THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Early Publishers at Other Than
the Leading Points.


There would be volume of interest
in tracing tina lives of the editors who
have made Minnesota. and In noting the
labors. strug sleS, trials and trlumphs,
and of those who worked in the early ter
ritorial years in sun ller spheres than
the ones | have named in some detail
but this single paper, already too long,
cannot include even mention OF
many.
vens, who has given us such an excel
lent tribute 10 the pioneer editor of the
state, was himself an editorial writer
for the st. Anthony Express in 1851,
and in 1856 he bought the Glencoe Reg
lister of l.. l.. Baxter. now judge. and,
removing there, combined farming
and editing until 1852. when he re-
turned to the city. and has since pub
lished agricultural papers and con-
Quoted agricultural departments in pa
perS he did not own.
Among other early ventures was the
Sank Rapids FrontierSman, which ap-
peared in April. 1855, with Jeremiah
Russell for proprietor and w. FL. Wood,
then an attorney at Sank Rapids, editor.
The press upon which it was printed
was the original one brought to Mime
sofa by Mr.. Goodhue, and 1t continued
to do loyal pioneer duty after it had
outlived its usefulness in st. Paul.
After three or four years the paper
suspended. and Russell gave Wood
the outfit for his editorial services, and
he in turn started the New Era in 1859.
Mrs. Julia A. Wood, the widow of this
early editor. is with us today at this
convention, hale and hearty, and is still
editing paper at Sank r apids (the
Free aPress), which can properly be
termed the continuation of the Front
ierSman of 1855. Mrs. w ood's literary
work has attracted much attention for
many years, and she ranks next to Maj.
Hotchkin, and only one year behind
him. as the oldest of the early journal

writer ever in the state, conducted his

P. Hall for $4,000, and permanently
retired from journalism. He is at pres

DESTITUTION IN THE WEST.
TERRIBLEEFFECTS OF DROUTH
The Sufferers Must starvc, Emigrate or
be Fed BY Charity.

An appeal for the drouth stricken portion OF
Nebraska, signed by n committee, has been
sent to Governor shouse OF that state. IL
rccites that the commtte has just returned
from an extended visit to the section through
which the hot winds destroyed crops. The
committee explains that It has reason to be-
lieve, from all II hasbeen told. that thousands
OF families will "either starve, emigrate or
be fed by charity unless the people as whole.
provide for them" The committee suggests
as n solution Of the problem that special
session Of the Legislature be called i'm.
mediatcly to devise a State system OF irriga-
tion. and that the drouth-stricken district
be given employment on the bitches. The
committee locates most OF the distres west OF
Grand Island and Holdredgc.
Governor Shouse is at present ont Of the
State. The general impression is that the
crop failures are not complete and that with
economy, little actual suffering will result
without State aid. The locality in which
the drought was most severe has been troubl-
cd periodically since Nebraska was made n
state. IL includes several counties In which
the soil is very sandy and requires ut least
one-third more rainfall or water than other
farming lands in the adjacent counties.
