OFFICERS CHOSEN
FOR FAIR SOCIETY
Horse Racing to Be Revived at
the Next Fair.
Believed That the Night Fair Will Be
Abandoned, Because of Other
Varied Attractions.

At the annual meeting of Grant
County Agricultural society, held on
December 8, a report of the last
meeting was made by the retiring
officers. The treasurer showed that
in the matter of receipts and dis
bursements the event of last Septem-
Der broke about even.
Much discussion was had regarding
the night fair, and while no definite
action was taken there seemed to be
sentiment that it should not be
repeated. Because of the counter
attractions down town, which seem to
draw young people, the night show
on the fair grounds did not prove to
be the drawing card it was expected
to be. Between the theatre and the
dance, there were too few left unpro-
vided with entertainment to make the
night fair financially profitable, not
withstanding the excellent quality of
the fireworks and other special
features that were presented by the
management.
This matter, together with the re-
vival of horse racing, will go to the
newly-elected set of officers. The
retiring officers say that the senti-
ment in favor of races is very strong,
many patrons of the event seeming
to feel that without racing there is
no real fair.
The following officers were elect
ed: w. j. Bailie, president; Lee
D. Eastman, first vice president; E.
j. Austin. second vice-president; V.
L. Showalter, treasurer; L. A.
Clark, secretary; R. C. Willis.
general superintendent and w. P.
Rowdon, marshal. These do not take
hold of affairs until January 1, 1915.
AS has already been announced,
the fair for 1915 will be held week
earlier than has been usual; the dates
claimed being September z, 8, 9 and
10.

TRIBUTE TO MEMORY
OF PATRICK hartley
Obituary Written by His Friend
and Business Partner.
Faithful Review of the Life of Prom
inent Pioneer Citizen of West
Grant--OId-time Banker.

Patrick BARLEY was born in the
county of Sligo, Ireland, Jan. 19, 1841
a son of Miles BARLEY and Bridget
Boyle. Eight years later his par
ents with three of their six children
emigrated to the United States.
Shortly afterwards Patrick and IN
care of his uncle, Michael Boy lie,
and Mrs. Michael Sunney, started for
the United States, taking the steamer
Shamrock" to Liverpool, then the
'Bodecia" to New York, where he
rejoined his parents. While crossing
the Atlantic he was very sick. Mrs.
Sunney was kind to him and all his
life he remembered it with gratitude,
showing, even at that early age, one
of his pronounced traits of character
fidelity to his friends.
Along in the SOS the comforts
which we possess now were almost
unknown, and the BARLEY family
had fewer of them than most of their
neighbors. Consequently MIR. Bart

Damages for William Burgess

While working in the Lancaster
city stone quarry, July 80, last,
William Burgess was struck in the
eye by bic of the rock he was taking
out. 1t is claimed that Inflammation
followed the injury and that finally
he lost the use of the member entirely.
In accordance with the law govern
ing personal injuries in Wisconsin,
Mr.. Burgess made written demand
for compensation from the state, and
the matter was referred to the In
dustrial Commission, which has
jurisdiction in such matters. After
a hearing before the commission,
$1O03.20 was awarded and Grant
county was ordered to pay this sum.
County Clerk Mccoy paid an in
stallment of the award to Burgess
the other day, amounting to $119. ID,
and is to hand over the balance in
sums of $25.08 each month until the
total of $884.07 is liquidated. This
will carry the payments through two
years and eleven months, with a
remnant for the last month in the
third wear.
At the time of the injury, William
Burgess was working on rock for
the county roads.

ington. MANY of the middle aged
men and women now reading this
obituary have gone to school to him,
and all of them admit his ability as an
instructor and acknowledge that his
training has been constant help to
them. Many a time some old scholar
of his has come into the bank, grasp
ed his hand and told him his teaching
had been a large factor in what sue
cess his pupil had achieved. 1t must
have given him glow of pleasure,
though he never boosted of it. He
used to say he felt more at home in
the school room than any other place
else in the world
Feb. 1, 1888, he and Peter Wood
house established the Woodhouse. &
BARLEY Bank in this village, and
since that time Mr.. BARLEY has been
in constant daily attendance at the
institution, which was his pride and
whose success and honorable stand ding
was to him sacred joy. His bank
is a member of the American Bank
ers' Association and the Wisconsin
Bankers Association, and he was a
regular attendant at the group meet
ings, where he made the acquaintance
of nearly all the bankers of the state.
His judgment was sought and TAX
en- by his brother bankers and his ut
terances were listened to with res
pect. His commemorative address in
honor of the late John Holley of La
Crosse, delivered at group meeting
at Madison last summer, is literary
gem. Who could have foreseen that
the well preserved and athletic look
ing Pat. BARLEY would be himself
the subject of a similar address at
the next meeting?
I'VE shall meet, but we shall miss him,
There will be one vacant chair"
Mr.. BARLEY was of an extremely
social disposition. He dearly loved
to chat with his old friends, and
he certainly could make himself
agreeable. His cheerful greeting
and his good natured raillery will be
sorely missed By his numberless ac-
quaintances.

Christmas Homecoming.

One of the great features of Christ
mas is the home meeting. How
many hundreds of thousands who have
been separated throughout the year
will now be gathered together once
more under the old home roof 1t is
we'll that II should be so. 1t warns
the heart to read of the trains to the
north and the trains To the south,
east and west being filled with people
going home for their Christmas
holidays. 81 am told" said Glad
stone once, "that the strain of our
commercial life has loosened even the
bonds that unite the family; that in
the struggle for existence the par
ents forget the child and the child
forgets the parents. Well, read
the other day that some hundreds of
thousands of people were leaving
London to spend their Christmas holi
days at home. That is a pleasant
and practical refutation of much of
this pessimism 1t is. If the
parents did not think of the childr zen
they would not have them home, and
If the boys and girls did not think of
the parents they would not go home.
Blood is a great deal thicker than
water, and nothing will alter it.

Emigration From Europe

A gigantic plan, fostered by every
railroad in the United States, to
provide farms for immigrants driven
to this country at the conclusion of
the European war, was launched in
Chicago Tuesday. The plan is to be
carried out by the Railroad In
dustrial Improvement Association,
which is made up of Industrial
600 miles of railroad. A two-day's
convention of the organization was
held at the Hotel La Sale. The
movement was outlined by F. H.
La Baume, president of the associa~
ton, and industrial agent of the Nor.
folk and Western Railroad. He saids
''The farms of Belgium, Western
France, Austria and perhaps Germany
will have been devastated at the
close of the war, and their owners, if
alive, hopelessly bankrupt. They
will face enormous taxes. America
will be their mecca. The railroads
of the United States, the heaviest
owners of good farming land, are
planning to stake these desirable
farmer immigrants to small farms by
the tens of thousands if necessary.
The minimum farms will be from
two to ten acres. The railroads will
sell the farms on credit and advance
enough money to install farming
equipment.

DEATH OF MRS. NJ. WHEEL
Well Known and Respected Resi-
dent of Eureka County Passes
Away Thursday

Word was received in Eureka
Thursday forenoon announcing the
death of Mrs. Margaret Winzell at
the Winzell ranch near Alpha Station,
Eureka County, early that morning
from dropsy and complications.
When her condition became serious,
DIR. Craig of Buckhorn, the attending
physician, asked that another doctor
be called, and DIR. West of Elko was
summoned. After consultation it
was determined that with her low
vitality and weak heart the Ease was
hopeless.
Undertaken P. H. HUI, and his
son, c. H. HUI, left Eureka about
noon in the HUI auto accompanied
by Mrs. Mary Fine for the Winzell
ranch, and returned Friday forenoon
with the body and Frank and Miss
Katharine, son and daughter of the
deceased.
Mrs. Winzell was an old and well
known resident of Eureka County,
having lived here since her early
womanhood. She came to Eureka
shortly after she was married, where
her children were born and raised.
Many old time friends will sympa-
thize with the son and daughter in
their bereavement.
While Mrs. Winzell's health has
been falling for some length of time,
she had remarkable vitality and an
indomitable will that has carried her
through several serious illnesses,
from which she apparently recovered
and was able to again engage in the
active pursuits of ranch life and bust
ness in general.
Since her late husband Joseph ID.
Winzell's death in 1886, she has sue
~cessfully engaged in r~anching, stock
raising and other investments, and
has generally been credited with hav-
ing shrewd business sense and judg-
ment. Those friends who knew her
best sounded her warmest praise
and acclaimed her a strong character
and a good friend.
The funeral is being held this after
noon under the auspices of Iphigenia

HAMILTON ORES VIA EUREKA

Toward Smelters This Summer

Predicted Large Tonnage viii Move
Toward Smsltsss This Summer
Ely Record: James Willoughby.
formerly superintendent Of theI Gil
roux mines, arrived home this week
from Hamilton. where he has been
connected with the Hamilton Power,
Mining and Transportation Company
since last December. He states that
the company has n of the best
prospects for a big mine that he has
seen in several years, but since Winter
set in the management has exper-
fenced much trouble in getting ore
hauled to the railroad at Eureka,
which was due to the heavy snowfall.
The management has an abundance
of ore on the dumps sacked and ready
for shipment, but teams cannot be
secured at the present time. Assoon
as the roads r in good condition, a
five-ton truck will be put on, which
will materially assist in solving the
transportation problem.
Mr.. Willoughby states that John
Nyce, who is associated with A. B.
Witcher in the lease on the Jennie A.
property, has completed the erection
of buildings for the accommodation
of men at the mine, and is nov ready
to commence taking out ore. The
mine has 10000 tons of ore in sight,
and as soon as the roads are free of
snow, shipments to Eureka will be
commenced. He predicts that the
camp will show much activity during
the present year.
