Northeast section of the Louisi-

sissippf river which was the di- :,
viding line between these two !

The Eastern section was ceaed
by France to Great Britain m !
1763.. and became part Of the,
United States at the end of the
Revolution by the Treaty Of Par
!, is In 1888. The Northwest ter
ritorE was organized by con
gress four years later. Then, as
this great federal domain be-
came. settled and was gradually
divided into states, the Eastern
part of the present State of Min
riesotA belonged In turn. to the
Territories of Indiana, Michigan
and wisconsin. ~ as%4
AS, to the western portion of
the state, this was a part of
the Louisiana Purchase, which
was bought from France by the
United States IN. 1903. AS this
region became subdivided, West

: Of the Territories Of Louisiana,

!: The first white man to. peRe-
, trate to Minnesota was the
French explorer, Duluth, who in ,
1878 built.a fort ON Lake, Super
/: ior and there established q very
extensive fur trade. Two years
later, Father Hennepin- and two
companions were sent by La
Sale to explore the Upper Mis-
sissippi and reached the Fails Of
st. Anthony, where Minneapolis
now stands. But it was not un-
til the Nineteenth century that :.
permanent settlements were
made. In 1S22she first mill was
built at the Falls of st. Anthony,
where were destined to arise
such important successors In
1S41, Father Galtier built a
chapel dedicated to st. Paul. and
= this WAS the foundation Of the
present great city of that name.
AS, to the name Minnesota.
the state was so called from the
river that runs through it, which
in the Dakota Indian language
makes the words Mime"
meaning Water" and "Soah,"
meaning "Sky-colored." Some
times the state is called the
North Star State" from, the
motto on its coat-of-arms.
Minnesota was admitted to the
Union in 1858. Its area is S4,-

most important of our wheat

presidential electors.

E y TT WAS the
KAsss 8asgM:M claim to the
M:EsGE:H discovery Of
NE.H.Ii our Pacific
%$:S]/ coast. In
>a 81 1913 Ferrelo
possibly sailed as far North as
I: the Oregon boundary. In 1919
Sir Francis Drake explored for
England the coast considerably
: north of this. Other Spaniards
made further explorations and
Captain Cook, the English navi-
gator, in 1888 landed at Nootka
Sound and gave it its name.
Thus both Spain and England
laid claim to this region.
The American rights TO this
territory were based on the dis
covery of the Columbia river in
1892 by Captain Robert Gray,
who sailed from Boston in the
ship Columbia to open up fur
trade. Many American fur
traders followed and, in 1911
John Jacob Astor, the head OF
the Pacific Fur company, estab-
ished a settlement called Astor-
: ia at the mouth of the Columbia.
The real opening of the North
west was the result Of the fam.
Gus Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton.
By 1843 a decided flow Of
emigrants from the East trav-
elled over the Oregon Trail from
Kansas City to the Columbia
river, and thus into Oregon. The
trip over this route occupied
about three months and the set
tiers generally travelled In large
parties to withstand any pos
sible attacks from Indians.
American settlers became so
numerous that the United States
actively laid claim to this re-
gion. Spain had been forced to
withdraw any rights she may
have had when Florida was
ceded ,in:1S19. Th:5 left Eng
z land and America quarrelling
over thisssection of the country.
Final settlement, with definite
boundaries between the United
States and Canada, was made
in IS466:s-~
The Oregon. territory was
formed in 1848 and the State Of
Oregon was taken into the Uns
!: ion in 1859 with an area Of &c.

,SEES DEMOCRATS
AS HOPE OF CITY
Strong Minority Party Only
Way to improve Politics, Ster-
rett Says at Rally
B0NNIWELL HITS SCHAFFER

A strong minority party is needed in
Philadelphia to assure municipal prog
ress, several speakers asserted last night
Mt Democratic rallies in various parts
of the city.
Because Of the prcponderance OF the
Republican vote here, campaigns never
rise any higher than struggles between
actions, said Robert ]. Sterrctt, Demo
cratic candidate for District Attorney.
who spoke at the Fifteenth Ward JEFF
ferson Club, Corinthian avenue and
Brown street.
"A big issue like the street railway
situation Is CLOSED over with virtually
no attention In an important political
campaign" Mr.. Sterrett declared.
This is true, although the Mayor has
been trying to negotiate lease for the
Frankford elevated. There are other
big issues which also are scrupulously
avoided"
Mr.. Sterrctt. who formerly was As.
bstant United States Attorney in this
city. continued that it Is hopeless to
expect an Improvement through the
medium Of reform within the Kepubli-
rhn party. The only hope of the city
Hes in building up the Democratic
marty, he said.
Democratic rallies also were held ut
Twenty sixth and Cumberland streets :;
ut TiOga Hall, Twentieth and Tiogn
trCets; at 5007 North Broad street.
nd in the Thirty ninth Ward, where
Democratic women met at Ninth and
Jackson streets.
The Democratic neetings gave the
only semb!ancc of life visible In the
campaign leading to the general cleo
lion next Tuesday. The Republican
battle was fought out at the primary in
Sc0tcmber. Because of the over.
whelming number of Republican voters
Gre the election next week simply will

mary results.
Court, Democratic candidate for Justice
Of the State Supreme Court, continued
his attacks on the State Administration
last night. He spoke at Coaldile, where
he concluded his tour of Schuylkill
County.
The Judges fire last night was d.
rectcd at State Treasurer Snyder, who
is Republican leader of Schuylkill
County. Most of the States fnancin
complications, he said, developed dur.
ing Snyder's term az Auditor General.
The expenses Of the Auditor Gen
erals department increased enormously
during the Snyder regime. Judge Bon
niwell said. In 19l01917 the ev
cnses were $40. 200; for 1017-1010.

vision, and one Of the foremost advo :
Gates of the new Charter when that
question was before the Legislature,
and Franklin Spencer Edmonds, who
was chairman Of the Voters League
Campaign Committee, said thnt the
subject was too important for discus
sion at this time. Both, however, mr.,
keeny interested In the whole big
question.
Satisfied With City Government
The present form of government is
defended by men who were conspicuous
in the movement which yielded new
Charter.
II believe we have the best form OF
government now,' said Powell Evans.
a manu-. turcr, who was secretary of
the Charter Committee.
If the City Council tomorrow au-
tomaticaly became city commission
think we would have the same diff I.
culties. We are doing better under the
resent Charter than we did under the
Bullitt Charter. Self-control and In =
tell gcnce on the part of the Mayor and
C0un'1l would go great way toward
making conditions still better.
'uppVSS We huu IL form
of government here" Mr.. Evans con :
tinued. THE commission would choose
city manager. The things the city
manager could do would be limited by
the commission and the same difficulties
would arise"
William Draper Lewis, dean of the
University of Pennsylvania Law School,
who was member of the sub commit Z.
tee which drafted the Charter, believes
conditions will not be helped by chang :
ing the form of government.
The trouble with the present sit
uation in Philadelphia, said DR..
Lewis, "cannot be remedied By a
change from one form of government to
another. 1t will be remedied when
those in responsible positions in the
city government look at the interests of
the city and not at their own political
future. or the future Of party organi.
zaton."
Philadelphia now has the nearest
practicable approach to commission
form Of government, said James Col
Inns Jones, lawyer and charter com
mittcc member.
The commission form. he added, is
in an experimental stage, and is not
adapted to the needs of large city. Mr..
Jones said he did not believe a com
mission government could be obtained
for this city, or that it would be prac-

Buy What
You Need
Look TO
the Quality

Prices are fairly well estab-
lished on the new lower basis. Our
stocks are owned by us at the low
est point reached in the past years
price-lowering process. Scarcely
any kind of merchandise shows
signs of further decline, but we
learn that some things show a
tendency toward slight advance
in the market.
During the past few years there has
been produced great deal of merchan-
disc of low grade. There are large
quantities of such goods in the market.
But we have steadily declined to lower
our standards. We have maintained
our position that it does not pay to buy
inferior merchandise.
Prices for GOOD GOODS are now
far below the prices of last year. NOW
is the time to buy what you need. But
never was it more important to BUY
CAREFULLY. We believe it pays in
the long run to buy goods of the
Strawbridge & Clothier standard. You
cannot buy such goods anywhere at less
than the Strawbridge & Clothier price.

Inc AtexoU0f1a creamery
An effort is being made to es-
tablish a creamery in Alexandria.
The organization is already as
sured. but actual operation will
not commenced until after the
management finds farmers who
wish to sell cream from a thous-
and cows. They agree to take
the cream from as many more
cows a. can be found and pay as
much for all cream as the Chica-
go market. This creamery will
be easily accessible to farmers of
Grant parish. as cream only has
to be delivered once in two DAYS
and takes q very low express
rate. while the cans will be re-
turned free. With three rail-
roads traversing Grant parish
our people can reach this market
- quickly and almost as cheaply
as people in Rapides. In fact.
all people within a radius of fifty
miles Of Alexandria will be Just
- near the creamery as their
nearest express Office.

STOLEN GEMS HURT MARKET
Pllfered Russian Diamonds Ruin the
Trade In Holland and
England.

Amsterdam, Enthusiastically In
creasing unemployment In the Dutch
diamond industry is causing some APP
prehension In business circles here.
Last week the number Of unemployed
exceeded 1900. and considerable
increase is expected in the near future.
Unfavorable news from the United
States is having a bad influence on
the diamond market. IL Is hoped, how
ever. that abundant American crops,
followed as they probably will be by
more active general business, viii lead
70 some revival In the demand for
diamonds. The fact that guilders are
low I'm the American market may also
lead TO some American buying.
Messages from England attribute the
moor trade In diamonds in the British
and Dutch markets 10 the fact that
many stolen Russian stones have been
sold IN various European cities. The
larger number OF these stolen Rus
sian gems came by circnitous routes
into the hands OF Dutch dealers. Vlr.
mally all OF them had TO be reground.
II Is the belief among the Initiated
here that the market will not be
normal again until these stolen stones
have all been cleared off the market.
