across the lake to the south from Mad
ison. Here on March Z, 1887, Mrs.
Gardner was born. Her father had a
trading post with the Indians and
after be gave that up they came to
Baraboo in June 1889. After brief
stay short distance north of town,
the family moved into new log cabin
which was located on the Ochsner
property at the western end of Seventh
avenue. The house was of logs, had
one room, half window and no floor.
Their nearest neighbors were at Por-
tage and Sank City. Her father built
a saw mill and she recalls 81 ting on
the bank of the Baraboo river with
her Indian mother and sister when
the old mill was washed away. She
says that her mother never signed the
deed to their land and she believes she
has some rights in the water power
property which lies between Barab0o
and Lyons. Afterwards they moved
from one place TO another and when
making trip to Prairie du CHEN to
receive the government payment, her
mother and sister went with number
OF Indians to Minnesota and Mrs.
Gardner never saw her mother or sister
again. Margaret was but five or six
when her parents separated. For a
time she lived with families at Bara-
boo and Newport, went to sch oil in
the first building erected for education
al purposes in the village and married
Charles Perry. They moved to Madi-
son where the first white child lies
buried. Afterwards they moved to
Nebraska, then to Kansas and after
wards back to Nebraska. At Wayne
she married j. HI. Gardner a few years
ago and she now resides with her
daughter. There are two other daugh-
ters living, the only son dying in 1902.
Her mother died about 1875 and is
buried in the reservation in Nebraska.
Hannah died and was buried in
Minnesota. Not long ago Mrs. Gard
ner visited Barahoo after an absence of
about sixty years. The only thing
that looked familiar was the bend In
the river between Baraboo and Lyons.
Mrs. Gardner writes that although
she has pleasant home yet her hap
piest days were those spent upon the
banks of the beautiful Baraboo river
and playing about her fathers mill.
Such in brief, is the story of one who
celebrated her birthday an Thursday
and who is tbs last of the first family
to es ablish home in this city.

cent of the total, and now it is proba-

cent OF the total, and now 1t IS proba-
bly, about As per cent.
With hundreds of millions Of acres
Of land uncultivated we have the spec
tacle Of hundreds Of thousands Of hu.
man beings crowded into the cities.
while year after year the human tide
rolls restlessly in from the country to
furnish more consumers and decrease
the number Of producers.
To prove thatia relation exists be-
tween the question Of population and
roads the following illustration may be
cited:
In twenty-five counties selected from
eastern, southern. western and north
western states It has been found that
only ~ per cent Of roads were i'm.
proved in 1904. These same counties
show an actual decrease in population
averaging 3.112 for each county for the
ten year period 1S9O-19O0. Twenty-Five
other counties located In. the same
states containing 40 per cent Of i'm.
proved roads show an actual increase
in population for each county Of g., O95.
Whether good roads cause good
schools. or vice versa, it is true that
they exist together and that one Of the
most important reasons for their i'm.
provement is their effect on school at
tendance in the country. If the coun.
try schools are to have a maximum eff
fciency in training and instruction the
children must be afforded facilities for
reaching them. With improved roads
the graded school and the consolidated
school will replace the little one room
one teacher schools so prevalent in
many sections of the country.
The possibilities Of region of i'm.
proved roads are made apparent by
