HISTORICAL NOTES
In the DAYS of the Fur Trade

An original document in the Sibley
Papers, on file in the manuscript
cociety of the Minnesota Historical
society, throws an interesting light
on the Minnesota fur trade in it's
most fourishing days. The docu-
ment is a manuscript list of the
amounts and prices of furs shipped
out from the Sioux Outfit" Sibley's
trading division at Mendoza, eighty
seven years ago. The furs, after be-
ing assembled at Mendoza, were
packed and shipped down the river
to Prairie du Chen and on to Macki-
mac"
In the year 1885, the manuscript
reveals, 289,388 muskrats were ship
ped out at the price Of $44,7O2.O8;
offers to the number of 1927 at
$5,135.00; 1880 minks at $698.40
S,243 deer skins at $972.9O; and
1893 buffalo robes at $4,156.OO.
Among other items, indicating the
variety. of Minnesota furs and pelts
were 1858 kittens at $51.36; 2,011
coons at $603.30; 100 bears at
$4,000; EOS foxes at $153.75; in
addition to fishers, martens, wolves,
badgers, swan skins, rabbits, and
wild cats.
The total value of the goods
handled came to $59,298.92. Con-
trary to the general impression, the
fur trade was small business, as
compared with modern enterprises.
according to DR.. William w. Folwell.
'The crop of many single town
ship" he writes in his recently pub
lished History Of Minnesota, "far
surpasses the annual fur output of
Minnesota at any time"

praise. They might even publish his
full-length picture.
Drawing a long breath, he entered
the passage and, midway OF 1t he
found the cigar box. 1t was reposing
on the ground as sweetly and softly
as young lamb. No one, 10 look at
IL, would dream that it contained the
lives Of hundreds or thousands Of peo-
pie. 1t would blow that grocery a
hundred feet high, and the grocer
would never again sell butter at 20
cents pound. 1t would, at the same
time, send the fragments Of that cob
bier shop four blocks long and the old
cObbler who had raised his prices three
times would never raise them again.
In fact, he would be. raised himself
and when the fragments of his anat-
omy came down, the most expert doc
tor of surgery could not patch them
together.
There was the Robin Hood club
across the street. There would be
about so Robins roosting inside and
smoking their cigarettes and drinking
their champagne. In one instant they
would be wiped OF the earth, and their
blood mixed with brick and water.

There, was a church, two blocks down.
How many miles in the air the spire
OF that church would sail when the
explosion took place it was hard to
estimate.
Other things would happen. The
force Of the explosion might even
reach Mr.. Bowser's residence and
throw Mrs. Bowser down and stand
the cook on her head. The box must
be removed at whatever cost
AS Mr.. Bowser stopped over to pick
it up, he might have murmured: "Now
lay me down to Sleep" but, at any
rate, he got the box and appeared
carrying it with the greatest care. He
crossed over to Mr. Jones and received
the praise he deserved. Both Of them
took long smell OF the box. It GER
tainly smelled Of sulphuric acid, or
the stuff which makes hair dye give
out such beautiful odor.
"Now for the police station" said
Mr.. Bowser, and they walked on.
The box was being held at arms
length, when they entered the station
and walked up to the sergeant's desk.
Mr.. Bowser was, Of course, spokes-
man. He was breathing very hard
when he said:
Sergeant, I have found bomb or
an internal machine, and I wish to
leave it with you'll" -
The sergeant looked up in careless
way and pointed to the captains room.
Mr.. Bowser and Mr.. Jones entered and
told their story. The captain hadn't
any questions to ask. He Scarelessly
felt for his pocket knife and cut the
string and removed the paper. Then
he pried up the lid Of the box and
looked in. An overpowering odor
gushed out and he had to turn away
his head as he said:
"Say, you boobs, you ought to be
locked up for week for playing such
trick"
"What is it2" asked Mr.. Bowser, as
he advanced and took look for him
self.
/ There were six eggs In the box. One
Of them had become broken These
eggs were anywhere from six to ten
years old. -'+aa-.
Mr.. Bowser and Mr.. Jones got out
az soon as they could and that ended
the tragedy. Mr.. Bowser didn't boast
to Mrs. Bowser Of his courage when
he got home, and the papers didn't
publish single line about It.

CHIEF NAIcHE CURES HIS
WIFE'S JEALOUSY
Blu Elmo Scott lOofSon

HVOU are jealous of your sister.
L That is bad" said Naiche, chief
Of the Chiricahua Apaches, to the elder
Of his two wives one day. II will cure
you" So he threw a cartridge into
the chamber of his rife and shot her
through the knees. Marital troubles of
that sort seemed to run in Matches
family. An army officer who visited
old Cochise, his father, in 1873 in the
= Dragon mountains, Arizona, noticed
that the chiefs hand was badly burned
in two circular holes. He asked about
them and Cochise explained that they
had been made by his younger wife,
who was jealous Of the older. She had
bit him so badly that he had to cauter-
ize the wound.
Because Cochise's son was constant
ly leading his playmates into trouble
he was given the name Na-ai-che,
which means "mischievous," or ''ned-
dlesome," prophetic name. When old
Cochise died and the chieftainship
passed on to Naiche he more than up
held the traditions of his family.
He first made his name known in
. 1881, when he led his Chiricahua war
riors on devastating raids all over the
Southwest. This band was known as
"Geronfmo's band" although, as q mat
ter of fact, Naiche was the real chief
and Geronimo merely a warrior leader
Of considerable renOwn. For five years
they went their bloody way. Then, In
1885, Geronimo was finally cornered
and forced to surrender to General
Miles.
Naiche did not surrender until day
later. He felt that It was appropriate
for him, son Of the great Cochise and
first chief Of the Chiricahuas, to be the
last to lay down arms and cease fight
Ing the white man whom he and his
fathers had fought for two centuries. :
When the hostile Chiricahuas were
finally settled at Fort Sill as prisoners
Of war they looked to Naiche as their
leader. "He was a most forceful and
reliable man, q proud and self-respect-
ing chieftain," was Gen. Hugh SCOTS
tribute to him. Naiche became a men,
Der OF the Indian police force and
proved to be a faithful officer. Like
Geronimo, he accepted Christianity and
thereafter always signed his name
christian Naiche." He was signing 1t
when he cured his wife of jealousy!
After years of pleading, the Chiri-
cahuas finally were allowed to return
to Arizona, and in 1913 Naiche had the
satisfaction of leading his people back
to their ancestral homes. They settled
on the Mescalero reservation.

GERONIMO, THE WORST IN.
DIAN WHO EVER LIVED"
BY Elmo Scott Uolson


NTEBSTER'S dictionary contains al
w least one unintentionally grim
bit Of hnmor. Geronimo, a Chiricahua
Apache chief, flourished about $780,
reads one entry in the biographical
section. Just how well this Geronimo
"fourished' only the residents of New
Mexico and Arizona and the soldiers
who chased him can tell. They called
him the Indian Devil" the Apache
Terror" and the worst Indian who
ever lived" His mother named him
Go-Yath-Lay, "The Yawner"; the Mex
leans nicknamed him Geronimo, Span
ish for Jerome.
Like Sitting Bull Of the Sioux,
Geronimo was a much press-agented
and eventually a highly-overrated In
dian. Although he was a daring war
leader. he was not a chief. The mas
sacre Of his whole family by Mexicans
In the early eos sent him on the war
path against them. The laundering
policy Of our government towards the
Apaches was largely responsible for
his hostility toward Americans.
1t is difficult to justify thus some
OF the cruelties practiced by Geroni-
mo and his Chiricahua warriors, past
masters in the art Of hide0us torture.
This Is what they did to one prospect
or, who had been wounded but not
fatally: Cutting off the soles of his
feet the Apaches staked him down
over: red ant hill. There, Instead of
killing him, they let the ants finish
the job.
When the government tried to settle
the Chiricahuas on the San Carlos
reservation, Arizona, in 1876, Geronimo
and some Of the other young leaders
fed to Mexico. He came on the reser-
walton later, but from that time until
1884 1t was a case Of ION again, Off
again" with Geronimo. Then he led
our soldiers a merry chase of more
than 5000 miles all over the Southwest
and in 1886 was finally brought to bay
in Mexico by Capt. H. w. Lawton.
Geronimo acquired his widest notori-
ETY.. while he was prisoner of war at
Fort Sill, Okla. He was taken to the
Buffalo and Omaha expoSitions, but he
was still hostile at heart and turned
his face away from the crowds. In
1903 he adopted the Christian religion
and became devout church-goer. He
Joined a Wild West show and in 1904
he attended the St.. Louis exposition,
where he almost got writer's cramp
from printing his autograph to sell.
The last years.of his life were spent
in trying to persuade the government
to return him to his old home in Ari-
zona. He was unsuccessful and when
he died February 81, 1909, although he
had gone on his last war trail nearly
a quarter of century before, he was
still prisoner of war.

MINNESOTA WOOL
POOL UNDER WAY
State Growers Organization Per
fected Under Farm Bureau
Auspices

Steps to place the Minnesota wool
pool on a permanent basis were TAX
en- last week at ST. Paul by delegates
from nearly every county in the
state when a new organization, to be
known as the Minnesota Cooperative
Wool Marketing association was
launched. The meeting was held un-
der auspices of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation, with ]. F. Reed
president, presiding. " z.
Before the organization, reports
presented to the meeting showed
that farmers who pooled the 1921
clip had realized from to 8 cents a
pound more than they would have OBJ
tanned had they sold to local buyers
at shearing time. approximately
100000 pounds were in Minnesota
pools at Wabasha Chicago and Farm
1ngton this season.
1.-THE pool has benefited all grow
ers," says Mr.. Reed, "by reason of
withholding from sale supplies that
otherwise would have had the effect
of further Cutting the market. Be-
sides this valuable service, prices OBJ
tanned by every producer of wool in
the state. Wool buyers had to meet
the prices for wool made possible by
the advances Of the managers of the
pools. Thus to assume that only
half the states total clip was helped
and that the average increased price
was no more than that which men
who pooled even low grade obtained
the net dollar and cents value of the
pool to farmers of the state
was $4,000. Actually, the saying
is far more than that amount.
The permanent organization meet
ing will be held January 4. Until
that time, the following temporary
directors will serve: Simon Braun of
Wabasha: C. W. Glotfelter of Water
vile; A. L. Sayer of Farmington:
Alex Huddleston of Wabasha; T. II.
OConnell of LIE Sueur; L. w. Samuel
son of Lafayette and T. H. Hagen of
Lakeville.
Aside from promoting the wool
pool, the organization will aim to
Keep farmers in touch with market
conditions, educate members as to
grades and buy and sell wool market
Ing supplies. None but actual wool
producers can join. The association
has capital stock worth $4,000, which
will be sold at SO a share.

uaa Of Coal In arsa. RrItaIn.

Just when coal was first used In
Great Britain does not seem to be very
clear. It was, however, used by early
Britons and was to some extent an
article Of household consumption dur
ing the Anglo-Saxon period as early
as 625 A. D. There seems to be good
reason to believe that Britain was the
first European country In which coal
was used to any extent. A coal pit
at Preston, Haddington, was granted
to the monks Of Newbottle between
1910 and 1919 A. D.. and Henry III,
Is recorded as having given a license
to dig for coal in 1884.

Raised Rare orchid From Seed.

The lizard orchid has been saved
from extinction by the efforts Of a
cottager In Kent. He has proved that
is Is amenable to- cultivation from
seed. At one time this rarest and
most beautiful Of British orchids was
thought to have entirely disappeared,
and the finding OF specimen in Kent
after a. lapse Of many years caused
quite q sensation among botanists.
Since then only isolated specimens
have been found at considerable In
tervals. Now, however, cottager
named Fox, living at Adisham, near

under natural conditions, and has a
score or so Of plants In bloom.-Lon-
