JAMES MARSHALL is DEAD
Well Known as Father Of the Grain
Trade.

Well Known as Father Of the Grain
Trade.
James Marshall, former president OF
the Minneapolis chamber of commerce
and survivor of the battle of Acton
in the Indian uprising of 1862,
who came into the territory of Min
nesota in 1856 in an oxcart and was
identified through an active lifetime
with the development of the grain
trade in the Northwest, died after an
illness of four months at his home
at Deephaven, Lake Minnetonka. He
passed his seventy-eighth birthday
March 4.
1t was as the father of the grain
trade that he was more widely known
commercially, for he was identified
with the grain business in days when
there were no railroads and no places
Of exchange and when the farmers
brought their grain many miles in OK
carts to the Mississippi river banks
for transportation to market on the
steamers of early days.

NEWSPAPER PIONEER DIES
Earl S. Goodrich Passes Away at AGE
Of Eighty-seven. t

Earl S. Goodrich Passes Away at Age.
Of Eighty-seven.
Earl S. Goodrich, the publisher Of
the first daily newspaper in Min.
nesota, died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs Sterling McMasters, at
st. Paul, at the age of eighty seven
years. He had been ailing for many
years and his death was not, unex.
epected.
Mr.. Goodrich came to st. Paul from
New York in 1854 and Immediately
bought the Weekly Pioneer Press,
which soon after turned into a daily.
He was known as forcible writer
and had great influence in the early
days, when he was prominent in state
politics. 1t is said Of him that he
prevented the capital of the state
from going to st. Peter, when a bill
to that effect passed in the legislature
of 1856 was stolen. Mr.. Goodrich, it
has been intimated, knew who took
the bill and thereby foiled the friends
Of st. Peter in their project.
