When his father, Macajah Will
Jams, was in the Legislature of Ohio,
the governor and the legislators as
well desired to provide some means
to otransport freight from the interi-
or of Ohio to Lake Erie on the north
and the Ohio river on the south.
Major Williams father was made
chairman of the legislative commit
tee to provide the way and means
and in reading over the old letters
much correspondence was found
concerning the work. The canals
were built and during this time the
senior served ten years on the board
Of canal commissioners.
Afterwards M lj)r Villa ms father
was appointed surveyor general of
the northwest territory bv Presi-
dent Jackson and Byron KiIbourn
was one OF the surveyors.
Much of the correspondence pre-
served by Mr.. Williams pertained
to the public work in the states of
Wisconsin and Ohio. That portion
of the letters which deal with Ohio
events go TO the state historical
library at Columbus and the re-
mainder to the state historical
library at Madison.
These letters are of great value
at the present time although they
were written less than century
ago. All such documents should be
preserved for the rich store they
contain. One of the letters of great
est interest to the major was one
addressed to his father and which
came from Governor Ethan Allen
Brown of Ohio, congratulating him
on the arrival of a foe son.
Major Viii Jams is now at t'enni-
more on a visit
These objects may be seen at the
library at Baraboo.

Billy Money Dead.

Billy Money, a Winnebago Indian,
died a short time ago near Ableman,
and like oil good Indians, went to
the happy hunting grounds of his
fathers. He neglected, however,
to take with him about $25 worth
of traps and other trinkets, which
made his estate appear valuable
enough to require an administrator.
Therefore, Cloudy Canoe, on ap-
plication, has been appointed ad-
ministrator of his estate, by Judge
Kelsey. This is the first case on
record where an Indian admins
traitor has served in this county.
Shows that the red man purposes
keeping up with his white brother
in such matters.

That Old Structure Will Be
Replaced.

Philip L. Spooner Of Madison has
notified y United States Engineer W.
Y. Judson of his intention, subject
to approval of the war department,
to reconstruct the wooden crib dam
on the Wisconsin river near Kill
bourn. The dam will be built OF

have capacity of 5000 horsepower
The mayor of Kilbourn and 123
citizens in and about the city have
stgued a petition favoring the re-
construction of the dam without
locks, and the Kilbourn people also
have withdrawn their objections to
the closed bridge at Portage, which
is being erected to replace the
wooden structure blown down last
summer.
The present dam at Kilbourn was
erected in 1895 and partially des-
royed by foods ofl896. Norepairs
have since been made on it.
The purpose of Mr.. Spooner is to
employ the water power of the dam
to generate electricity to light the
city of Portage and to sell power to
manufacturing plants at Kilbourn

tween Kilbourn and Portage.

Letters of Great Value at the

seven today. Looking back to 1918
is long time but the major has
withstood all of the experience of a
very active life remarkably well.
Recently he has been reading
some very old family letters that
they might find place of safe keep
ing in the state historical societies
of Wisconsin and Ohio. The letters
were among his fathers papers and
go back to the first quarter of the

n Z LICS
Presented to the Sauk County
Historical Society.

The following objects have been
given OF loaned to the Sauk County
Historical society since the last re-
port:
Mayor e. G. Marriott gives very
fine flint spear head found On the
farm of Aaron Teel in the town OF
Fairfield in 1851. It is a very choice
specimen.
F. 3. Clark of Baraboo, presents
some bones found at depth of 135
feet while drilling in the town of
Freedom some years ago. He also
obtained some pieces of wood from
the same hole but at depth of $50
feet. These are very interesting
objects and must be relics of the
glacial epoch in this region.
Mrs. L. Helm of the town of
Greenfield, loans a very old map Of
Sauk county which has seen better
days. The map is of much value
-the-less as one can see what
changes have taken place in the
years since it was issued. The map
was issued by W. Fl. Garfield. The
society would be glad to receive
other old maps of the county or of
cities and villages.
L. Fl. Palmer of the town of
Greenfield loans two stone axes and
the one is of special interest as it is
very crude. The material in the
axes is gabbro.
Ray Palmer contributes 80 flint
chips from an old village site on the
farm of T.. Ell. Palmer east of Bara-
boo. There are many evidences
that Indians once had a village
there and no doubt a workshop for
making flint implements, The chips
were found in two separate heaps.
FL. H. Hewlett of the town of
Baraboo donates an olG work on
the act of fairierv. The book was
published in 1915 and is dcubly in-
teresting TO those who follow the
same business at the present time.
Ed. c. Perkins of Prairie du Sac,
gives The bones and silver bracelet
dug up short time ago by J. P.
Weller at Sauk City, full account
of which appeared in this paper a
short time since. There was another
bracelet on the skeleton at the time
of discovery and the society would
be very glad to receive this one
also. While lying about Mr.. Weilier's
shop it disappeared and cannot now
be located.
The most valuable gift at this
time is an Indian cache which is
presented by Mr.. Perkins of Prairie
du Sac. A cache is something
secreted by the Indians and in this
case was twenty one partly finished
arrow heads of flint. The Indians
would hide lot of these and then
use them in trading. This cache
was found by Sophia Meyers on the
Tinkham farm west of Ba1aboo
about five years ago while digging
potatoes. The cache was about
twentY rods south of Jackson South
ar's residence. These finds are rare
aud any one knowing of others dis
covered in the county will confer a
great favor by communicating with
A. B. Stout Of Baraboo, or The
News Office.
