The outlook for Shelton was never
better than it is at present. While
better times have been with us, they
were but temporary, but the prospect
Tor a substantial future, that. once
here, will be ever with us, was never
SO good. Both railroad companies
are now on a substantial basis and in
profitable operation. A large logging
concern on the tram road system has
began operations just across the bay,
and new logging camps are going in
on both our railroads. Shelton is sur
rounded by a lot of first class farming
land in the valleys, and the acres Of
trees and brush are fast giving way to
the axe and yielding produce. Fruits,
ooth large and small, are being extern
sively planted, and the yield is practi-
douoiing every year. Hay, potatoes,
and other crops enough for home de-
mand and stock are factors that bring
In more or less money, and the pro-
duct Is rapidly increasing. Regard

4 Lost Prairie Bear Hunt,

One day last week, ID. whitehall and
the writer took trip to Lost prairie,
looking for game. Early next morn
ing we started out and had hardly got
two hundred yards from camp when
the dogs scented bear Looking
across the burn I got glimpse of it
and cut loose. Away went the bear
with the dogs yelling at her heels.
She ran into the thick frs on the edge
of the burn and bayed 1 went in
and gave her another shot for luck.
At the flash of the gun she turned
and came slashing right for me. /
got ten shots out of my gun quicker
than | ever did before, but they did
not stop her, she grabbed me by the
wrist with her mouth and with
sweep with her paw sent the gun
spinning out of my hands. 1 tore
my hand loose and made two or three
jumps; Don and Jid had her by the
hams and she turned her attention to
them. Securing my gun shot her
in the head and settled her. Taking
off her hide / returned to camp. After
bathing my hand, which was badly
swollen, took the dogs and went for
more bear, and did not 60 far before
| met whitehall, so we proceeded
together. On going along a high
ridge we saw a big black bear walk
out on a green fiat. He was out of
gun shot so whitehall held the dogs,
and | made sneak on him. Within
about two hundred yards I got on a
log and shot him. His hide had
splendid fur nr this time of the year
That evening / went out to see how
our horses were getting along, and
ran into another bear, but did not
have my gun with me.

The e worth League convention,
which was held at Tacoma last week,
made the request" that the bible be
read in the public schools. Resolu-
tions demanding this, and asking that
the matter be submitted to the people
for constitutional amendment, were
promptly voted down in the conven-
ton, showing the liberal spirit which
prevailed. While it is true that every
influence for good and every restraint
should be thrown around the young
children in their school days, that
they may get the proper start and be-
come good and useful citizens; it is
better and more satisfactory that this
work should be done by the teacher.
Politeness, respect. duty, morality and
temperance in all things can be taught
by precept and example, and are as
essential to the proper education as
the "three RS" The present school
system is very good, when proper
teachers are employed. Religion, how
ever, should be taught in the home,
and in the church and sunday-schooI.
We have people of all religions, as we'll
as those OF no religion or creed; of all
nationalities. The public school is
free to all and the people will see that
1T is kept SO. In this age no expense
is spared to provide the public school,
whether III the city or remote country
districts, with every facility for in
struction, and even the dulla,d must
progress. The free, non-sectarian pub
lie school is what the people want, and
every child of school age, regardless of
creed or social condition, should at
tend. Many of the sectarian schools
and colleges afford superficial educa-
ton, and leave the pupils in poor con-
dition for the battle of life-from
which so few are exempt.

Robert Maiben was born in Perth,
Scotland, May 81, 1922; and died May
4, 1896.
He came to America in 1913 and
located in the town of Liberty, Grant
county. Wis, where he has since re-
sided. He married Mary Benner,
April Is, 1851, who still survives him.
He also leaves behind to mourn his
loss. one son and FIVE daughters.
The family have all reached the age
of maturity and are following in the
footsteps of their father and are not
like those who mourn without hope.
Mr., Maiben was a member of the
p M. church of Liberty He was
converted about nineteen wears ago
and has ever since lived a consistent
Christian life. He was well .yersed
in the Bible which is characteristic
of the Scotch as a people; and having
a knowledge of the Word of God, he
lead spiritual life, not only the form
but the power of Goodness also His
life and conversation said plainly:
This is not my abiding place For
he looked for city which hath foun-
dations whose builder and maker is
God" His last illness was of short
duration; little did his family think
that the end was so near. As his
wife and family stood around the
dying bed, he witnessed to the fact
that God was with him and his last
words were, 1.-The Lord doeth all
things we'll" The funeral took place
Tuesday, May 9TH. After a short
prayer the procession started from
the house and proceeded to the Ger
man Evangelical church of Liberty,
where appropriate service was held.
Rev. Croft delivered a discourse on
the text found in Isaiah 3, 10. '.Say
We to the righteous it shall be well
with him " The many friends and
relatives were then allowed to take
the last look at the departed. The re-
mains were then Inferred in the ceme-
terry adjoining the church. There
was laid away a loving husband, a
kin dfather and a christian man.

Ward T. Rice died at his home in
Cassville, May 3rd. of cancer of the
stomach. Deceased was born in
Cold Rain, New York, May "a, 1920.
He was married to Abigail Joyner in
1S4S and moved to Wisconsin in 1858,

Six years ago they moved to town.
Mr. Rice was a loving and indulgent
husband and father, and gave freely
to church and charitable purposes.
All that medical skill could do was
brought to bear. Beside the attend

county physicians and DR.. Staples of
Dubuque.
Death came very quietly and loving
friends followed all that was mortal
of deceased to the Baptist church,
where the service was conducted by
Rev. Evans, thence to the cemetery
on the hill. Two daughters, Mrs. S

II. H. Giles Dead.

Hon. H. III. Giles, one of the pion-
GERS of the state, and known to many
people of Grant county as a member
of the State Board of Charaties and
Reform died at his home in Madison,
Wis. last Friday morning May TO-
Mr.. Giles settled in Wisconsin in
1914 and has been resident of this
commonwealth nearly ever since He
was member of the State Board of
Charities and Reform from 1870 to
1890 and was recognized throughout
the nation as an authority on matters
pertaining to the insane. The State
Journal says of him:
Mr.. Giles was honored by his state.
He sat in both branches of the legisla-
ture and was presiding officer of the
senate just before the war. He was
in the internal revenue service under
Gen. David Atwood; but it was in
connection with Charities and Cor
rectionn that Mr.. Giles will long be
remembered For twenty years to
speak of the old Board of Charities
and Reform" was to think of Hiram
Giles travelling from one institution
to another. The County System"
of the care of the insane is his monu-
ment 1t is not in accord with the
theorists--this celonizing of these un-
fortunates in groups to ba cared for
by mere farmers; but Giles theory
was that only hopeless cases should
thus be treated; the groups should be
small, and they should have abund
ance of outdoor life and real work to
divest them. The plan stands the
test of time. Repeatedly have educa-
ted experts come from the east to rid
icule this simple. economical system
fathered by '.Uncle Hiram" only to
throw aside their fine-spun theories
and attest its wisdom.
