WASHINGTON ISLAND.

All the early citizens of Kenosha
city and county were once familiar
with Washington island; it was a
prominent point of interest, and al
most every one knew something of it's
history. This once much talked-of
island has in years past been seldom
mentioned, and recollections of the
early adventures who gave it notoriety
have grown dim. Much has been
written and published-some for the
State Historical Society many years
ago; but these accounts are but seldom
if ever consulted by the people in this
vicinity. Not content to let the men,
DRY of the island to become forgotten,
few fragments of it's history are
snatched from the ever-approaching
wave Of forgetfulness.
Washington island is that portion of
land in the city limits. consisting of
about thirty acres of land, north of the
harbor, bounded on the east by Lake
Michigan and encircled on the west
and north by deep channel of water,
except on the north it IS separated
from the lake by sand bar. Who
was the first white man that brought
Washington island into notice is tradi.
tional. 1t is more generally believed
that Hon. William Bullen was the first
to lay claim to it in June, 1885. In
July following Samuel Resigue and
Jos. Noble came on an exploring tour
along the lake shore from Chicago, and
finding no marks that the island had
been claimed were so pleased with the
beauty of it's location they at once
marked off claim covering the south
half of the island. In it's primitive
state Washington island was paradise
of beauty. In the summer months a
delicate turf of grass clothed the
ground: wild flowers of different va
rieties perfumed the air, and the shade
afforded by the groves of small trees
was inviting to quiet retreat. The
land being sandy. the thin turf of
grass, when trampled on by horses and
cattle, despoiled the island of much of
its primitive beauty. The early settlers
of the county no doubt have vivid
recollection of the scenery of the island
in state of nature.
Rev. Jason Lathrop, on board of a
schooner in 1884, engaged in exploring
the western shore of Lake Michigan
to find the outlet of Pike River, which
had been impeffectly laid down on the
maps, writes in his journal that when
opposite Washington island on the lake
sailor shouted, "An orchard ahead.'
This illus0ry orchard was the grove of
young trees which at distance had
almost an exact resemblance of a
thrifty orchard. These resemblances
of orchards were noticed by early set
tiers in various parts of the west. The
real estate on the island prior to the
government land sale, which occurred
in 1899, was regarded the most, valu-

The statement went the rounds Of
such Democratic papers, a few weeks

able, that Cleveland has entirely given

The Democrat, German newspaper in

and cites evidence to prove there is no
truth in the story that Cleveland has
taken to such temperance nonsense.

Mills, who carried his tariff bill
through the House Of Representatives,
consoles the manufacturers as follows
"The American manufacturers should
have free field and an open fight; If
they can produce a product cheaper
than any other people they will capture
the market" That is equivalent to
saying, if the manufacturers would keep
their place in the market they must re
duce the wages of their working men
to the standard in England. What

Here is a hint to young men about to

learned by observation that a physicians

face painted to look like an old man,
and wore gray wig. And he made
about $4,000 francs year. But people
got to wonder at his longevity. He lived
