POTATOES ON APPLE TREES
The Way One Visitor to the North
Yakima Region DenOminates
Fruit.

Lloyd Little has returned from an
EXTENDED trip through the Yellow
stone National park, the Seattle North
Yakima and other places la that vicin-
ity where the boomers boom, thrive,
and boom again. Mr.. Little did not
accumulate much of the enthusiasm pc
culiar to that country. His preference
is for five acres in Sauk county to one
acre in North Yakima, the values of
each being about the same.
Mr.. Little says he never found
place before where straw potatoes are
grown on apple trees" for he declares
the flavor of the western fruit does not
compare with that of Sauk county. Be
sides he says they have to spray the
fruit four times out there, and that
can be done in Sauk county.
If man has $1,000 or $4,000 he can
realize good returns on wise invest
,nents there the same as anywhere
else. He looked about on his own ac-
count and saw some of the drawbacks
of the country of which its boomers
display only the good features.

Literary Note.

Frederic S. Isham, author of Half a
Chance, is not superstitious, but he
has had, through mere coincidence, he
alleges, odd difficulties with Chapter
13 in all his various novels. That
chapter in The Lacy of the Mount
cost him more than thirteen writings;
he determined not to build his fires in
the chill fall atmosphere of Japan with
discarded chapters Is of Half Chance.
30 he did away with Chapter 13 alto
gether, labeled it Chapter 10 until it
was ready for the printer, when some
one surreptitiously changed it.In so far
as the novelist is concerned with his
own work, Chapter IL has ceased to
exist; it masquerades for him under
any other old number. The Bobbs-

A BARABOO MAN
NEAR The POLE
JAr1ES WILLIAr1S NEARLY LOST
HIS LIFE IN THE ARCTIC
REGIONS
WINTERED IN SNOW HOUSE
Ship ssCrusheS Between Two Big
Icebergs Big as Court
house

James Williams of Baraboo was once
near the north pole and takes deep
interest in the Cook-Peary controversy.
About the time the civil war broke
out in America he left Quebec on
whaler for the arctic. The boat was q
sailing craft with 80 men in the crew.
While cruising amongst the ice bergs
off the coast of Greenland their ship
got between two large ones and was
crushed. The Baraboo survivor says
that the icebergs projected out of the
water and looked as big as the court
house. When one considers that only
one-eighth is above the surface it can
be easily understood that ship would
have no chance under such cir
Icumstances. Many of the crew were
killed and Mr.. Williams with some OF
the others escaped to the icebergs.
The block of ice drifted to the Green
land coast and they were able to escape
to land. OF the thirty-two only eight
reached the bank and all of these did
not survive the exposure. They saved
their guns and ammunition and with
these were able to kill some seal, wal
rus and polar bear. They built asnow
house and remained there for the
winter. Mr.. Williams feet were frozen
and the sufferings Of all the men were
almost unbearable. The shipwreck
occurred in October and in March a
band of Eskimos found them while
making hunting trip. They helped
the men to the south where boat was
taken for Norway and then home.
Mr.. Williams says that he does not
care for another such experience. The
loneliness of the situation, the long
night, the severe cold and the want of
food made life miserable. Two of his
compionS died, there was no chance
for any comfort, such as bath. The
thermometer was from As to so degrees
below all the time and it was necessary
to sleep in fur bags, just like the
natives.
He says that he believes DR.. Cook
first reached the north pole and
that he is the one to have the honor.
Mr.. Williams was born in London.

BAD WORDS, CANE,
HORSESHOE AND!
EDWARD WHITE, PORTER FOR
GOLLMAR BROTHERS DRINKS
AND TALKS.
MARSHAL BUCKLEY USES CLUB
Sent to Madison to Receive Sentence
From Judge E. Ray
Stevens,


Marshal j. E. Buckley had some
difficulty last night with Edward
White, porter for Gollmar Brothers.
After knocking him down twice and
then covering him, with revolver the
fellow, who had been drinking it is
said, yielded.
The trouble arose from Whites max
ing himself in the way at the Yelling
ton hotel. Officers Buckley and
Butterfield were summoned and took
charge of him taking him to the police
station. After White had claimed he
had friends in BarabOo, Officer Butter
field went out in search of them, while
Marshall Buckley and White waited.
White became talkative, and after a
time abusive, and finally started to
attack the marshal. The latter used
his cane and laid him low. Again the
fellow made the attack and again he
fell to the floor The third time, he
picked up big horseshoe, when Mr..
Buckley drew his revolver forcing the
fellow to desist
Marshal Buckley conducted the
fellow this forenoon to JUS
tice Halsted, where he decided to
plead guilty TO the charge of resisting
an officer. Sheriff Grant Dryer accom-
panied him to Madison to receive sem
tence from Judge E. Ray Stevens, for
a Justice has no jurisdiction over such
cases.
When the fray was waxing and re-
waxing stronger and stronger, the
marshal's dog, which was muzzled, an
animal only nine months old, jumped
into the mixup and would have been
of much assistance had he been un-
muzzled.
The appearance of the fellow tallies
with one whom F. Holloway gave
ten dollars to get changed recently land
who never came back. 1t appears
that Mr.. Holloway, who walks with
cane, and another fellow, described as
White appeared, were in Reineke's
saloon. When it came to pay for a
round of drinks, Mr.. Holloway sup
piled the coin in the shape of a ten
dollar bill. The till did not have the
requisite amount of small change, so
the stranger offered to go out and hunt
for change. He remained out.

Amateur Dramatic Company, which
had a career; existing for four or five
years, and gave creditable performances
of the standard drama. He was writer
of farces, which were received by the
public with favor. "The Amateurs" !"
while the company remained in exis-
tence, were certainly means of culti-
waiting taste for the legitimate drama.
Their performances usually consisted
of a five act drama, and one act farce
as an afterpiece; and sometimes re-
citation, comic song, or dance as
an interlude. Mr.. Joy taught the
Baraboo public school for one or two
terms. In 1861 he and Edward p.
Spencer emigrated TO Missouri; and
Joy died soon after,-within a year,
