Fam addres: fHIS PAPER REPREJENTLD Ful( rUREIGH - ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFIC &NCW YORK AND C ARANCHES (3 B(1 THE POINCIPAT CHTE The: Gopher State. Many readers of the Pioneer who learned years ago the meaning of the ‘name “Minnesota,” and why it was - appropriated, also many other his- toric facts concerning the state, but which have slipped from their mem- ory, will be interested in the fol- Inwing: Minnesota is named from the river which crosses the southern part of the state in an easterly direction. The name is of Indian origin and signifies “sky-colored (cloudy or hazy) water.” Explorations in the region now constituting Minnesota were made by the French as early as 1659-60, when Groseilliers and Radisson vis- ited the Mille Lacs Region. In 1686 Nical’ Perrot took formal possession “of the country in the name of the king of France. Although fur trad- ers had been in the Minnesota region for more than a century, the first permanent settlement appears to have been that made near Iort Snelling in 1826 by Swiss refugees from Lord Selkirk’s colony at Pembina, now in North. Dakota. The fort itself, at first called Fort St. Anthony, had been established in 1819. In 1762 the French west of the Mississippi, as Louisiana, were ceded to Spain, in 1800 Louisiana w: receded to France, and in 1802 it was purchased by the United States. The French possessions east of the Mississippi were ceded to England in 1763, and at the close of the Revolution all of the present area of Minnesota lying northeast of the Mississippi became a part of the United States. The section of the Minnesota coun- try included in the Louisiana Pur- chase belonged successively district of Louisiana, organized in 1804, to Louisiana Territory, organ- ized in 1805 and to tory, organized in 1812. In 1834 it was added to Michigan territory, in 1836 it was made a part of Wiscon- sin territory, and in 1838 it was in- cluded in the territory of Iowa. That " part of Minnesota northeast of the Mississippi was embraced within the possessions then known Northwest Territory from the organi- zation of that territory in 1787 until 1800, when it was made a part of the territory of Indian: In 1809 it to -the!

The Cast of Smflke 4 A cloud of black smoke hovering over a city signifies industry. It also sig nifies estravagance. A lack of care in the using of fuel is doubly expen sive, for the damage it causes costs the city ‘many bundreds of thousands of dollars and wastes for the city an even Breater amount of money.. Chicago, for instance, has an:actual annual damage bill of approximately $40,000,000. Cincinnati pays $100_a year for every family within its mu nicipal limits. The cleaning of clothes and buildings and the cost of wash ing, repainting and repapering are the chief items in this expense. But the greatest expense is the expense which comes from the reckless waste of the valuable byproducts of the coal. One of the chief elements.of the re markable conmuercial success of Ger many is due to the fact that in the fa therland 85 per cent of the byproducts of the burning coal are utilized in many different ways How many pounds of these very same byproducts go out of the chim neys of our great manufacturing cit ies every year can never be estimated. But the facts are that we utilize 20 per cent of the products as compared with Germany's 85 per cent. Extravagance seems to have had its day with the people of America. Econ omy is now in order, and one of the first and most apparent economies is that to be effected by a more careful supervision of the use of fuel.—Town Development Magazine. A Live City. The Industrial Association of Keo- kuk, Ia, has purchased an industrial tract, laid it out, decided upon a plant for the city, won a freight rate case, installed n lighting system and started to work on the improvement of. the river front.
