The souvenir opening at Sorge's last
evening was a success In every way.

a formal opening of the ice cream and
fountain season and several hundreds
visited this popular place of refresh
ment during the evening. The interi-
or of the building was prettily decorat-
ed for the occasion; purple and white
strea mers hung in festoons from the
ceiling and carnations and the fragrant
hvacinth were tastefully displayed
about the tables, while the strains of
music from a screened portion Of the
room added to the enjoyment of the
spatrons. Neat aluminium note books
were given out as souvenirs of the
evening.

firm of Sorge & Sons of Reedsburg,

SINKING SHAFT
At ROHN MINE
Distance to the Iron Ore
About 800 Feet Through
Drift and Stone.
MORE HELP is WANTED
Hope to Have a Stream of
Water Flowing by July
if Possible.
MORE HELP IS WANTED

The work of sinking a shaft at the
A. w. Rohn iron mine south of town
begun on Thursday and it is hoped to
have a stream of water flowing by
July |. The first work done was to
plow and scrape out as much of the clay
as possible. Then came shovels and
hoist to continue the work. A traction
engine will be used until the big bill
ers and engines of the plant are in
place The four boilers are on the
ground and so is the engine. Two
large piles of coal are in waiting TO
give their energy to the work of max
ing the shaft. Before any iron
can be brought to the surface shaft
three hundred feet must go down
through drift and sandstone. Before
the glaciers came some ten thousand
years ago the ore was buried by about
one hundred feet of POtsdam sand
stone. The glacier piled on top of this
about two hundred feet of earth. The
terminal moraine of the old ice king is
just west of the shaft.
Buildings Being Erected.
The office building is up, the dry
house is completed and carpenters are
putting up the blacksmith shop. The
engine house and boiler house will
follow these. BY the time the ore is
reached cottages will be built for the
miners.
There is much material on the
ground. These include about seven
cars of brick for foundation work, one
car of thin lumber for the shaft, lum-
ber for the buildings and heavy TIM
bers for the shaft.
Mr.. Rohn says that a few weeks ago
he was bombarded with applications
for work but that help is now hard to
find. Anumber more are needed to
hurry the work along.
The location of the shaft on the Ca
hoon property is a picturesque one.
The land is filled with spot holes" left
by the glacier, but the pretty Baraboo
valley to the east is what takes the
eye. Every farm and farmhouse away
down to the lower narrows of the Bar
aboo river may be seen. The north
and south range of bluffs enclose the
valley and add to the richness of the
view.

ODD FELLOWS HOLD
ANNUAL CELEBRATION
Good Program Carried Out
at Hall Wednesday
Evening.

Wednesday evening in their hall
the Independent Order of Odd Eel
lows celebrated the ninety-second an
niversary of the lodge. There was a
good attendance of the members and
their friends present.
The exercises were opened with a
selection by the Sandberg orchestra
followed with prayer led by Rev. w.
r. Irish. Little Elizabeth Ruggles
recited, "Our Hired Girl", and Miss
Esther Niles, "MY Papa, both in a
pleasing way to the attendance. Ken
meth Blanchett recited, "Seeirg
Things at Night" in way worthy of
credit. Instrumental music was given
by Miss May Little on the piano.
Miss Clara Abbey recited, "The Cur
few shall not ring tonight. This is a
tale of a young girl and her lover,
who is doomed to die when the cur
few tolls. She climbs to the belfry
and attempts to stop the ringing of
the bell. Cromwell comes just in
time to save her lover.
William Little gave the evening
address. He took for his topic the
cornerstone of Odd Fellowship or
Fraternity. Mr.. Little opened by
giving Webster's definition of frater-
nifty; brotherly love, common interest
or brotherhood. He said in this work
the rich and the poor, the learned and
unlearned were bound together to in.
splre and uplitt character. Mr.. Little
gave an illustration of what the word
meant to him. When travelling
along dusty road on a hot day and
we see path leading into the forest
and follow it out to the cool refreshing
shade, the shade plays the same part
as fraternity dnes in manhood. Mr..
Little told several stories in bringing
out his points. He concluded by say
ing it matters not whether our par
ents were rich or poor, but it matters
much whatsw make of our selves.
Mrs. /. J. Barrett gave recit alton,
tMrs. Muldoon on Roller Skates,
dressed in an Irish costume. Mrs.
Muldoon gave the reasons for her
battered face to a much interested
neighbor. The poor woman attempts
to learn how to glide on roller skates
in hopes ofswinning prize. She first
watches the movements of expert
skaters, then purchases pair and
goes to her home to practise. After
many exciting experiences and many
hard knocks the idea of winning the
prize is given up:
! Rev. e. Z. Henke gave short talk
in which he congratulated the lodge
lon it's good principles. The spirit OF
brotherhood is what we need. He
also spoke words Of praise for their
jemblem, the three links.
I Rev. L. A. Goddard, also gave
short talk and also praised the spirit
of giving as we'll as receiving.
Refres aments were served at the
close of the program.
