 The Story of 1 Our States By JONATHAN BRACE XXXII.-MINNESOTA
 $ < :; :|:: ]: : :"' ': < | ]: M3S. SM formed part Ea >>AEN ly from a DOT VsE El44StI tion of the WNAEz5Ek% Nor h W est WS&WW territory and sa2e. partly by the Northeast section of the Louisi- ana Purchase. It was the Mis- sissippi river which was the di- viding line between these two large territories.
 The Eastern section was ceded by France to Great Britain in 1763 and became part of the United States at the end of the Revolution by the Treaty of Par is in 17S3. The Northwest ter ritOry 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 nesota belonged in turn to the Territories of Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
 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, Vest
 ern Minnesota formed part
 of the Territories of Louisiana.
 Missouri and Iowa.
 The first white man to pene-
 trate to Minnesota was the
 French explorer, Duluth, who in
 1878 built fort on Lake Super for and there established a 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 Falls of St. Anthony, where Minneapolis
 now stands. But 1t was not un-
 til the Nineteenth century that
 permanent settlements were
 made. In 1922 the first mill was
 built at the Falls of St. Anthony,
 Where were destined to arise
 such important successors. In
 1S41, Father Galtier built
 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 1t, which In the Dakota Indian language makes the words "Minne." meaning Water" and "Sotah." meaning "Sky-colored." Some times the state is called the North Star State." from the motto on it's coat-of-arms. Minnesota was admitted to the Union in 1858. Its area is 84,- 6S2 square miles and 1t is the most important of our wheat producing states. It has twelve presidential electors

LIQUIDATION ON GRAIN

Chicago, April 16.-Liquidation on
grain on large scale has gone hand
i'm hand this week with distributing
economic advices. especially from Great
Britain. Compared with a week ago,
wheat this morning showed a setback
ranging from 5h to Tx cents; corn
was down 31s to 3% cents; oats, IA
to 17s cents and provisions 90 to ~
cents.
Heavy receipts of wheat at primary
points indicating an enlarged move
ment from first hands gave special
impetus to the downward swing start
ed by the British labor turmoil.
Meanwhile such bullish factors as a
serious reported drought in Roumania.
Hungary and the Balkans were almost
completely ignored.
Later the market was rallied some
what by word that railway men and
transport workers in Great Britain
would remain at their posts.
Corn and oats showed rather stub
born resistance TO selling pressure but
finally receded with wheat.
Lower quotations on hogs and grain
were the depressing influence on pro
visions.
