ready response and surplus sugar
was soon making happy thousands
of Gals throughout the nation.

gracious reminder to cheer that
dear relative or friend far and
near. special greetings for Sweet
est Day are the answer.

FOLDING MONEY

In the very early days the area
from which Minnesota was deriv-
ed had no money or currency with
a definite and accepted standard
Of value.
The money in the days of the
fur trade was the skin of the
beaver. II was symbolic of value.
II was accepted as money across
the nation and down the st. Law
renee. The business on the Great
Lakes was done with this kind Of
folding money.
Beaver were common and easily
trapped. The fur of the prime
beaver was known as the plus"
An average skin would weigh up
from a pound and a half to two
pounds. One beaver was equal to
the skin Of bear and three mar
tens.
The price of a key of rum was
thirty beaver. An early trader on
Lake Superior paid ten thousand
beaver for four canoes filled with
goods. Another hired his men at
l6o beaver for the season. Corn
was ten beaver a bushel. In terms
Of the gold currency, found in the
larger centers, a beaver was worth
about two dollars.
When an Indian bought a rife
he paid pile Of beaver skins as
high as the gun was long.

Politics must have infected the
early practitioners. Doctor Thorn
as Potts came to st. Paul in 1s49.
He pracuced for a quarter century
and he was also the first mayor of
the town.
After the establishment of the
territory in 1s49 doctors came to
the state and went to outlying
communities. There were enough
of them in the state to organize
the Medical Society of Minnesota
in 1855. 1t had thirteen officers
and members of its standing COM
mittees. Doctor Potts was its first
president and Doctor Day looked
after the treasury. The Society
had a committee Of censors, which
evidently had some duties on the
frontier.

COUNTY BUSINESS

In the early days public bus
mess in Minnesota was conduct
ed upon an informal basis. Take,
for example, Sherburne county.
This county was created in 1856.
Joseph Browns house in Big Lake
township might well have been
considered the county seat. The
commissioners met there for sew
eral years. For one meeting in
January the board arrived to find
its county seat in ashes. The board
organized on little knoll between
Big and Grass lakes but soon
found that the cold weather made
II necessary to adjourn to the Put
nam home.
The judicial affairs of the coun-
~ were conducted until 1852 at
Sank Rapids. They were then
moved 10 the Brown home. Each
county official had his office at
his own home and those who bust
ness with several officers made
their way from residence TO resi-
dence. Orono, now part Of Elk
River, was the seat of county
business for some time. Then Elk
River became the seat Of justice.
The first meeting here was at the
Niekerson home in 1867 and IT was
1877 before the county had q
frame building TO house its Of
fees and court room.
