(The Virginia) to ascend the Mis-
sissippi River arrived at Fort
Smelling. About this time the
first sawmill was erected il this
state and the lumber sawed WAS
used in building the fort. About
the year 1886 George Catlin and
one Featherstonehaugh came to
Minnesota The former WAS an
artist. He made sketches of the
Indians, and published statements
about his adventures. The latter
made a geological survey of the
Minnesota Valley for the govern
ment. Returning to England he
wrote book concerning his ex-
periences in the Northwest, and
the people he met. l am told
that his book reflected unjustly
upon the people he met in Mime
sofa.
In 1882 the government sent
Henry K. Schoolcroft with thirty
men to visit the Indians of the
Northwest and to make treaties
with them. While in Minnesota
this exploring party discovered
the source of the Mississippi. The
honor of the discovery has been
accorded to Schoolcroft, while the
honor of naming the lake has been
accorded to Mr.. Boutwell,, a Latin
scholar, who was in Schoolcroft's
party. In order to give the lake
name which would indicate it's
position as the source of the Mis-
sissippi, Mr.. Boutwell, took two
Latin words, "Veritas," meaning
truth, and "Caput," meaning head.
He decapitated the word Veritas
leaving Itas; and curtailed the
word Caput leaving Ca, joining
the two he made the word Itasca,
thus the source of the Mississippi
derived it's name
Among the later explorers of this
state perhaps the most noted is
Mr.. Jean N. Nicollet. He was an
astronomer and it is said that the
Indians we're disappointed with
him. He had no presents for them
and spent great portion of his
time looking through tub at the
heavens. After exploring various
parts of this state he went to
Washington, D. c., and was COM
missioned to make further explor-
atoms of the Northwest, with John
@. Fremont as his assistant.
They journeyed up the Missouri to
Fort Pierre, and from there as far
as Devils Lake. Nicollet made
map of the country which, with
his astronomical observations, has
proved to be of great value. Like
Hennepin and LIE Sueur, Nicollet
has been honored by having
county in this state named after
him. I have briefly touched upon
the chief historical events of Min
nesota's history prior to the Ter
ritorial period, which period I may
review at another time. B. D.

post was established at the head
of Lake Pepin by one LIE Sueur,
who explored part of Minnesota
! He took a party of Indians to
Montreal to impress them with
the Importance of the French, and
after returning with them he built
a fort on the st. Peters River
which he called l. Hullier. LIE
Sueur enjoyed the unenviable dis
tinction of being the first man to
supply the Indians with guns.
LIE Sueur County was named after
him.
Prior to 1766 those who came to
Minnesota were French explorers
and priests. Their influence in
making Minnesota a great state
may be summed up in few words.
They blazed trail, named locali-
ties, and spread the gospel among
the Indians.
Jonathan Carver, born in Con-
necticut in 1872, was the first
Euglishman who came to Mime
sofa. Carver was evidently of an
adventurous spirit. It is said that
his parents tried to make a doctor
out Of him. But the study Of
medicine was uncongenial to him
and he gave it up. He then
joined a Connecticut regiment and
took part in the French war. In
l763 France. In a treaty, coded the
Northern Territory to England.
Carver then decided to explore the
Northwest. Leaving Boston in
l766 he proceeded to Mackinaw,
Mich, thence to Green Bay, then
down the Fox and Wisconsin
Rivers to the Mississippi. From
there he proceeded up the Missis-
sippi to Lake Pepin, thence to
St. Paul where he found cave in
what is known as Dayton's Bluff.
This cave became his headquar-
ters. He had various experiences
with the Indians, and claimed to
have received an instrument from
them conveying to him large
tract of land. At his death his
heirs claimed the land. The CON-
missioner of the general land Office
appointed Gen. Leavenworth to
investigate the claim, and as re-
suit the claim was rejected.
In 1905 the government sent
Lieut.. Zebulon Montgomery Pike
with party to explore Minnesota,
expel traders who were violating
the laws, make treaties with the
Indians, and procure site for a
military post. A treaty was made
with the Dakota tribes in Septem-
Der, 1905, which secured for the
government large tract of land
for a military reservation. Two
thousand dollars was paid for the
land thus secured. However, it
was fourteen years later before the
government finally decided to
build fort in Minnesota. The
reasons given were as follows:
''To cause the power of the
United States government to be
fully acknowledged by the Indians
and settlers of the Northwest; to
prevent Lord Selkirk, the Hudson
Bay Company and others from
establishing trading posts on
United States territory; to better
the conditions Of the Indians, and
to develop the resources Of the
country"
In 1920 a site was selected about
two miles north of the present site
of Fort Smelling and called "Fort
st. Anthony" But in August of
the same year Colonel Joshua
Smelling changed the site to where
Fort Snellino now stands. The

n T THE outset [ desire to say
that 1 have CLEANED my facts
from History of Minneso-
ta,' written by Judge Charles
C. Flandrau, who, l am told, re-
sided in Minnesota through nearly
all of this states political exist
ence and took part in nearly all OF
the chief events of her history.
"Hlstory," some one has said,
sis like India rubber, assuming
different shapes in different hands"
Readers of history will, I believe,
admit the truth of this quotation.
Conceding the right Of historians
TO draw upon their Imagination to
supplement their narratives, and
hearing this in mind, the reviewer
has only to concentrate his mind
upon the historical facts-not the
manner of depicting them, nor the
specific language chosen. There
fore, I have endeavored to touch
briefly upon the historical facts of
Minnesota's early history.
In reviewing this states history
we become, so to speak, acquaint-
ed with those who endured the
hardships of pioneer life; hewed a
commonwealth out of wilderness.
and left to their progeny the fruit
age of grand conquest: the con-
quest of a land where prior to
their coming nothing fourisned-
only as nature ordained. While
othe East, West and South were
being populated, the great North
west was slumbering. Her vast
resources were undreamed of. She
only awaited the coming of civil
aized men to yield up the products
of the farm, the mine, the quarry,
the forest, and to establish COM
'snerce. What a wonderful change
has taken place in the Northwest
during the last fifty years! Of
fhe many states carved out of the
Wilderness, Minnesota stands fore
most. Therefore, it is commend
able for us to familiarize ourselves
with her history; the state that
mas SO benevolently thrown around
us the mantle of protection, cur
tailed our propensities to idly
meander along life's pathway.
and provided us with shelter from
the storm.
A general superstition is that
Louis Hennepin was the first
white man to set foot in Minneso-
ia; but this assumption is contra.
dicted, and documentary evidence
sets forth the fact that two French.
unen, Radison and Groselliers, ex-
plored Minnesota as early as 1862.
They remained in the Northwest,
visiting various tribes of Indians,
suntil 1854. About 1879 one Du
Luth arrived at Kathio, an Indian
town then located on the south
west side of Mile Laos Lake.
From here he wrote to Frontenac,
who was at Montreal, and on July
End, 1879, Du Luth caused the
French arms to be planted at
Kathio. But as to the exploits of
these early corners there seems to
Zoe no trace other than to claim
priority, which has been accred-
ited to Hennepin. Hennepin and
two others left Peoria, Illinois, in
Feb. 1860. Reaching the junction
of the Illinois and Mississippi
they then assembled the Missis-
sippi to Minnesota. Hennepin
visited the Indians, baptizing their
babies, and collecting information.
While in Minnesota he named the
Falls of st. Anthony. Upon his
return to France he published an
account of his travels. He died

j. Casey Mcdaniel, better known as
Casey" famous as the most popular
hotel man of the Tonopah, Goldheld
and Bullfrog districts, has arrived in

cts. Everything WILDE first class. The
finest furniture has been bought for the
house that has ever been sold in the
State Of Nevada. The piano is expected

hotel to their hearts content.
Casey & Arden, the proprietors, also
conduct the Merchants hotels Of Tono-
pah, Goldfeld and Bullfrog.
The day has not yet been set for the
opening of the hotel, as Casey wants
