as the district of Illinois. The name
illinois was derived from Illini,
confederation of Indian tribes. In
1720, Fort Chartres and three new
villages were established by the
French, and the entire district was
put under military commandant.
BY the treaty of Paris in 1853, Illi-
nois was ceded to the English, but
they couldn't take possession until
they made treaty with Chief Pom
tiac two years later. Then Illinois
became a part of Quebec province
in 1774. 1t was not until 1888 that
it was formally ceded to the United
States, and then largely because an
expedition of Virginians under Gen.
George Rogers Clark resulted in
virtual conquest of the region. Vir-
ginia, Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut all held claims to Illinois at one
time, but finally ceded their inter-
ests to the United States, and the
region became part of the North
west Territory.
The midland journal., 1946-04-12

From 1900 to 1909, however, the
state we know as Illinois was
part of Indiana territory! 1t was
then organized as the territory of
/ Illinois, the seat of government be-
ing at Kaskaskia. The first territori-
al legislature convened in 1872, and
Illinois was admitted to the Union
in 1918. Shadrach Bond was the first
governor. 1A- Va-Soa u
Serious Indian troubles beset
those who ventured early into Illi-
nois. The Sacs and Foxes were
eventually moved across the Missis-
sippi river in 1928, and Black Hawk
was defeated in 1882. Settlement
then proceeded rapidly.
Chicago, the states greatest city
and second in size of all American
cities, was almost left out of Illi-
nois. When Illinois became full
fledged state, strip Of land 81
miles wide was added to the north
ern boundary Of the original terri
torial limits. Today this strip Of
land, with its Lake Michigan shore
line, contains SIS per cent of the
states population-and Chicago!
A lot has happened in Illinois.
Joseph Smith, the founder of the
Mormon church, was killed at
Nauvoo in 1874. The Illinois and
Michigan canal was built in 1848,
and the Illinois Central railroad was
constructed from 1850 to 1855. In
1848, the state barred slavery, and
there followed the historic debates
of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A.
Douglas. Illinois sent ,214,133 SOL
diers into the field during the Civil
war. In 1871 occurred the great Chi
cago fire, and the railroad and Hay
market riots took place soon after.
Chicago was host to the Worlds
Columbian exposition in 1893, and
to the Century of Progress exposi-
tion in 1933-34. And there was, of
course, the gang warfare Of prohibi-
ton days!

Hickok, the western sheriff, was
born south of Mendoza. Ulysses S.
Grant was an Illinois cobbler when
the Civil war broke out. At Starved

enemies. Headed by the Harpe
brothers, an outlaw gang used
Cave in Rock on the Ohio river as

Elements in the state, Shawnee
town, was recently moved in its
entirety to higher ground to escape
flood waters. Vandalia was once the
capital of the state, before Spring
field was selected. Indian mounds,
built baskeful by basketful Of
earth, carried by man, may be seen
at Cahokia.
The list grows long. All happened
in Illinois, where Abraham Lincoln
split rails, kept store, and wooed
Ann Rutledge.
With an elevation of 267 feet at
Cairo and 1,241 at Charles Mound,
Illinois is covered for the most part
with deep layer Of glacial drift,
but in the river bottoms are depos-
its of alluvial silt, forming a rich
loam of unusual fertility. It is
land of corn and grain, fat livestock
and fine homes. In the south part
of the state, known as Egypt" is
an extension of the Ozarks, with
fruit orchards, coal mines, scenic
grandeur. There's 10 Daviess
county in the northwestern part
with beautiful Apple River canyon.
Everywhere in Illinois are land
marks hallowed by the name Of
Abraham Lincoln.
A lot of things have happened in
Illinois enough, in fact, to make
| it one of the great livestock, dairy
ing. farming, mining, oil-producing
and industrial states of the Union,
nor does it lack in the development
of education, science, literature and
art. 1t is truly a great state. It's
people made it that way.
