For convenience sake it might be
necessary to eliminate the sinking

however, could be presented by an
army of expert swimmers who live
here.
The undertaking would be one of the
most pretentious outdoor productions
ever presented in the middle west. if
not the United States. The natural
scenery, however, is especially adapt

legend is one so filled with dramatic
incidents that it could be made es-

Spirit Lake is admirably located for
such a feature. The railroads run to
the very shores of the lake so that ex-
could run from all directions.

by members of the Spirit Lake Boost

exciting chapter in the history of the
second presidential Swing around the
circle" It begins with the following
telegram sent by Mayor Frank B.
Wolff of Fon du Lac to Secretary
Hilles on the presidential train at
Cheyenne:
eve have made elaborate arrange
ments for the presidents visit to Fon
du Lac. We are advised that our time
is to be divided with Oshkosh and
other points in the Fox river valley.
We would like to know definitely the
time allotted to Fon du Lac. 1t will re-
quire two and a half hours to carry
out the program and arrangements"
To this the secretary to the presi-
dent replied:
Telegram received Railroads had
given only ten minutes to Appleton
one hour and forty minutes net to
Oshkosh and two and half hours to
Fon du Lac. This was an error. Apple
ton was to have an hour and ten min.
ute It will be necessary to revise the
program and deal fairly with Apple

Visit Cancelled by Committee.
This message must have caused
some excitement in Fon du Lac, for
promptly this answer was sent from
Mayor Wolff and the Chairman Of all
committees
"As all arrangements had been
made to cover the presidents visit
to Fon du Lac for two and half hours
as per original program. all arrange
ments have been abandoned. Give all
your time to Oshkosh and Appleton
AS soon as this action of the mayor
and the committees was made public,
Postmaster George Watson Of Fon du
Lac wired to Mr.. Hilles as follows:
Kindly give the people of Fon du
Lac an opportunity to express their
loyalty to the president in accordance
with his plans and convenience. The
people wish to greet him and to hear
him"
F. NJ, Given, president of the Bust
ness Mems association sent the fol-
lowing:
"The citizens of Fon du Lac urge
that there be no change in the pro
gram of the president regarding his
visit to this city. Everything will be
arranged for his comfort and pleas

JEFFERSON co. TO
HAVE MONUMENTS
SOCIETY PLANNING WAYS AND
MEANS TO MARK HIS
TORICAL PLACES. =

Fairfield, Oct. 1.-THE members OF
the Jefferson County Historical
society are planning ways and means
by which they can bring about the
erection of several granite or marble
shafts marking the various historical
places in the county. They are exceed
ingly anxious that such a monument
he erected on the site of the first
state ground, which lies just south OF
the c., B. & @. railroad tracks be-
tween Second and Third streets. This
first state fair grounds comprised ten
acres and was surrounded by h1gn
rail fence. There are number OF
Fairfield residents still living who at
tended this state fair. Among them
are Hon. l. D. Jones, Mrs. Joel vurney,
Clarke Van Nostrand, Cranmore Gage
and John Mclean.
Two other locations in the county
have been regarded as worthy of bear
ing the first monuments. They are
place in Round Prairie township
where the first log cabin was built and
near Four Corners where Swedish
Settlement was made in 1S45, the
vic;rltj being known as Stockholm"
to this day. Other locations are being
considered
It is the intention to bring the mat
ter of the monument for the first state
fair grounds to the attention of the
state legislature with a view to asking
for an appropriation for the erection
of this monument. 1t is probable that
the others will be erected by popular
subscription some time in the near
future
