  • Along the Mississippi from Rice Lake to Boom Lake
    Along the Mississippi from Rice Lake to Boom Lake by Ann M. Nelson August 9, 2018 Introduction Throughout the early days of Brainerd, the Mississippi river served as the highway for the millions and millions of logs driven to the sawmills of Minneapolis prior to the establishment of large sawmills on the river in Brainerd. The river acted as a storage area for the logs that were to remain in the city to be milled in its sawmills. Steamboats plied the river carrying equipment and other supplies to the logging camps of the northern woods as well as providing pleasure excursions for the citizens of Brainerd before the dam was completed in 1888. Much of the water used in homes and businesses was provided by the river until 1920 when the city completed the water tower and the system of wells which finally provided clean, uncontaminated water to Brainerd citizens. Over the years, numerous bridges were built over the Mississippi at Brainerd, ferries carried passengers across the river; parks, as well as sawmills, breweries and hospitals were located along its banks. Even Evergreen Cemetery is located near the river. For years, property within the city of Brainerd located near the river was considered the most undesirable and this is where the “red light” district was located. Steamboats The early steamers on the Mississippi burned wood and were used mostly to haul men and supplies to the lumber camps that dotted the shores of the river. Although not as profitable, steamboat owners also operated excursions and hauled farm produce from and supplies to the few farms that had been established near the river.

Wilson (previously produced as Cedargrove Series #52/2019 – May 2019) *********************** EIC HISTORY AND ARCHIVES *********************** © EIC 2019 PO Box 40140, Ottawa ON K1V 0W8 +1 (613) 400-1786 / [email protected] / http://www.eic-ici.ca THE CEDARGROVE SERIES OF DISCOURSES, MEMOIRS AND ESSAYS #52/2019 150 YEARS OF CANADIAN ENGINEERING: TIMELINES FOR EVENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS by Andrew H. Wilson May 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. Some of its material has also been presented orally. This paper covers briefly and selectively Canadian engineering events and achievements in four time periods: one up to the time of Confederation in 1867, and three others between then and 2017. Associated with the three later periods are corresponding economic/political/social timelines to help put the engineering in context. There are no comments in it on the quality of the design, construction/manufacture, origins and uses of the items listed. This paper took a whole lot longer than expected to research and write, so that it carries a date in 2019 rather than late in 2017, when the chronological material in it ends. There are no maps or photographs.

Attorney General of Canada Page 2 Introduction [1] The E&N Railway (the “Railway”) on Vancouver Island runs from Victoria to Courtenay, with a branch line from Parksville to Port Alberni and a spur from the main line in Nanaimo to a rail yard and barge loading facility. The Railway, now owned and operated by the defendant Island Corridor Foundation (“ICF”), transects 1.3 km of the plaintiff First Nation’s reserve lands in Nanoose. This strip of land (the “Lands”) is subject to a right of way in favour of ICF (the “ROW”). [2] At issue is whether the Lands remain alienated from the plaintiff and subject to the ROW given the Railway infrastructure has deteriorated and rail service has been discontinued except for freight traffic on the Nanaimo spur line. [3] The plaintiff seeks: a) A declaration that the lands subject to the ROW revert to the administration and control of Canada for the use and benefit of Snaw- Naw-As as a part of the Snaw-Naw-As reserve upon the cessation of railway operations; b) In the alternative, a declaration that the lands subject to the ROW revert to the administration and control of Canada in trust for Snaw-Naw-As upon the cessation of railway operations.
