Last evening the University engi-
neers, who have been camping at
Devils Lake, held their farewell
banquet and in spirit of appre-
citation combined with fun pre-
scented their instructor, Prof. l.. 5.
Smith, with large loving cup. The
cup is interesting because IL was man

1t is made of galvanized iron and is
artistically decorated with three tin
handles. A presentation speech was
given by one of the student body after
which Prof. Smith arose TO the occa-

A complaint has been made from
Baraboo TO Attorney General Owen at
Madison that liquor is being sold at
Devils Lake State park, according to
the Madison Democrat. The attorney

mile of the state park. The act was
passed by the present legislature. Ar
rests have been made in the past for
selling liquor shipped from Baraboo
brewery aud now that there is new
law which applies especially to state
parks, the violators should be arrested
and given the limit of fines or impris-

The Old Jail.
And The Cd Jail in the next block!
Right we'll | recall being scared out
of several years growth, through an
uncle making believe to incarcerate
me therein, when it's foundation walls
had scarce reached the surface. [ do
not know the exact date this structure
was begun, but surely it must be quite
as remote as 1856.
To the westward of Baraboo was
whst seemed TO me at that far-distant
period wide expanse of unexplored
forest. This was one of numerous
similar places where we youngsters used
to gather hazel and hickory nuts-such
nuts, and upon more than one oc-
casion we became helplessIy lost in
the forest. / remember my father
! used to shoot parJridges, squirrels,
, rabbits and other small game al
through this country, that extended
almost TO the limits of the court house
park on the east and to the present
wooden mills-then known as the
Island-Westward
In those eventful days when things
of real Importance transpired, was
constructed what was called for many
years the "new bridge" before which
time, | recollect, land 1 am surprised
that [ do s0) because certainly l could
not have been over six years, that a
ferry was maintained a short distance
below the sight of this bridge, which
ferry boat gave access to the extensive
brickyard on the south bank into the
primeval forest, uo man knew, it
seemed, how far beyond. On the
'south side' by the way, was Pratt's
pasture and a famous place it was for
| butternutting, while along a steep
bank hard by, was grand place for
luscious red raspberries; though
still better patch was on the steep hill-
side TO the east of what was the Case
farm, at that time but partially
cleared of a heavy forest growth.
Right we'll / remember the splendid
hard maple sugar-bush that it was
attempted to save and operate, until it
gradually died out, by reason OF losing

properly stated, through losing the

MY BOYHOOD

we were boys"
"There were giants in those days"
This figure of speech, surely, one may
safely use on occasion such as recalling
"reminiscences and particularly, [
farcy, when one writes of Baraboo,
incompatible Baraboo! The Baraboo
(let me hasten TO add of from thirty
10 sixty years ago.
BarabOo River Clear in Those Days
When L was q boy of ten, the BaIa-
200 was indeed a majestic stream. 1t
was broader. deeper and almost with
out exception, ear eyed, and it teemed
with nightly fishes of sturdy tug on
line and ROD. In those vernal days its
waters we e rarely discolored by
II shet or flood because there were
-,Hn relatively few tliled fields, dee p
worn roads, furrOWed banks and no
lily railway cuts or fills. Only later
sra was its current burdended with
miH waste, slabs and dust from saw
mills, oils and refuse from wooden
mills, stains and filth from tannories
or UCher industries along its unsulied
e course.
Without restoring to Muuchausen
stories, one may safely say BarabOo
was, in those days, veritabIe "Dorf
i'm WaId" for it was forest bounded
taaud tree studded and, as [ recall, the
lrees Gf1ourished down to the very main
streets, yes, even in the fifties, it was
O. great tOwn-Old Baraboo!
There Was Trail
5On the river bank just below, there
@wss, likewise a jungle-like growth of
young oaks and kindred trees, of no
very great stature, through which
wound a trail OF pathway, which was,
at that time, shortcut Sup town"
from the mill and what was InvarI-
ably spoken of as "under-the-hill,"
and for aught / know to the contrary,
1T is still thus designated. 1t is per-
haps worthy of mention, that thus
originated in England, the patronymlc
f'underhill." All the district to the
west OF the courthouse park was then
more or less thickIy tree-covered, and
in an oak grove in this scantly de-
veloped section of Baraboo, many a
church celebration and public picnic,
of enormously long tables, with their
generous burdens of the substantially
good things of early pioneer days, was
held. I know those who sampled
such Twin will bear me out, when
say, that in these degenerate days,
there is nothing that may, relatively
speaking, be considered worthy of
honorable mention in comparison.
All the hillside between the present
splendid bridge structure, and along
EShe river bank, extending northw ward
GosSecond street was tangle of under
brush, with many a primeval forest
tree. while round about, were not
above half-a-dozen homes.

rLaple Wood at ST. a Cord.

This splendid "oody maple" making
ideal fuel In the days of wood stoves,
was hauled to town for many years by
Case, ST., and for aught L know to the
contrary, there sold for something like
81 per cord. Only the very best was
thus marketed, for the sjority of the
trees were rolled into enormous pyres,
to he ruthlessly burned during 'clear-
ing operations" to most expeditiously
and cheaply prepare a wonderfully
fertile and deep soil for plow and
crops.
Older residents recall numberless
stumps that thickly punctuated the
district on the south side up to thirty
Ave or forty years ago, at about which
time they had almost disappeared,
through action of the elements, aided
in no small degree surely, by that
modern stump puller-dynamite.
Snakes.
And the snakes! Enormous felloWs

trailed to town behind farmers team

a wholesome dread of them, for very
generally we were barefooted in snake

The territory between Baraboo and
Devils Lake, excepting for a half

original forest, where, at summer
noon day, in places, the SUMS rays
scarce penetrated. And Crawford's

Bassett's Mill

There were mighty booms Jim
pounds) of pine logs from the Baraboo
pinery just above the present iron
bridge. Such log accumulations fed
busting, ever noisy saw mills that
for most part, ran both night and day.
There were also numerous co-operage
shops or barrel Factories along the
river for shipping P. A. Bassett' s
famous flour. The mill was marvel
in its immensely to the younger ele-
ment of Baraboo's population, at
least. One OF the seven wonders of
the world it seemed to my eyes when
we climbed to it's roof and, with sus-
pended breath and clenched fists,
marched from end to end of the rallied
pathway on it's peak, but we were
not afraid or dizzy-N-o indeed!
