"In the fall of 1866 there were only three horse teams in the town; these were 
owned by B. GALE, Henry ERB, and James M. ALLEN. Very ordinary cows were held 
as high as $60 and $70, and these were brought over from Milwaukee. Good butter 
was a thing almost unknown. Potatoes of poor, mixed varieties, were sold at 
prices from $1.25 upwards, according to the mercy of the producer, and the 
depth of the buyer's purse. The potato bugs had not then arrived on this shore. 
Flour sold at from $16 to $18 per barrel; pork $22 and $24 per barrel, and 
groceries in proportion.
