people had already organized the town
Of Lincoln in Wood county and had
three school districts with comfortable
school houses. They were fifty miles
away from the county seat and almost
as far from any other neighbOrS.
though they had reasonably fair roads
to NeillSyille in the opposite direction.
Such was the beginning of the de-
velopment of that section of the Wis
cOnsin pinery, such the beginning Of
MarShtield only tWenty-SiX years ago,
a town which has become a thriving
manufacturing city. a junction point
OF three railroads. and a city which
has given to the state Of Wisconsin
one Of its latter day governors. The
country round about is now filled with
fertile farms and is paying the rail-
road companies richly fol the trust it
inspired in the days when they began
to stretch their iron arms to grasp it.
What is true of this immediate section
is more or less true Of the whole
northern part of the state which has
been developed by the railroads since
that time.
Though the Wisconsin river valley
was without railroads long after the
war, yet it had reached a surprising
degree of development. Its men were

These Are Found in Alaska.

Wilbur Ward, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Phil Ward Of Grand Rapids, who now
holds a remunerative position in the
