Union. One OF the important ef-
fecta OF the weather was In the
races and nationalities OF the
people who migrated to the
North star State.

GREAT DISCOVERY

Henry X. Schoolcraft In credit

source Of the MisaiSsippi In 1882.
II In conceded that men OF the
early day probably knew Of the
source OF the Father OF Waters.
The early fur trader knew that
once In they could not find an
other way out Of the lake later
known as Itasca.
In 1904 one William Morrison
came TO the real source Of the big
river. But he did not give the
world an account Of his expedi-
ton and discovery until 1859.
schooIcraft set out 10 find the
source, he was well equipped with
helpers and witnesses and he gave
the world an account OF his A.
chievsment aa soon as II could be
written and printed. Historians
agree that he deserves the credit
for his find.
Bchoolcraft was accompanied
on this expedition by three In
teresting men. One was Douglass
Houghton, who was Of outatand-

THE TIE LOADER

The Minnesota frontier was
marked by many kinds Of hard
and heavy work requiring strong
backs. firm hands and willing
spirit
The backs that carried In the
food and materials Of early days
became tired. There was much
hard physical effort required In
breaking the prairie sod, clearing
land of timber and stumps, de-
veloping mines and building rail-
roads and highways.
Among the old timers. there
IL an opinion that the railroad tie
was symbolic OF about the hard
est work ever done In Minnesota.

the railroads. Thousands of miles
Of railroad constructed in Mime
sofa and the prairie states were
built Of Minnesota oak. birch or
tamarack. The task OF laying the
original ties was hardly completed
when requirements were needed.
The work OF cutting ties in the
woods was hard. Most ties Of the
earlier days were hewed with a
broadaxe which might weigh from
eight to fourteen pounds.
Loading ties for shipment was
probably the hardest and heaviest
work ever done in Minnesota A

The pioneers OF Minnesota had
many. many troubles. but they
also had a friend In the govern
ment of the state.
In 1871 there were great prairie
and forest fires In Minnesota.
They followed on the destruction
by great hail storms. Many died
In the flames OF their early
homes.
The Minnesota legislature was
generous for It's day and re-
sources. Twenty thousand dollars
was given for grain seed 10 help
restore the stoned and burned
fields.
The winter Of is72-73 was prob
ably the worst In the history Of
Minnesota, On January 7, 3 and
0, the state endured what was
then called an arctic cyclone"
Seventy lives were lost and 81
lost arms or legs, The legislature
voted five thousand dollars 10
help the victims Of the great big
gard.
In 1879 the graAshoppsr years
began. In 1874 the legislature
voted five thousand dollars for
general relief and 20 thousand for
seed grain.
The next year the graAshoppers
ate nearly everything In sight and
the legislative session Of 1875 vot-
ed $40. 900 for general relief and
$4,000 for seed. Those OF the
state who had anything left also
contributed.
The graAnhoppcr ncourge lasted
through 1877 Again funds were
voted for relief and seed. A hun
dred thousand dollars was voted
AZ a bounty TO hopper killers and
egg daatroyerH. Mono OF this
money was ever expended.
