The old ferry settles a few more inches into the water as a modern tractor rolls onto the wooden deck, and Captain Charles White unties the boat and fires up the motor.

It's planting season, and the Darwin Ferry believed to be the last operating on the Wabash River is ready for another trip to the Indiana bottomlands. The ferry, which is at least 20 years old, is owned by local farmers. Their corn and soybean fields are separated by 500 feet of rushing water, with the nearest bridge 45 miles away. "Otherwise, I couldn't farm over there," said Jerry Gard, who raises crops in Illinois and Indiana. The alternative would be crossing the bridge at Terre Haute or Hutsonville and driving around, and that wouldn't be feasible." But this farming season may be grees to push the ferry in either direction.

Wires connected to a pair of overhead cables running between the river banks keep the ferry on course. At one time there were 50 ferries operating across the Wabash River at places like Prevo, Bonn and Old York, said Clarence Latbrop, who ran the ferry for 22 years until he retired In 1980. But one by one, all but the Darwin Ferry disappeared, said Lathrop, 77. Ferries have run at Darwin since 1818, when John McClure put the first one into the river. The town was known as McClure in those days and soon became a bustling hub of commerce and the seat of government for Clark County.

"There used to be a bell on each side of the river to signal the ferry but you couldn't keep them they'd get stolen," said Lathrop. the last for the ferry, which is showing its age and is too small for modern farm equipment. A new, larger boat may take over its job by the end of the summer. During the busy farming seasons, White said machinery often is lined up waiting to get on the ferry when he arrives just before dawn. "That motor doesn't shut off," he said.

"The ferry just bumps one side of the river and then the other." The boat is just 16 feet wide and 55 feet long, with 7-foot hinged loading ramps at each end. A wooden railing runs its length on each side. A small pump sucks excess water out of the hollow bottom to keep the ferry afloat A bright red box holds lifesavers, just in case. A 35-year-old tractor engine is mounted in a small flat-bottom boat attached to the side of the ferry. It can swing over 180 de nation's oldest national park and a proposed buffer zone in eastern Idaho, southwest Montana and northwest Wyoming.

The buffer zone would encompass 6 million to 8 million acres around the 2.2 million acre park. National Park Service Director William Penn Mott supports the proposal, Barbee said during a panel discussion at the coalition's annual convention Saturday. Jim Little of the Idaho Cattleman's Association had been scheduled to outline opposition to the proposal, but he failed to appear.
