The hills Just bnck OF the village rise
abruptly and stand as sentinels over the
quiet citizens below. The place derives
its namo from the Indians, meaning the
meeting Of tho waters, tho Minnesota
coming In from the left as yOu stand
looking out from Mendoza and the Mis-.
issippi from the right, forming n conilu-
ence at the foot OF tho hills which cncir-
clio the village. These hills average
height Of at least 200 feet and are cut by
ravines which can be made natural and
easily graded highways and most of the
hills and ravincs are covered by a fine
growth OF trees.
Here quietly rcposes the modest little
town. Emerging from the bustling ac-
tivity OF either of tho two great cities,
which seem to embrace the place in their
brawny arms, one almost feels the still
ness which pervadcs the streets though
here and there one finds few struggling
teams, n pretty brunette half breed, some
worthy Trenchmen, a brick hotel, q few
country stores, a nostoilicc, school
house, a Catholic church aud the old Gem.
ctery near by. One Of tho most marked
and attractive historical features of the
place is the old stone house near tho rail
road tracks erected by Gen. Ii. ii. Sib-
ley, of st. Paul. MINI, in the year 1885,
or ffty-two years ago, and which Is the
oldest stone dwelling In the state. Gen.
Sbley was tho first state governor Of
Minnesota, was the first delegate to con.
gress, the first major general and after

Is enc of her most hOnorcd citizens.
