View of the main road going through Pelan which was located in Kittson County. The large three story building was the Robert's Halfway House, next to Halfway House is the State Bank of Pelan. Pelan was a half way stop for people on the stagecoach run. The town looked forward to the arrival of the railroad; and when that didn't materialize the residents moved away and the town became a ghost town by the 1930s. This photograph was taken about 1900.

Published on February 1, 1907, this cartoon portrays a Japanese-American child, labeled "Little Jap in San Francisco" and carrying on his back a large bundle with the words "Cause of war with the United States" on it. Within the bundle is a rolled-up treaty. The boy tips his cap to a Japanese military officer. The published cartoon is captioned "Another Case of Child Labor: Isn't Japan overworking the Japanese schoolboy of San Francisco a little?"

The United States enforced the provisions of its treaty with Japan giving to Japanese immigrants equal access to public education.
