Fillmore Wooden Industry

Fillmore County was pioneer in the
early wooden industry, New Years
Day, 1864, report indicated. The story,
published in the st. Paul Pioneer and
Democrat, and recently found by
member of the Minnesota Writer'S Pro-
ject, stated:
1.-THE Preston (Fillmore County, Re-
publican says the proprietors of the
Preston Wooden Factory are collecting
the materials for enlarging their build
ing to double its former dimensions the
coming season, and when completed will
be one of the finest stone buildings of
the state, with a capacity to turn out
from 10000 to 100000 yards of cloth
fit for the wedding suit of prince.
The Preston WOODEN Mills are bound to
keep the lead. Minnesotans need not
depend upon the East for their woolenS
much longer"

Foresee Opportunity to Put
Selves in Win Column;
Give 80 Boost Out.

Athletic teams of the Ely school
system weren't bit sorry to see 1889
go out of the picture, for the past year
has not been very kind to them.
The New Year, however, is welcomed
with open arms, for it offers an OPP
portunity to do something about stu
alton that is extremely irritating to
say the least. Three-quarters of the
schedules have yet to be played, so
there is still plenty of work to be done.
Up to the holidays, the basketball
and swimming teams had turned in
four wins, one tie and eight defeats, for
percentage of 333 This is about four
times as good, however, as the pre-
Christmas record marked up a year
ago when out of II athletic contests
only one win, and that by the boys
swimming team, had been turned in.
One tie was recorded.
The high school cagers boast the
most impressive record, having won
two and lost two. The victories were
over Tower and Eveleth, while the boys
were defeated by Aurora and Virginia
two of the toughest clubs in the district
Eight games remain to be played
which means Coach Steve Snrekar and
his crew still have an excellent OPP
portunity ahead of them to put them
selves well up in the percentage column
before competition ends.
The boys swimming team is next in
line, having won one meet, tied another
and lost two. Five meets are on the
schedule for the new year.
Under the guidance of new coach,
Edmond M. Haapaniemi, the paddlers
turned in an upset over Eveleth, tied
Chisholm and lost to Virginia and
Hibbing, perennial state champions.
The college has failed to score a win
in conference competition, but defeated
Northland in a non-league contest.
Games were dropped to Eveleth and
Virginia, and to Itasca by points.
After slow start, Coach Barney
Banks club appears to have found it
self, and can look forward to getting
into the win column in a big way in
the nine games that remain on the
schedule.
The girls swimming team has had
but one workout that with the state
championship Virginia paddlers to
whom they lost. Four meets are on the
ticket for 1910.
Athletics have enjoyed quite a re-
vival at Ely SO far during present COM
petition, and from all appearances the
fans intend to follow the teams in a
big way. Several crowds of around a
thousand spectators have turned out
for basketball games, and even standing

Four Husky Brothers

One usually thinks of pioneers as
lean, muscular men who made long
tricks over rough trails without firing.
Many of them were of that type, but
occasionally some heavyweights turned
up. George Ruble and his brother,
John, who laid out the town of Albert
Lea in 1856, are said have weighed
285 and 301 pounds, respectively, ac-
cording to material found by the Min
nesota Writers Project. Two other Of
the four Ruble brothers were Wiscon-
sin pioneers. The combined weight Of
the brothers was 1,157 pounds.

Spent Holiday With Dog Train

Present day Minnesotans, who go to
visit New York or Los Angeles for the
holidays on streamlined trains, are
sometimes apt to forget that travel was
not always so easy. Norman Kittson,
for whom the county is named, spent
the holidays of 1852 enroute from Penn
bina to st. Paul with a dog train, &C
cording to the Minnesota Writers Pro-
ject. Kittson's eight husky dogs were
days, and been able to drag heavy loads
regularly 40 to 70 miles per day over
the trails without fatigue.

Times Were Tough

Though frontier life was far from
easy, early Minnesotans did not let il

story found by research workers OF

residents of the long since abandoned
town of Old GAINESVILLE, Waseca County.
had nothing to eat but bullheads and
milk during the hard times Of 1868.
People would go down to the bridge
and catch two or three hundred bull
heads in a single evening, said N. D.
Hoover, an old settler, to whom the
story is credited. I'm Fact" he said,
"they ate so many bullheads they got
so they could not get their shirts off on
account of the horns sticking through"

Farm Foods Valuable

There are no foods that furnish
more vitamins than the ones pro-
duced on farms, such as milk, eggs
and vegetables. Eggs furnish min
eral, and the egg yolk furnishes a

large quantity of iron, but only one

is available to human consumption.

A New Year Blaze

The dry early winter of 1889 recalls
that of another year. A report pub
lished on New Years day, 1862, states
that the weather was dry enough in
west central Minnesota for fires to
rage through the tall prairie grass
abundant in that part of the stae.
The fires had started before Christmas
and were still burning New Years Day
when they had advanced to within two
miles of Fort Ridbely, according to the
story found by research workers.

The Glass Wanted

What kind of men were wanted in
a growing frontier state? The class Of
people we want now in this state is
the farmer; the man who is willing TO
take off his coat, roll up his sleeves and
go to work." said the Minneapolis Trib-
une in 1868, according to research
workers. Our broad acres Of as good
soil as there is upon Gods footstool,
call imploringly for you to come, and
by the mere touch Of your magic wand
make the wilderness to bloom and
blossom as the rose" the paper added.
