Northeast section Of the LOUISE
ana Purchase. 1t. was the Mis-
sissippi river which was the d.
viding line between these two
large territories.
The Eastern section was coded
by France to Great Britain in
17G9 and became a 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, Us
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
WIS bought from France by the
United States in 1903. AS this
region became subdivided, West
ern Minnesota formed q part
of the Territories Of Louisiana,
Missouri and Iowa.
The first white man to penc-
trate to. Minnesota was the
French explorer, Duluth, who IN
1e1S built q fort on Lake Super

extensive fur trade. Two years
later, Father Hennepin and two
companions were sent by Lii
Sale to explore the Upper Mis-
slssippi and reached the Falls Of
st. Anthony, where Minneapolis
now stands. But it was not I'M
ii! 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

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

Goliath of the Hills.

Dale awoke a little after daybreak,
arose anu dressed himself, and went
out by way of the door beside the
huge stone-and-clay chimney.
The mountain air was bracing. Dale
threw out his chest and started eager
ly for walk.
The road led past the cabin Of
Grandpap Moreland. When Dale was
directly in front OF the log house, he
saw the aged mountaineer standing un
"a riclety sawhorse beside the stone
step at the narrow porch; Grandpap
Moreland was helping.a gray cat down
from the roof.
"MOrnin'! was jest a-takin' that
thar cussfircd old pest down often the
roof. I've took him down every morn
in as rcglar as make fires, fo' three
year or more. Eff it wasn't bad luck
to Kill a cat, L shoot him, nebbe."
i After breakfasting with John More
Ind. Bill Dale borrowed fsling-tackle
from his host, and set out alone for
the little river.
!, There were many shoals and rapids,
and he went almost half Il mile before
he found place to his liking. 1t was
q beautiful spot. Above, the water
poured between two great boulderS
!. with q gentle roar; below. it Swallowed
out over round stones. Overhead
lowered tall white sycamores.
Not until he had put Il ninnnw or
the hook and cast It out did he see
that lie was not alone Mt the pool. On
the other side, less than sixty feet
away Babe Littlefortl sat on Il stone
the size Of small barrel; she held
cane fishing.rod in her hands, and
her bare feet were in the water to her
ankles. SHE WAS looking squarely to-
ward Dale. and there was something
akin 10 reprouchful anger in her long
brown eyes.
Good mornng!" called Dale, lifting
his hat.
!: There was no reply. There was not
even change of c0untenance. Again
nale called his friendly greeting, and
again there was no reply. It biqued
Dale.
A few yards down the stream the
white body Of n sycamore lay from
one bank to the other; 1t had heen
blown there by Il recent storm. Dale
wound his line, went down and crossed
BY meuns Of the PROSTATE tree.
She didn't even look around when
he walked up to her and spoke again.
1t struck him rs being decidedly odd.
"I say he told her, you're as
chatty as set Of stencils. You
mustn't talk so much, y'know."
Her eyes smiled at the river, but
Dale couldn't see her eyes.
"D0 you like vlolets, Miss Little
ford?' he asked next.
Tn the black, mica-stnrred soil nj
his feet grew a carpet of the finest
violets he had ever seen. Babe let the
tip Of lIcr cane rod fall into the water
and looked around.
