Rock river from MELVILLE to Lake

camping ground FOR summer outing par

and dry, are dotted with tents, and

landing to the outlet at Koshkonong.
Fishing is good, bathing pools are nu-
merous and all the little necessaries u.s.
ually furnished by nature to make COM
plete the happiness and comfort of the
camper out are to be found along the
river The territory between the ancient
village of MELVILLE and Koshkonong's

All aboard! These are the words
that are buzzing in the ear of the man
from Rockdale, said prominent citizen
of that village while here this week.
And unless all signs fail Edgerton and
Rockdale will be connected by rail with
in year from this date. The route Sc
lected will be from Cambridge to Evans
vile and the connection Of these two
points will undoubtedly be made by the
Northwestern company. A boom is on
at Rockdale in consequence and it is said
that the entire population are working
overtime at sharpening stakes to be used
in the survey of the proposed road and
in plotting additions to the village. Pub
lie spirited ones who own acreage prop
erty there are devising the most exped.
lent way of donating portion of their
holdings for parks and municipal bnild-
ing purposes. A railroad would certain
ly be the means of causing Rockdale to
be built into one of the most fourishing
cities of southern Wisconsin.
