AT TIE GRAVE OF CARRIE
JOHNSON.

The death Of Mrs. Kajsa (Pehr-
SOM Johnson, whose remains lie
here buried was without doubt the
first passing of a white person to
occur within the boundaries Of
Kandiyohi county. She was nat
i've of Elmeboda parish, Smaland,
Sweden, where she was born in
April, 1886. She came with her
husband, John Johnson to this
place in the fall of 1857. They
had baby son only six months
old. They are said to have fur
nished board and accommodations
in their shack to such scouts and
prospectors as happened along.
The struggle during the long hard
winter, while so far separated
from neighbors and many of the
necessities of life, proved too
much for her and in April of 1853,
just as spring was beginning to
bring relief from the cold, she
passed away and the remains
were buried here in a most primi-
tive way. And soon the broken
hearted husband, with whom she
had bravely ventured into the will
derneSs In the hope of making an
AANSpSAOOAS LUZ themselves,
said farewell to his buried hopes
in the wilderness, took his baby
and returned to his kinsmen in
Chisago Lake. In 1861, the father
also died, leaving the orphan waif
to make his own way thru life as
best he could, with the help of
kindly disposed people. He was
last heard Of as resident of Min
neapolis. After many years and
almost forgotten, this grave was
accidentally discovered when this
ground was broken for agriculture
al purposes. Messrs. John Wick
lund and N. p. Freeman investi-
gated and found in it the remains
of a woman and her wedding ring
was still on the bones of a finger.
1t Is fitting that the Old Settlers
Association should mark the spot
where this heroic woman lies bur-
led, and may this simple slab
serve to commemorate to coming
generations, the supreme sacrifice
she made in the first pioneersat-
tempts to subjugate the wilder
ness by the advance of civilization.

his pleasure at being present on the &C.

ing of America.
The annual group picture was then
taken by Mr.. Jones, the photographer of
Atwater.
THE PARADE. --
Immediately afterwards a parade was
organized to visit other parts of the his
toric townsite. Headed by "Old Glory"
the Atwater Band took the lead and fully

brought up the rear. The line of march
was over Capital HILL" on the SUNNI :

the day, past the Capitol Hill Farm,
where Clarence Freeman lives, and then.
down the road to Lakes Minnetaga and
Kasota, where stop was made at the
old sawmill site to dedicate a tablet
placed upon the grave of Mrs. Carrie
johnson. This parade gave all the par
Elephants an excellent opportunity to
view the whole of the old townsite and
surroundings.
At the first pioneer grave the band
played America and suitable lines were
read.

Davs(a Statesman Delivered a
Timely Address at the
Meeting Of Pioneers.

The orator of the day at the Randi.
yohi County Old Settlers Association
meeting on Tuesday of last week was
Hon. Theodore Christianson of Daw-
son. Mr.. Christianson was one of the
leading members of the last House of
REPRESENTATIVES and is one of the ris-
ing young men of the state. His talk
last Tuesday made him many friends
in this county. Mr. Christianson said
in part:
"You deserve to be commended for
maintaining an organization which has
for one of its purposes to preserve the
history Qf1the pioneers; for by keeping
alive. the. history of pioneer struggles
and pioneer vicissitudes we may hope
as people to retain the qualities of
mind and heart that made possible the
pioneer victories.

state but guarantees to the minority
protection against the unjust encroach-
ments of the majority thru bill of

vancement of the interests of a class
or of classes, and that strives to give
to every man the opportunity to de-

invited to be a guest of honor at this
occasion. Due to the latter's care and
forethought not only have the original
manuscripts of the writings of his faith

60 years ago.
THE EARLY EXPLORERS.
The writings Of Mr.. E. Whitehead con-
corning the exploration trips to the Kan
diyohi region consist of four articles,
not entirely complete in each case, but
sufficiently so as to enable one to follow
the course of the travels of the explor-
ers here. The first letter deals with al,
initial trip northwest from Glencoe when
Lake Lillian was discovered and was
named so in honor Of Mr.. Whitefield's
wife. In the beginning of the second ar
tlcle, Mr.. Whitefield states that "As
soon as circumstances would permit a
much larger party than the former one
was got up for the purpose Of CARRYING
out the original objects Of the expedi-
ton and regular organization took
place under the name Of the "whitefield
Exploring Association" and the selection
of proper officers with John Swanson.
Esq, of Chisago Lake for president, and
Col. Stevens for Commander numbering
altogether % members, most Of whom
are men of experience, ability and en-
ergy. A boat having been built, and
good stock of provisions laid in, we
started from Minneapolis on Monday
September 18th, about p. m''
Outside of this there are no references
made In the parts Of the papers that
have been preserved as to whom consti-
tuted the exploring party except an in
cidental mention that was made of Mr.
Mcleod. for whom Mcleod county was
named. On this rare OCCASION, when we

cerned, I cannot resist the temptation

cred by Senator Glader in 1893, which
provided that a city be called "Blaine"
be plated here. This bill was defeated
in the Senate by a vote of IL to 21. On
the very same day the bill to build a
new five million dollar Capitol at St.
Paul was passed. The erection of this
new capitol was prevented for four
years by farmers of Kandiyohi county
who under the leadership of Swan ].
Flecten fought the constitutionalftyoo f
the law in the courts of the State. This
subject is very exhaustively covered in
the chapter relating thereto in the Kan
diyohi County History, and is one of the
features which contributed to give the
book more than a local circulation. The
lands were finally sold in 1901 at an av.
erage price of less than $50 per acre
There is little doubt that the biennia
agitation about the Capitol lands in this
county is largely responsible for thu
existence of the beautiful capitol build
ing at St. Paul. as the erection of 81
valuable a building practically settled
the permanent location of the capito
in that city. ~-.
In the mind Of the writer, the remova
of the location of the capital to an in
land location, removed from the corrupt
ing influences of a large center of popu
lation, would have had very health!
influence on legislation, and therefore
the loss to Kandiyohi county was also {
loss to the cause of the democracy OF
the common people of the state.

Of the capitol question to this particular

day, we are compelled by what we see
to admit that the early promoters chos'

is to unite communities, to co-ordin-

today is consciousness of national

PLAN BUYING FIRST CAPITOL
Legislative Finance Committee in
Favor of Restoring Old Build
ings Located at Leslie.

Madison-The Wisconsin legislature
favors the preservation of the first
territorial capitol of Wisconsin, loca-
ted at Belmont (now Leslie). The
joint finance committee of the legisla-
ture has recommended an appropria-
tion of $4,000 for the purchase of the
buildings, their removal to the site on
which they were located in 1886, and
the rebuilding of them as nearly as
possible into the form in which they
existed when the first territorial leg
islature met there in the fall of 1886.
For years past the old capitol has
been used as a barn for cows and
horses and hay. According to Jona-
than Henry Evans, Platteville bank
er, in his "reminiscences filed with the
Wisconsin Historical society, the low
er floor was used as a senate cham
Der, and the second story was used as
the assembly chamber. Recently up
wards of thirty members of the pres
ent legislature visited the scene, and
the opinion seems to be nearly unani-
nous in favor of the preservation.
