Price county is not handicapped by
lack of railroads, it is now penetrated
by some Of the most prominent rail
roads Of Wisconsin, the 500 and Wis
consin Central, and numerous other
roads are under construction.
When Wisconsin was admitted as a
territory, in the year 1886, it was di-
vided into two counties, Brown and
Crawford. That part of it now defined
as Price county was then part of Craw-
ford county. In 1916 Crawford county
was divided and from it's territory
Chippewa county was formed. In 1874,
townships IS to 40, inclusive, of ranges
2 and east were detached from Chip
pewa county and made part of the
New Lincoln county. ~, 4
Price county was organized by am act
of the state Legislature Of Chippewa
and Lincoln. Twenty -one from the
former and fourteen from the latter.
The first county officers were appointed
by the governor. The first general cleo
ton was held i'm Price county in the
fall Of 1880. The act organizing this
county divided the territory into two
towns, Barron and Worcester. The
former embraced the ten townships IN
the south end Of the county mad the
latter the remaining twenty-five town:

Farmers association exhibit car left its
home counties week ago today, and
has since been treated to baptism Of
rain. Nevertheless it has "done bust

visitors were concerned. It was de-
cided, in beginning this second annual
tour, to make a few stops in the coun-
ties south Of the lake shore counties.
There was an enthusiastic reception at
every point.
At Spooner the people visited the car
until late at night, and here Mrs. Ham

In spite of the rain there were many
visitors at Shell Lake during the fore
noon spent there. No northern Wiscon-
sin town has a more beautiful location
than this lively village. It's lake is a
gem and the town has most slightly
setting upon it's shores. Shell Lake has
said good-by to the sawmill and is now
being surrounded by fine farms.
We had all day Sunday at Cumber-

good location and the car was soon con-
nected with local electricity. The rain
prevented many visitors, but those who
came seemed much pleased. Cumber-

Special Correspondence
Ashland, Wis, Oct. 23.-''Back to
the timbered land" is the trend Of the
land movement of today The sudden
realization of the possibilities and val
lie of cut-over lands for farming pur-
poses recalls the fact, not generally
known, that most of the fertile farm
ing land now held at such high prices
in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michi-
gan was once covered with q heavy
growth of timber. 1t was cleared at
an early day by hardy settlers, who
got little or nothing for the timber,
using it wastefully for frewood and
letting most of it rot. What they were
after was the land, and they found it
amply repaid all their labors. The set
tiers who pushed west across the Mis-
sisippi went first into the timbered
land along the streams and made clear
3ngs, preferring to. work hard for land
that they knew was good, and distrust-
ing the value of the prairie soil for
farms. Later settlers found that most
of the prairie was also fertile and re-
paid cultivation, and as it was compa-
ratively easy to break and crop, the
rush for the prairie set in. 1t has gone
on until the good prairie land has been
taken up, and even wild land is held
at comparatively high prices. The tim
bered lands, especially those which car.
ried growths of pine, have been neglect
ed Of late years, and have been much
lower in price than prairie land.
