scene was just as great on the way
back as it was coming down, be-

enough in front to gaze upon. On
our way up saw fragment of rock
detach itself from an oyerhanging
cliff and fall something like 300 feet.
When it struck there was puff of
white powder and it was reduced to
atoms. Several times during our
trip we heard little thuds echo up
the canyon that were caused by fall
ing rocks. People that live near
say that often the silence of night is
broken by some tremendous frag-
ment crashing from terrace to ter
race with shocks like a thunder
peal.
Arriving at the top an hour before

Service Pensions.

The service pension bill that be-
came law Feb. will be taken adj
vantage of as soon as possible by
the veterans whom it affects bene-
fcially as pensions will begin from
the time of executing an application.
The pension Bureau had anticipated
the enactment of the law and had
prepared blanks for application and
as soon as the President signed the
act these blanks were sent out by
the thousands-to all the agencies
in the land and to individual veter-
ans. 1t is necessary that these
blank applications should be filled
out and executed by someone who
is authorized by law to administer
oaths and who has a seal designat-
ing the fact. c. r. Ellis has these
blanks and is notary. He has had
large experience in making out pen
sion papers and his work is accu-
rate, a requirement insisted upon by
the Pension Bureau. Any mistake
delays granting and receipt of a
pension. The banks also have these
blanks. The state pension depart
ment at Madison will assist any vet
eran in a proper presentation of his
case to the Bureau of Pensions at

Nearly 1000 Divorces.
H. o. NORRIS.

The general government had Us
agents under the Census Bureau
collecting statistics relating to mar
riage and divorce. 1t was the in
tention of searching the records of
every county in each of the states
and territories Of the Union to as
certain the number of marriages
and the number, of divorces that
had been recorded in the United
States in the last twenty years, but
last Monday all these agents were
called in with the work only about
half done. The appropriation for
this work had been exhausted and
Congress does not seem disposed
to vote money to continue the work.
II has been the purpose of the gov
eminent to ask Congress to pass
general divorce law and this data
was to be submitted in this connec-
ton.
Bowen Crandall, one of these CEN
sus agents, was through here last
week looking up the county records
to transcribe the marriage and di-
vorce data. He found that in the
three counties, Dunn, ST. Croix and
Pierce, nearly 1000 divorces had
been recorded within the last TWEEN
ty years. Dunn county had a rec
ord of $40 divorces granted in the
last twenty years, St. Croix 1854 and
Pierce 240.

NO CHANGE OF VENUE
Chs, against the Rutland Railroad
VIII lie Tried in Middl~bury
at June Term.

Middlebury, May 30,-There was a
hearing held before Judge Seneca Hasel-
ton at the Addison House yesterday af-
ternoon to decide a petition to remove
the case of G. F. o. Kimball as admins
traitor of the George F. Barrows estate
against the Rutland Railroad company
to another county for trial. The ground
upon which the petition was asked was
that the wreck which occurred at Yer
gennes December /. 1906, would have
some bearing on the case and that the
railroad would not be likely to let a
fair and impartial trial. =. NJ. Meldon
and II. VI. Powers represented the Rut-
land railroad and James II. Donoway of
this city the Barrows estate. The petit
ton was denied by Judge Haselton and
the case will come up for trial at the
Juno term OF the county court.
