NARCISSUS, 1932 'Twill murmcr on ct thouscmcl years And flow as now it flows. PERU---A RECREATIONAL CENTER FROM the very day in 1826 when this part of Indiana which we call our old home town changed from an Indian possession to a Govern- ment possession, Peru has been rich in tradition and legend. In its earliest days, this community was known as Miamisport. At that time the Wabash river was the most important artery of trade and com- merce, and Peru profited greatly from the travel which came up and down the river. Soon after 1830 the little village of Miamisport found itself in the path of the great Wabash-Erie Canal, which paralleled the Wabash river. Al- though this canal never was a paying proposition to the State of Indiana, it contributed a great deal to the growth and prosperity of this little village. This canal altered greatly the life of the com- munity. It made possible such advances as fac- tory and shop-which had previously been of little importance. The main street of the town was First Street because it faced, or rather, paralleled the canal. Shops and factories sprang up and the building of one of them still stands. The Hackley Plow was invented by one of Miamisport's leading citizens. In those days the biggest problem of the farmer was to keep his implements in repair. The great advantage of the Hackley Plow was its de- tachable plow-point. If the point were broken it could be removed and replaced by a new one which could be obtained at Miamisport. Needless to say, this industry thrived. Boatloads of scrapiron Page Four were shipped via the canal and the Hackley Plow Works contributed immensely to the growth of the town. The building still stands on East First Street that housed this concern and if one looks closely on the front of the Standard Cabinet Fac- tory, he can see the dim words-Hackley Plow Works. But the canal was doomed. A greater day was coming. With the advent of the railroad the canal was quickly abandoned. Since those days, Peru has grown to be recognized as a railroad town. The Lake Erie Sz Western fwhich later became part of the Nickel Platej, the Wabash and the C. and O. railroads all pass through Peru, and until recently all these railways have considered Peru as a division point. It can very truthfully be said that since the coming of the railroad, Peru's growth has been very largely due to the railroad business. Near the beginning of the 20th century, a new type of transportation made itself known-the electric railway. Peru again became a center for various systems, the Indiana Union Traction, the Wabash Valley Traction, and the Winona Trac- tion, all contributing to Peru's prosperity and growth. But today we are witnessing a death-struggle between the electric and steam railroads on one side, and the bus and auto-truck on the other. Electric transportation seems to be losing and many lines are being abandoned. Soon we are to
