GEOGRAPHERS WILL
VISIT THE LAKE

The members of the American Geo.
graphical society will visit Devils
Lake park on August 20. The party
will include not only distinguished
geographers of our own country but
fourteen other lands will be represent
ed. The visitors will spend day in
Madison before coming to the lake and
will be in charge of Professor l..
Martin of the geographical department
of the state university. The visitors
will go from here TO st. Paul.
Their purpose in stopping at the
lake is to see the Indian mounds, the
rock formation and what the glacier
did when it came along some 10000
years ago.
The visitors will be there about half
a day which will give them ample
time to mount some of the bluffs and
discuss the wonders in the state park.

MEMORIAL SERVICE
SONS OF VETERANS

Tie first annual Memorial service o.
the Sons of Veterans camp was hello
Sunday evening in the 2 resbyteriar
church, the chaplin, Rev. E. G. Henke,
delivering the address.
Rev. Henke opened by saying,
"This is day of memory, remember
ing the past history of our country
worthy of our fathers who made our
country" He told of patriotic and
brave men not forgetting the mothers
and wives who gave their sons and
husbands, nor the men who will
ingly offered themselves bat were
unable to go. Mr.. Henke told
what the veterans accomplished
in the way of preserving the
union, not only securing the eman-
cipation of 100000 slaves but the
principle of liberty and proving to the
world that the Republic of United
States vas no longer an experiment.
sit is land of the free and home of
the brave" These were accomplished
at a great price. There are $4,000 ne
tional cemeteries with 100000 known
dead and 150, 1000 unknown dead.
"We must honor the living soldier
by what we do for the dead and the
tears for the dead must be translated
into smiles for the living. The
greatest division of the Grand Army
is over the river. We are to treasure
the authentic history of the civil war;"
"Most of the dangers of our institu-
tions come from personal vices and
innerfolds. Therefore, noble, individ-
ual life with sacrifice and self-denial
will prove us worthy of our fathers.
With this must come respect of the
official laws of cities, states and
nations.n
"In the orient the people find their
golden age in the past. 1t would be
wrong thing to have anything bet
ter than their forefathers, but the
spirit of our American forefathers was
to appreciate the past, better the
present and make the future best.
Then the United States will be indeed
land of shops and farms, schools and
churches; land of great people and
of happy homes"
There were about 20 Grand Army
men present and about 80 Sons of
Veterans.

ten thousand feet of set line in Buff

shots were fired at the wardens by
some unknown parties in the village

was committed in the darkness of
night between the hours of IL and II
o'clock. Wardens Cleasby and Smith
Immediately landed on shore and tried
to locate those responsible for the
shooting but no trace Of them could be
found.

Sank County Bear Stories

now occupied by Fred Getchell and
the field ran back of their home 10 the
woods. Risley carried neither gun mol
club but decided to constitute himself
a party of one to join in bear hunt,
he urged his horse to the fence, tire W
OF the topmost rail, jumped his nag
over 1t and away he rode in the direc-
ton the bear had taken. It was just
at this point that Getchell saw
the rider and the hurrying bear. Two
corn cutters were at hand, Selling the
one and passing the other to the horse
man, the two neighbors went pell-mell
through the corn IN pursuit of the
game. The dry blades of corn were
brushed aside and the rider hurried on
with his companion in his very
shadow. Reaching the north end of
the tield they observed the bear ct
tempt to jump over brush fence but
was thrown back by the yielding and
rebounding nature of the obstruction.
Knives in hand, in moment the two
were upon him. Rising on his
launches he assumed an attitude of
fight. 1t was the BEARS last stand and
there he stood shoulder to shoulder
with the men. With lips curled,
paws thrown out to protect him from
the blows, he was ready 10 meet the
onslaught. Both men were ready to
strike but who should give the first
blow? There was a motion by one,
then quick stroke by the other, and
SO back and forth almost like swords
men in duel, they battled the bear.
But flesh is no match for steel and the
deed was soon done.

LIVING HIGH IN IDAHO

The following is an extract from a
letter written by S. r. Bentlry of Cas-
sell, who went TO Harrison, Idaho,
recently. The letter in part is as
follows:
[ left Cassell in the morning and
reached Baraboo about 4 o'clock IN the
afternoon. L left ST. Paul about 10
O'Clock the next morning.
[ saw some beautiful country in
Minnesota and crossed North Dakota.
There are fine farms in the Red River
Valley. Saw some "Rad Lands" in
North Dakota and Montana; also some
good land and some mountains.
Way up the Yellowstone we came in
sight of snow covered mountains and
the wind came chill, real cold, from
them.
At Bazema tunnell we reached a
height of $3.50 feet above sea level. [
felt as though had been running and
wanted to get my breath.
We went down with rush into the
Galatin Valley and then up again I'M
til it was very difficult to breathe.
When reached Spokane took the
electric line TO Occur d. Alene, and
then by steamer to Harrison.
[ am not much in love with the
country yet, although it is beautiful.
Too much Rocky mountains, Every
thing is high, from Is to 100 per cent
higher than in Wisconsin, but there is
money to be made by the man who
has vim.
