THE BRIDGE AT MERRIr1ACK.

Naturally. the people in the Merri,
mack region are intensely interested
in the project of the construction of q
bridge across the Wisconsin river at
that point. Meetings are being held
in the neighborhood and public senti-
ment is being crystallized which must
in time lead to the consummation of
this enterprise.
A bridge certainly should be built
there. Indeed, when the Northwes-
tern railway was empowered to cross
the river at Merrimack there should
have beenscoupled with it's privilege
the requirement that a wagon-bridge
form part of its undertaking. Now,
however, a bridge must be built indie
pendently.
1t. is large and costly project for
in either direction from Merrimack,
and those in Columbia county this
side, but such a bridge by no means
should be considered as local. IL af-
fects to an important degree a large
portion of the territory both of Co.
lumbia and Sank counties and far
down likewise, into Dane county,
eveniif not to the state capital itself.
Lodi. Dane, Waunakee, Poynette,
Leeds and Arlington all have much
involved. SO has Baraboo, beyond.
At present there is no bridge span
ming the Wisconsin for fifteen miles
in either direction from Merrimack.
Intercommunication between the OPP
posite sides of the river over that

THE LIFE STORY OF JUDGE
DONOVAN,
JUDGE

DONOVAN.
Judge Anthony Donovan died in
Madison on the first day of the year
and the story of his life should be an
inspiration to every young man of the
commonwealth. Born in poverty in
Rhode Island, he came to Madison
with his parents when but boy. At
the age OF Is he enlisted in the army
fighting the south, joining Pennsyl-
vania regiment because his father was
opposed to his enlisting on account of
his youthful years. After his army
service he found bis way TO the forge.
Up to this time he could scarcely read
and cared little for books, spending
his time idly about the streets just as
many boy is doing today. One
night he received so much inspiration
at a lecture that he determined to Sc
cure an education. He purchased
standard literature and legal works.
For number of years be kept law
books in his shop and during the dull
hours perused his Blackstone. At
the age of forty he hung up his black
smith apron and entered the law
school of the university. In his earlier
years he was an inveterate smoker
but with the widening of his horizon
he forsook the habit in order to have
money to purchase books. AS result
of this system he had one of the finest
libraries of standard authors and of
law books in the state. After his
graduation he entered politics and in
making his first campaign for munich
pal judge he walked from farm to farm
to visit his blacksmith patrons OF
former years. He won in the cam
paign and was on the bench for twenty
years. Graduating from the school of
hard knocks and taking his degree at
the university at time when most
men are at the crest of their successes,
Judge Donovan's life teaches a great
lesson. For him it was never too late
to seek the way TO elevate himself
into greater zone of intellectually.

whole extent OF some thirty miles
must be either by the bridges at Pratt
RE du Sac and Sank or by the bridge
at Portage The inconvenience of
this isol alton for hundreds of farmers
and tradesmen on both sides of the
river is altogether too great to Justly
continue longer. It is their plain du-
ty to have the barrier removed. A
bridge at Merrimack is the natural
solution and it is reasonably obliga-
tory upon the counties OF Sank ano
Columbia in general, and particularly
the communities more indirectly re-
lated to the project, to get together
with earnestness and not cease their
activities until the bridge is reality
Transit by road from the capital to
Baraboo ana the northwest via the
Merrimack valley is something greatly
to be desired. Readily such a route
leading easily and directly to the
Kirkland shore of Devils lake could
not fail to become highly popular to
automobilists-an Incidental circum-
stance, but of no little Importance in
view of the requirement of Devils lax e
as state park. The project is one
warranting any cooperation which the
state highway commission may be
able to give; and, indeed, the state
itself might go to the utmost limit in
advancing an undertaking which in
any event must be pretty burdensome
upon the people alone of the region
most directly interested. Now that
the agitation is we'll under way, moth
ing should stay it. The bridge ought
to be an actually within two or three
years.
Only few miles north of Merri-
mack in the great quartzite bluffs, are
many exquisite and romantic gens
and gorges whose easy accessibility
would draw to them vast summer
pilgrimage. At present they are
tucked away almost out of sight and
out of mind except to a relatively few
people living not far roundabout. They
lie practically in a direct route be-
tween Merrimack and Devils lake and
should be visited every year by thou
sands instead of by hundreds as now
is the case. The I4-mile lake that is
to be formed of the river at Merrimack
by the dam in course of construction
at Prairie du Sac many miles below,
undoubtedly will become one of the
finest summer resorts in the entire
state,-a wonderful fish preserve bord-
cred by picturesque scenery and with
launching and conoeing possibilities OF
largest variety. This creation is GER
tain to strengthen and popularize the
whole section. This wonderful lake
and Devils lake so near, together with
the charming hooks in the bluffs, will
form a combination of attractions that
cannot fail to bring all that region OF
country into notable prominence with
tourists. The Merrimack bridge is a
prime requisite to the fullest realiza-
ton of the delights that nature and art
unite to offer in that locality. -Madi-
son Democrat.
