HOW ST. PAUL GOT ITS NAME
Story of Little Log Chapel Told Be-
fore Historical Society, ., 49,

A resolution asking congress to set aside
the&old barracks at Fort Smelling as sort
OF historical park was adopted last night
at the capitol, ST.. Paul, by the executive
council of the Minnesota Historical So
ciety.
A paper upon 1.-The Chapel of st. Paul.
was read before the council by Rev. Am
brose McNulty. pastor Of st. Luke's Cath
Ollie church. The first Christian church in
Minnesota, he said was erected at From
tenac in 1927. The second church in the
state was the chapel of st. Paul built by
Father Lucien Galtier. in October, 1S41,
on Bench (Second). street, St. Paul, be-
tween Cedar and Minnesota streets. The
future city took it's name from this chapel
The little church, IS by 25 feet and 10
feet. high, was made of logs from trees
felled on the site. The roof, the floor and
the benches within were made Of slabs
brought from a. sawrnill at Saltwater. The
chapel cost $685.. It was raised by eight
men who executed the Carpentry with
their axes. OF these eight only one man
survives--Isaac Labissoniere now in his
S0th wear, who lives at SIS Canada street,
st. Paul. * The building was used as a
church until 1851. 1t was then occupied
as a school by the Sisters Of St. Joseph.
1t was torn down in 1865. -
" Father McNulty, Dr. Charles r. Konr
anti Of ST., Paul, and DR.. Henry G.. Idrich
of Minneapolis were elected last night life
life members of the Historical society. -

A NICE QUESTION
Polk County Division Will Perplex
y the State Canvassing Board.

The state canvas sing board will have A
troublesome time over Polk county's vote
on county division when it meets next
Tuesday. Owing to the awkward con-
struction of the Jaw. a curious state of af-
fairs presents itself. Three propositions
for county division were carried, each re-
ceiving more aflirma tive than negative
votes. The three propositions cover the
same extent of territory. carving out the
east end of Polk into new county. The
only difference Is that in each case the
county. has different name, different
county seat, and different county COM
missioners.. The largest number of votes
We're cast for Columbia county. with Nc
Intosh for, the county seat. but the friends
Of Nelson county, with Fosston for the
county seal make two claims. One Is
that their petition was fled first, and
hence has priority of choicie. The other
is that within the limits Of the new county
Nelson got more votest han Columbia
and that the! 1atter's big vote came from
the remainder Of the county, not directly
concerned in the controversy The third
county, Star. with Erskine for the county
seat, got 3. ma Jority. but the least of the
three. and has no particular claim.
It is doubtful whether the canvas ing
board will undertake to decide the dispute.
IT. is supposed TO be limited in its func-
tions to counting the! votes. and cannot
entertain a, contest. Something will de-
pand, however, on how the board counts
the votes.

TO FORM A NEW CLUB
An Attractive Plan Proposed by Res
idents of Lowry Hill, Sunny
side and Kenwood.
A Well Appointed Clubhouse for
" That District Is the End
in View.

A handsomely appointed all-the-year-
round clubhouse is soon to be erected in
the Lowry Hill district:if the enthusiasm
which has marked the inception Of the
movement continues. For the past few
weeks papers have been circulated, in
Lowry HILL Sunnyslde. Green's addition
and Kenwoed signifying the desire of the
signers for the establishing of such a club
convenient to the districts named. 1T was
estima ted that 200 charter members would
be sufficient to insure funds enough for a
club without placing prohibitive burden
upon any individual. The requisite num-
Der was easily secured and the first meet
ing will be held next Saturday evening in
the lecture room Of Lowry Hill Congre-
gational church. An informal committee
responsible for calling the meeting is com
posed Of Jesse Northrup, Clinton Stacy G..
J. Tryon and James H. Long. 49," !
The four districts interested in the pro-
.ieeted& club are, Contiguous and. taken to-
aether,, represent the newest and largest
well-to-do residence area; of the city. 1t
is a neighborly section. but has never had
any one central interest to bring the resi-
dents together; nor have there been any
conyeniences for such meetings, social or
otherwise. While plans for the new club
the still much in the embyro, the general
idea, as subscribed to on. the paper cir
culated, provides first of all for a family
institutions. Bowling alleys and billiard
| rooms would be provided for ladies' and
gentlemen and the usual club fea lures
such as reading, card and assembly rooms
| would not be overlooked. One thing which
all have agreed upon as esentfal,is a fine,
large dancing floor and a cafe department
| is another suggestion All'features Of this
kind are still to be passed upon, however,
and at the meeting Saturday evening a
committee will be named to consider all
! suggestions and to- submit, a = actical
| working plan for the organization. + -
| While the financial end of the projected
! club. has been -canNassed only in an in
forrnaI~way as yet. it is believed that from
! SIS. 00o@ to $4,000 will be available at the
start for the acquisition of ground and
the erection of the building. This would
represent :cniy the beginning upon which
| to build more deliberately as the organize
ton advanced in age and membership. The
best known people in the territory affected
are already interested in the movement
and the general attitude toward the prof.
ect It's: why didn't anybody think Of it
before?, Ee'.sE 5f's.2 r .,:.'a. - !, -

MILLING co. ANNUAL
The Washburn-C Crosby Co. Meets to
Review the Business of the
Year.
Three Heads Of Departments Are
Promoted to the Directorate
Canadian Wheat Situation.

The Washburn- Crosby company held its
annual meeting in the offices of the COM
pany In the Flour Exchange yesterday
afternoon. The old officers were re-
elected, James s. Bell president; William
H. Dunwoody, vice president; John Wash
burn, second vice president; Charles j.
Martin, secretary and treasurer. The di-
rectorate was enlarged and strengthened
by the addition of three new names.
Charles Cranston Bovey, traffic manager,
Frederick c. Atkinson, head of the gen
eral office force, and Peter B. Smith of the
St. Anthony & Dakota Elevator company
were added to the board.
:-r'> For Canadian Wheat.
The company took no new action in re-
gard to the rebuilding Of the Humboldt
mill and the plans will be carried out as
originally announced some time ago. 1t is
the intention Of the company to have
this one mill under bond at all times to
provide for. the milling of Canadian wheat
with the least possible annoyance from
governmental regulations. The expert
ment Of grinding this Canadian wheat
proved successful last year and the COM
pany will continue its policy in this re-
spect. To what extent Canadian wheat
will come here: for milling this season is
impossible to determine as yet When
the Canadian wheat crop comes to be
marketed the relative differences in prices
will be the important considerations. II
the present cash situation here continues
until Canadian wheat begins to move, the
prospect is for receipts of Canadian wheat
greatly in excess of last year.
