C?q-j;-c River, Sacred Water to Indians

Today modern concrete bridges span the crossings of the Ocqueoc River in East Michigan between Rogers City and Cheboygan and all summer long and late into the fall a continuous, unbroken stream of tourists follows unheeding an old Indian trail because Jit is. now called 0. S. Highway 23 and the old path traversed centuries ago by the Indians has become a smooth-surfaced travel artery that beckons the tourist on and on to sapphire lakes, green forests and sparkling waters. Those making up the caravans of nomad motorists which come from the parched zones to the south, seeking health and happiness wot not of another pilgrimage that annually, decades ago, left the main trail at this point and wound sombrely and seriously down to the shores of the Ocqueoc. In those almost forgotten days there was no smooth, vibrationless roadbed, no hum of contented motors. Tall pines towered above the trail and the river. The soughing of gentle breezes purring through the trees, the occasional soft splash of the paddle of a birch bark canoe and the operas of hundreds of varieties of birds only disturbed the tomb-like silence. Aged and Infirm Take Last Journey The caravan of today that crosses the Ocqueoc is a rushing cavalcade of modern adventurers. The Indian caravan of that "eternal landscape of the past” was a sluggish, slow-mov-ing one, solemnly creeping along its path through the forest, with young nu n at the head and the lame, • the halt and the palsied lagging behind. The Ocqueoc River was the Sacred Water of the Chippewa Indians, that stream down which the aged, the decrepit, the blind and the superannuated of the tribe took their last journey —to Sundown Land. The choice, was voluntary and the journey a tribal custom. . Those who embarked • upon it came willingly—without complaint or lament —to the shores of the river, as cheerfully and blithely almost as the stalwart young men and comely . maidens of the" tribe. They came in “the silvery livery of advanced age” for the most Part, "to vanish in the chinks that Time had made,” Feasting Precedes Great Adventure. Annually, when the brush of the Great Spirit had painted the forest witli the glorious colors of the Indian summer and the birds were' gathering -for their fall flight, the Gliippewas held their bivouac on the shore of the Ocqueoc. The entire tribe attended. The feasting, one of the principal features of the gathering, was climaxed by preparations for the departure of, those, scheduled to cross the Stygian fi rry upon tlie Great Adventure. The list of those who were to make the water journey included all those

CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT EXPLAINS FISH LIMITS According to state conservation officials considerable misunderstanding exists regarding the number and kind of game fish one may catch and possess each day during the open season, The impression prevails that if six black bass and silver bass are caught and 'kept in one day then no other species of fish may. be kept that day. This is not the construction conservation officials place on the law. Explaining this feature of the fish law, George N. Mannfeid, in charge of the division, says that one is permitted after he has caught and is holding six bass (black or silver may make up this number) he may in that day’s bag take the limit . f other species, providing of course that his catch of bluegills, crappje, rock bass, and red-eared sunfish com hined do not exceed 25 in the aggregate of all these species. For example, if one has 24 bluegills he may lawfully catch and keep one rock bass, or crappie, or red-eared sunfish. The limit one may possess at any one time in a live box or otherwise

who were of no further use to the tribe. The young brave, left a helpless cripple from his encounter with the wounded bull elk; the aged chieftain whose inept hand could no longer shape the spearhead of flint; the elderly warrior whose withered arm could no longer draw back the string of his bow; the debilitated mother of warriors whose decrepit figure the-medicine man’s potions and incantations could not revitalise; these all were represented and candidates for the voluntary excursion down the swift current of the “Sainted River.’’ All the helpless ones, regardless of age, ancestry and valor, were on the list. ’Twas thus that the tribe was kept a nation of strong brave men and women. Chiefs and Leaders Have Precedence. Legend says that the ceremonial and mtxfc-'of departure were simple, iu keeping with the Spartanlike traditions of the race. Decked in their bead3 and feathers, they austerely stepped into the river, waded out „ into the mid-stream, reclined as in a cradle, and let. the swift water carry them away on its bosom. The journey to Gitchie Manitou’s Happy Hunting Ground was short, for the Ocqueoc does not loiter on its way. Peasant it was, too, according to tribal records, because one passed as though in a dream. Chiefs and tribal leaders had precedence, and then came the women and children. The trip was begun to the mournful chant of the tribe and woodland choirs joined in the requiems. The swift-moving expedition was carried along the river, into Hammond’s Bay and thence to ' Lake Huron. - y Early Settlers Saw Last Pilgrimage. When the white men came into the region, the remnant of the tribe, perhaps resentful of the presence of unsympathetic prying eyes abandoned the ancient rite. Early settlers saw the last pilgrimage to the Sacred Water. They have fold how , the Indians came, strung out in long proi cession, the sick and infirm sometimes three and four days behind tho main body, tottering on, making frequent stops, spending the last reserves of their failing strength to reach the rendezvous with the Master of Life. Death on the way, they believed, would rob the victims of a .special blessing and they exerted themselVes to reach the last river. The Ocqueoc River is; located near the tip' of the eastern side of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Motorists, rushing over the bridge on U. 8. 23 note casually a pretty stream. Descendants of the Chippewas, however, -to whom has been handed down the story of the" Sacred River, as they cross the river glance reverently at the waters and perhaps imagine tibey see ghostly reflections of figurdf'W their ancestors. Jk/

is 1 tic number one nught eatch 1n two days, namely 12 blick hass or silver bass combined, 50 bluegills, crap* pie, rock bass (goggle or redeye) or red-eared sunfish combined.

ELKHART COUNTY BEEF-CALF CLUB CONDUCTS TOUR week, fourteen boys and six girls, all members of the Elkhart County Bqef Calf Club, with their fathers and mothers made a tour to see twenty Herford baby steers, located. on twelve farms in Elkhart. Clinton and Renton townships. These calves have bet n fed by the boys arfd girls since Dect mber 20th. at which time the club was organized. The calves are owned by the club members aud there is a friendly spirit of competition, each one trying to produce the :s finished steer. The purpose of the :r was to give the young folks an opportunity to compare notes: on feeding, care, gains in weight and general appearance of the calves. Mr. Harry Ainsworth, Assistant State Club Leader, from Purdue University. was present on the tour. At each farm the owner led out his or her calf and gave a brief history of the care, feed ration used, and gains in weight made by the calf. Mr. Ainsworth gave in each case suggestions for further feeding and care during the remainder of the feeding period. A picnic dinner was served at the ■S*,' home of G. C. Zollinger, who is the leader of the club. At this place several of the boys got their first experience in giving a hoof trimming demonstration. A calf was thrown and the hoofs trimmed and fitted. Mr. Ainsworth complimented the club members on the progress they have made but emphasized need of intensive feeding and care during the next two months. The calves will be shown at the County Fair In. September. HORSE SHOE PITCHING CONTEST AT STATE FAIR The Indiana State Fair, which will be held September 1 to 8, offers the same prizes of S4OO again in the horseshoe pitching contest as they have for the last four years.

The horseshoe pitching contest will start Monday mornihg, September % at eight o’clock and will be continued each day from eight to twelve, until flnLshed.

As we have some good teams of horses and good horseshoe pitchers in this country, there Is no reason why they should not enter these contests and carry off sonie%f the prizes For further informalioii write E.
