DENY INDIANS ARE PAGANS
Reported Action by Chippewa Pres

Lac du Flambeau.--The report
that the Chippewa Presbytery was
considering the establishment of en-
Indian mission at the Couderay res
ervation because, it was claimed, a
majority of the 5000 Indians in
the western part of the state are
without religious training, has
reused protest among those well
acquainted with conditions at the va
rious Indian reservations. They claim
that the inference that Wisconsin In
dams are pagans is unjust and false.
The assertion is made that at least
two-thirds of the governments wards
on the Couderay or Lac Courte Or

will remain so until death. Long

districts and the Fourth assembly
district of Milwaukee county. The
primaries will be held on April 2,
the day of the spring election, and
the special elections on April 26.
Gov. McGovern said that he did
not believe that the special session
of the legislature would last more
than ten days or two weeks. Bills
on the ten subjects to be considered,
and under the call no other subjects
can come up, will be prepared by the
legislative reference bureau before
the legislature convenes and copies
sent to the members. Any member
of the legislature may have bills
drafted by the bureau on these sub
jects. The last special session of the
legislature, which was in 1905, con-
tinued fifteen days and cost the state
s8,67S26. Gov. McGovern said that
he believed the cost of the special
session just called would be less than
that amount.

SUE MANY FOR OLD
| PORT ULLA0 LANDS
Passing of Once Thriving har-
Dor City Recalled.
WAS RIVAL OF MILWAUKEE,
Name Almost Unknown to Present
Generation - Village of Corning,
Saved by Railroads. Advent, May
Get Former Name Back.

Milwaukee.-The passing of two
of the earliest Wisconsin towns, one
of which has wholly disappeared
from the map, while the name of the
other is is revived as a railroad sta
ton, mas been recalled recently by
suits and petitions brought in con-
nection with the settlement of prop
erty and names of these old land
marks.
One of these historical spots is
Port Ullao, in 0zaukee county, lorg
since crowded out of memory by its
thriving neighbor, Port Washington;
the other is the old Indian village of
Corning, in Marquette county, the
name of which has been changed to
Anacker by the 500 railroad, and is
now likely to be changed again, if
the movement started by conserva-
tive old settlers should be success
full
Suits have been brought in circuit
court against long list OF defend
ants to clear up the title and va
cate the streets and alleys of what
was once known as Port Ullao, but
what now is nothing but farm land.
The story of this spot is associated
with some dark pages of history.
This was the birthplace Of Charles j.
Guiteau, whose name lives in the an
nails of our country coupled with the
murder of President Garfield.
Back in territorial times Port
Ullao, situated five miles south of
Port Washington, was looked upon
as the coming commercial metropo-
lis of the lakes. The port consisted
of a pier running out into the lake
at which steamboats, of those days
discharged passengers and cargo and
took on wood. 1t was while lying
at the Port Ullao pier that steam
err on which the late Capt. Frederick
Pabst and the late Gregory Hurson
were serving as officers saw the
smoke and flames of the steamer Nj
agara, which caught fire when
near Port Washington, and burned
with a terrible loss of life.
AS the state began to settle, Mil
waukee on the south and Port Wash
ington on the north pushed forward
and the claims of Port Ullao to COM
mercial supremacy were crowded
into the background For a time it
held it's own as woodward for lake
steamers, but this, in turn, was cut
off by other ports of more import
ance.
One by one the residents left I'M
til nothing remained but beautiful
plat on paper of what would appear
city of considerable population.
Gradually even the name was for
gotten, except by few of the older
settlers who came to the state in
pioneer times.
The old forks of the Neenah just
below Corning and the neighboring
fork Of French creek were called
Wishonche, or Neenah Wishonche,
i, e., the junction or gathering of
waters
Before the advent of the railroad
line, the village had become almost
extinct, but since then it was con-
verified into depot and bids fair TO
be preserved as landmark, although
it probably will never be more than
II hamlet.
