The hills just back of the village rise
abruptly and stand as sentinels over the
quiet citizens below. The place derives
its name from the Indians, meaning the
meeting Of the waters, the Minnesota
coming in from the left as you stand
locking out from Mendoza and the Mis-
issippi from the right, forming confu-
ence at the foot Of the hills which encir-
Gle the village. These hills average a
height Of ut least 200 feet, and are cut by
ravines which can be made natural and
easily graded highways, and most of the
hills and ravines are covered by fine
growth Of trees.
Here quietly reposes the modest little
town. Emerging from the bustling &C
tivity OF either of the two great cities,
which seem TO embrace the place in their
brawny arms, one almost feels the still
ness which pervades the streets, though
here and there one finds few struggling
teams, a pretty brunette half breed, some
worthy Frenchmen, a brick hotel, few
country stores, postofiice, a school
house, Catholic church and the old Gem
etery near by. One OF the most marked
and attractive historical features Of tho
place Is the old stone house near the rail
road tracks, erected by Gen. II. II. Sib-
ley, Of st. Paul. MINI, In the year 1880,
or hfty-two years ago, and which is the
oldest stone dwelling In the state. Gen.
Sibley was the first state governor Of
Minnesota. was the first delegate to con
gress, the first major general, and after a
residence Of fifty-three years in the state
Is one Of her most honored citizens.
At Mendoza, too, are the Oldest church
and the oldest cemetery. On Pilot Knob,
high point of land back of the village,
Senator Douglas, over a quarter Of cen.
tury ago, desired 10 place the capital Of
the state and there, in the future, say
some enthusiastic Minnesota men, will be
the center Of one great city with popu-
lation of 100000.

Almost midway between Minnesota's

nesting under the hills on the west side
of the Mississippi river and looking down
on the Fatherof Waters and the tortuous

can conceive the intense love which the
Sioux Indians once bore for this place
prior to and during the early territorial
days, before the civilizing influences Of
the railroads cut into its green covered
hills or choked up its pearly brooks or
scarifed its undulating natural lawns, for
here they roamed in undisturbed security.
