DlEIz TACTICS FAILED
SETTLERS GIVE UP ATTEMPT TO
EXACT TOLL FOR LOGS DRIVEN
THRU DAM ON FLOODWOoD.

NJ H. Schussler Of F1oodwood, Mimi,
has notified Marshall H. Coolidge Of
this city that ths tW9 men Wse tred
pany by holding up log drive on the
Floodwood river are satisfied and that
the matter is settled. Last week Mike
Anderson and Erick Perkie, two set
tiers, held up. a drive, claiming that
they had rights to certain. logging
dam in the Floodwood river. They re-
fused to allow the drive thru until they
had received fee. =
Deputy Sheriff Levy and five men
from Duluth appeared, however, and
soon had the pair locked up at Flood
wood. c. B: Brooks Of the company
stated today that settlement had been
made with the settlers last winter,
whereby the company was to be allowed
to use the dam for driving its logs.
Evidently the two thought the Dietz
plan was worth trying. Mr.. Schussler,
who is on the ground, has notified the
company here that everything is set
tied and that the drive is going thru.

GODFREY HOUSE
TO BE PRESERVED
PLAN FORMED BY MINNEAPOLIS
TERRITORIAL PIONEERS.
Proposed New Organization May Pur-
chase One Of First Houses Built in
Old st. Anthony, Still Standing on
Original site-Would Make It De-
pository Of Relics.

The Ard Godfrey house, still standing
at 100 Prince street Sc, is to be pre-
served and made the headquarters for
Hennepin county organization of ter
rltorlal pioneers, If plans now on foot
are carried out. The old house was
built in the fall Of 1S4s, out of the first
lumber sawed On the East Side, being
house and one other, neither of which is
now standing. It therefore antedates
the Stevens house, which was the first
dwelling built on the west side. i.
Edwin Clark, a member Of the state
executive committee and the publisher
Of the first daily paper in st. Anthony
Falls, has taken a leading part in the
movement. He says:
The Godfrey house was built in the fall
OF 1848 out Of the first lumber sawed at
the mills on the East Side. The Russell
and Huse houses were also built at the
same time, but both of these have been
torn down, leaving the Godfrey house the
only frame house built that year still
standing.
If the building is secured by the pro-
posed new pioneer association, it should
be moved to the vicinity of the Pillsbury
| library and kept open the entire year for
the inspection of historical relics and
| portraits to be stored therein. The pio-
ISSi IdOlcS OIL the new association cOulO
also hold their meetings In the building.
Caleb D. Dorr, the present owner Of the
| house, came to St. Anthony in 1S47, re-
turned to Maine later, in the fall of 1S48,
and on his return, about May l. with his
bride, found Mr.. Godfrey and family oc-
cupying the house. He secured room
over the kitchen, which he occupied with
Mrs. Dorr for several weeks, the bed be-
ing spread on the floor.
The movement for a county associa-
ton has grown since last Friday, when
the executive committee of the Mime
sofa Territorial Pioneer association de-
cided to hold the annual meeting in
| May at the. state capitol, instead Of ut
| the log cabin on the fair grounds,
erected for that purpose. It is claimed
that this action was not taken in ac-
cordance with the constitutions, and that
it was done for the purpose of taking up
st. Paul matters, foreign to the objects
of the association. The Minneapolis
members have not seeded from the
/ state association, and do not intend to-
but i the county association is formed
it will naturally enlist most Of their in
terest. The meeting for organization
probably will be held June 1, the ami
versary of the creation Of the territory
of Minnesota, and the annual meetings
will be held at that time, so as not t.
conflict with the state association meet

the minds of the ignorant work

official assertion that they have
