BITS OF MINNESOTA'S HISTORY
,TORICAL SOCIETY
GROWTH OF POWER

Those who are interested in
tools and their contributions to
Civilization learned much from
recent exhibition at the Mime
sofa Historical Society. A notable
display, gathered from the great
museums of the United States and
foreign lands, showed the develop
ment of human tools, as far back
at man has record of his skill.
There was a chisel and a drill
estimated to be 10000 years old.
Then came other exhibits, age by
age, and century by century and
down to recent times.
An especially interesting table
was that which showed the growth
of mechanical power in the last
hundred years, a period which
happens to coincide with the life
or organized government in Min
nesota and the development Of the
state.
In 1850, % per cent of the en-
ergy which men used came from
the human back. Fifty one per
cent came from the horse, and in
the new North Star State. in large
part. from the OK which was the
predominant source of animal
power during the first generation
of statehood, Twenty six per cent
of mans power came from mech
anical devices.
In 1850, in the Minnesota of to-
day, only four per cent of the
power men use comes from human
| hands and backs. An OK is a curio-
sity and the horse may now pro-
vide but two percent of the power
generated and applied to the work
of the state. Ninety-four percent
OF the power which Minnesota to-
day uses is from mechanical
sources.
Many people of the state saw
the exhibit OF tools at the Society
building in st. Paul. The newly
dedicated weyerhseuser room was
filled to its capacity on both
afternoon lectures and displays
This was a feature presented by
the Historical Society. The ex'
hibit was presented by the Wilkie
Foundation.

A BIG DINNER

The Rainy Lake gold rush was
one Of Minnesota's great events of
the 1905. Hundreds of men went
TO the boundary waters in search
of gold. Prospects were alluring.
In fact. some said that there was
so much gold on the border that
this rare metal would lose its val
ue.
Rainy Lake City was an excited
town for several years. II reached
the zenith Of its career in 1897
just at the time when prospects on
the Rainy were petering out and
new strikes had been made in the
Klondike.
Thanksgiving Day Of 1897 was
marked by a dinner at the Lake
Shore House. That day the gold
seekers and the people Of the COM
munity lived high on native foods.
The starting course was moose
tail soup. There were spiced blue
berries, filet Of sturgeon. planked
whitefish. praised caribou liver,
wild goose. venison. fricsseed part
ridge. wild duck salad. blackberry
dumplings and spruce gum.
There was no mention Of caviar
although the border waters were
producing the sturgeon that had

thousands Of pounds TO make this
srtisocrstic introduction to a fes-
tive occasion.

PREPARED BY MIN
THE FIRST EXHIBIT

The territory of Minnesota had
been hardly well formed when TIE
first effort To advertise the area
and its possibilities to the rest of
world was made.
In 1853 there was a great expo
sition in New York City. This was
the Crystal Palace. The pioneers
and promoters of the new terri
tory heard of il and William Le-
Due was given a grant of $500 to
prepare an exhibit and take il to
the Palace.
LeDuc went to the few farms
and secured some samples of
grain. He went to the traders and
obtained some outstanding furs.
He purchased a birch bark canoe
and some wild rice. On his travels
a frontier Frenchman suggested
that he should get buffalo bull to
attract attention. LeDuc thought
this suggestion was jest until
there came into st. Paul on a
boat from the west young buff
falo BUN of great promise. His fur
was sleek and heavy. His DISPOSE
ton was not too good His poten-
tial as an attraction was obvious
ly great. A ring was put in his
nose to which a hoe handle to lead
him was attached. Whenever he
appeared on the street, horses ran
away. He was loaded at night on
the steamer, Ben Franklin. and
shifted to another boat, with all
its complications, Mt Galena. At
ST. Louis the bull went on the
Ohio and he was, by various means
and with much concern. finally put
on exhibit at the Crystal Palace,
As an attraction he proved that
the frontier F'renchman was in
stinctively right.
LeDuc had 10 return to Mime
sofa. So he sold the buffalo bull 70
an intinerant Snowman with pay
ments TO be made weekly How
ever. the greatly relieved LeDuc
never heard again of his charge or
from its new master.

THE TOWNS CHANGE

In 1856 there were 2i0 postof-
fees in Minnesota, These were
regularly organized offices each
with its duly appointed postmast-
er.
A check of the list of offices in
1856 and in 1884 shows that in
this hundred year period more
than half OF the older postoffices
have disappeared. OF the 2io listed
in 1856 only 90 remain to this day.
the rest have gone with changing
times.
The elements which have reduc-
ed the number of postoffices may
have been. in part, the normal
changes which come with years
of consolidation. Many represent
the towns where ghosts took over
after ambitious promoters and
citizens had moved on.
Among the postotfices which
have disappeared are Arcadia in
Stearns county, Athens in Dakota,
Burr Oak Springs in Goodhue,
Cannon City in Rice. Eureka in
Nicollet, Falls OF the 81. Louis in
ST. Louis and Iossa In Steele,
Many OF the postmssters were
men prominent in their day. JOS
eph Rolette. for example, was
postmaster at Pembins where he
served a great area within 1856
