 Coming from Wiota. Wisconsin, when Juneau was but a struggling vii. lage, Col. Vim with the president eye of a prophet, looked to the future and determined to make the place his home. He engaged in business for a number of years and acquired ,- erable property in what is at the best part of the business section of town as well as mining interests.
