him to Madison to attend meeting
of the state capitol commission. He
had reached crossing west of the
city going at high rate of speed,
when the passenger train suddenly
shot into sight. Mr.. Ingram applied
his brakes, but it seemed almost
impossible that the big automobile
could escape crashing into the ap-
preaching locomotive. Engineer
Wood saw the machine, and by use
of the emergency brakes slowed up
sufficient to allow the automobile to
pass before his train. It barely es-
capped the pilot of the locomotive.
Woods quick action probably saved
the lives of the entire party. With
Mr.. Ingram in the automobile were
Mrs. Ingram, Mrs. Coffin, wife of
the president of the National Bank
OF Eau Claire; Miss Ruth HAYES
and Mrs. Frizzell, wife of Rev. DR..
Frizzell of Sioux City.

Hon. Frank Avery has received
from Judge E. Ray Stevens notice
of his reappointment as chairman

Mr.. Avery has already served in
that capacity for nine years, or
ever since the commission was

has been a good man in that

In Montreal the dead are not
buried during the winter on account
of the deep SHOWS and intense cold.
The departed are placed in vaults
and laid in their eternal resting

there were 400 newly made graves

No Signs.
There is one thing that the Cana
dians have not done which has been
practiced in Sauk county to the de-
triment of our scenery. No signs
or big advertisements mar the
beauty of the scenery along the St.
Lawrence or other attractive places
in Canada. In recent months the
practice has been discouraged in
this county and some of the signs
obliterated with paint. Every sign
around Devils Lake and on the
beautiful bluffs should give place
to the attractiveness which nature
has placed there.
Montreal Churches.
In Montreal, as in Quebec, the
visitor whose stay is limited is tempt
ed to ''do" churches to the neglect
of other objects of interest. This
is said not because the churches are
not worthy of close study, but be-
cause they are so worthy of it as to
become fascinating and to make
the tourist forget almost every
thing else. In Quebec the visitor
who is interested in art could, with
profit, spend days in the Basilica
and the Chapel of Laval Seminary,
and in the quaint little church of
Notre Dame des Victories, the place
of worship most frequented by mar
liners, he will find votive offerings in

EDITORS BARABoo News. GENTLE,
MEN:-In my efforts individually and
as chairman of the local State Park
Committee to preserve the Devils
Lake region, have met with some
very surprising opinions. One man
said to me he did not likeit because
the "Elks we're going to put in a
pair of elks." He went on to ex-
plain how many years ago a man
was killed by an elk which had
jumped out of a small twelve-foot-
high enclosure. In my opinion if
the park is established and the
pair of elks are installed, that per-
son would indeed be fortunate who
ever caught a glimpse of one, yet
we want everybody satisfied and to
that end I agree to use what little
influence [ may have at command
to see to it that none except de-
horned animals, guaranteed to be
perfectly gentle, are allowed ad-
mittance.
Many have asked me, quite SER
iously, it the state would lay out
cement walks and flower beds. Per-
sonally [ am inclined to think it
will not, yet rather than to dis
appoint anybody will agree, if I
am ever favored by the opportunity,
to bring the matter up for consider
alton. In the meantime if there is
any one who may leave fancy de-
signs to offer in flower beds the
same will be thankfully received
and submitted.
Altho some members of our COM
mittee have received many en-
couragements and some coutri-
buttons (tor both of which let me
express, as chairman, my sincere
thanks) there appears to be some
lack of understanding to the uses
to which the money is to be put.
In further explanation of what has
already appeared in the Republic
and Democrat, let me say that the
governors commission composed of
State Forester Griffith and Rev. f.
A. Hutchins and the local commit
tee above referred to, have deemed
it advisable, in furtherance of the
project to establish the park, to
advertise the project and thereby
gain for it as much favorable ad-
vocacy as possible. By securing
influence throughout the state it is
hoped to make possible the passage
of the contemplated appropriation

to do anything that we can to help
along the movement.
John T. Revell, vice-president of
Alexander FL. Revell & Co. of Chi
cago says: l tried to work this
thing up fifteen years ago, but the
people of Wisconsin at that time
seemed to be asleep. I ana delight
ed to know that they have awaken
ed 10 the fact that Wisconsin con-
tains one of the most beautiful
spots in the world. You will find
not only Chicagoans, but people of
all the western states interested in
the accomplishment of this worthy
object.

Will do what can to push the pro-
ject suggested in your letter.
Editor Goodman, Portage: I
am in favor of the state setting
aside such a region as this as we'll

will do all I can to further both
locations for state parks.

bill. Among other methods which
are now being pursued it has been
deemed advisable to have a concise
yet complete statement of the en-
tire project gotten outin illustrated
pamphlet form.
It will also be required to have
the appropriation bill include
tangible statement of what lands it
is proposed to include, their pro-
bl BILE cost, etc, etc. To accomplish
this it has been deemed advisable, by
both the commission and the local
committee, to secure options, all of
which will require some five or six
hundred dollars to defraY the ex-
penses of.
Some few have doubted the will
ingness of the people of the state
to advocate the parking of local
region. To arouse interest and
advocacy throughout the state is
the very object of our efforts.
Judging from many conversations
and reports from various sources
and from personal letters, l believe
| am justified in saying that COM
paratively there already exists more
enthusiasm for the project through
out the country than in our own
locality.
Very truly,

churches of Montreal, though not
so rich in art treasures as those OF
Quebec, are equally interesting.
The immense Church of Notre Dame
is simply fascinating. The chapel
of this church, the Chapel of the
Sacred Heart, is in itself a big
church. These churches and St.

these churches prevent him from
