was varied one. Il >,ar,pd in
lG1S when Il snal! ruriv Of
SWc!cS so,tlcd al Tie mouth of
t!e Delaware river and called it
New sweden. In 1900, Peter
Stuyvesnnt, the governor Of the
Dutch colony Of New Neither
lands, annexed this territory. But
It did not long remain Dutch,
for in 1864 the English took
possession. When PENNSYLVANIA
was decided to William Penn he
desired access to the sencoast
and at his urgent request Della
ware was transferred to PENIS
proprietorship. From the be-
ginning of the eighteenth cen
tury, however, Delaware had its
separate legislature, and at. the
time Of the Revolution it be-
came an independent state.
Delaware is next to the SMALL
est of our states, having an area.
of only 2,370 square miles. It's
participation in presidential cleo
tions is limited to three electors.
This is arranged according to
population. Each state is entitled
to the same number of presiden-
tial electors as 1t has members
OF congress, so the influence of
the different states in voting for
the President varies from Della
wares three electors to New
York's 49,
AS to the derivation Of the
name Delaware, this was appro-
prlately given to the state from
the river, which in turn was
named after the bay and the bay
was called Delaware in honor Of
Lord Delaware, who was COVER
nor of the Virginia colony in
1910.

The first white man to renr

French explorer, DulutE, who III
1878 built q fort on Lake Super
lor and there established Il 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 it 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
1871, Father Galtier built a
chapel dedicated to st. Paul, and
this was the foundation of the
