Since 1924 Russia has steadily con-
tinued its campaign. The general
strike in 1925 was hailed in Moscow
and supported financially. Similar aid
was extended to the coal miners when
SSay refused to return TO work. These
two strikes inflicted upon Britain
losses which were colossal and Grip

Here's a lesson to the fellow who
always wants to drive your car. Last
Friday while returning from Mime
apolis where he had attended the
auto show, Cary Brien, accompanied
by Emil Seleen of Storden, not only
suffered a heavy financial loss to his
new Oakland but nearly shuffled off
this mortal coil. Seleen was desir-
Gus of driving the car. He asked
many times and finally Mr.. Brien con-
scented. Seleen had not driven over
two or three miles when hitting a ship
perry rut at a speed Of forty miles
an hour, he lost control of the car.
The accident occurred at stretch in
the road with rising enbankments on
either side. Fortunately this was, for
had there been deep ditch both men
would undoubtedly have been killed.
The car lurched to the side OF the
road, hit the bank and turned turtle.
The momentum then carried the car
fifty feet down the road where 1t
turned again. The sedan top was
badly shattered and the men bruised,
but the car made Redwood Falls UNI
der its own power and the following
day was taken to Minneapolis by Mr..
Seleen for repairs. It was an expen-
-sive experience for Seleen.-Murray

party, who had gone up to Blue Earth
via the Minnesota in TOO, came down
river with boatload of blue or green
shale which he mistook for copper
ore, and boatload of beaver and 9TH
er Indian furs.
From that day until 1897, the Min
nesota river was one of the leading
traffic arteries of the state. Indian
canoes and Mackinaw boats traversed
it's length in the early days.
The first steamboat to enter the
Minnesota river was the Virginia, on
May 10, 1928. 1t went up only as
far as Mendoza and Fort Smelling, but
this was the beginning of the steam
boat traffic, which grew until, in
1866, a total of 100000 bushels Of
wheat was shipped from Mankato
alone, via the Minnesota river.
Wheat was not the only cargo
which rode the waters of the Mime
sofa. Supplies for Indians travelled
by that route as did arms and am
munition for the military-even con-
demned Sioux from the prison at
Mankato were carried by the early
boats.
Winnebago Warriors Rode Boat
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1927-02-23

It was in 1853 that the quiet river
saw one of the strangest sights ir
it's history when the Winnebagoes
were moved from Blue Earth county
to their new agency in Nebraska
They made their journey down the
Minnesota river on the Pomeroy and
the Eolian. just a few days earlier
a party of the savages had killed two
Sioux who were visiting the agency
Planted on the Pomeroy's hurricane
deck were poles bearing the two Sioux
scalps, while a war party of 20 young
bucks, their bodies daubed with mud
and paint, with wreaths of green
weeds and grass on their heads, squat
ted around the poles, chanting in time
with the montonous beat Of tom toms.
Steamboat traffic on the Minnesota
river began and ended with excur-
sions. In June of 1850, Captain DAN
lei Able took LA prominent citizens
of st. Paul and a military band from
Fort Smelling abroad the Anthony
Wayne, on an excursion as far as
Carver. That was the beginning Of
competition between steamboats, of
the day to see which could go farther
est up the river.
The real passenger and freight
traffic saw its heyday between 1852
and 1871. There were many boats
on the river in those years-the
Globe, the Black Hawk, the Reveille,
the Moptello, the Favorite. When
boats reached Sioux at the Redwood
agency with supplies the Indians
would run out to welcome the-boat
shouting, "Nitoka pata-wata washta"
or "Your big fire-canoe is good" Cap
tain Edward Bell, who commanded the
Globe in 1856, often told that story
during his lifetime.
Refugees Waited in River
The settlers also ran out on the
levee at all towns to see sidewheelers
and sternwheelers go by. Perhaps
the time the boat was the most well
come was in the days of the Indian
outbreak of 1862. Captain Bell, in
his "reminiscences, told of arriving at
Carver in that August to find men,
women and children in their night
clothes, standing in the river, waiting,
just as they had fled from the In
dians.
Steamboat traffic was leisurely,
though Captain Louis Robert of the
Time and Tide insisted that "Time
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1927-02-23

and Tide" waits for no man." Now
the boat would stop at some forest for
wood, now one or both Of the smoke
stacks would be tangled in overhang-
ing boughs, now the boat would be
struck fast on a sandbar, now tied to
tree to repair damage done by a
snag, while passengers sat on the
bank eating wild Strawberries, OF
hunted in the forests.
Much of Minnesota's history is link
ed with traffic on the Minnesota riv-
er.
It was the steamer Excelsior which
transported Honorable Luke Lea and
Governor Ramsey in 1851 to Traverse
des Sioux, when the famous Indian
treaty was made. The Benjamin
Franklin No. carried party of resi-
dents of st. Paul and st. Anthony to
witness progress of the treaty meet

quent. In 1867 the Julia sank two
miles below Mankato, when it struck
snag. The boat, loaded with pas
sengers and freight, sank in IL feet
of water. None of the passengers
were injured, and nearly all the
freight was recovered, but the boat
was wrecked. Its hull lies in the
sands of the Minnesota today.
Wheat shipments in 1866 amounted
to 688,641 bushels-one Of the peak

plans for an advertising campaign
at least in proportion to that which
brought 1906, 900 tourists to Mime
sofa in 1926 were made by the board
of directors of the Ten Thousand
Lakes association at st. Paul. To aid
in the work, an appropriation Of $25,-

recommended. Fifty men from vary
ious parts Of the state are appointed
to the advisory committee of the or
ganization, as announced by Arthur
L. Roberts Of Winona, president.

SBy Florence Lehman in Minneapo-
lis JournaD
Revival of transportation on the
Minnesota river, down which the white
man sailed his first load of freight
more than 200 years ago, today has
been made possible by the decision of
the United States government to build
a 100000 dam in the Mississippi
river just above Hastings.
Thirty years have elapsed since the
3ast stern wheeler churned the waters
of the Minnesota past Shakopee and
Chaska, st. Peter and Mankato.
The days when armed steamboats,
made their way warily upstream, be-
tween banks hiding hostile Indians,
and anchored in midstream at night
for safety, have gone forever. The
Time and Tide, the Black Hawk, the
Ocean Wave, the Equator, are only
names.
Will Create Pool to Shakopee
But today the possibility that boats
carrying freight and men may once
more ascend the Minnesota, past the
old towns whose names are written
barge in the history Of the state, was
indicated.
The 18-foot dam to be erected three
miles above Hastings, in the Missis-
-sippi river, to create a pool at least
six feet deep all the way to The Twin
City high dam, also will affect the
Minnesota river, Major R. C. Williams,
United States engineer in charge, said
today.

said. However, there is no reason
why towboats and barge transporta-

It was in the spring of 1701 that
the white man first used the Mime

This is the likeness of the Bunce
Hotel which in the good old days Oc-
cupied the site of the present Hotel
Ramsey. Visitors who came up the
Minnesota in the OsceOla probably
spent the night at this inn. There is
much conjecture as to who the styl-
ishly dressed gentleman in the front
rank may be. 1t may be H. N. Bell,
or Joe Tyson or Dad Isham or any of
the gay and flashy "young dogs" of
that day.

A pool also will be created in the

stream as Shakopee, he said, though
the water level will not be effected
appreciably. The level will be rails

said, but there will be no danger of

Old steamboat days on the Mime
sofa are recalled by this picture of the
good ship Osce0la as she sailed the
waters of the river in this vicinity,
docking probably at the Kuenzli farm

shese days but she was considered
right smart handsome them. What
has become of her is something for

WHO DOES HE REPRESENT?

The Attorney General of Alaska elected for the purpose of providing legal advice to the legislative bodies executives and defend the laws passed and sought to be executed by these and to represent the Territory in all matters where legal services are required.
 Appearing before Judge Reed in proceedings brought by James Wickersham to prevent the utilization of funds voted by the Legislature for the administration of the affairs of the Territory including the payment of salaries to employees of the Territorial government Ator ney General Rusgard made the statement that he would not argue any points of law set up by Mr. Wckersham 'because he had expressed similar opinions held by the plaintiff"
 It is remarkable that the Attorney Generals report presented to the Legislature and containing number of extremely radical and unconstitutional did not contain admonition against voting the funds now sought to be estopped by injunction proceedings During his successive terms of office the Attorney General has failed to present such matter in his annual reports
 MT. Rustgards attitude in the present instance is open grave msgvings and varied interpretations. It evikes the question of whom does he represent his pacty Attorney General of the Territory. In prac ticaly confessng judgment to the detriment of his eli ents and for the benefit of their opponent Mr. Rustgard leaves himself open to the charge of bad faith Did such thing between private tgants, the employing MT. Rustgard would have changed attorneys
 It would be graceful act for him to withdraw from further activities the part of the Territory and likewise make way for someone who earns his pay.
