nesota did not then produce enough
wheat to keep the millstones at the
falls going.
Within few years this state Of at
fairs was reversed. Farmers in the
vicinity of Minneapolis produced
enough to supply the mills. In fact
so rapid was the advance In farm
ing operations for g. time the wheat
raised in southern Minnesota easily
found another market than Mime
|apolis. For some years Rochester was
one Of the great wheat markets, and
Red Wing enjoyed the distinction Of
being an important market for a
time. Wheat even Travelled out Of the
Minnesota river past Minneapolis to
the st. Louis market. It Is said that
the first wheat to be raised in the
state and marketed outside was some
grown near LIE Sueur and shipped by
steamboat direct to ST. Louis.
After the war conditions began to
change, and. with the rapid growth
Of the milling industry, the demand at
Minneapolis became large enough to
could be pro1tably shipped to this
place. Still there was no market. The
Minneapolis Millers' association,
formed in 1857, and maintained In va
rious forms Of organization for nearly
twenty years, controlled the situation,
buying what wheat was wanted for
the mills and fixing the price. AS
nearly all that was offered could be
handled by the mills, the association
dominated the market, and there was
little place for outside buyers or COM
mission dealers.
| notwithstanding this condition of at
fairs, the certainty Of change In
methods and the establishment Of an
open market impressed itself upon
men familiar with grain buying and

It was that at the point where the
greatest milling industry Of the world
was to grow up the very first wheels
to turn should be for the making of
-four.
Not until many years after tho army
mill had fallen into disuse was 1t dis
covered that Minnesota and the great
northwest was, Of all places in the
country, the best adapted to the grow
Ing of wheat Of superior milling
quality. For almost fifty years the
progress Of both farming and milling
was slow. For thirty years the old
one at the Falls Of St. Anthony. Then,
In 1851, small custom mill was built
by r. G. Rogers-a one-run mill with
no commercial significance. Not until
1854 did commercial milling begin. This
was with the completion of a mill
built by John Rollins, John Eastman
and R. P. Upton. True, this mill would
not pass as worth anything in a coun-
try Village to-day; but it was a gen.
uine merchant mill and was the real
beginning of -four manufacturing at
Minneapolis. a.....
During the next few years several
small mills were added to the infant
industry at the falls, but not until
after the war was there any sign Of
the future greatness which the bust
ness was to achieve. In those days
Minnesota was quite without transpor-
tation facilities of the modern kind.
All connection with the east was by
steamboat to some river point west
Of Chicago, where transfer must be
made. When the first shipment of
flour was made in 1858 it cost $2.25
per barrel to send it to Boston. And,
besides the difficulties Of transporta-
ton. there was the still more potent
difficulty of lack Of grinding material.
Little wheat was raised In the Mime
apolis territory previous to 1860. Set
tiers were few and not well estab-
lished. They raised little except for
their own use. It is related that some
of the first wheat ground at Mime
apolis came UP the river on steam
boats from Iowa.
While the milling industry was

great change in business conditions,
and Minneapolis milling felt the i'm
pulse in a decided way. Railroad build
ing was taken up and settlers poured
into the northwest by thousands. Min
neapolis millers saw that at last there
would be supply of wheat and way
to ship their flour. Shrewd business
men began to flock to the city in num-
bers. In 1855 Governor G. G. Wash burn
OF Wisconsin, brother Of w. D. Wash
burn Of Minneapolis, became interested
In Minneapolis milling, and his in
vestments and enterprises laid the
foundations Of the present Wash burn
Crosby company. Three years later
Charles A. Ptllsbury came to Mime
apolis, and the great business now in
the control Of the Pillsbury- Washburn
Flour Mills company was established.
Within a few years all the we'll
known names In the milling business
l-Loring, Dunwoody Christian, Cros-
by, Barber and others-were added to
the list OF active Minneapolis millers.
These men were not only pioneers
Of great industry, but they were in
Ventors, hnanciers and industrial gen
erals. They found a business con-
Quoted on old lines--with mill stones
and the crude machinery for purifca-
ton which was the best known forty
years ago. Within few years thew
had adopted new inventions or made
them themselves, had brought from
Europe and improved the roller
process Of grinding wheat, and, in
1878, when The Minneapolis Journal
was founded, were producing from
northern spring wheat a better grade
of flour than the world had ever seen.

ton, both afterwards members OF the
Chamber of Commerce. Colonel
George D. Rogers, now secretary Of
the Chamber Of Commerce, was the
senior partner in the firm Of Rogers s.
Wright.
Conditions under which business
was done by the grain men In 1873
only twenty-five years ago-were, to
say the least, not very encouraging.
The Millers' association had much the
best Of the situation. A large part Of
the wheat which the commission DEAL
ers could handle was Of a quality
which the mills would not use. This
made it difficult to build up trade.
For tho there was a beginning OF
shipping demand for northwestern
wheat. it was for the most part from
millers who wanted good grain.
Besides this general wet blanket
ton was private and grades were to a
considerable extent uncertain. There
was practically no elevator capacity;
what there was was used by the mills.
There was no Chamber Of Commerce,
no quotations from other markets ex-
cept at private expense. and very
waukee and North-W Western roads were
the only ones leading to the east and
south.
But business was carried on some-
what vigorously In that year of 1878.
It was the first one in the history Of
the city when Minneapolis had figured
as a shipping market. In 1875 1920
bushels Of wheat had been shipped:
in 1877, 21,200 bushels. In 1878 the
total shipments jumped to 2O9,60O
bushels, and tho they fell off little
for the next two years, a beginning
had, been made and the market had
been advertised.
In this same year of. 1873 the total
wheat receipts at Minneapolis We're
1851, 040 bushels. Most Of this, as has
been said. was handled directly to the
mills. tho q considerable quantity
passed thru the two elevators in town.

rs Minneapolis -four mills were respon-
sible for the beginnings Of the grain
trade of the city. The first grain
shipped into the city in early days
came to supply the pioneer mills; and,
strange as it may seem to the grain
men Of to-day. the first wheat brought
to Minneapolis in quantity came from
Iowa and Illinois. This carrying of
Goals to Newcastle did not last long,
