ERA ON
I E
OLD BOA! DOOMED
DAYTON, Mtnn. (UP) The lut of
tsh ferryboats which once did a
thriving business on the leisurely
weep of the mighty Mississippi has
been doomed.
Fate of the boat hung In the bal
ance for a time this summer. Then
elderly Ca.pt. Duffy Martin sat down,
grabbed a stub of a pencil and chew
ed his voluminous mustache as he
figured. When he had added up the
cost of a new cable and of repairing
the cable towers he realized It would
y coat htm more than he would ever
f get out of It.
Today the boat Hes on the bank at
the end of a dusty trail In Dayton,
28 miles upriver from the Twin Cities
Its floor planks are ripped up. Its
besmt and timbers are drying In the
fall sun, and Its cable Is wound
around a pair of convenient trees,
The towers are down and the river
before Martin's frame house for the
first time In half a century Is clear.
So one of the toughest hangerson
of the old romantic rrver occupations
on the Mississippi is dead.
Born Adolf Martin in New Bruns
wick, Duffy, as everyone knows him.
came to Dayton In 1B81. He bought
the ferry in 1903. He has no Idea
how long it had been run prior to
that time. Its total life span has oeen
At least 50 years, he calculates.
Five owners had It before Martin
got hold of It most of them for sev
eral years at a stretch.
Of late years business hasn't been
good. Travelers are only occasional
Tha ferry would hold two automo-
biles, or a team and wagon.
& Time was. Martin recalls, when bus
iness wss brisk on the muddy Mis
sissippi. Travelers couldn't spend the
time to drive teams to the bridges.
Btesmboats chugged up the river
then. When they did one of the tow
era was lowered and the cable was
dropped to the bottom. Log Jama
came down the river then, and toe
floes backed against the sturdy craft.
In those" days, a trip took three
minutes eastward and two minutes
return. The return was faster because
a bend in the river shot 'the current
to the farther bank. The ferry moved
by the current's power. The- forward
end wa kept close to the cable, the
stsrn end allowed to fall away. And
the current thus pulled the scow
across. On the other side of the river
the captain reversed the position of
the ends.
Martin Is satisfied (at 75) that he's
been the last ferryman on the big
river. The ,heavy currents used to
me.ke the cable twang like a bull fid
dle string. Now It's down and put
away.
Tnafs all right with Martin. He
likes It better quiet now.
