The Creeks.

Bear Creek-Thomas Murray Of
Sandusky says that the stream called
Bear creek in the town of Bear Greek
was so named on account of the bears
which infested it in an early day. The
Winnebago word for Bear Greek is
Hoonge-Nee, Shun-ick.
Big Creek-This stream enters the
Baraboo river near La Vale but the
origin of the name is not known to
the writer. In case any reader knows
how the stream got it's name, kindly
write to The News, Baraboo, Wis.
Clark Creek-The stream which
plays hide and seek in it's sandy and
stony bottom and which flows into
the Baraboo river near the Macarthur
mill in Chenille was named CLARK
creek for Judge Clark of an early day.
The home of Judge Clark is where
State Senator Pearson resides.
Clayton Creek-Rev. John L.
Durward says that when the United
States geological surveyors were at the
glen at the time of making the contour
map of this region that they asked his
father, B. I. Durward, for the name of
the stream flowing through the glen.
He replied, the Calydon. The word
comes from Caledonia and is the
poetical expression of the word.
"Oh, Caledonia, stern and wild"
says Scott in the "Lay of Last
MINSTREL
"Not thus in Ancient Days of Caly-
don," he also sings in the "Lady OF
the Lake."
The name comes from place in
Scotland, the native land of B. |.
Durv ard.
Dell Creek-The word Dells, as ap-
piled to the region Of the Wisconsin
river above and below Kilbourn, comes
from the French dalles, meaning the
narrows of river or between the cliffs.
No doubt the place was given the name
by some early Frenchman who came
to this region. From the word deIs
we get Lower Dells, Upper Dells,
Dell Prairie, Fern Dell and Dell creek.
Delton, as applied to the town and
village, is contraction of Dell Town
or Delton. J. 7. Huntington reports
that Dell creek was named from the
of the dells along the stream.
The name appears as early as 1916 as
shown by the government plats of
the surveys.
Copper Greeks. A. Pelton says
that Copper creek in Winfield was
named because of the copper ore found |
there. The ore came down from the
North in glacial times and was known |
as sfoating ore." The Ian d was held |
oy the government for long time on
account of the supposed mineral wealth
and in the meantime Don Carlos
lauled much of the ore TO Mineral :,
Point.

experience; 1t may be few weeks or
it may be year.
Even after the stable point is reach
ed, we must guard against periodicity
of habit, of which the occasional
"spree" is an example, and against
recurrence, which is a common and
very important characteristic of, habit.
We have all observed how disturb
ance in physical conditional change
OF environment, fit of illness, will
cause former habit, apparently in no
wise related, to reassert itself.
1t is as though the nervous force
was like stream of water flowing
along we'll defined course; a wall is
built, it is forced into new channel
flood comes and takes away the bar
rier; it returns to it's former course.
Those who have conquered lung trou-
bile, indigestion, the flesh habit or 9th
er ills, as well as those who have mas
tered habits of dissipation must al.
ways fOrtify themselves against The
danger of recurrence.-Madison Jour

What is Wrong
THIS Leap
Year.

What is the trouble, dear
girls? Do you not know this is
leap year? During the month
of March only five couples in
Sank county obtained licenses
to marry. There is a great
depression in the matrimonial
line. The county clerk says
that he does not understand
it and the ministers look so
sad. They feel as if the whole
marrying business had gone
into bankruptcy or some other
secluded region. This is April,
next month will be May and
the following one June. It is
hoped that by the time the
month of roses comes that
there will be weddings enough
to catch up with the process
sion and make the month
record breaking one. How
about it, brides to be?

Sank County Place Names

in the town of Delton and was named
for Joel Hubert.
Hay Creek-This stream empties
into the Baraboo river near Reeds
burg and in an early day the residents
cut hay along the creek, hence i is
name.
Honey Creek-I. A. Lapham in
his History of Wisconsin, published
in 1886, says the stream is called Nau.
matonan or Honey Creek. The former
name is probably Winnebago but its
meaning is unknown. The name of
Honey creek was applied to the stream
on account of so many wild bees with
rich stores of honey being found there
by the early settlers. Honey creek is
the largest stream wholly within the
county.
Leech Creek-The late Joseph Teel
said that John Brink, named Leech
lake and creek from the fact that the
water leeched or percolated through
the soil. Brink was a United States
surveyor of Crystal Lake, ILL.,, and
when he made the subdivisions of
Fairfield he camped in tent on David
Hunters place near the creek.
Jackson Creek-The stream which
enters this Baraboo river near the Jack
son bridge in Greenfield is usually
called Jackson creek for j. Jackson
an early settler. The family moved
to Minnesota many years ago. On the
United States typographical map
issued about 1897 the stream is called
Rowley creek, the name being that of
another resident. In territorial times
the stream, or at least the upper por-
ton of it, was known as Leambro's
creek. Before his death, r. 6. Cowles
told the writer that when he came to
Greenfield in 1843, Leambro lived
with a group of indians where red
men have since resided the head
waters of the creek. He " as small
dark Frenchman and had a squaw for
wife One day when Leambro was
residing in Caledonia east of Green
field, Congregational missionary
came direct from the Lemonweir and
reported that he had lost his horse
He offered $500 as reward and Mr..
Cowles reasoned that the animal must
be between Greenfield and the Wiscon-
sin river. Mr.. Cowles found the horse
at Robinson's place and came over the
bluff with the animal, passing The
Leambro place. About so rods west OF
where Leambro lived be came upon a
which was thin, and picked
it up. He carried it home and about
week after Leambro came along and
the bird. Mr.. Cowles would
tell the incident with smile and con
clude with the remark that the mis-
sionary got his horse for $500 but he
lost the bird.
In case any one knows further par
;iculars concerning either of the above,
4 letter sent to the News, Baraboo,
Wis, will be appreciated.

Senator LaFollette may fairly claim
the right to dispute Mr.. Roosevelt S
supremacy as the leader of the pro-
gressive republicans. The North Da-
kota result is mighty encouraging to
him. He is abundantly justified in
staying in the race and contesting as q
candidate in every presidential pri-
mary yet to be held. The senator's
grim tenacity EFFORTS the admiration

The New Pension Bill.

The new Pension Bill, which was APP
proved by the President short time ago,
has stirred up the pensioners. in Fred
erick county and also in the city, and
many have already filed their applica-
tons for an increase.
The office of the Commissioner OF
Pensions Davenport of Washington, has
been completely swamped with applica-
tons, and extra persons have been en-
ployed to stamp the letters in their order
of receipt, as is required by the act.
II was stated at the Office OF the commits
sioner recently that the number OF appli-
cations already received was over $4,000
While the bill is known as the Dollar
A-Day Bill, yet under its provisions any
person who served 90 days in the Civil
War, and was honorably discharged
shall be entitled to receive a pension, but
the amount that he can receive is graded
from SI3 per month on up to $50, the
maximum. The SI3 rate applies to per
sons who have reached the age of 81
years, and who served 90 days in the
war, and the increase is then 50 cents
for each six months additional service.
Al 90 years the minimum to be paid is
SIS, per month, and on up At the age
OF - the rate is SCI per month for 90
days service, and the increase from this
age on is $3.50 for each six months serv-
ice on up to the $50 limit
The $50 limit is to be paid to any one
who was injured in the line of duty or
who since has been stricken with any
disease encountered during the service,
and who now is unfit for manual labor.
The full $50 is to be paid without regard to
the length of service.
Soldiers who served in the Mexican
War are also entitled to $50 under the
act, although no mention is made o.
those serving in the Spanish American
| War
There are in Frederick City and county
over 100 persons who are now receiving
pensions. Under the new law ever,
person who served in the Civil War i,
entitled 10 pension of at least SI3 PEI
month, provided that he is 81 years o
age. AS there are few, if any soldier:
who are not of this age, it means tina
practically every survivor of the Civil
War will receive at least the minimum
pension There are a few veterans ii
the county who have not reached the age
OF 10, and the increase under the law, will
probably range from S. 10 IL or more
! per month for each veteran, as those nov
| receiving pensions are entitled to in
