O. II. Clark Talks
of Old Days Here
TELLS HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF
FUR TRADING
DAYS. >~

The State Historical Society re-
Gently held its seventy-fifth annual
meeting in st. Paul and one of the
speakers at the meeting was o. H.
Clark, connected with the pioneer
days of Redwood Falls. The Mime
apolis Journal had the following COM
ment concerning Mr. Clzrk's talk.
Among the pioneers of the state
who were present at the meeting was
o. H. Clark, Minneapolis, who was
actively engaged in the fur trade of
the state as an associate of Louis Ro-
bert, after whom Robert street, st.
Paul, is named.
"Mr. Clark began as a clerk in
Roberts fur trading post at Redwood
Falls, and Later became manager of
the establishment. He recalled, in
vivid detail, the colorful drama of
early fur trading in the Minnesota
valley Immediately after the Civil
war.
"The biggest deal in fur in the his
tory of the valley fur trade fell to
Mr.. Clark's post by dramatic cir
cumStance.
''Grey Thunder, an Indian chief of
the agency near Redwood Falls, sent
his squaw into the post to trade" Mr.
Clarke recalled. "She was discover
ed stealing the curtains off the mess
room windows, and without any more
ceremony than the times demanded,
put her out.
"The next day Grey Thunder came
into the store and started a quarrel.
I picked him up and deposited him in
the street. Then l handed him his
gun and turned my back on him,
thinking no more of it. But the In
dains who saw the incident considered
it particularly brave that I should
hand an enemy a gun and then walk
away unconcerned.
Thereafter Grey Thunder became
my fast friend, and asked to be my
fur scout One day he brought in a
train of more than 100 travois and
oxcarts from the Red River and from
Winnipeg Among the skins were
more than 10000 buffalo robes. They
cost me little less than 81 in trade
apiece"
4'His "reminiscences were among the
most interesting personal experiences
of the older members present at the
discussion of the fur trade"

Company Beats
Madison Team
SATURDAY NIGHTS GAME ENDS
IN SCORE OF &c TO %
FOR LOCALS. <H

Saturday evening at the local Arm
ory, Co. L. defeated the strong Madi-
son outfit. The Co. L. took big lead
the first quarter and although Madi-
son made strong rally the last qu-
arter, Redwood was too much for
them.
The first quarter the Company gave
one of its best exhibitions of this
season. The team 0utplayed Madison
in every phase of the game and it
looked as if it would be walk away.
Hoffert started the adding for
Co. L. by dropping in a long one.
With some fancy floor work and short
quick passes Laudon, Orth, and Hoff-
ert raised the score to for the To-
Gals. Then Madison started to throw
few until when the quarter ended
the score stood IL to 8 in favor of
the locals.
The second quarter was filled with
great defensive work on both sides
and neither team was able to do much
scoring. Madison raised its score to
13 and Orth dropped a short one in
from under the basket and the half
ended ID to 13 in favor of Co. T..
The last half Co. L. came back
strong and rolled in z points while
Madison was held to 1. A great
brand of basketball on the part of
Buff" Carity was the main reason for
Madison's lack of scoring. A good
passing game on the part of Company
L. accounted for their points.
In the last period Madison made a
strong rally which would have proved
fatal for the locals had not the local
guards nut forth their ability to stop
it, Madison made points while
Co. L. was making but Co. L. lead
obtained in the first part of the game
could not be overcome. The final
sscore being 26 to % in favor of
Go. L.

Morgan Farmers
Buy Eight Sires
PUREBRED SIRE CAMPAIGN
ON. THOUGH HANDICAPPED
BY ROAD CONDITIONS.

The Purebred Sire Movement in
Redwood County moves forward
though retarded by the uncertain
roads and cold weather. Roads block
ed for cars in some directions make
it difficult to see many farmers who
have made inquiries.
This move is sponsored by the Coun-
ty Farm Bureau, the Live Stock
Breeders Association, the Holstein-
Fresian Breeders Association, and
also the University of Minnesota Ex-
tension Service. It is purely in the
interest of better dairying and better
stock raising. No particular breed is
being pushed.
County Agent Lynn Sheldon has
general charge while T. G. Norman
is directing the sales force.
Over sixty inquiries has been re-
ceived from interested farmers
throughout the county.
For some days the sales force has
been working in the Morgan COM
munity with good success. Pure bred
bulls have been placed with the fol-
lowing farmers; and several deals
are pending:
