gorge forms what is called the Dells OF
dangerous and difficult stretch of water
for the raftsgnen to encounter in all the
long trip from the mills to the market.
The River Raft.
The Wisconsin river raft Of those
days was constructed oftwo strings, of
ten or twelve cribs each, of boards or
planks. Each crib was built up Of
tiers of boards alternately packed at
right angles to each other, so that the
crib, when complete, formed a square
packed some eighteen Ortwenty inches
in depth and the dimensions of the
square were those of the length of the
boards forming the crib. That is, six
teen foot boards formed crib sixteen
feet square, etc. Ten or twelve of these
cribs, coupled together tandem, formed
string, and two strings coupled side
by side formed raft These RATS were
fitted with long, broad bladed oars, at
tached to long timber stems, an oar at
each end of each string. A raft crew
consisted of from two to four men.
Several RATS formed a fleet.
Ordinarily, in good stage of water on
the open river, two men were crew
enough to handle the raft, but in run
ming through the Dells in high stage
of water the RATS were separated into
single strings and the oars manned by
double crews. Sometimes, in fair
stage of the river, the RATS were not
separated into strings but the crews of
two or more RATS were employed to
man the oars. So, in passing this
stretch of the river, the raft or the
string was run to a point below the
Dells and then tied up and the men
doubled, or walked back to the head,
and ran the remaining part through.
Just below the mouth of Dell Creek
the river makes bend forming great
cove or bay, some hundreds of acres in
extent, on the south side of the river,
stretching from the creek to Sugar
Bowl Rock. This bay was the first
available place of any size, below the
Dells, where the RATS or half RATS
could be tied up to remain while the
crews returned to the head of the Dells
for the remaining strings, and here
was the grand re-assembling point fol
them after passing the Dells. 1t was
no uncommon thing to see that bay

WILLIAM TOOLE FOR ASSEMBLY Y
President of Wisconsin State HOr-
ticuIturaI Society Submits His
Candidacy.

AS will be seen in another part OF
this paper William Toole of the town
of BaraboO has announced that he will
be candidate at the fall primaries for
the Republican nomination for assem-
blyman from the first assembly dis
trict of Sauk county.
Mr. ToOle is we'll known not only
throughout the county, but, as presi-
dent of the Wisconsin State Horticul-
tural Society has formed wide ac-
quaintance around the state. For a
quarter of century he never missed
being present at the meetings wher-
ever held and nearly always appeared
on the program. With record like
that it is safe to say that if nominated
and elected to the assembly he will
not miss many roll calls.
Mr.. Toole has resided in Sauk
County for nearly half century, hav-
ing lived near Reedsburg before COM
ing to the town of Baraboo. After he
moved from near Reedsburg to Bara-
boo he became interested in flowers
and vegetables and has become a
pansy specialist of national reputation
He has been the moving spirit in
the Skillet Greek Farmers club and
this has gained for itself an enviable
reputation on account of the interest
ing meetings enjoyed.

In the latter part of the year 1882,
John Metcalf, who in later years
owned the upper, or Lyons, sawmill
on the Baraboo river, and Daniel
Whitney the first white owner of the
site of the present city of Portage, OBJ
tained the right to cut lumber and
make shingles on the land belonging
to the Menominie Indians. These
lands were located on both banks of the
upper Wisconsin river. Late in the
fall of that year they started for the
upper river. THY took with them
two man power sawmill. 1t was
whip or pit saw. It was to be operated
as follows: A pit some seven feet deep
was dug and across this pit the log
which was to be cut into boards or
blanks was laid. One man being sta
toned in the pit and the other on the
log, the saw was drawn alternately up
and down and by this means the log
was sawed into boards or plankS OF the
thickness desired by the operators.
These men, during the winter of
1928 thus manufactured lumber and
in the spring of 1888 they built from it
the first lumber raft on the upper river.
With this raft they made the pioneer
run down the river, through the Dells,
and to the site of the present city of
Portage.
Thus was begun lumber traffic on
the Wisconsin river which in the
eighteen or twenty years following grew
to great volume, traffic which in the
years from 1S49 to 1856 required the
construction of from two to three thou
sand RATS annually and gave employ
ment to four or five thousand Tivermen
during the spring and summer rafting
season.
It was with a view to securing por-
ton of the supply trade of this army of
river men that village and store
were established at the point where
Dell Greek joins the Wisconsin river,
on the northern boundary of Sauk
county.
For distance of eight miles or more
above the mouth of Dell Creek the
river runs between high rock walls
which narrow for a portion of the way
to a width of less than seventy-five
feet. Through this gorge, when the
water was high enough to permit the
running of RATS, the river boiled and
whirled in swift, angry current. This

CHANGES ADVISED
IN WATER SYSTEM
SUGGESTION rIADE BY ENGINEER
FRENCH AND SECRETARY
WORKMAN.

At meeting of the water commits
sion couple of weeks ago a report by
| City Engineer French and Secretary
| Workman was read in which they ad-
vised that churches, schools, ,thellibrary,
and the city hall have meters installed
and pay reasonable rate for the water
rent and that the city pay for the use
of water from hydrants and foun-
tains at the rate Of $40 per hydrant
annually, instead of $40 each as is
now the rate. Contractors should pay
! cents per square foot for the water
used in building cement walks. They
think it best that property owners in
stead of renters should pay the water
rent, adding sufficient to cover the eX-
pense to the amount of rent.
They advised that the payment for
sill cocks should be made in advance by
the year or else it should be clearly such
understood that the amount due from
service per quarter should be added to
The rent every quarter and for not less
than four quarters and that the super
intendent look up the matter of the
lawfulness of officials removing them.
They recommended the installation
of meters where there is wilful waste
of water, also in compartment places
where there is more than one user and
that rent of so cents per quarter be
charged against the property owner.
The reason for this is the strictness of
the railroad commission which reg
ulates all public utilities, in calling for
an account of all water used.
At this meeting Mayor Bender was
elected president of the board. The re-
port was filed for future reference.
At a special meeting of commission
held Monday evening the recommen-
dation of Secretary Workman to the
water commission was read. He said
that after May the city clerk would
be relieved from further duties as secre
tary of the commission and that water
rentals must henceforth be paid in the
office of the city treasurers. He had
found that the offices of city clerk and
secretary of the water commission did
not harmonic. He called the atten-
ton to various cases where two or more
persons used water from the same place
and advised having the property own
er pay the water rent. He doubted
whether it paid to send out the postal
card notices as it was only to help the
collector and only about brought the
cards when they came to pay. He
closed the paper by thanking the
board for their many curtesies and
said that although there was no COM
pensation for their offices and the duties
were only performed for the public
good, the people did uot fuzzy appreci-
ate the difficulties of their positions.
The city treasurer was elected secretary
of the water commission.

new POSTMASTER AT PORTAGE
Taft Names Thomas J. Wells To Sue
ceed Arthur A. Porter
in Job.

Thomas J. Wells has been appointed
postmaster of Portage to succeed A. A.
Porter who has held the government
position for the last eight years and
who was an active candidate for re-
appointment.
According to the Portage Democrat
the selection of Mr.. Wells for the posi-
ton is received with satisfaction
among the citizens of Portage regard
less of party affiliation. In fact, the
partisans of Mr. Porter can find moth
ing to criticise in the appointment
made by President Taft. Mr.. Wells
is competent and will no doubt make
an obliging and satisfactory official.
The following from a Washington
dispatch to the Milwaukee Sentinel
gives some information and also
throws a few political sidelights:
president Taft sent TO the senate
on Tuesday the nomination of Thomas
J. Wells as postmaster of Portage to
succeed Arthur A. Porter. Mr.. Porter
who is serving his second term, was
candidate for re-appointment, and was
indorsed by Representative Nelson. 1t
is said that majority of patrons OF
the office supported Mr.. Wells.
"The department sent a special in
spector to Portage to look into the sit
uation and on his report decided to
disregard Mr.. Nelson's recommenda.

completely covered with tied up RATS.
This favorable location caused the
mouth of Dell Greek to become divi-
sion, re-victualing and resting place
for the raftsmen before they started on
the long run toward the mouth of the
river and the Mississippi. The settle
ment itself was at first called Dell
Greek.
Early Settlers.
About the year 1841 John Mead,
Samuel Bentley and j. B. McNeal To-
Gated near the mouth of the creek,
opening up fields or clearings some
three-quarters of mile south, on the
uplands. Two years later a Mr.. Jen-
son took up a claim and cleared and
broke up field One.quarter of a mile
south of Mead's field. In 1848 Joseph
Sanders settled and began farming one
quarter of mile west of Mead's. The
old Mead, Jenson and Sanders fields
are now included in the fields of the
farm owned by Judge Marshall.
About this time Frank DarroW es-
tabIished general store at Dell Greek.
The principal outlet which the early
settlers had for their surplus produce
was the raftsmen's trade at Dell Greek.
In the spring and summer they here
found ready market for -four, butter,
chickens, eggs and vegetables. In the
fall and winter the pinery trade took
their spare feed, grain, flour, pork,
beef, and the yokes of oxen which some
of them fitted up for this trade. Dell
Creek was the outfitting point tor the
upper river lumber camps.
It Will be seen, from the above ex
PLANTATION, that the mouth of Dell
Creek was, from its location, the logi
Cal point for a great trading Uown to
grow up, under the conditions as they
existed at this early date.
In the fall of 1849 a Touring mill was
completed and put in operation at the
DOluI OA OCII C1CCh WhClC OCltOQ 1o
now located, two miles above the
mouth of the creek. The settlers began
to come and to locate and open up
farms in great numbers for now there
was ready means of preparing their
grain for market and the market at
Dell Creek was fast growing in i'm
portance.
The Beginning of Newport
In the spring of 1850 the small settle
ment at the mouth of the creek was
surprised one day by the
advent of small steambo at
which came up the river from the
Mississippi, ladened with goods and
to purchase produce for below. Here
was demonstration that the
Wisconsin river was navigable
stream and, as the boat could not go
through the Dells, Dell Creek was the
head of navigation. This meant much

THE WIND AND NERVES,

The east winds hug the earth more
closely and gather moisture, dust and
bacteria, says the Chicago Tribune.
They are cold and humid, altogether
forming an enervating influence on
human and animal life, and rendering
1t susceptible to the disease germs
which the winds carry and dissent
nate.
The cool, pure northwest winds
come from a region of dry, highly
electrified air where ozone exists in
comparatively large quantities. They
are tnvigorating. The framework OF
nerves in the human being is like a
delicate electrical apparatus, the
nerves being the wires and the brain
and ganglia receiving and distribut-
ing centers.
Everyone knows that telephone
works better on clear. dry day than
on a wet. muggy one. The moist
atmosphere lessons vitality. The
nerve wires grow flacid and heavy.

OPAQUE UNDERCL0THING

The use of colored underclothing
in summer, particularly in our more

Justified. says American Medicine.
When It was first suggested that
skins We're pigmented to exclude too
much light the profession was quite
skeptical, physicians preferring to
consider nature a fool to create col
ored races in light countries Opaque
clothing is becoming popularized. and
it is interesting to note that the in
stinctive demand for It. not only in
the tropics but in America also. is so
great that manufacturers are flood
Ing the market with enormous guam
titles of black undergarments. Lay
experience already shows it to be
comfortable and beneficial. 1t is of
course wholly unnecessary in such
cloudy places as northern Europe.
