the east branch of the Wisconsin. The
stream affords plenty of water for miles
for driving logs. Three miles from this
creek we cross Pelican river, beauti-
full stream about ten rods wide The
land between Noisy creek and Pelican
river is of sandy loan, with but little
standing timber, and has the appear
ancc of an olo windfall. One and a
half miles from where we cross Pelican
river is Pelican Rapids, on the east
branch of the Wisconsin, where the
descent is about 80 feet in one and a
half miles. After leaving these rapids,
and travelling distance of about seven
miles, we came to Lake creek, where we
found some excellent pine timber and
extensive hay meadows. A few miles
above where we crossed this stream
we found, were hardwood ridges. For
an additional distance of ten miles to
Sugar Camp lakes the road is through
groves of maple timber with scattering
pine. These lakes, four in number,
abound in fish of various kinds. The
Indians have extensive Sugar
Orchards" in this vicinity. The dis
tance from Sugar Camp lakes to Eagle
river is about ten miles, through a
dense forest of pine, that l should think
would yield from 80 to 40 thousand feet,
board measure, to the acre. On the
north side of this lake is the extensive
numbering establishment of Messrs.
Helms & Fox. Here we stopped for
the night and were cordially welcomed.
Messrs. Helms & Fox began their i'm
provements at Eagle lake about the
first clsSept. last. Since then they have
erected three good dwelling houses,
besides storehouses and stables. The
houses have good sbingle roofs and
lumber floors, made of lumber sawed
at their own mill, built since they
moved here in Sept. last. They are
now putting into the lake, logs enough
each day to make 100000 feet of lumber
board measure. They also intend clear
ing 40 acres of land for crops in the
spring and judging from the quality of
the soil, the yield will be abundant
On the morning of February 1st, we
left Eagle lake for the purpose of ex-
pIoring the Wisconsin river, and ascer-
tanning whether lumber and logs could
be driven out of the streams. We came
to the conclusion that there was water
sufficient at all seasons of the year for
driving purposes, it being narrower
and deeper than below this point. In
conclusion, ] will say, that the country,
so far as we travelled, presents greater
inducements for the farmer and lumber
man than can be found elsewhere. The.
quantity of pine is almost inexhaustible
and | do not believe the soil for farming
purposes is surpassed by any in the
state. G. A. SINGLE.

NOW POOR.

friends and good reputation, is re-
ported to be destitute and burden up.
on the city. In ar early day he con-
Quoted numbering operations and had
much to do with the early history OF
this section, but his fortune has faded
away, and instead of having servants
waiting upon him, as he once had, he
is now refused hotel room. Most OF
his money was lost through poor in
vestments. His case is similar to that
OF G. L. Meyer, we'll known TO a num-
ber OF Wausau manufacturers, who re-
Gently died in poverty in Milwaukee
hospital after being at one time rated
in the millions.
Mr.. Saunders at one time owned a
large farm in the town of Day in this
county, about mile south of Rice lake.
He purchased the land over thirty
years ago at time when large bands
of Indians roamed that country and
one of their villages was situated on his
farm. The Indians had no legal title
to the land. but he gave them 5000 for
their clearing and to get rid of them.
After they had received and spent the
money part of them refused to vacate
the property in spite of coaxing and
threats. Eventually he set fire to their
wigwams ard one old squaw would
have been burned alive had he not
dragged her from the burning mass of
birch bark and poles.
About sixteen years ago, one VIM.
Burhoff, while plowing on the Saunders
farm, turned up from shallow grave
a nickel medal and a copper COMA
half penny token. The medal was one
issued to John Carol, of Massachusetts,
a soldier of the civil war, and later
with Reno at the battle of the Little
Big Horn, when Clusters command was
massacred in 1876. Subsequent devel-
opments proved that Carol was fictic-
icus name adopted by soldier of
fortune. Carol, itappears, died few
years ago in Washington, d. c.,
hospital There is considerable mys-
terry concerning how the coin and
medal came to be buried with the
Indian in this county.
The Saunders farm is one of the old
est in Marathon county and were its
Indian history known it no doubt would
furnish many an interesting tale. The
Indian clearing on it was hundreds of
years old when he purchased it.

They were Mr.. and Mrs. NJ Summer;

that they either had to return to Russia
or lose considerable property which

necessary, in order to divide and dispose
certain property, for them to remain
away until next spring, at which time
all expect to return.

FAIR NOTES.

Entries are being made fast this week
and there is every prospect that the ex-
hioits in every department will be in
excess of that of any other year and of
better quality. A larger number and
variety of exhibits is looked for in the
line of vegetables than ever before.
The farmers appear more interested
this year than usual.
Paul Dumdei, of the town of Wausau,
has entered three horses, two grade
Guernsey cattle, Berkshire pigs and
nineteen varieties of grains grasses,
vegetables, etc.
j. j. Bean, of the town of Flieth, will
show ten head of Guernsey cattle, one
coach horse and Chester White hogs.
( j. j. Kline, of the town of Flieth, will
bring in eight varieties of fruit, five of
vegetables and two Ct grain.
These are in addition to others we
have already named OF course a lot
of those who will exhibit have not made
application, but will do SO at the
eleventh hour

ing of the eth of January, 1858. in com
pany with Joseph Dessert. of Mosinee,
Henry Clinton and Mr. Ripley of Grand
Rapids. On the evening of the same
day we reached the comfortable cabin
of Fred Burghess, distance of 80 miles,
where we were cordially welcomed, and
remained there till the following morn
ing, when we resumed our journey
northward. One and half miles travel
brought us to the cabin of Mr. Norway
at the post of Grand Father Bull Falls.
These fails or rapids are one and halt
miles in length, with descent of about
100 feet. Six miles further up the Wis
consin, we came to the foot of Grand
mother Bull Falls, which are about one
fourth of mile in length, with fall of
about ten feet.
Here we came in company with
Joseph Fox, who was on his way from
Stevens Point to Eagle River with his
family. After leaving these falls and
travelling distance of six miles, we
reached SkoneWong lake, which
abounds in fish of the finest kind. They
are caught by means of fish trap at
the outlet of the lake, which seldom if
ever freezes. The land lying between
the falls and lake is of an excellent
quality. The timber consists chiefly of
pine, maple, Eastwood and butternut
North from the lake, a distance of
about sixteen miles, through some
beautiful pine and sugar maple groves,
is pine creek, stream of considerable
importance to the farmer and lumber
man, as it abounds in plenty of good
mill sites, protected by rock banks and
rock bottom. The timber here is a
mixture of pine, maple, Eastwood, elm
and the soil black loan, with clay
subsoil. From Pine to Noisy creek
ten miles the country is not heavily
timbered. We found scattering maple,
white-ash, birch, and the soil, should
judge, was similar to that we had
previously seen. Here we camped for
the night, and the following morning
we followed Noisy creek few miles in
search OF pine, which we found in
abundance and of the best quality, only
few miles from the mouth of the
creek where it empties its waters into
