Petersen Nathan Weaver Olson The Foster House, 100 North First Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 With curriculum program by Dawn Peterson Ann Ericson May 2003 Expansion of the Waterpower Canal (1885) and Rebuilding of Tailrace Canals (1887-1892) The Construction of the Expanded Waterpower Canal and Rebuilding of the Tailrace Canals By the mid-1880s, the increasing number of mills and the demand for waterpower was jeopardizing the availability of that power, particularly as the height and flow of the Mississippi fluctuated from season to season. In 1883, the Minneapolis Mill Company hired William de la Barre as an engineer and agent for the waterpower works. A number of the mills had installed auxiliary steam engines to supplement the waterpower. Meanwhile De la Barre proposed to solve the waterpower problem by increasing the head and fall available. Working on the West Side canal (Minnesota Historical Society) According to Kane, “De la Barre undertook to deepen the canal and lower the tailraces under his jurisdiction, while the millers promised to lower their wheel pits, tailraces, and headraces. Before the year ended, De la Barre had deepened the canal from 14 to 20 feet and lengthened it from 600 to 950 feet. The expansion increased its flowage capacity from 30 to 40 per cent and raised the water level to produce more power by bring water to the lessees’ wheels at a greater head. -

Petersen Nathan Weaver Olson The Foster House, 100 North First Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 With curriculum program by Dawn Peterson Ann Ericson May 2003 West Side Waterpower Canal Era (1857-1858) The Construction of the West Side Waterpower Canal When construction began on the West Side Waterpower Canal in 1857, Minneapolis, on the west bank of the Mississippi River, had been legally opened to settlement only two years earlier. The village of Saint Anthony on the east bank was a separate entity. While Charles Christmas, under the aegis of John Stevens, had laid out the streets of the new village, only about one hundred buildings had been constructed, and these were scattered close to the riverfront. By 1857 the population was calculated at 2,000, an increase of 1,800 in two years.1 Saint Anthony Falls as seen by the early settlers (Minnesota Historical Society) The leaders of the new municipality knew that future prosperity lay in harnessing the power of Saint Anthony Falls. The most expeditious way to do that was to dig a canal adjacent to the falls on the west bank, divert some of the water from the river and the falls to the canal, then run the water from the canal through turbines connected to main line shafts that could power the adjacent Cataract Flour Mill and nearby sawmills. -
