in Washington, D.C.
to promote ethanol
Gary Eischeid, General Manager of POET
Biorefning Gowrie, traveled to Washington,
D.C. September 14-17 to meet with Congres-
sional offcials and highlighted the important
role ethanol plays in reducing our dependence
on foreign oil and revitalizing the American
economy.
Eischeid joined Growth Energy leaders,
including CEO Tom Buis and Co-Chairman of
the Board General Wesley Clark (Ret.), for a
series of meetings on Capitol Hill. Discussion
focused on the current state of the industry and
stressed the importance of protecting the Re-
newable Fuel Standard (RFS).
The intent of the Renewable Fuel Stan-
dard is to give consumers more choice at the
gas pump and to put renewable fuels on a level-
playing feld with the oil industry. Any move-
ment away from this intent is not what consum-
ers are looking for and it will chill investment
in cellulosic ethanol and advanced biofuels de-
velopment, said Eischeid. I appreciated the

It doesnt seem like a year since I visited
Boxholm to celebrate the towns 100th anni-

it will have been 101 years. From a very reli-
able source I learned that the town was platted
in April of 1900 but it took 13 years to actu-
ally be incorporated and offcial. Undoubt-
edly there were settlers and homesteaders in the
area prior to a towns developing. Such it was in
those early days of our country, our state. I had
mentioned before that the surrounding area was
one of the last in the state to attract agriculture
and settlers because so much was swamp land
that had to be drained and tiled to keep it from
reverting to swampland. Most of the readers are
still aware of the peat felds around that pond
up (even with tiling) when there are a chain of
heavy rains and cloudbursts and the need every
so often of re-tiling.
With the people moving in, many Swed-
ish immigrants, there was a need and opportu-
nity for various tradesmen and entrepreneurs,
many of whom were also Swedish. While farm-
ers could and would be raising a lot of their own
food, both meat and vegetables and preserving
for consumption through the year, there was al-
ways the need of four, sugar, coffee (of course,
they were Swedes) and other staples, splurg-
ing on some spices and maybe a small bag of
hard candy for the kids. So stores sprang up.
They would be using gear for their horses so
a need for harness retail and repair. The hors-
es would need shoeing and wagons and plows
fxed sometimes beyond the farmers expertise
so a blacksmith shop was needed. On the side,
the one who repaired the harness could also
re-sole boots and shoes didnt need new ones
if that task would suffce. Eventually there had
to be a place for the farmer to sell his crops and
thus granary operations came into being before
elevators. They probably also sold seed to fll
in when the farmer hadnt gleaned enough from
his own crop .No hybrids then. People would
be coming into town (before it was offcial
even) so someone built a hotel. Those people
may need a place to fnd nourishment and oth-
ers in area might need a meal (or a cold beer?)
so another establishment came. Eventually a
hardware store and lumber yard were needed.
Did Boxholm have a livery stable? Most small
towns often did. Soon there were more and more
businesses to serve both townspeople and farm-
ers. The railroad had come through so this was
an ideal place to put the little community called
Boxholm which was named for a hometown in
Sweden. In fact, before the settlement was ac-
tually platted in 1900 and almost a decade and
a half prior to the incorporation of Boxholm
the old depot was built in 1899. The frst
railroad was called the Newton-Northwestern.
Ft. Dodge- Des Moines & Southern electrifed
line came after that. It served well, especially
during the war years when gasoline and other
fuel was limited. The farmers could still bring
in their crops to the elevators and get them to
market and others, myself included, had inex-
pensive transportation to Fort Dodge or Boone
when we needed clothing and other things not
available in the small town.
` Now that depot is gone, having been
razed in 1976. It had been serving the commu-
nity a long time. The only station agent I ever
knew was Leonard Gelder. The depot had sat
empty for a long time after the railroad ceased
operation and thus by the time it was razed,
there was little salvageable lumber. It would
have made a good auxiliary museum had it been
in better condition and/or not so expensive to
restore. The past fades away for everything.
It is not a Swedeland anymore but a melt-
ing pot, with very few direct descendants of
the original immigrant settlers but they are a
proud bunch and strive to keep alive at least
a memory. The businesses have faded away,
buildings torn down and/or abandoned waiting
their turn. Churches population has dwindled
with decrease in town and surrounding popula-
tion, due to larger farms, smaller average fam-
ily sizes, access to better, easier transportation
and just the march of time. The school district
has combined and merged and combined to the
place where our old building appears to be on
the brink of its Waterloo. Will it someday
go the way of the depot, old, dilapidated, rot-
ting away where not much will be salvageable?
I know it wont be in my time but --- perhaps
your great or great grandchildrens.
Nonetheless, HAPPY 101st birthday,
Boxholm. Perpaps some of your townsfolk will
meet at the community building or restaurant
over some coffee or??? and remember times
past. Have one for me coffee (decaf) that is!
Happy Birthday Boxholm
