bands. of Indians. whose presence
was anything but desirable. The
continued cold gradually became
monotonous and grave apprehen-
sions arose in our minds that we
had been paying too dear for the
satisfaction Of our romantic ideas.
The charms of the wilderness, so
agreeable to contemplate while
dreamily lounging in some richly
furnished parlor, grew less attrac-
tive in the realization, and even
the promised excitement of hunt,
ing and fishing became common
place, everyday matters. The re-
suit was that we awoke from our
dreams, and our visionary specula-
tion in town lots had vanished.
The TOWNSHIP affairs of Columbia
became complicated and through
neglect in filing at the land office
it reverted to the railroad company.
Thus vanished that dream of
wealth.
1t has always been my opinion
that when the original survey of
the St. Paul & Pacific line
was made the company who gave
the surveyors their nst1uctions
made a grave mistake in surveying
the line out on the open prairie so
far south from the water course of
the Crow river and the timber belt.
| had an interview with the survey
or and asked why they were making
their survey so far south on the
open prairie. He remarked that
i this was only preliminary line
and not designed for final location.
But in after years the original line
was adopted when the road was
built. If this railroad had fol.
lowed up Grow river near and
through the timber, Forest City
would have built up instead OF
Litchfeld. Manannah instead OF
Atwater, and Willmar would have

then that solemn and hottest hour

We called the people of Union
Grove neighbors and visited hack
and forth and certainly enjoyed the
social pleasures.
The spring of 1859 found US still
struggling and battling for exist
ence. Some wheat was sown and
corn planted; vegetables were
grown in abundance. The crops
came on fairly we'll, except the
wheat, which grew about half smut,
making it unfit for bread, with the
old system of burr mills at St. Jo-
seph, where our milling was usual
ly done.
BIt was at this critical period of
the history of the Green lake coun-
try that the final straw was placed
upon the camel's back. All the
early settlers had flattered them
selves that the first homestead bill

ever passed by our congress, intro
duced by the venerable Galusha A.
Grow of Pennsylvania, would apply
to our homesteads located under
the presumption laws.
The first of September, 1859, the
venerable James Buchanan, by the
authority vested in him, sent out a
proclamation notifying the settlers
of the st. Cloud and Forest City
districts to appear at their respec-
tive land Offices and within sixty
days prove up their presumption
claims, pay in their $l.25 per acre
or take their chances at the public
land sales at the expiration Of sixty
days. This found the settler un~
prepared. It seemed an utter i'm
possibility to raise 5000 to pay for
their homes that they had settled
