The Redwood gazette., 1902-02-12

The dividing line on the north was
fixed at the center Of the great la6es
and of the river forming the COM
munlcation between them up to and ,1 9
through Lake Superior to the Long
Lake (Rainy Lake. thence through
the middle of said Long Lake and
the water .communications between
it and the Lake of the Woods, to the
said Lake Of the Woods, thence
through said lake to the most north
western point thereof and from
thence on a due west course to the
river Mississippi.
In answer to the possible query
why does our boundary line jut
up into the Lake of the Woods IN
such a singular way2
Because when the. treaty of Ghent
was drawn the British ministers
were anxious to give Canada front
age on the great lakes but bad not a
sufficient knowledge of the locality
where the natural boundary must
terminate to enable them to locate
itmore definitely. When the con-
vention came to fix the line west
fromsLake of the Woods to the Mis-
sissippi all must have been guess
work, as so far as history goes no
one knew anything about it.
A foot note to the treaty of Paris
says ''The maps Of the period put
down the course OF the river above
the forty-ffth parallel as ''the Mis-
sissippi by Congection. On Oct.
20, 1918, it was finally agreed to
draw line due south from the sup
posed point to the 10Th parallel and
this line together with the line first
drawn forms the acute angle which

But why did we buy it at that

England, New York, Pennsylvania

the whole country at that time were
opposed to it. Was it military
necessity No. Had Congress
made an appropriation for the pur-
chase? No. Was there in the con-
stitntion as then understood any

The cause which led up to the
purchase dated back to the demand
Iof the early settlers In Kentucky
and along the Ohio and Cumberland
rivers for free trade on the Missis-
sippi Tor their products and the
right OF deposit and sale IN New
Orleans then held by Spain without

s. These hardy pioneers had drifted
over the Blue Rid dge5and made their
homes infthe most varied and pros
life agricultural region 10 the world
and vet the country was compara
lively valueless without a place of
of trafc and right of storage until
sales could be made.
p Their grievances had been brought
before Congress time and again
.Without=a a favorable result, until it
became evident that the government
could not project them and relieve
their. commerce from oppressive and
ruinous duties before it could reach, !,
the markets of the world
Our government still under the
old confederacy and nolonger bound
by the cohesive elements of the war
was ready to fall to pieces because
of its inherent weakness s Finally
under the treaty of Madrid on Oct,
30, 1875, Spain conceded to our
people the free navigation of the
Mississippi and the right to use the
port Of New Orleans as a place of
deposit and sale for three years.
The new treaty gave great satisfac-
ton to the west. The settlements
prospered under its operation and
the influence Of the government
over elements heretofore so dis
cordant was greatly strengthened.
The Redwood gazette., 1902-02-12

The Spaniard could always. be de-
pended on to do the most impolite
thing possible. and in this instance
he promptly declared the terms of
the treaty ended at expiration of
three years and issued an order
prohibiting trade and deposit in
New Orleans This measurearonsed
great indignation in the west and
an expedition against New Orleans
was openly urged and contemplated.
To add to the embarrassment
of the government Louisiana was.
ceded to France by Spain on Sept.
10Th. 1900. This added greatly to
the difficulties of the situation. The
President and congress took alarm
at once, as all had the feeling that
in the hands Of France the whole
territory would be exploited and
especially that France soon expect
ed to be at war with England. would
use the river for transportation Of
her troops and create feeling Of
.discord and uncertainty. Mr. James
Monroe was sent to Paris to assist
Robt. R. Livingston, our minister to:
France, in the effort to treat for the
purchase OF New Orleans. with the.
view that the city once in our hands
the settlers of the west would be.
pacifed and that some restraint
could be held over the ambitions Of
Napoleon. Messrs- Livingston and
Munroe. under the most urgent
pressure from President Jefferson.
and his cabinet. urged their mission
with great persistence for some
time without apparent result until

If Mrs. H. Peterson, of 1923
