several say that at least two white
men had been on the spot before.
David Thompson is said to have
visited the headwaters in 1898, and
William Morrison, a trader several
years later. However, neither re-
ported his observations. School
craft scooped the world on the
story-even though a year late.
Schoolcraft later in July descend
ed the Mississippi, stopping at Fort
Smelling, then continuing to the
mouth of the st Croix. From there,
he returned to Sault Ste. Marie and
wrote his reports. His books on
travel and exploration in Minneso-
Ia are believed, by some students
and historians to have inspired
Longfellow's "diawatha."
Schoolcraft island will figure
prominently this summer in the
pageants. It will be electrically
lighted and from it the party of
Indians and whites who will par
ticipate in the pageant will move
down the lake in canoes to the
source of the Mississippi.
Under the direction of Grover
Comet, state forester, and Earl
Lang, park superintendent, a
stockade will be erected at this
point. It will be a permanent rep
lica of a frontier trading post of
the type which once marked the
edge of civilization in Minnesota.
The pageant was first presented
July 13-the centennial day. An
other performance was given July
16 and will be repeated July 81,
August II and "a and September 4.
Itasca State Park comprises 3d.
900 acres and covers seven square
miles. Within its borders are 365
lakes and it boasts approximately
125 million feet of Norway and
white pine.

Directors include: o. E. Lewis, of
Bagley, Frank Russell, of Brainerd;
M. N. Kohl, of Cass Lake; Walter
Oby, of Detroit Lakes; N. L. Borg
erding, of Park Rapids; c. ]. Knoll,
of Red Lake Falls; William Dahl
quist, of Thief River Falls; William
Finnegan, of Walker; L. Jensen,
Clearbrook, and Fred Clayton, of
Wadena.
These men, aided by members of
the conservation commission and
students of Minnesota history, will
attempt to attract 100000 persons to
Northern Minnesota to participate
in the states first centennial.
SCHOOLGIRL, who was born in New
York in the second term of George
Washington, was Indian agent at
Sault Ste. Marie when he was in
structed by Lew Cass (for whom
Cass Lake is named), then govern
or, of Michigan territory, to pro-
coed to Minnesota. The war de-
partment wanted to effect cessa-
ton of the harrassing hostilities be-
tween the Sioux and Chippewas.
Although an ardent student of
Indian life and customs, School
craft was primarily mineralogist
and botanist. He also was some
thing of a linquist and versed in
diplomacy. He had explored Sec
tions of Minnesota along the Missis-
sippi few years before Governor
Cass's instructions came along. He
would attempt to stop the trouble
between the Indian nations-but
there was something else. He
wanted to discover the source of
the Mississippi.
The 38-year-old Indian agent re-
ceived his instructions to come to
Minnesota in 1880. The orders ar
rived late in the year so the jour
ney was postponed until the sum-
mer of 1881. The Schoolcraft party
attempted to go up the Mississippi
that summer, but drouth, similar
in intensity to that which parched
Minnesota 100 years later, baked
the attempt. However, it explored
the river south to where the Chip
pewa river flows into the Mississip-
pc. This expedition also included
exploration of the st. Croix river

Some red hot "point-with pride"
ballyhoo has been passed up by the
Democratic party these past 100
years. Andrew Jackson's war de-
partment sent an expedition into
Minnesota in 1882 and in so doing
unwittingly stuck feather in the
party's war bonnet-the discovery
of the source of the Mississippi riv-
er.
Perhaps Henry Rowe School
crafts apparent modesty fooled the
Democratic publicity department.
Schoolcraft discovered the source
(although this is held in doubt by
some students of history)-at Lake
Itasca, July Is, 1882. He reported
He wrote a book about it, but it
wasn't a best seller. He didn't
make a lecture tour. Anyhow, there
weren't many votes in Minnesota
in those days.
Schoolcraft's discovery will be
commemorated this summer in
Northern Minnesota. Ten cities In
thaC SectlOn OF the state nave Uduo-
ed together and in conjunction with
the Minnesota Conservation Com
mission, plan a pageant through
which Schoolcraft's accomplish
ment will be-re-enacted.
Plans for the pageant, which will
be presented six times in July,
August and September in Itasca
State Park at the source of Old
Man River, now are being drafted
by executives of the Northwestern
Association and state officials.
Cities represented in the associa-
ton are.S Bemidji, Bagley, Park
Rapids, Brainerd, Cass Lake, Clear
brook, Detroit Lakes, Red Lake
Falls, Wadena, Thief River Falls
and Walker. Officials of the or
ganization are: Earle A. Barker of
Bemidji, president; Edward Krueg-
er, of Park Rapids, vice president;
George B. Courtney, of Bagley,
treasurer; Harry Merriman, of
Lake Plantaganet, secretary, and
H. z. Mitchell, of Bemidji, publicity
director.

crease the ardor with which we
were carried forward. The desire
of reaching the source of stream
so celebrated as the Mississippi :. e.
was perhaps predominant. We fol
lowed our guide down the sides of
the last elevation. What had been
long sought had at last appeared.
On turning out of thicket, the
cheering sight of body of trans
parent water burst upon our view.
1t was Lake Itasca-the source of
the Mississippi"
Exultant, Schoolcraft ran down
the slope. He was the first to
reach the waters edge. A shout
went up from the members of his
party. Canoes were launched and
padded to the only island in the
-Schoolcraft Island. A small
space was cleared of tries. A flag
pole erected and the american flag
hoisted. Schoolcraft's modesty
about his discovery is evident in
his report to Congress in which he
says:
at will be sufficient to remark
that it was successfully accomp-
lished under the guidance of Oza
Windib. I planted the American
flag on an island in the lake which
is the true source of the Mississippi
river, 149 years after the discovery
of the mouth by LaSalle."
The source lake, then known to
the Indians as La Biche (the Elk
was named Itasca by Schoolcraft.
Before arriving at the lake School
craft asked Rev. Mr.. Boutwell,, for
the Latin words meaning truth and
source-veritas and caput. Strik-
ing off the first syllable of veritas
and the last of caput Schoolcraft
coined the word Itasca.
Although the majority of histor-
ians believe that Schoolcraft dis
covered the Mississippi's source,
