WITH this issue begins the Fourth
volume of the JOURNAL. 1t is not nee
essary that we make any promises as to
its future course or character. We do
not claim it to be general news.pa-
pers. The practice adopted by some
country papers of filing their columns
with general news items and telegraph
reports we have never approved OF tol-
lowed. If a man wishes to read the gen
eral news, the best and only way, is to
subscribe for large and cheap motrop-
olitan paper. We propose to give in the
Journal share of interesting general
literature, devote some space ID the dis
cussion of important topics, political ana
other wise, but mainly to make 1t a r eli
able aud interesting Local PAPER for
Pierce and St. Croix counties. We shall
endeayor to make it reliable to the citizens
of these counties, by representing their
interests, seeking their welfare, and aid
inc to build up their wealth and improve
ment. As the parent honors the hero
or statesman and admrcs tho beauty and
talent of the actress or vo,a ist,yet turns to
he child of his heart with q deeper and
foader love, so should the citizens Of the
S.. Croix Valley, while admitting the
claims and advantages of the mammoth
city apers, e noller pride and a deep
err interests in their LOCAL Pass, for al
5eIonqs to them. People form their
opinions of any section of country from
tho appearance of its local papers. If
they wear a look of thrift and prosperity,
the country is deemed thrifty and pros
porous; if their appearance is starved and
shabby, the country is regarded as lack
ing in enterprise and advantages. But
! aper cannot dress in good taste and
create a favorable impression wherever
ii goes, unless it has prompt and gencr-
Gus patrons.
We intend to make the JoURN L n pa
per that no citizen Of these counties need
be ashamed to have go abroad rs q re-
preventative of the 81. Croix Valley. 1t
is not our style to beg for patronage, but
we would assure our readers that if they
could promptly pay their dues, and also
labor o little to extend the circulation of
tho JOURNAL, it would not detract the
high estimation in which we hold them
and to those who arc not subscribers at
present, we would suggest, that now, at
the beginning of tho volume, is very
favorable time to become such.

Old SETTLERS MEETING.

Response Ivy DR.. 0. HOYT.
The DR.. was among tho foremost Of
the Pioneers in the St. Croix Valley, and
his genial talk commemorative of events
transporting in early days, was amusing
and entertaining. He said he had often
done without the ncccssaries of life, as
the winter stores became exhausted be-
fore spring, and no way in which provis-
ions could be obtained. He said in 1850
where are now the best business streets
in Hudson, you could with difficulty get
along, on account ofbushes. The speak
err closed by relating an incident of one
present who had used up all his supply
of tobacco except one plug that wns very
musty. Seeinga boat coming up the
lake, he threw his musty tobacco in the
brush, aud went down to the boat to GET
a fresh irply; but unfortunately. there
was none Oh board. Our friend, said the
Dr., returned and tore his clothes nearly
off hunting in the bushes for the musty
tobacco he had thrown away. The DR..
said the unfortunate man is our Toast
Master on this occasion, (FRANKP. CAT
LIN.) The speaker was greeted with fire.

This name had its origin in the following
Indian Legend.
A brave but tresherous Sioux warrior, from
a peculiar wound received in battle, and in ae-
cordance with their custom, had been named
Whistle Belly. Afterwards, he and brother
savage became suitors for the hand of an Indi-
an GIrl. the fair SoUAMANEGoNIo and the ha-
tired of W. B. was aroused by the success of
his rival and his own rejection.
Soon after. circumstances led the favored
suitor to become the guest of this willy savage,
who offered the customary pipe and dish OF
boiled wild rice. As these We're held sacred
emblems of hospitality among them. the un-
suspecting brave partook of the proffered sus-
tenancc in wh4ch the trecherous w. b. had
mixed deadly poison.
The lovely Squamanegonic. frantic with
grief at the loss of her lover drowned herself
in Lake which to this day bears her name,
and the savages believe that her soul bresthes
forth in the delicate aroma of the white lilies
in which this beautiful Lake abounds. w. B.
was executed with all the tortures that savage
ingenuity could devise.
Ever afterwards, among the North Western
tribes. wild ice has bore the name of "Whis-
tie Belly's Vengeance Its form has lowey
er undergone a slight chan .e at the hands
Of the luTabermen ofthe ST. Croix Valley.

vor. The three rouslng cheers given in
response to the Toast to the Host and
Hostess, gave abundant evidence that all
were treated as Mr.. and Mrs. HENN1Na
always treat their company-that is, just
rs they should.
We hope this may be but the first of a
long series Of such meetings, and that a
Society will be formed which shall be one
of the institutions of the St. Croix Val.
lev, and whose records will be read in
coming Time" when this is no longer
the "West." The value of such societies
can hardly be overrated. They not only
afford pleasure to the members, by bring
ing them together in social concourse, and
thus awakening the pleasant rsccolleetions
and bringing more wildly to mind the
thrilling incidents of other and earlier
days, but they collect matters of interest
pertaining to the early settlement of the
country, which will be of great value to
the future historian, and which would
otherwise be forgotten when the Old Pio-
neers had gone to that ''far-off Land"
and our early settlements, vanished at the
approach of a better civilization.
Hoping we may find occasion to attend

10. The Pioneer Press.
Response by Col. ]. HUHGEs.
The COL SAID he was tho first man
who ever published paper in the North
West. He came to St. Paul and started
paper when it was but a very small vii
lage. From there he cmo to Hudson
and issued the first paper above La
Crosse on the Wis. side. He said he
brought bis type and raised the boys to
set them. He paid a handsome compli-
ment to the Press in the st. Croix Val
ley and the generosity of its supporters.
He spoke at considerable length of the
difficulties to be encountered in publish
ing paper in new country, and clos

ences it had in building up the institu.

Response by JUDGE FULLER.

The Judge, who for the past six years
has Travelled through the unsettled por-
tons of this Judicial District, had many
interesting adventures to relate. He
spoke of the feelings Of del ght with
which lie saw the steamboat coming up
the lake that was bringing Wife and a
Mother to his Pioneer Home. He said
his dwelling with Nature was rs beau
tiful dream, and he felt in its fullness the
so we'll told truth,
There is a pleasure in the painless woods.
The Judge spoke at considerable length
Of the past history and present prospects
of the St. Croix Valley. He said the vi.
brations of the Indian war-whoop had
given way to the vibrations of a more
modern and less terrible hoop; and the
battle-cry Of Indian warriors h d given
place to the more terrible cry of white
Infantry. The speaker sat down amid
great applause.
5. The Lunbermen of the st. Croix
Valley THE Pioneers Of n. w. Wis
consin and her sister state, Minnesota.
Response by JOS. BOWRON.
Mr.. Bowron, said the Lumbermcn were
as expressed in the sentiment, the pio-
neers in the St. Croix Valley. When he
arrived at the Falls of st. Croix, in the
spring of 1912, there was not farm
ope ned in the whole North West. Most
of the land OH the ST. Croix waters was
purchased by Government in 1886, and
until 1912 all the white men in the coun-
try were engaged in the fur trade. Soon
after 1912, it being known that there
were large quantities of pine on the new
purchase, many began to come in with
view to the numbering business. He
spoke of the rough fare to which the
lumbermen were subje5ted-said the on
ly table luxury they enjoyed was occa-
sionally dish Of boiled wild rice, called
by them, "Whistle-Belly-V Vengeance. ~
