We have not included the investment of capital

boards into beautiful and substantial doors,

of course at much cheaper rates than these al

take a look through this establishment.
The st. Paul Iron Foundry and Machine Shop,
situated in the vicinity of the lower saw mill,
is new branch of manufacturing among us,
having gone into operation during the past
winter. 1t is the first establishment of the kind
above Galena. All descriptions of castings, for
machinery or other purposes, are now turned
out. The business is yet in its infancy, but will
be increased as rapidly as custom and facilities
afford.

Advance, Commercially.


Nothing will better partially illustrate the
steady and healthy advance of st. Paul as an
important mart of trade and commerce, than
the increase in the number of steamboat arri-
walls from year to year. The number of arri-
walls in 1918 was, as near as we can now come
at the true figure, Al; in 1S49, 70; in 1885, lO4:
in 1851, ll9; in 1852, III. But, as we have
remarked, although this is good illustration
OF our steady increase. commercially, it is only
partial one. Had we any means of getting
at the comparative increase in the amount Of
ffe'shf which has been shipped to this port
from below during the past five years. we could
find therein nearer correct data. This we
have not. We will therefore state some obscr.
vations and incidents unsupported by figures.
When We arrived in st. Paul in the month of
May, ls49, the mercantile business consisted
of: L. Roberts store at the Lower Landing:
Freeman, Larpenteur & Cos same place; Hen
ry Jackson, just closing out, in his old house at
the top Of the bluff; w. ii. Forbes, st. Paul
Outfit, Bench, between Jackson and Roberts
streets; J. W. Simpson, next door. and the
small Indian trading establishment of Olmsted
hhodes, on Third street, in the old cabin

Tue handsome new store of Mr.. Chamblin. This
'ompie'ed the Lower Town. Then you trav-

We can thus safely say, that we have in this
rising frontier metropolis, containing only. at
the outside, population of three thousand, in
vestments in mercantile and manufacturing
transactions, to the amount ofncarly one million
dollars! This is, of course, all outside the val
ue OF real estate, buildings, public and private
personal property, &c. Some of these manu-
factories are quite extensive. particularly our
saw-milis, which will readily be perceived by
the amount OF capital it requires to carry them
on. The lower mill, owned by Messrs. Cakes
d Co., is model of its kind, as we'll as good
indicator of our rise and continued progress in
the way of manufacturing As an uptown
friend remarked to us the other day, at will
make any man think more of st. Paul to take a
look through this mill" 1t now runs two up-
right saws, one circular, one cross-cut circular
and three lath saws. A single saw and plan
ing machine will be attached upon the opening

with small stock; and next above the Ameri-
: can were the Messrs. Fuller, with a somewhat
larger assortment. This was all. The capital
invested in merchandise in the entire town
could not have amounted to over $4,000.
That huge bugbear, the Fur Company now
SO frequently used to brighten refractory politi-
cans-did very limited business here at that
time. Their center was at Mendoza, where both
Mr.. Sibley and Mr.. Ricc-the then prominent
members of the Chouteau firm in this part of
the country--rcslded and did business. The
Fl anne of the American House was just up. In a
few weeks the room in the extreme east end OF
the building was finished off for store, and
was stocked and opened by Mr. Rice, who had
charge of that branch of the Fur Company S bust
ness known as the 'Winncbago and Chippewa
Outfits During the summer, DR.. Borup came
down from La POinte, and signified his deter
mination of going into business in st. Paul. Be-
fore his stock arrived, Mr. Rice had erected the
then extensive store and warehouse near the
Upper Landing, now occupied by the Messrs.
Fuller. He and the Doctor conGOcted part
nership, and the latter became member of the
Company. When they opened. lin the month
of August, we think) their shelves presented
much the largest stock ever previously seen in
st. Paul Many people prophesied there was
more goods in that establishment than would
be sold in st. Paul in five years. But their
business started off SO briskly. or the prospects
of both to become rich suddenly were so appa-
rent, or from some other cause, they did not
long agree, and Mr.. Rice left the Company. The
Doctor moved his establishment down town,
where it has remained ever since.
Late in the fall, the Mcssrs. Elicit arrived
from Philadelphia, with heavy stock of goods,
and opened in the place vacated by Mr.. Rice
and DR.. Borup. They were another exemplifi-
cation of extreme verdancy in the minds of inn
movable croakcrs. But we have yet to learn
they ever regretted the step they then took.
Other smaller establishments had risen into ex-
istence during the summer and fall and at the
close of navigation, perhaps there were $780,
900 invested in legitimate mercantile trade in
st. Paul. We presume our figure is full high,
as none of the stocks. save Elfclts were large
that season.
This, be it remembered, is three years and six
months ago. We have endeavorcd the present
week to compile an estimate, as accurately as
time and circTmst stances would admit, of the
present amount of capital invested in merchan-
disc in our go-ahead young city. BY the aid OF
some good friends, We have arrived at the fol-
lowing result. We include in the calculation
goods to arrive early after the opening of nav

Mechanics and Manufactures.

The extent of both these branches are hard
to get at accurately in so new and rapidly
changing place as this. Carpenters and joiners
are OF course the most numerous branches of
mechanics. OF these there are from $50 to
zoo, all most of the time actively employed at
their business. Bricklayers and plasterers,
painters and GLACIERS, and all the various
branches incident to the great leading business
of building, enter largely into our population
and bear equal proportion to the departments
first named. We have no data upon which to
estimate the exact number of these. Let lis cct

The Press.
Perhaps we are not the one to sketch. impar.
italy, brief history of the newspaper press
of st. Paul, or speak of it's bearing and influ.
encc upon the rise and development of our
young community. But it is, and has been. an
element too important to be passed over here.
In the annals of the Minnesota Historical
Society," for the present year, now passing
through the press, We notice biographical
sketch Of the late editor of the Minnesota Pin.
neer' In it is embodied an editorial article
from the columns Of that paper, abiding to the
subject now under consideration which con-
tains several errors of fact. We only refer;to
this because of the present association of the
article. Had it remained in the files of the Pr
oneer, and not sought page In the official his
torical annals of the Territory, its errors might
have passed unnotced, by us at least. But the
history of our newspaper press is worth writing
correctly, if it possess sufficient interest to be
at all written.
The first preparatory steps to commence the
publication of a newspaper here, were taken in
August. 1913, by Prof A. Randall. then an
attaehe Of Dr. Owens Geological corps. en-.
gagged in survey of this region by order of
Government. The project grew out of the eel
nbratcd saltwater Convention of that year. It
was this which first suggested to the mind of Mr..
RANDALL. that If there was to be Territorial or
sanization here-whether 1t be nesc Terrific

aston gear of Wisconsin-it would neccssa-

matter was finally settled by the six

AZ the same time this was being

''thanks" for the happy termination Of
the question by fixing the location Of
