THE RIVER BOATS
Sketches Of Minnesota 5 History :. =. Prept
Historical Society

While the covered wagon may
be symbolic OF the early settle
ment Of Minnesota. the greatest
element in early progress were the
waters of the state. These includ-
ed the Mississippi, which brought
people to the head of navigation
of that great river. They included
the Minnesota which took new
people to new lands. They would
also include all of the rivers and
the lakes where, with dugout,
canoe and rowboat, men found
and developed their homes
In the decade before statehood
the only way to get to Minnesota
was by river. Roads overland had
not been cut out through prairies
and woods. Men had to take to
the water.
In 1874 there were Al arrivals
OF river boats at st. Paul. In 1850
there were 104. In 1856 there were
s37 arrivals at the docks at st.
Paul. AS the years went on not
only the number OF arrivals in
creased. but the boats were larger
and were always crowded to their
limits with goods and people
Navigation usually closed in late
November and from then on to
April Minnesota had to live on the
goods transported in the summer
season.
A report for 1856 indicates that
no less than seventy boats were
operating on the upper river.
There were 212 arrivals at St
Paul fom st. Louis from Galena
and lS6 from Dubuque.
In 1856 ten boats were operating
on the Minnesota river. They
were credited with 2i6 arrivals at
ST. Paul.

AN EARLY FATHER

The name of Sherman Hall
ought to be given special recog-
milton. He was the father of the
first white child born in the whole
Lake Superior area Of northern
Minnesota and Wisconsin. The son
was born on July 8, 1888, while
the father was a missionary at La
Pointe.
Sherman Hall was born in Yer
mont in the year 1900. He gradu-
ated from Dartmouth and And
over Theological Seminary. He
came early to La Pointe. on the
south shore of Lake Superior, and
remained there % years. He then
went to the Chippewa agency at
Crow Wing.
Rev. Hall is credited by many
students as being the creator of
the English conception of the
Chippewa language. He translated
the New Testament, publishing it
in 1s43 and revising 1t in 1856. He
wrote a grammar and a hymn
book After he had risen to his
greatest usefulness as a mission
are. the schools at Crow Wing
were removed to Gull Lake and
there was change in the denom-
national control. Mr.. Hall became
pastor of the Congregational
church at Sank Rapids, then an
important outpost on the Mississ-
sippi:
In addition to his ministry.
Sherman Hall served at Judge OF
probate and superintendent of
schools in Benton county. All told,
he served as a missionary and a
minister for more than 4S years.
His end was tragic. He fell from
wagon and died from his injur-
les in August 1879.

Raincoat Shopper
Can lie arm Much
By Reading Label

Read the label when buying rain
coats says Edna Callahan, extern
sion clothing specialist at Ohio
State University. Fiber, care, fin
ish, and style are important in
raincoat selection. The label tells
about three of these.
Discussing what the label tells,
Miss Callahan says there are two
types of raincoats ts-water-proof or
water repellent. Water repellent
coats can be worn for rain or
shine, while waterproof coats are
for rain only.
Coats marked water repellent
resist moisture for average wear
but will not withstand long expos
ure to rain. Any fiber can be treat
ed with water repellent finishes.
Finishes used in water repellent
coats are permanent and non-per-
manent. A permanent repellent fin
ish is not lifetime treatment but
does withstand repeated cleaning.
1t must be retreated by the manu-
facturer when the finish comes out.
A non-permanent finish must be
added everytime the coat is wash
ed or sent to the cleaners Be sure
to read the label to determine
what fipich yuac uco5
Waterproof coats are made of
sheet plastic or rubber sheeting
that may or may not have fabric
backing. They resist moisture re-
gardless of the times they are ex-
posed to rain.
When buying waterproof coats
be sure that seams are sealed, that
rubber or plastic covers the
threads used in sewing seams to-
gether, and that ventilation is pro-
vided Air holes for ventilation are
usually found under the arm.
Waterproof coats without some
means of ventilation are too warm
IOr COMFORT.
Care is important in waterproof
coats. They should be dried at
room temperature and not by di-
rect heat or sunlight. Hang them
by the neck strap-not on a coat
hanger.
Style of the coat should be at
tractive but give full protection. 1t
should be large enough to wear a
suit or coat comfortably under it.
Close fitting cuffs at the wrist keep
rain out when carrying packages.
Fasteners should be secure. dur
able, and extend the full length of
the garment These along with a
style to compliment your figure
gives a satisfactory garment.

Strip Miners Are
Making Up For
Ruined Acreage

Strip mine land, once consid-
cred ruined by the big shovels.
in recovering coal, clay, limestone
and other minerals for industrial,
agricultural and domestic purposes
in Ohio, is now proving to be
widely useful. In the southeastern
area of the state where the gla-
ciers of ages past did not reach,
the shovels are breaking up the
hard rock stratas lying just be-
meath the surface and are bringing
up new materials needed for plant
growth, as the glaciers did in the
rest of the state. Graded to a
gently rolling topography by the
operators after removal of the
mineral, the land is then seeded
or planted. Suited primarily to
pasture or timber growing, they
are also producing fruits, berries
and miscellaneous crops, as well
as fish and wildlife in the lakes
and reclaimed areas.
This spring over four thousand
acres of strip mine land is being
seeded to pastures or planted to
trees by the Ohio Reclamation
Association, an organization of
strip mine coal operators. Over
twenty tons of legume and grass
seed, enough to fill room with
an eight foot ceiling ten feet
wide and twenty-five feet long
is being sown, mostly by hand,
on some two thousand acres of

it controls water weeds. That US
ually increases the catch.
Fertilizing has some drawbacks
too, Davis adds. It may cause pond
scum, reduce duck and fnuskrat
food and cause an oxygen short
age. Once started, it must be con-
tinued, too.
For farmers who want to try
pond fertilization, Davis suggests
they apply 100 pounds of 10-10-10
or 1864 fertilizer per acre. II

color in water due to millions OF
microscopic plants. When a farmer
can stick his arm in the pond up TO
his elbow and still see his fingers.
it's time to refertilize the pond ac-
cording to Davis.
Most ponds are not adequately
harvested. Unless fish are harvest
ed, ponds soon become over pop
ulated One bluegill can lay 25,00O
eggs a season. 1t takes 500 man
hours of fishing to properly harv-
est the 50 to 200 pounds of fish an
acre pond yields.
Davis's formula for good farm
ponds is: Build it right, stock only
recommended fish, manage it wise
ly, and fish it hard" Fishing isn't
hard work and plenty of volunteer
help is usually available on invi-
tation, he says.

Farm Ponds Make
Fish Pastures

A farm pond is fish pasture,
says Robert K. Davis, Ohio State
University extension wildlife con-
servationist. Like any farm pas
ture, it requires management
program that provides balance of
food plants and animals.
Ponds require good design, pro-
per fish food, and right kinds of
fish along with good management.
These factors add up to good fish
ing, Davis says.
Stocking the farm pond is prob
lem. He recommends 100 predator
fish such as large mouth bass, and
100 forage fish such as bluegills
per acre in Ohio farm ponds. Far
mers can get these fish without
cost from the Fish and Wildlife
Service, 1908 Lake Street, Mime
aPolis, Minnesota.
Fertilizing some ponds increases
growth and production of fish, and

trees purchased from nurseries
here in Ohio and from as far as

on another two thousand acres
of strip land before the planting
