State Forester E. NJ Griffith has is
sued a statement as to the work going
on in the state parks. The following
paragraph pertains to the one at Bara-
boo:
In the Devils Lake park work was
started last year. The park has been
cleaned of underbrush, trails have
been laid out, camp sites have been
plated and house for the superin-
tendent is being built. 1t is also plan

For the fourth time blue birds have
built nest in mail box at the home Of
Robert Koenig some distance southwest
of Baraboo The box was accidentally
struck by a wagon once and so bent
that an opening remained. The birds
four or more years ago decided to nest
there and again the box is inhabited.
Mr.. Koenig does not know that they
are the same birds, but they probably
are Five eggs are in the nest and no
doubt as many little ones will see the
first light of day there.
Last year robins built nest on the
porch at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H.
TX. Page on Ash street and
this year another nest has appeared.

haunts for nesting. Strange their little
heads contain sense enough to find the
way from some southern state to the
place they like best.

from Plain where, with the assistance
of others, lines were run in order to
make plat of the village. Although
there has been village there for a

two cases. The descriptions are not
always clear in the deeds and by platt-

made more easy.

feated Merrimack school nine by a

ceived new Nitrogen lamp which will
be on exhibition at his office at the
