Sixty Years a Resident of Dane Co.

Mrs. Mary Cleary, who died at her
home near North Bristol last Saturday,
was woman of remarkable character,
and of whom we can justly say with
respect and reverence, she has done
woInan's noblest work, that of raising
family of children who are a credit
to their native state.
Two of her sons, Frank and Charles,
have remained at home to care for and
comfort their mother in her declining
years. Her other two sons. Bernard
of Edgerton and George of Chippewa
Falls have frightened and enriched her
declining years with love and filial de-
votion. Her only daughter, Mrs. Geo.
Schernecker, has been untiring in her
devotion to her mother.
Mrs Cleary was born in Ireland "
years ago, but at the age of Is came
to Sun Prairie, and has since resided in
our midst, beloved by all who knew
her. She was married about so years
ago to P. Cleary of North Bristol, who
died in 1894. Besides her five children
she leaves six grandchildren, three sis
tiers and hosts of friends to mourn her
death. Her life was life of devotion
and self sacrifice Her reward will be
eternal. Sun Prairie Countryman.

New Faculty Additions at Albion.

Ernest A. Rovelstad Of Elgin, ILL.,,
has been appointed member of the
faculty at Albion academy. He is a
graduate of ST. Olaf college, North
| field, Mimi, and his recommendations
for scholarship are of high order. He
is vice-president of the Interstate
Oratorical association, and was captain
of the st. Olaf college tennis team last
spring, when it won first place in the
state of Minnesota. Mr.. Rovelstad has
also taken a prominent part in other
lines of athletic activity.
Miss Cleva Touton of Edgerton, Wis,
a graduate Of the musical department
at Lawrence college, and splendid
pianist, is to take charge of piano in
struction at the academy.
The commercial department has been
fortunate in retaining Prof. E. A.
Grimso, Valparaiso university man,
who has specialized in science, mathe-
mates and commerce. He would not
say so himself, but he is a teacher of
exceptional experience and ability.
Lectures on agricultural subjects will
be resumed this year. Two years ago
more than twenty special lectures were
given, most of them by men prominent
in agricultural lines The lectures this
year will supplement regular class
work, which will include botany and
chemistry.
A neat catalog has been issued and
will give clear outline of the classical
and scientific courses. These courses
of study have been arranged with much
care, and will be found equal to those
of academies of the first rank. The
catalog also contains cuts of the cam
pus and buildings.
The expenses connected with attend
ing Albion academy will, perhaps, seem
insignificant, when compared with the
cost of other schools, where tuition,
| room and board range from $4,000 to
| $780, 90 per annum. This school is not
conducted for the purpose of making
money, but, first and last, in the highest
interest of the young people who are in
trusted to its care. It seeks to develop
men and women of Christian character
and department 1t shields it's students
from many temptations, and is ever
mindful of the responsibilities resting
upon it.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKETS.
Continued From Page ~

have broken the long dry spell and were
an incalculable benefit to the growing
tobacco crop of Lancaster county. Hot
days and warm nights aided the rains,
and the crop has made remarkable pro-
gress lately. The drought was broken
none too soon, however, because the
tender plants were beginning to burn
up. A good deal of replanting was
done in Consequence. though this will
serve no good end unless the summer is
an unusually long one, giving time for
such late planted tobacco to have its
full growth. With the recent rains
came more or less hail, falling in vari-
Gus sections of the county in light
showers. On account of the small size
of the plants no very great damage
was done. AS this years crop was
planted fully three weeks later than
that of last year, it is going to be late
in the harvesting, and the dealers in
tend insisting that it shall be cut late,
and not until it has thoroughly ripened.
There are several reasons why the
growers should be heedful of the adj
vice given by the packers, and they re-
alize as never Hefore how Identical are
their interests and the packers. The
latter proved to be pretty indepen-
dent crowd to deal with last season,
and the same conditions that made
them so then still exist. Our growers
are very observant individuals, and
they have sat up and taken notice of a
few things.

New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July %, 1912.
The harvest of the Connecticut val
ley crop has begun and the drought has
been effectually broken. Printing of
shaded tobacco started last week on the
Griffin-N euberger plantation at Clark
vile, Conn.,, and also on the Hinsdale
Smith plantation at Feeding Hills,
Mass. Printing will be begun this week
by the Connecticut Tobacco corporation,
the largest growers of shaded tobacco
in New England, and probably by the
American Sumatra Tobacco Co. Shaded
tobacco never promised better than at
the present moment, and the prediction
is a safe one that, barring extraordin-
airy drawbacks, the 1912 Connecticut
shaded crop will be the finest leaf eyer
grown in the valley. Not drop more
rain is needed by shaded tobacco. A
shower or two will not be amiss, but
frequent or heavy rains will be an adj
verse rather than helpful factor.
Weather conditions the past week
have been remarkably favorable for
the growing crop. Following the rain
of ten days ago warm, cloudy days pre-
vailed. Beneficial showers were re-
ported in parts of the valley Thursday,
but the ground was still parched on
Sunday, when, in an all-day rain, more
than an inch of water fell. In some
districts the rainfall amounted to al
most two inches. Not in years has a
heavy rain been more timely than that
of Sunday.

Los Angeles Aqueduct Large Engi-
neering Project.

Next to the Panama canal, probably
the largest engineering job under con-
struction on this continent is the Los
Angeles, CAL, aqueduct on which j. H.
Snow, an old Fulton boy, has been en-
ployed as an engineer for the past year
or more. In a letter asking US to
change his address he gives the follow
ing information concerning his work
which will be interesting to many old
friends in this vicinity:
North Portal Of Elizabeth Tunnel, Los
Angeles Aqueduct, P. 0. Fairmont,
CAL, July Is, 1912.
Have just been sent here as construc-
ton superintendent on the construction
portal of Elizabeth tunnel on the Los
Angeles aqueduct. You must know OF
this tunnel, it is and ITO miles in
length and passes beneath Elizabeth
lake. A gigantic reservoir is to be
built at the north portal, which will re-
quire 1000, 900 cubic yards of earth and
25, 900 cubic yards of concrete (the lat
ter for core wall, spillway and water
tower) to construct. The area of the
reservoir will be nearly one square
mile, and the hydraulic grade will be
so feet above the portal of the tunnel.
We are just organizing our forces, have
been here but two weeks, have a good
camp, 20 residence homes, the bunk
houses leach to accommodate $50 mem !,
machine shops, power house, wagon
and blacksmith shop, storehouse, bath
house with hot and cold water, shower
and tub baths and 300 lockers for
clothes, reading rooms with 1000 books
and not tent in camp-all good sub
stantial buildings; entire camp lighted
with electricity. Will install four steam
shovels, one operated by electricity
(the latter handles dipper which will
contain % cubic yards of materially :.
The other three are oil burners. Will
work " large dump wagons There are
reasons why cars are not practicaD 4,
and PIG mules (6 mules being used to
draw two wagons), and about $50 men.
The work must be completed March /,
therefore we will probably work nights
a part of the time. Come out and make
me visit. Yours truly,
