"During the twenty-eight years this bank has been under the state hanking lows it has had only two presidents: T. A. Black, who served from 1883 to 1890, and E. W. Davies. who has been president since that time. O. P. Miller was the vice president during the twenty-

The second banking institution founded" in Pipestone was the Bank of South- western Minnesota, which opened its doors July 21, 1885. It was a private institu- tion and its proprietors were two Eng- lishmen, Charles Mylius and W. G. Stoner. In order to comply with a new law, which prohibited carrying on a private banking business under a corporate name, on July 1. 1887, the bank's name was changed to Stoner & Mylius, Bankers. The firm was dissolved October 25, 1888, and there- after for a few months the business was conducted under the name of Charles Mylius & Co. The early home of the bank was Commerce block, but in 1888 the bank took up its quarters in the Calu- met hotel block. Ten years later a home of its own was built on Olive street.

The institution was reorganized as the First National Bank of Pipestone on March 1. 1889, with the following officers and directors : Charles Mylius, president : C. J. Cawley, vice president: H. E. Briggs, cashier: W. G. Martine, A. S. Dver. II. E. French and R. W. Ashton. Mr. Mylius retired from the presidency in March, 1893, and was sueceeded by C. J. Cawley. W. C. Briggs became president in 1898. The bank has a capital stock of $50,000.

The Farmers and Merchants Bank was the third banking institution founded in the village. Its doors were opened Decem- ber 15, 1897. The officers of the bank, all of whom were from Brooklyn, Towa, were as follows: O. F. Dorrance, president : W. W. Reed, vice president : W. J. Smith, cashier. A few years later H. H. Reed became president : J. T. Scott, vice presi- dent : and W. J. Smith, cashier. The bank

five years of life under the old charter. There have been five cashiers during the entire his- tory of the state bank. namely, A. H. Mer- win, E. W. Davies. F. L. Janes. F. E. Pear- son and T. E. Nash.

went out of business in March. 1905, be- ing merged into the Security Bank.

The Security Bank was established as a private business enterprise in March, 1900, by R. W. Ashton and G. H. Gurley with a capital stock of $25.000. It was con- ducled as a private bank until 1909, when it was incorporated. The directors are G. H. Gurley, A. D. Gurley and R. W. Ashton. The bank has quarters in the Calumet hotel building.

Another institution that has developed considerable proportions is the Sweet Township Farmers Mutual Fire Insur- ance company, which was organized in the spring of 1888, the first policy be- ing issued June 13 of that year. There were twenty-five members at the time of founding, who carried only $25,000 in- surance. The first officers were Duncan Stuart, president ; F. M. Payne, score- tary ; E. A. Rice, treasurer.

CHAPTER XXVI.

JASPER AND EDGERTON.

A LTHOUGH it is one of the young- er towns of Pipestone county. Jasper has had a rapid and substantial growth and is the second largest municipality in the county. Its population in 1910 was 404. The town is very beautifully situated on the gently sloping side of one of the elevations so numerous in this part of the country. It is on the Great North- ern railroad and is the terminus of a branch of the Rock Island road. It is also located on Split Rock river, a small but picturesque stream. Jasper is fif. Icen miles southwest of Pipestone and in the extreme southwestern corner of Pipe- stone county, a small part of the village being in Rock county.

Unlike most of the villages of south- western Minnesota, Jasper does not de- pend solely upon the surrounding agricul- tural country for its support. Here are lo- caled the famous jasper stone quarries. which produce excellent building and pav- ing stone. Several quarries are located in and adjoining the city, which are oper- ated the entire year and give employment to large forces of workmen. Nearly all the business blocks are built of native stone, giving the little city a prosperous and substantial appearance.

From the very earliest days the people

residing in southwestern Pipestone and northwestern Rock counties, being long distances from market, had anxiously awaited the coming of a railroad and the founding of a town, but while railroads had been built in all other parts of both Pipestone and Rock counties, none came to the rich territory which so badly needed improved shipping facilities and a trad- ing point. While Jasper was not founded until 1888, events which tended to that re- sult occurred some time before. So carly as the spring of 1886 surveyors in the em- ploy of the Willmar & Sioux Falls Railroad company, which at that time was more or less a myth, ran a line in the vicinity. but not until the next spring was there probability that a road would be built and a town founded. The first mention I find in the public prints of a probable town in the Jasper country was in The Rock County Herald of March 25, 1887, when a correspondent from Beaver Creek wrote: "The new railroad survey through the northern portion of the county is at- tracting considerable attention, and the prospects for a thriving town in that lo- cality are very promising."

In the fall of 188? the grade for the Wilhnar & Sioux Falls railroad through the southwestern part of Pipestone county was made, and then came rumors of the

347

founding of a town where later Jasper was built.1 Early the next spring eame the certainty that the new railroad wouldl be built later in the year. and steps were taken to found the town in advance of the coming of the road. Several Pipestone capitalists purchased a large tract of land. in the vicinity, including the future townsite and the stone deposits, and made arrangements to open a quarry and found a town, which was to be appropriately called Jasper.2

For the promotion of the several enter- prises the Jasper Improvement company was incorporated with a capital stock of $100,000 by the following named persons : J. M. Poorbaugh, who became the presi- dent: T. A. Black. secretary; E. W. Davies, treasurer : J. M. Spicer, E. A. Sherman and P. F. Poorbaugh.3 On April 19, 1888, Alfred S. Tee. the Pipestone county surveyor. surveyed the townsite on section 32. Eden township. and on May t the dedication was made by T. A. Black and J. M. Poorbaugh. The site was divided into twelve blocks, sep- araled by First. Wall. Second, Fourth and

""The grading of the proposed Duluth [Will- mar & Sioux Falls} road through Rose Dell town- ship is nearly completed and it is reported that reasonable assurances have been received hy parties in that section that a station will be located near the north line of Rose Dell town- ship. two and one-half miles cast of the Dako- ta line."-Rock County Herald. October 28, 1887.

"The station question in Rose Dell is not settled yet, but there are hig indications of it being on section 6."-Correspondence in Herald, December 9. 1887.

""Poorbaugh Bros. made a contract last week with Mr. Brodie, of Dell Rapids, to put two hun- dred men right away in their quarries between here and Sioux Falls. The contract further stipulates, we understand. that not less than three hundred car loads of stone shall be ship- bed during the year. We learn also that a town will be started at once with general mer- chandise stores, a bank and a newspaper. This is to be a station on the Willmar & Sioux Falls road and with the stone interests men- tioned will have a pretty good beginning. The name of the new town is to be .Jasper."-Pipe- stone County Star. April 13, 188S.

3The incorporation was not perfected until May 21, 1888. According to the incorporation moers: "The general business of said corpo- ration shall be as follows: The quarrying of stone and other mineral substances, preparing for market and marketing the same, the buying. owning, improving. selling and dealing in lands. tenements, hereditaments, and for the

Sixth streets. running north and south. and by Spicer, Sherman, Burr and Rail- road avenues, east and west.4

In the meantime other interests were at work to bring about the founding of the town on Rock county soil. On April 25 Surveyor Tee surveyed a forty aere tract on the farm of George Carnegie, on section 6, Rose Dell township, for Messrs. Carnegie & Vickerman, which was first known as Carnegie but later as West Jas- per.5 The Rock County Herald of April 20. 1888, said of the rival sites:

Considerable excitement prevails in the northwest part of the county over the loca- tion of a proposed new station in that sec- tion on the line of the Willmar & Sioux Falls road. A townsite called Carnegie has been laid out on section 6, Rose Dell town- ship, and another, christened Jasper, has been platted just over the county line on section 32, Eden. The respective interests of the two ambitious embryo towns are represented by rival forces and a lively contest is in progress. It is reported that there were about two hundred people on the grounds last Sunday [April 15.]

For a time there was more or less ri- valry between the two towns which ad- joined. but practically all the business

doing of anything necessary or requisite in car- rying on such business. The principal place of business and the office of said corporation shall he located at Jasper, Pipestone county, Min- nesota."

For several years there was a cloud on the title to the Jasper townsite. In 1889 H. Elofson brought an action against Norman F. Phillips and J. M. Poorbaugh before the gov- ernment land office for the possession of the site. The decision of the Marshall land office was in favor of the latter. but the case Was anpealed and was not settled until April 1894. Then Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith rendered a final decision against the claimant. and the title was at last clear.

Additions to the Jasper townsite have been platted as follows:

Stilson's, by Jasper Improvement company and Simon F. Stilson. July 19, 1888. Prospect. by Jasper Improvement company, May 4. 1889.

Sherman's. by Jasper Improvement company. November 30. 1589.

Christian Aslesen bought an interest in the townsite a few weeks later. and it was he who placed the plat on record January S. 1889 The original plat consisted of twenty-one blocks, divided by Rosedelle. Washington. Lincoln, Main and Prosneet avenues, running north and south. and by First, Third, Fifth and Seventh streets, east and west. Rose Dell addition to Jasper, on the Rock county side, was platted by the Jasper Improvement company February 15, 1890.

houses were erected on the Pipestone county side in Jasper proper.

There was no delay in founding the town after its płatting. The Jasper Im- provement company was composed of pro- gressive men and they at once put into execution their plans for improving the townsite.6 During the month of May the first buildings were put under way, and on May 1? the first business house in Jasper was opened- a general merchan- dise store by Christianson & Berdahl." During June and July there was great ac- tivity, and by the last of July there were in operation the following business hous- es :8 General store by Christianson & Ber- dahl, hotel by P. F. Poorbaugh, drug store by Robert Scarf, hardware stores by Smith Bros. and Carnegie Bros., grocery store by L. H. Gilbertson, the Jasper Journal by S. S. King, meat market by Frank Ap- feld, harness shop by I. L. Bratager and the postoffice in charge of S. S. King.3 Other enterprises in process of starting were general merchandise stores by Her- berg Bros., Thomas Ganfield and Lom- men & Rask, livery barn by P. F. Poor- baugh, roller mills, two blacksmith shops and carpenter shops. All this had been accomplished in two months, for on June 1 there was not a completed building on the townsite. Most of the lumber and stocks of goods were hauled from Pipestone, and during the whole summer the roads were lined with teams hauling goods to the new

"The Pipestone County Star of April 27, 1888. said: "On Friday morning last, in company with T. A. Black, ye editor drove down to the townsite of Jasper, sixteen miles southwest of Pipestone, on the Willmar & Sioux Falls road. Surveyor Tee with a corps of men was busy when we got there laying out lots and streets. Lumber will soon be on the ground for a building in which will he placed a news- paper outfit, and the first number, we are told, of the Jasper Record will be published in a few weeks. A fine hotel will be started at once and several store buildings. The site is a very pretty one for a town, and having the favor of the railroad company, will undoubtedly grow considerable this year. The place is provided with the best of spring water in abundant quan- tities. The stone quarries, upon which the prosperity of the town is principally based. are certainly all that have been claimed for them,

town. The first birth in the village oc- eurred August 29, 1888. The child thus honored was given the name Leon Jasper Bratager.

Jasper continued to grow rapidly, and when the Willmar & Sioux Falls (now the Great Northern) railroad reached the town on October 5. there were twenty-five business and residence buildings. The first passenger coach was run to Jasper Oc- tober 21, and on November 1 regular train service was established. A depot was erected in November. For several weeks before the coming of the road build- ing operations were at a standstill, but when material began to come by rail there was a resumption, and building operations were continued until late in the season. At the elose of the year 1888 there were many lines of business in operation, and the seven-months-old village had a population of about 200 people. The building improvements during the first seven months of its existence amounted to $42,500 and were as follows:

Farmin & Miller, Jasper hotel and furniture .. $6000

Northwestern Elevator Co., elevator and coal sheds .. 5000

and when once in full operation will be a source of large profit to the owners."

""Twelve years ago yesterday Christianson & Berdahl opened their stock of general merchan- dise in Jasper. At that time there was not a business building erected in the village, and those gentlemen commenced business in Mr. Christianson's dwelling house. The firm re- mained in this location while a store building was being erected."-Jasper Journal, May 18. 1900.

BAs reported by the Jasper Journal, July 27. 1888.

"Mr. King was postmaster from July, 1888, to November. 1893, and was succeeded by W. H Storts, who served until November, 1897. Mr. King was again commissioned at that time and has since held the office.

The growth continned during the spring of 1889, and when a census was taken early in March there were found to be 235 people living in the territory which it was proposed to incorporate as the vil- lage of Jasper : of this number 188 were in Pipestone county and 44 in Rock coun- ly. The petition asking for incorporation was signed by nearly every voter in the village.1º The territory which it was asked to have incorporated included both Jas- per and West Jasper, 1280 acres being in Pipestone county and 800 in Rock.

board of county commissioners of Pipe- stone county took favorable action and named May 9. 1889, as the date for hold- ing a special election to vote on the ques- tion, appointing P. F. Poorbaugh, D.
