about October 1st, when the dam and mill was completed and our large family began to break up. The carpenters and millwrights went in quest of other jobs, but John Croft of wild hog notoriety and the writer were retained to assist the proprietor in odd jobs and running the mill. But this John Croft was of a hunting disposition and was not satisfied to allow that herd of swine to entirely escape without a thorough search of the woods if perchance he might again get sight of the natives. But in this he was disappointed but succeeded in finding the place where they had their shelter and sleeping quarters. About a mile northwest from the mill in a deep ravine with bluffs on either side was a cave under rocks that run into the hill 50 feet or more was a fine shelter and an abundance of room for the entire herd. In this cave there was an abundance of dry leaves and grass that had evidently been carried in for bedding, and was to all intents and purposes, a good hog nest. But this is all that Mr. Croft fourd. He never saw the drove after the affair in the canal. This herd as seen by the mill crew numbered about 20, and appeared to represent at least three gen- erations. There were shotes of about 60 lbs., and others about 100, and again others of 150 lbs., and a few of the herd would tip the beam at 300. It was not at all difficult to see how these wild rooters could live here from year to year and keep in thriving condition summer and winter, for in this belt of timber all kinds of mast was so abundant that a time of scarcity could hardly occur The acorn of the white oak literally covered the ground, and then there was the bur oak, the shellbark hickory, and the hazel thickets, all contributed to supply food for the entire year.


It was after this first sawmill had run about five years and much of the adjacent timber was cut and the country around began to be settled that Mr. Saner sold his interest to a company composed of Oliver Bossart and David Kiter. These men in addition to the sawmill, built the large flour- ing mill that did a large business for a number of years or until wheat rais- ing in these parts gave way to corn raising and corn and hogs became king, and have reigned ever since. The place, where at these mills I did my first hard work, is the present village of Washington Mills, and is on the Nar row Guage, Bellevue and Cascade Railway. The first settlers in the vicinity of the mills were P. Miller, Gec. Gallager, the Sweeny brothers, the Stau- tons, a Mr. Hughes, Mathias Scholian, D. Kifer, Oliver Bossart, J. L. San- er, Henry Burke. a Mr. Canon, a Mr. Mclaughlin and others. Of these first named settlers there is not now any that are living, except Oliver Bos- sart of Essex, Page county, lowa.
