The Grand Portage Trail.

Recommending that the oldest
trail in Minnesota used continuously
by white men be set apart as state
property, the State historical con-
vention held at Duluth on July %
and 20 called attention to a region
rich in tradition and natural beauty.
The Grand Portage trail extending
from the present settlement of Grand
Portage on Lake Superior to the Pr
geon river was an important link in
the greatest trade route in the north
west during the latter part of the
eighteenth century.
For several generations this trail
has been forgotten. 1t was once the
inlet for supplies from the east and
the outlet for the furs of nearly the
whole northwest. Dusty old records
had to be consulted to reconstruct
the picture of the huge traffic that
once flowed over this route from the
Great Lakes to the waterways Of
western Canada, while the existence
Of an old trading post fort on the
Pigeon river lend of the trail had
been almost completely forgotten.
An exploring party sent out by the
Minnesota Historical society traced
the Grand Portage trail from end to
end and discovered conclusive evil
dences of old Fort Charlotte which
once marked the upper end Of the
Grand Portage. The outlines of
building foundations, a cellar, and
the logs of the old wharf were tesit-
mony to its former existence.
At present, a party working under
the supervision of the State Histor-
zeal society is excavating on the site
of Fort Charlotte.

about these things for while:
Thirty years ago
The worlds most famous automobile manufacturer
and rated as the richest individual in America was
day laborer in a bicycle factory,
The country's most famous hotel owner and mil
fionaire many times over, bell boy in rooming

The man who is today the "steel king" Of America
was working sixteen hours day stoker In blast
furnace.
The man who is today one of the countrys most
powerful bankers of international repute was
fireman a locomotive.
The president Of the United States was working as
day laborer in a printing Office.
One of the greatest merchants in America was ped
dler travelling the country with pack on his back
The president of of the nations biggest railroad
systems was pounding a key in a telegraph office

your station life will be 80 hence is not going
to depend upon yourself more than upon any other

as intruders and soon started trouble.

group of settlers. A bloody attack
