Riverboat Race From the Lake to St Paul Glen

A historic upstream race describes faster boats from Galena and St Paul vying for first arrival after ice clears. The War Eagle trails behind the lead, wharfage fees and bar navigations shape tactics as crews lash or avoid collision. The victory brings prairie cheers at Pig's Rye while fleets expand, forming a joint line between Latrobe and St Paul with new boats added by concurrent consolidation.

A Christmas Gift Offer From The Review

An irregular ad fragment promises gifts and free paper for 1937 if a weekly subscription is renewed or extended.
