"new CONNER" family fitted in just
fine for the summer. In the mean
time my grandfather was constantly
on the lookout for suitable farm.
In the fall of that year he bought a
small farm at Cokato, containing
about 100 acres and moved onto it
sometime in September. 1t had a lit
tie old dilapidated log house, a
couple of sheds which were supposed
to represent barn and granary, and
only seven acres under cultivation,
the rest being perfectly wild and COW
cred with native timber. My grand
father had seen enough of the differ
emit soils in the state to know where
to pick the best. The south half of
Meeker, the south half Of Wright, and
parts of Mcleod and Carver counties
are only equally in fertility by a
100000 acre tract somewhere in New
Jersey, according to U. S. Geo. sur
vey. At least that is what l am told.
The location was most favorable, be-
cause 23 acres were inside the village
limits, and only so miles from Mime
apolis, which meant marketing ad'
vantages.
The owner seemed to realize that
also for the price was $4,000. 90,
which generally was considered about
$1,000, too much, but which later
proved to be very good investment,
especially when marketing grain and
live stock. On the little farm things
moved rather slowly the first year,
as the big trees-some were "a to 80
inches in diameter-had to be grub
bed out by hand. This was by no
means an easy job as grubbing trees
or stumps in those days was done
very differently from now. They had
no horsepower winch or Fordson
tractor to pull them out; neither did
they have dynamite or other explo-
sives with which to "shoot them. u
Two men today with modern equip
ment can clear about as much land
as SO could then.
Little by little the clearings grew,
the crops Increased, and so did the
profits. Aside from straw sheds for
the cattle, the first building to be
erected was granary, large enough
to hold all grain crops. Then came a
corn crib; after which followed a
substantial barn; and lastly after Nv
ing in the little log house with the
leanto for ten years, grandfather with
his wife and two children moved in
to a new brick-veneered house. Each
year showed larger profit, and soon
it was all paid for. His former years
of hardships were things of the past,
and as the years went on they be-
canoa moderately wall-tO-dO
While it is now in other hands, ii
still stands there-the old homestead
the old log house and all. 1t is my
fathers childhood home. To me il
is history-to my father, and to my
grandfather now IS, it is a dear spot
never to be forgotten.

Valuable Contribution to Early
History of State Made By
Sank Centre School Students

The Herald publishes herewith the
third prize-winning essay written by
Evelyn Mortenson in the recent con-
test participated in by the students OF
the Sank Centre Public schools. The
essays by Virginia Kells and Robert
Schoenhoff follow. Each essay will
be mighty interesting and instructive
reading dealing as they do with the
early history of this community.

Early History of Our Community

In practically all communities,
there is one chief factor that is an
incentive to the founding of that COM
munity. Sank Centre was located
where it is because of the advantage
that could be derived from the river
by building a dam. The town of
Sank Centre was therefore built
around the dam.
Had a group of people who wished
to locate Sank Centre on Fairy Lake
five miles from here had their way,
Sank Centre would be known as
"Kandota;" and it's location would
have been five miles northwest of it's
site today. However, these people
did not have their way. The first
settlement in Sank Centre was made
by Alexander Moore. Mr.. Moore
came here in 1857. During the early
period of Sank Centres development.
Mr.. Moore and his mother Rachel
Moore owned practically all of the
land in the city and adjacent to it.
Mr.. Moore built the first dam here.
Alexander Moore is credited with
having named the town. So many
theories are advanced as to the mean
ing of the name that it is practical
ly impossible to ascertain the au-
thentic ones. A favorable theory
among the old settlers seems to be
that the Indians used Sank Centre as
a trading post and termed it thus,
meaning Little Centre "Sauk"
meaning ''little" in the Sioux Ian
guage. Another theory is that
"Sauk" means beautiful in the Chip
pewa language and that their tribe Of
Indians called it "Sauk Centre be-
cause of the beauty of the woods and
hills surrounding the town.
The first Stockade was built in
1862. The Stockade was located in
what is now the southeast part of the
city. 1t was rough affair of logs
enclosing space of about three
blocks. In the inside there was only
one street running directly through
the center. On both sides were rough
log cabins. The first store was own.
ed by J. A. Capser. Mr.. Pendergast
was the first postmaster in the stock
ade. The old settlers say that Mr..
Pendergast kept all the mail in one
little box. When anyone came TO,
their mail, he would motion to the
box and tell them to pick out their
own.
The very first school in Sank Cen
tire was taught in the Stockade by a.
man named Louch. Mr.. Louch was
soldier who belonged to one of the
three regiments sent to the Stockade
from Fort Smelling to protect the peo-
pie from the Indians. The next year
my great grandmother, Anna Smith,
taught the school in the Stockade. She
was paid in very unique way. The
parents sending children to school
would give her a pie, cake, or
some such article, taking turns so
that every day her dinner was donat-
ed by the pioneers,
Twice asweek stage coach came
through the town. All the freight
was hauled from the cities by OK
teams. In 1866, my great grandmoth-
er came to Sank Centre from New
York. She and her husband, Edward
Smith, travelled by rail to Elk River
and from there came the rest of the
way by stage coach.
It is interesting to know that two
tribes of Indians that inhabited this
region were the "Sioux" and the
"Chippewas. These two tribes were
constantly at war with each other. In
1862, the rage of the Sioux culminat-

they conquered the country or the
country conquered them.
Sank Centre, thriving city of to-
day, owes it's birth and development
to these sturdy pioneers-living and
striving-not knowing the words
"can't" or "give up'-clearing a
space in the timber to build cabin
-subduing the Indians, in fact, ov-
grooming all obstacles so that now
we may call this place home.
