Within the last twelve months Bloody Run has undergone a great change. The land titles have been investigated and adjusted; the floating population of the west has begun to settle there; mills have been built. A young city is rearing itself in the valley, and will yet surpass its neighbor (McGregor) in population and trade, as it does now in its natural advantages.
When I left Bloody Run to go up to Lockwood's mill on the Menominee in 1836 or '37, great speculative excitement existed. Land companies No. 1 and 2 were formed and great improvements and proj- ects were commenced. At Prairie du Chien and Cassville towns were laid out, hotels built and real estate was held at enormous prices. It was designed to make Cassville the capital of Michigan territory but men's practice always falls short of their theory-the hard times came on and the much talked-of project was abandoned; land depreciated and a general stagnation of business ensued. Among the organiza- tions of the times was a wild-cat banking institution entitled, "Prairie du Chien Ferry Company." This company issued its shinplasters at Prairie du Chien, some of which I have, and they bear the signatures of G. Washington Pine, president, and H. W. Savage, cashier. This pioneer bank, however, had to succumb to the pressure, and adopted the "suspend payment" system, which suspension has lasted to the present day.
