Panama Canal Treaty Ratified.

The Panama canal treaty was ratified by
the Senate Tuesday by vote OF 73 to 5.
Senators Morgan and Pettus OF Alabama
Daniels and Martin Of Virginia and Teller
OF Colorado cast the votes in opposition.

amendments relating to fortifying the can
al and disclaiming the purpose OF the
United States TO acquire territory in Cen
trail or South America, but they were de-
feated and the treaty was ratified exactly
as drawn. The next step is the ratification
Of the same treaty by the Colombian Con-
gress, which seems assured, then the pay
ment of S40,0O0,000 to the Panama COM
pany, being the purchase price Of that
eompany's properties and rights, after

EARLY MAPLETON
SETTLEMENT.
Paper Read by Joseph Dobie Before Old
Settlers June 10.


In the year A. D. 1855, in the city of
New York an association was organized
called the Minnesota Settlement associ-
alton. It's object was TO emigrate to the
territory of Minnesota and there settle
in a body. They proposed to lay out a
city and for each member to have lot
in the city and have farm outside.
''But the best land scheme of mice and
man gang aft aglee" and so,with this
city that the Mapleton colony tried to
plant. The site selected for said city
was on the township line between town
ships l07 ,on range 27,the townships after
ward named Mapleton and Sherman but
later changed to Sterling and Mapleton.
The town of Mapleton was changed to
Sterling and the town of Sherman to

were bound to get to the front and con-
sequently made themselves known. This
colony came in a body, starting from
New York about the middle of April,
1856, and was joined by members at diff
ferent points along the way. 1t had a
membership of about $50 members,
which with their families in all made
between three and four hundred. But
many of the members being mechanics
and had been brought up in the cities,
when they saw the savages and wilds of
Minnesota had no time for the great city
they intended building, but made their
way back east as soon as they could.
This colony came by train to Duluth

news of the murder of the people of
Springfield (now Jackson). Strange In
dams of hostile character made their
appearance near Madelia, which caused
great excitement. The people sent to
Mankato for help. A company of TWEEN
ty-eight volunteered to go to the relief

pie in the vicinity of Garden City went

They staid three of four days then re-
turned to their homes. The spring of
81, was very cold and backward, very
little farming was done till the first day
OF May. All the remaining public lana
was pre-empted during that summer.
The mills furnished lumber for building
purposes.
Samuel Fulsom built the first hotel in
Garden City. The first school house was
built in the summer of 81 on the ground
where the present school building now
stands.
John Dagget taught the first term of
school. The hard times of '55 and sc
were severely felt by the early settlers.
Many suffered hardships and privations.
There was but little wheat raised and the
farmers had but little if anything to
SELL Many families were at times with
out necessary food and clothing for their
comfort. Some families at times lived
upon corn meal ground in coffee mill. |
This period was known as Johnny cake |
times Many were obliged to borrow
money to pre-empt their land with and
pay two per cent per month. The money
loaner soon foreclosed the mortgage and
the settler lost his home and moved on to
settle other new countries. The old set
tiers of territorial days are getting to be
few in number. Many of us have passed
