@. B. Turren Writes of His
First Visit to Redwood Falls
Comes Into Country With ]. w. Pax
ton Early in 1868 Over Sloughs
and Trails
Indians Camped on Present Cuff Prop
erty; Reservation from New Ulm
to Big Stone Lake
(By 0. B. Turrell)

| am glad to see the interest mani
tested in the Fiftieth Anniversary of
the Settlement Of our City and will
contribute very small part of the
information. All are anxious to learn
of the early days.
Soon after the outbreak of 1862,
the government put the lands known
as "Sioux Indian Lands" on the mar
ket, nearly all at $1.25 an acre. A
few settlers came in before the spring
of 1868, but the great rush was in
that year. The reservation was about
ten miles wide and extended from a
little this sideof New Ulm to Big
Stone Lake.
Paxton Selects
The lands lying near timber as a
whole, comprised one of the finest
bodies of land from the view point
of the farmer or prospective specu-
lator ever offered for settlement.
j. w. Paxton and H. F. Rudd were
among the large purchasers and
came along with Mr.. Paxton, when
he made his selection. The trip was
with our own team and most of, the
way through mud and sloughs. The
summer of 1868 was very wet and
the roads and trails very poor. We
spent our last night at the Dakota
House at New Him
Meet w. d. Lines
| We saw good many prospective
settlers on the way one of whom was
w. D. Lines, all anxious to reach
Redwood Falls, the most convenient
point from which to examine. the land.
Put Up at Exchange"
We arrived at Redwood, April %,
and put up" as we used to call it
at the Exchange Hotel kept by James
Mcmillan. 1t was evident the guests
had all brought their appetites along
and our landlord soon ran short of
fresh meat. To remedy the short
age he agreed to give the Indians
fixed price for all the ducks they
would bring in. There were a large
number in camp in tents on what is
now known as the Cuff property, and
to his dismay Mr.. Mcmillan had to
put up for fifty-eight mallards the
next morning. How Mac got out of
the deal | did not learn. There was
a fixed price for ducks, but no limit
as to the number.
First Impressions Good
Your readers may want to know
what we found and how the little
trading and social center impressed
US, to which | can say Every favor
ably" The lands were better than
we had expected to find and impressed
US favorably in every way, while the
village was so many sided in its
scenic beauty and in every way so
attractive that we at once decided
that it was to be a place of impor-
lance.
. The result was that Mr.. Paxton en-
tered a large body of land and at
once set out to improve it, and broke
, between four hundred and five hum
dred acres and built five houses dur
ing the season of 1878, and that your
correspondent has been citizen of
. Redwood Falls and vicinity for thir-
| ty-seven years.

THE OUTLOOK.

Redwood Falls is on the way
to fame and wealth. She is
the halfway house from New
York to San Francisco, and the
geographical center Of the
American continent. Rich in
lands, timber and water; rail
road pointing to her gate for
travel and traffic, Redwood
looms up in gigantic proper
tons.
We have here LANDS for the
landless and homes for the
homeless" Visit US once, is all
we ask to convince the most
skeptical man that Redwood
Falls, and our noble county, is
truly the Eden of the Vest

terry, came Mr.. Gates carrying what
seemed to be huge Colts revolver,
occasionally looking back, and bran
dishing it as if threatening to shoot.
One hundred yards to the rear was
Col. McPhail with sword unsheathed,
the blade of which glistened in the
sun as if a flame of fire. Waving
it over his head he hurled threats
at the pursued, but never attempted
to close the distance between the two.
On they went to the brow of the hill
leading down to what is now North
Redwood, when the flight and chase
came to an end. 1t was while the
two were passing my brother and |,
even as young as we were, that we
realized some deadly feud was being
worked er-time, and we took to the
tall grass where we hid until we
knew that both of the "non-comba-
tants" had passed beyond our reach.
Came of Good Stock
Col. McPhail was of Scotch an
cestry, both his father, John McPhail,
and his mother, Hannah Adams Me
Phail, having been born in Scotland.
He was born in Russellville, Logan
county, Kentucky, on May 2, 1926,
and only a few years after he first
saw the light of day his parents
moved to East Carroll parish, Louis
lana, locating on a cotton plantation,
where young McPhail went to school
until he was II years old, and from
that time until he reached sixteen
he was assisting his father in his
graphical engineer. The father was
regarded as one of the ablest en-
gineers in the country at that time.
He was a man of extensive learning
and took much pleasure in endeavor-
ing to install much of that learning
into the mind of his hopeful.
The fathers life was full of varied
experience and covered an extensive
territory. For years he was engaged
in surveying rivers and harbors, and
State lines, in all of which young
Samuel rendered him valuable as
sistance. As the young man passed
into his sixteenth year he was sent
to Baton Rouge, where he entered
the State military school, remaining
in that institution for two years
when he was assigned to Gen. Zach
Taylor's command at Point Isabel
Texas. Young Samuel marched with
the troops of this intrepid old fighter
to Palo Alto, and with them engaged
in that severe battle of May 8, 1916
just six days after the young man
was first assigned to military duty.
> In Mexican Campaign
Following this sudden conflict with
powder and ball the command started
out on the march. and the following
morning engaged in battle at Re
SAGA de la Palma. Forty days later
young McPhail was in the heat OF
; the Mexican campaign on the way
toward Camargo, where the troops
stopped thirty days for refreshment:
, and to prepare for that memorable
: march to Monterey. Arriving before
the latter city they commenced theil
/ siege of that place early in Septem
. Der of 1916, and on the 23d the enemy
| capitulated. Eight days later the

According to reports received from
MI. johnson, he was in a desperate
condition, but he found relief from
his trouble. We will let him say how
he found 1t. His own words say:
"My friends told me to take Pc
runa, and l did so. I now feel that
Peruna has saved my life. It Is the
best medicine on earth, and I would
not be without It."
This seems almost too good to be
true. No doubt there are some read

statements, however, can be verified
by writing Mr.. Johnson.

DECLARED UNCONSTITU-
TIONAL.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 28.--The
Tennessee supreme court today
handed down an opinion holding
that the Legislative act placing a
limit Of one gallon on liquor ship
ments is unconstitutional.
The court decision is of a ma
tional interest because of the fact
that similar legislation has been
enacted or attempted in other
states, a similar law having been
passed a few days since by the
legislature of Mississippi.
The new Tennessee law provld-
ed, in brief, that no liquor ship
ment in excess of one gallon could
be made, and then only for per-
sonal use; that the common carrier
delivering the shipment must file
a record of every shipment with
the county clerk in the county
where delivered.

HERE'S THE REASON
SUGAR IS So HIGH
England Turns to New York When
the European Supply
Is Cut Off

Most Harrisburgers who have been
paying high prices for sugar know in
a general way that the war is respon-
sible for the excessive fee charged by
dispensers of the saccharine product,
but the inner reasons are set forth in
the following bulletin issued by the
Domestic Sugar Producers in New
York:
Europe and America are now en-
gagged in a battle royal for sugar.
That is the primary cause of the high
prices that now prevail. Cut off by
the outbreak of the war from her
supply of 5000 tons of sugar or
dinarily secured from Germany and
Austria Hungary, England turned to
the nearest available market, which
happened to be New York. Backed
by cash, assuming all the war risk in
Volved in shipment and ready to pay
whatever prices might be necessary
to secure sugar, British buyers in
varded the American market. Within
little more than week, they pur-
chased almost 100, 900 tons of raw and
refined sugar, bidding up the market
nearly 3 cents a pound in the process
of getting it. Their buying subsidized
temporarily only when they found it
impossible to secure further prompt

LEARN TO CONCENTRATE
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

+, To each of us is given a certain
amount of mental energy-of nervous
| forcn by filing ALL our lungs with
| fresh air many times a day, and by
understanding and employing the
LAW OF CONCENTRATION in the
use of our minds.
or we can deplete those precious
forces by breaking the laws of health
! in diet, postures of the body. and
wicked misuse of thought to allow
your mind to dwell on the unpleasant
things in your own life or in the uni
verse.
1t is wicked to think of troubles
which are past, to fear troubles which
may come, to worry over the future
and to wonder why Providence does
not arrange affairs differently.
Mental efficiency does not follow
such methods of thinking.
Intelligent men and women fire.
quently scatter their forces by criti-
cisms of the Power which permits the
helpless invalids and the criminal and
the insane to live, while the young
and happy and strong and useful are
taken away.
over and over we hear these COM
ments and complaints. OF what avail
are they?
And who can say that the time had
not come for the passing onward of
any soul that goes, however young and
happy and needed.
Such use of our mental energies is
wrong and foolish.
1t is brain destroying, not brain
building.
Keep all your thoughts for some
constructive purpose,
The moment you feel your mind
going off on a senseless, useless tam
gent draw in the reins as You would
draw them were you riding a refrac-
tory horse heading for a ditch.
Say to your foolish thought of fear.
or gloom, or doubt, or worry, Get
thee behind me, Satan, thou art not
of God, and l will have none of thee
Repeat wholesome words - Love,
Peace, Attainment, Success. Opulence
and Usefulness" And when you fall
asleep at night, think of the Invisible
Helpers as ministering Angels who
will come and build your brain as you
desire 1t to be and sleep in peace.

School Census Will Show

School census books all but one of

dicate an approximate increase of not
more than a score of names of stu
dents of school age, but it is impossi-
bic to tell how much the enrolment
this year will exceed that of 1918, be-
cause it is the newcomers, those who
enter the first grade, and who are not
enrolled by the censustaker unless
they are years of age. who go to-
ward swelling the total. Last year
there was an enrolment of IL ,07S and
