support. But there were at the
time special reasons then deemed
sufficient to justify the move and it
went through. The subject was
pretty thoroughly discussed through
out the county in public meetings
and before election day came about
the people were fully conversant
with the situation and the reasons
for and against the bond issue.
There were two prominent items
Of alleged benefit to the county which
no doubt carried the election, namely
/, that the new road would give this
part Of the state direct communica-
ton with the waterway at Duluth,
enabling shippers to avoid the extra
tax in the form of freight charges
for the transportation OF farm pro-
ducts to Duluth, by way of st. Paul
or Minneapolis; and 2, that the pro-
posed road would give convenient
access to the fuel supply furnished by
the heavy timber east Of Sank Cen
ter.
Both reasons had merit, and the
new road simply compensated the
people, for the bonus given to the
railroad company. So that If bonus
Is proper in any such case / am per-
sonally opposed to them) there was
no serious mistake in this instance.
The new road furnished an outlet to
Duluth thus making the grain mar
ket at least $50 miles shorter than
via Minneapolis, resulting IN cor
responding saving to shippers, a
necessary benefit to the producers
The matter of fuel was an impor-
tant. matter in this section of the
state at that time. Cord wood was
the principal item in use, though
soft coal had to some extent been
found available for small heating
stoves. 1t was not generally used.
and hard coal, now universally found
both in town and on the farm, was
not in use at all. The wood supply
after the coming of the st. Paul &
Pacific Road was from the extensive
timber belt extending from Darwin
in Meeker county to Long Lake in
Hennepin county. But the supply
there was rapidly giving out, and the
limited quantity brought in was
selling at 81 to $40 per cord
for Indifferent varieties; previous
prices ranging from 81 to $3.50 per
cord for the best quality of hard
maple. For number of years St.
Paul and Minneapolis drew their fuel
from that direction, the railroad COM
pany used it in their locomotives and
annually consumed enormous guam
titles; every town along the road as
far as Breckenridge and all the
prairie settlers west of the woods de-
pended on that source for fuel, and
train load after train load passed
over the road at all seasons of the
year by trains devoted. exclusively to
that class of traffic. The supply was
not inexhaustable and was doomed
soon to disappear entirely. Many
farmers in the northern and eastern
part of the county had found it nee
essary, at least a matter of economy
to obtain the fuel from the timber
country around Holmes City In
Douglas county. A number Of them
Joined in the purchase Of standing
timber there, cutting and carting it
across country in the winter sea-
son. In view of that situation of the
| fuel question, for which no other re-
lief was then in sight, it was be-
lieved that railroad into that part
Of the state, where the timber was
heavy and fuel plentiful would re-

lieve the burdens incident to the
growing scarcity from the other
direction, and the argument was
used in the canvass with persuasive
effect. That the point was not with
out merit was demonstrated when the
road was constructed for thereafter
and until both hard and soft coal
came into general use, the wood sup
ply was abundant, and the price per
cord fell back to substantially that OF
the earlier days.
r. G. Moore, of the firm Of Kenner
& Moore. dealers in agricultural i'm
plements at Morris, and also bankers,
was most actively engaged in sup
porting the new railroad and the is
suance of the bonds. and to him was
given the honor, or whatever distinc-
ton was thought to be attached to
the act, of driving the golden
spike" when the last rail of the track
was laid in the village Of Morris.
Whether 1t was q real golden spike
I do not know; was not present at
the ceremony though it was made
something of an event as now re-
call
There was a third element in that
contest which favored the bonds, and
that was the fact that the Hill road
was very much opposed to the new
line: as well as the milling interests
of Minneapolis, as claimed at the
time. 1t would interfere with the
revenues Of the railroad, and work
to the detriment of the Minneapolis
mills. The, railroad opposition was
SO strong that the Manitoba Company
threatened to parallel the proposed
new road with one to st. Cloud from
Morris, and a grading crew was sent
in and considerable grading done in
support Of the threatened St., Cloud
line; the remains Of which are still
shown for some distance east from
the Browns Valley "Y." The Mani
toba constructed the Browns Valley
line as part of it's plan of opposi-
ton, but gave up the idea of extend
ing it further. The Milling interests
were not particularly active.
The Little Falls & Dakota was
supposed to extend it's line to Dakota,
but after the line had been completed
to Morris, some traffic arrangement
was entered into with the Manitoba
Company which in effect and for all
practical purposes made the Browns
Valley a connecting line to Dakota,
and the Little Falls Company was
saved the expense of going beyond
Morris. When the Little Falls line
reached Morris, and for sometime
thereafter, the trains into town and
the Manitoba station, then directly
across the street from the present
Merchants hotel. was the joint sta
ton of both roads, with one agent.
This however, continued for year
or so only, and the Little Falls sta
tion was removed to the present site.
The new road reached Morris in the
fall of 1882. -,a.
It may be interesting to recall the
names of the "speIlbinders," who are
supposed to have argued and pre-
sented the matter of issuing, the
bonds to the voters of the county.
Their names appear in early editions
of the Morris papers. Hon. Ignatius

FAIRFIELD

The Greenfield Country Club is soon to be reorganized. This club at one time was very active, and many of the Fairfield residents are very time it had a membership of over 300 people but it has dwind1ed down to less than 100.
 The club added greatly to the social life of the residents of Fairfield and Southport. It ran many dances, socials, etc. They plan, according to Simon Bradley, who is in charge, to enroll many of the younger set. This would attract great crowd at the club and would aid it financially. The dance hall has been enlarged and the club rooms have been remod- eled. The club house is very attrac- tive and they plan to run dances at very frequent intervals throughout the year.
 A band concert will be held We'd nesday night in Fairfield. The Unquowa Fife and Drum Corps will be the attraction, they have just re- Waterbury, where they made a very creditable showing.
