From the beginning of his career in Mime
sofa Rice took a leading part in public affairs,
throwing himself energetically into every
movement and enterprise projected for the de-
velopment of st. Paul and the State. His
gains he generously shared with the public,
donating and raising funds for good roads ana
streets, educational enterprises and other
means of frontier development. An early eX-
ample of his influence and success may be IL
lustrated by contract given him in 1850 for
collecting vagrant Winnebagoes and return
ing them to their reservations. The Winnie
bagoes were powerful tribe before the white
men came and long after. The Government,
through presents and annuties, persuaded
them to vacate their mineral lands and move
to the so.called neutral ground" in Iowa. The
gifts and annuities, however, were the ruin of
the Winnebagoes. They became idle, dissolute,
mischievous treaty was made with them
effectng an exchange of the neutral ground
for a reservation in northern Minnesota. But
some of them refused to start on their jour.
ney, some fell out by the way and the tribe
was scattered Ill feeling between the whites

planned of bad faith and i'll treatment. But
they had so much confidence in the fairness
and frendliness of Rice that they voluntarily
chose him their sole commissioner and put
their future in his hands. lie established
them on their reservation without difficulty
and the threatened trouble was over.
Flaws perhaps may be found in the public
career of this pioneer and commonwealth
builder, but none that properly detracts from
his chief distinction. He typifies a great
movement. a great period of creation. In
Michigan, Senator Clapp says, he "joined
with those who, then in the flush of their
young manhood were engaged in this Ameri-
can task of building government, fitting our
country for civilization and development along
great and lasting lines--men then unknown,
but men who by their energy. their sturdy
characters and wisdom, not only laid deep and
broad the foundations of that great Common
wealth, but brought fame to themselves in
their achievements. But this lure of the West
that had called this race caused Mr.. Rice to
move further westward, until he found him

the character of that class of men of which
he was fitting type. They We're peculiar in
themselves; their like is found nowhere else in
history There was culture and refine
ment about them they could adorn the bench,
the Senate hall or my ady's par!or. There
a certain dash about them, and yet there
was that fortitude, that courage that power
of endurance that enabled them to withstand
all the severe and untried conditions of the
western country"
