national) Up Salt River' Meant Death In Other Days Columbin, Mo. (UP)-A A poliwho has suffered the somewhat humiliating experience of failing to win' an election is sometimes said 10 have "gone up Sult River." Floyd Shoemaker, secretary of the Missouri Historical Society, got curious about the legend of Salt River, which wanders through northenst Missouri and empties into the Mississippi, and found what may be the derivation of expression. A generation before Missouri became a state, the term meant failure of another sort, It sometimes meant death. The Salt River country in 1190 was inhabited by tribe of Indians called the Sacs who had no love for the white man. The country also was spotted with suit deposits and the Ture of profits from the sale of salt for a meat preservative led many explorers to the reaches of the river in quest of the white gold.

Many never returned; the Sacs massacred them, destroyed their tools and curried off their supplics. Others escaped with their lives, but lost life savings to the savage Inciuns, The adventurer into the saline country was Mathurin Bouvet of St. Louis, a French trapper, who had heard of the salt deposits from roving Indians. Ho led an expedition up the Salt River in 1792 and landed at 3 spot seven miles northwest of the present town of New London. Hav.

ing chosen the site, he returned LO St. Louis for supplies and equipment. While he was en route, the Sacs carried off his tools, kettles and horses. Undaunted, Bouvet set up a salt furnace and built a warchouse, a dwelling and several other buildings. The Sacs destroyed those in short order, and it took Bouvet two years to raise enough money, provisions and equipment Lo return.

This time, he established a small settlement- -the first in what is now Marion county. For Ave years, he produced sult. and shipped it 20 St. Louis. But the Sacs finally came again.

In the Spring of 1800, the story goes, the Sacs attacked the settle.ment, killing most of the inhabitans, including Bouvet, and' stroying the salt works. Three others. Charles Gratict, Augustin Charles, Fremon Delauriere and Louis -followed Bouvet into the salt country but were driven out by Sacs. Finally, in 1817. the drat' permanent settlement was established in the territory.

It is now known as Spalding and has a population of persons according LO the 1940 census.
