SEVENTY YEARS AGO
IN MINNESOTA.

Seventy wears ago the first steps
were taken to give Minnesota all
vaar communication with the out
side world. In the summer scores
of Mississippi River steamboats,
solved the transportation probiem;
hut. as one territorial governor ex-
messed it, "To get out from here,
during the winter -----is far above
and beyond any other consideration
to the people of Minnesota"
A congressional land grant to
Illinois for aiding railroad construc-
ton aroused the hope that a similar
grant might make possible the build
ing of a railroad in the infant ter
ritory of Minnesota. In. anticlpa-
ton of favorable action at Wash
ington the territorial legislature
granted to a number of local linen
of enterprise" five railroad charters,
not one of which resulted In the
building of a road The Minnesota
and Northwestern Railroad COM
pany, incorporated in 1854, had
strange history the details of which
are told in one of the most interest
ing chapters of the first volume OF
DIR. Folwell's History of Minnesota
It appears that this road was built
only in the imaginations of some OF
those enterprising local men and
group of Wall Street magnates
One project after another resulted
in failure, but finally, in July, 1852
the first railroad in the state began
to operate between st. Paul ano
the Falls of st. Anthony.
Another interesting development
of the year 1853 was the beginning
of a survey for a Pacific Railroad
from st. Paul to Puget
Sound" The task of exploring such
a route was intrusted by the wal
department to Isaac l. Stevens. He
arrived in st. Paul on May 27 ant
by June his entire party wa!
under way The first chapter of hi:
report to the secretary of war, pub
lished in 1855. deals with his jour
ney through the wilderness of west
ern Minnesota. 1t is accompanied
by some interesting illustrations
for example, one of st. Paul il
1853 and another of Minnehaha o.
Browns Falls. Stevens later be
came governor of Washington Ter
ritory.
Thus in the early flfties begin
nings were made which on the one
hand led to the building of stee
highways connecting Minnesota will
eastern markets and on the othe
resulted in the linking of the STATE
with the great undeveloped region
to the west.

DEMANDS PENALTIES.

Werden, May S.-Counsel for the
prosecution at the Krupp court-mar-
tial proceedings, summing up his
case today, demanded prison sentence
of Is years in addition to a fine OF
100000. 900 marks for Baron Krupp
Won Bohlen, president of the works.
The prosecution also asked that a
sentence Of 10 years and II fine Of
100,000,000 marks be imposed on each
of the three directors present, and
for two absent directors counsel de-
manded a prison sentence Of 20 years
and the same fine.
A severe penalty was recommended
for Herr Mueller, factory counsel
man. The prosecution contended that
Mueller was the organizer of h {
attack on the French detachment.
Counsel based demand for convic-
tion, first on the connection of the
directors with the spread of propa-
ganda against the French troops:
second on the fact that they looked
out of the factory windows on the
mob without taking any steps to stop
the demonstration.
