MIDWEST CANNING co. MAY
LOCATE AT WORTHINGTON

Prospects for securing the branch
canning factory of the Midwest Can
ming corporation of Rochelle, Illinois,
at Worthington were frightened on
Thursday of last week when three
company officials spent day here
inspecting the territory" says the
Worthington Globe. "They went
about their work quietly and confer
red with no officials other than w.
H. Buchan, city clerk, who gave them
data on the water supply.
Samples of the city water were
taken for analysis and information
was received regarding the quantity
of water available here.
"While the officials gave no indi-
cation of their future plans, it has
been known for some time that the
company has under consideration the
erection of plant in this vicinity.
1.-TWO of the cities receiving the
most attention from the officials
have been Worthington mad Sibley
and it is believed locally that because
the water supply at Sibley appears
inadequate from the results of a city
well drilled there last year, Worth
ington is most favored as the site.

where, few years later, she attend
ed the first school in the Northwest
that was established for Indian chill
dren.
A memorial is placed on the site
of this schoolhouse, near the boule-
ward parkway at the west end of the
lake. Her Indian name was Winona
but in later years her people called
her Observation-Disclosures "Great Spirit"
or Goddess" because of the beauty
of her face and soul. Her mothers
name was Wakaninajinwin, Islands
Sacred" and she was the daughter of
Chief Cloud Man, leader of the CAL
houn band of Sioux who were the
Irst farm colony in Minnesota, long
before white men could secure title to
Minnesota lands.
Cloud Man was the most active and
successful of any western chief in
leading his people to adopt the best
instead of the. worst of the white
mans ways. He welcomed the first
missionary, Samuel Pond, to hold re-
gular services at his village so they
had church and school.
Cloud Man was also always friend
ly to the Chippewa Indians, refusing
to be warrior against them when
other Sioux or his own band were
ready to fight. Toward the close of
long life of faithful service the u.
S. government rewarded Cloud Man
by building brick house for the
home of himself and family near the
big stone government agency build
ing which still stands in Redwood
county. DIR. Eastman's mother was
cared for in this home during her
last illness and near by is her burial
place.
The known Minnesota ancestry of
Cloud Man extends back to more than
a century before the Revolutionary
War, near to the time of the first
white settlement on the Atlantic
coast. The Minneapolis area then was
part of the happy hunting grounds in
the domain of a Santee Sioux chief
whose villages were nearer the source
of the Father of Waters.
Hennepin makes plain the large
part which the Minnesota Indians
took in his venture in the pages of
of his big books telling of his "Voy-
age Into Newly Discovered Country
in the Vast Continent of America"
After several months of alternate
travelling and hating along water
routes from Quebec, Father Henne-
pin and two companions reached the
Mississippi, by way of the Illinois
river. These three men in a loaded
boat padded their way slowly up

ed a larger percentage of response
according to their numbers than had
come from the whites. His son, Obi
yesa, served in the U. S. Navy.
After the war, when David Lloyd
George visited America and spoke his
first message to the people of the
United States from the Radisson
hotel in Minneapolis, DIR. Eastman
contributed an important feature of
the reception group.
He had brought from a western
reservation group of his followers
who spoke greetings to this noted
leader of the allied countries, pre-
scented to him an eagle feather crown
making him an honorary Chief of the
Sioux, and christened him with the
name of the greatest chief of their
past history. The spoken part of this
ceremony was in the Sioux tongue,
the only language spoken in Mime
sofa when Father Hennepin came,
but now its meaning unknown to
1000 guests present and to the radio
audience of the country until inter-
preted to them in English by DR..
Eastman.
About this time DR.. Eastman was
president Of the Society of North
American Indians, when they held
their national convention in Mime
apolis, and held government posi-
ton appointed by President Coolidge,
his fellow townsman from North
ampton, Massachusetts,.
DR.. Eastman has been a director of
the Brooks-Bryce Foundation of New
York City, with international activi-
ties promoting friendship and peace
between English speaking races,
build foundations for world peace.
This society sponsored a series of
addresses by DR.. Eastman to schools
and universities of Great Britain dur
ing months of the winter of 1929.
The present Earl of Dartmouth was
one of his hosts and Lloyd George
was active in giving eminence to his
tour.
DR.. Eastman's writings on Ameri-
can Indian topics are published and
read in more languages and countries
of Europe than are books of any
other living American writer.
While DIR. Eastman was in Mime
sofa this year he was joined by his
sister, who now lives at Flandreau,
South Dakota, and they visited the
burial place of their mother in Red
wood county, where five generations
of their family had formerly lived.
Their mother was born one hundred
years ago near the shore of Lake
Harriet, a few rods from the place

was found to be an accurate guide to
the best route to Lake Michigan. The
boat was placed in the upper part of
the river which Father Hennepin was
sent to find, and it quickly moved to
the place of The Great Discovery.
The spot, near Anoka, where Faith
er Hennepin launched his boat and
the spot below St. Anthony, selected
by DR.. Folwell as the place where he
came to his first full view of the wa
terfalls, have been marked with
memorial tablets by the Daughters
of American Colonists.
Aquipaquetin's investment in the
Hennepin return outfit and his nego-
-tiations with his adopted son and
with Duluth, who by chance, Joined
them, was the beginning of the first
Big Business of Minnesota; the
marketing of the products Of the in
dustry and skill of the Indians of the
Northwest.
Another remarkable sequel to the
friendship and confidence established
by Father Hennepin's intimate asso-
citation with Minnesota Indians was
the continuous cooperation without
hostility between these two races
from that year of 1850 to 1862, the
year of the sudden outbreak from
the Redwood reservation, 1872 years
of peace; a record without a parallel
in other states.
Through the medium of the story
and history telling community custom
of the Indians there has come down
through their generations since Faith
er Hennepin's time the information
that the ancestry Of Cloud Man, the
peace leader of the Calhoun tribe, is
traced back in direct line of line
age to Aquipaquetin.-The Minneapo-
lis Journal.

ton University.
Following his years of school, DR..
Eastman returned to his native state
for the practice of medicine in St.
Paul until he was appointed govern
ment physician on Dakota reserva-
ton among the people Of his race.
Here he met his wife, Eleanor Good
ale, one of the "Sky Farm" poets Of
New England, a teacher and welfare
worker in the same reservation. She
received appointments as supervisor
of all Indian schools of the state.
They have written many books, sep
arately and together.
''Dr. Eastman's first book was en-
dian Boyhood," in which he says: 81
nave put together these fragmentary
.ecollections of my thrilling wild life
expressly for the little son who came
TOO late to behold for himself the
drama of savage existence; l dedicate
this little book, with love, to Ohiyesa
the second, my son."
While in reservation work DR..
Eastman became closely acquainted
with Theodore Roosevelt, then a Da-
kota rancher. Roosevelt urged DR..
Eastman to discontinue medical prac-
tice for literary work.
When Roosevelt became President
he appointed DR.. Eastman to a posi-
ton in the Indian service which he
held for seven years. Part of his
work was making the first permanent
records of Sioux Indian families.
The Eastman family resided in st.
Paul for about ten years, where their
children attended primary and grade
schools. Their eldest daughter, VIM
ona, recently, for three years was
principal of a high school for girls
in S.. Paul preparing for college en-
trance and now has a similar posi-
ton at Wellesley, Massachusetts.
Miss Eastman earned Masters de-
gree from Columbia University.
During later years the Eastmans
have lived in New England college
towns and for several seasons con-
Quoted a successful summer camp for
girls in the New Hampshire woods. 1t
was then that the Camp Fire Girls
were organized, the only national or
ganization based upon Indian GUS
toms, names, rituals, and methods of
training as adopted for their use by
Minnesota's Ohiyesa.
Fifteen hundred Camp Fire Girls
of Minneapolis entertained DR.. East
man at their summer camp, as an in
vited guest, and other similar groups
of young people joined them to hear
his address to them in Minneapolis
early this year.
When the st. Paul Auditorium was
first completed it was dedicated by
staging pageant of Minnesota His
tory by 700 performers. Indian fea-
lures were prominent as planned by
DR.. Eastman who impersonated Hia-
watha and many will remember their
training under his skillful direction.
During the World War he was sent
by the U. S. government to all north
western Indian reservations and colo
mics to solicit enlistments and receiv-

MILROY CREAMERY
INCREASES PATRONAGE

With gain of twenty-nine patrons
the Milroy Cooperative creamy butter
output remained about the same as
last year for the month of Aug. The
Board considered this fairly good
considering the insufficient pasturage
during the drouth spell. First grade
butterfat was priced at forty cents in
August, three cents higher than for
July. Three dairymen received checks
above $4,000.

stream for weeks on their voyage of
discovery until, as Hennepin tells,
"We perceived all of a sudden no
less than fifty canoes, which were
made of bark, and with one hundred
and twenty savages who came down
the river with extraordinary swift
ness to surprise their enemy tribes.
They surrounded us Immediately and
began to let fly their arrows till the
eldest among them perceived that l
held Calumet or Pipe of Peace in
my hand, came up to US and pre-
vented our being murdered by their
warriors"
This was Father Hennepin's first
meeting with this Northern Minneso-
ia tribe and when he told them that
their tribal enemies were on their
way farther south they started their
return with these rare prize prison
ers. This meeting was also demon
stration of how quickly effective was
the red mans emblem of peace, which
came from Minnesota's pipestone
quarries; the only spot on the CONT
nent where for centuries all tribes
came and met without hostility.
These super athletic warriors and
expert canoeists supplied the motive
power for swift and safe and sure
transport of the Hennepin crew and
luggage northward until they landed
on the present site of St. Paul and
destroyed Father Hennepin's boat to
prevent it's use for his return.
From here they continued afoot
overland to their tribal homes. This
last portion of Father Hennepin's
progress halfway across the contin-
ent was following a trail by mode
of travel common and easy for the
Indian but was marathon event for
which he had not been trained. The
torture and exhaustion from keeping
pace left him nearly helpless.
Father Hennepin, the captive, with
prospect Of being held slave soon
became Hennepin, the son of Chief
Aquipaquetin, leader of the tribe and
of the war party, taking the place of
a son who had been killed by their
southern enemies. Becoming a men,
Der of the chiefs family was with
some ceremony. Father Hennepin
writes:
1.-THE. day after my arrival, Al
uipaquetin, who was the head of
a great family, put me on robe
made of skins of Wild Bulls
(buffaloes) and gave me Sec
ond robe made of ten beaver
skins. Then he showed me his
wives and told them to esteem
me as one of their sons. After
this he set bark dish before me
in which there were. different
kinds of white fish to regale me
withal. He gave orders to those
about him to give me the title
that was due to the rank l was
to hold among my new kindred"
Father Hennepin's new relatives
were considerable of his weakened con-
dition and knew the remedy. They
placed him in a small tight compart-
ment covered with buffalo robes, and
produced intense heat with red hot
flints and stones which caused an ac-
tive sweat bath. The a vigorous

to the tribe did not improve
his chance of returning to

he convinced Aquipaquetin

turn he would send traders
to exchange these for their
furs.

Last year at the COM
mencement season in June
1929, there was presented
and dedicated in the new
Dartmouth College library
building, a full length por-
trait painting of DIR. East
man by a noted New York
artist. One of DR.. Eastman's
Dartmouth classmates writes
in their Alumni Magazine
Now his life is crowned by
a kind of honor that no
other alumnus could hope
for-an Immortality that a
work of Julius Katzieff
gives him in the painting de-
dictated this commencement!
The mission at Dartmouth
will persist forever-and as
the generations of Dart
mouth men pass into life
from out its portals, the i'm
age of Ohiyesa will look
down upon them! 1t is a
rare tribute!"
This reference to the orig
in of Dartmouth and its re-
cent event is of special in
terest to Minnesotans as
Ohiyesa was born on a Sioux
reservation in western Min
nesota in what is now Red
wood county, near the town
of Redwood Falls.
