'We have been in the wool commissions
business for many years, and we are very
extensive receivers of South Dakota wool,
and we confess that this was the prettiest
and best lot OF wool we ever received orr
ever saw from South Dakota. Your lot
brought a full cent per pound more than
our highest quotation for Dakota wool, and
just as much as our highest quotation for

way. 4

MINNESOTA NAVIGATION.
Recital of Some of the Early
Steamboat Trips,

The Mankato Review of Wednes-
day contained some interesting Incl
dents of steamboating on the Mime
sofa river in the early days.
The river, it says, was navigated as
early as 1852 in connection with gov
eminent business. Not infrequently
large boats assembled to the upper aud
lower agencies and during certain
seasons the traffic was large.
On the 9TH of May, 1857, the Frank
Steele arrived here with large party of
families from Cincinnati who came to
join the settlers who had made the
trip overland the year before. The
river at this time was very high.
In July two years later the jeanette
Roberts went to Fort Ridgley with
100000 pounds. of freight. The
Favorite, the jeanette Roberts and
the Frank Steele continued to ply
the river to this point until Septem-
Der of that year when they succumbed
to low water. In 1860 the thine and
Tide" went to Fl. Ridgely, although
the water was very low. The next
year the large boats like the Favorite
again assembled the river to the Fort
with ease, and the jeanette Roberts
even reached the Upper Sioux Agency.
On the 30th of April the Favorite
took down Capt. Morris company of
light artillery with equipments from
Fort Ridgley to St. Paul. About the
middle of June the Favorite and
Frank Steele took excursion parties to
the Fort and the jeanette carried 100
tons of freight to the Lower Sioux
Agency. About the first of July the
larger boats were withdrawn and we're
succeeded by lighter crafts until the
first of August, when barges took their
place. The navigation during the
spring and summer was light but the
jeanette succeeded in making trips to
Redwood as late as June.
Very few large boats we're used on
the river after that, but the trade be-
tween Mankato and New Ulm was
continued by means of small steamers,
the Ariel making repeated trips be-
tween the two towns until 1869.

Tribute to Nature. A recitation
Woodman Spare that Tree. Mr.. Mel
son talked to us on Arbor Day. He
said it was our duty to plant trees.
We planted three trees and named
them Washington, jefferson and Lin
coin, because we love those men. Mrs.
Walter talked to us pleasantly. She
said Redwood county needed trees.
The prairies were beautiful, but would
be more SO if trees we're planted and
cared for"
A large number of schools observed
the day but have not yet reported.
Belview has made an excellent show
ing. Good reports orally have come
to me from all over the county. Now
can we preserve the work? Can the
trees be protected from cattle, careless
drivers, fires and vandals? Let us
hope so. It there is one thing in
which Redwood county schools are
behind it is in the care of school
grounds. Little or nothing has been
done to beautify the school grounds.
With encouragement from parents
children will take much pride in keep
ing neat what they regard as their
own. Very truly,

WHAT THE w. c. T. u. IS DOING.

Last week the W. G. T. u. proved
to be a more than interesting session.
The news items in response to roll call
keeps members posted in regard to
the work at large. The semi-annual
report of officers and superintendent
of departments showed much practical
work accomplished along various lines.
Literature has been sent to lumber
ing camps of the State. Mothers
Meetings are held each month at
which topics of interest to parents are
discussed and literature distributed.
"The New Crusade" an excellent
monthly magizine, is being widely
circulated. The Supt. of Narcotics
reports several sermons and personal
talks on the subject from pastors, and
literature distributed. Special atten-
ton is called to the new tobacco law
passed at the>last session of the legis-
lature, notices of which will soon be
posted for the benefit of the public.
Services are held each Sunday after
noon in the county jail; the superin-
tendents of this work aiming to keep
in touch with prisoners after they
leave the Jail corresponding with
those serving sentence in State Prison
and Reformatory, finding employ
ment for the homeless and unempIoy-
ed, and in every way possible helping
to live honest, upright lives. AS for
several years past, homes will be found
for poor and needy children and
mothers of the cities for few weeks
outing during the summer. Mrs. H.
B. Wolff is superintendent of this de-
partment with Miss Lucy Rowe as
assistant. Mrs. H. A. Lusk as super
intendent of Scientific Temperance In
struction, also of Press work, has done
faithful work along both lines. The
various departments of local work as
we'll as w. G. T. U. Work at large is
kept before the public through the
columns of the press. Other depart
ments are being worked Limited
space forbids further report.
Mrs. H. F. Clipfell, county presi-
dent, announced the date of the coun-
ty convention for May 28th. It was
hoped that Mrs. Stella B. Irvine would
be present for an evening address and
S. S. Temperance Rally, but it
seems now quite cel tain that the lady
cannot come. Further notice will ap-
pear next week.
The last half-hour was devoted to
the monthly Mothers Meeting, with
Mrs. P. D. Hitchcock in charge. The
programme for the session was re-
