FROM MIDNIGHT SUNLAND
Patrick Judge, IA Years Absent, Returns

Last week and the week before
there was in town man wearing a
coonskin cap and Indian moccasins,
besides other apparel, and he was
often seen on the streets To old
time residents he was we'll known,
but to those who have come to Lam
caster within the last Is years he
was very much of stranger.
He was Patrick Judge Che persisted
in introducing himself as "Old Pat.
judge, former resident Of this
county, but now living in the north
ern part of Alaska. Not in the
Klondike, as is often stated, but
north of that now rather thickly
nopulated region of which Fairbanks
is about the center. He says the
region is known as the Koyukuk
country, although the most recent
aliases give it as the Endicott range.
For IA years Mr.. Judge has been
there, and more than once it has
been currently reported in this section
that he was dead. Wiseman is his
town, and by his story it is no city.
There are two stores and few log
houses to make up the place.
Another town in his region is known
by the suggestive name OF Coldfoot'
BEETLES is the most important city
thereabouts. it being at the head Of
navigation on the Koyukuk river, a
tributary of the Yukon.
Mining is the principal industry
there, Of course, although Mr.. Judge
says he is doing a thriving business
at gardening. This raising garden
truck 100 miles north of the Arctic
Circle SOUNDS like joke, but we are
assured it is serious business and a
success. Mr.. Judge grows potatoes,
when he goes in for real profit. But
carrots, beets, cabbages and lettuce
come on nicely and produce big yields
in the three months summer. And
a crop of any kind Of food vegetable
brings a price that looks big in Grant
County.
One year, Mr.. Judge says, ne
spaded up an acre of good land for
potatoes. There are teams in that
country, but they were busy with
other work, SO Mr.. Judge took to the

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
AT EMMANUEL CHURCH
Attend Special Service Last Sunday,
the Beginning of Golden Jubi-
lee Period.

Last Sunday, at Emmanuel church,
there was given special service con-
sistent with the approaching golden
jubilee of the order of the knights of
Pythias. The members of the local
lodge turned out as many as 60
strong, and marched in a body to the
church. and there sat together, &C.
cupying the entire front half of the
seating capacity of the room.
After the regular service had been
read, the Rev. w. A. Munday de-
livered a short address of welcome.
Then was sung the Pythian ode, to
the tune. America" in which the
congregation joined heartily. The
sermon was in keeping with the occa-
sion and brought expressions of hearty
approval from the members of the
order who participated in the services.
The rough weather did not in any
way dampen the ardor Of the knights
The music furnished by the choir was
spoken of as especially fine.
On Thursday evening there will be
golden jubilee celebration given by
the local lodge, ct Knapp's rink, to
which large number Will be invited.
And as the high character of the en-
tertainment furnished by the Knights
of Pythias is we'll established in this
community, it is expected that a
large company will be in attendance.

spade. From that acre he harvested
100 crates of potatoes. each crate being
100 lbs. of tubers And this crop
brought him $18 per crate-$18OO for
the yield of an acre is putting it over
Grant County land.
Prices on food stuffs in that section
of Alaska are not what they were a
few years ago. When Mr.. Judge
first went there -four sold for 500 per
100 pounds. dollar a pound Now
it has reached the bargain counter
and brings only $16 per hundred
pounds. Sugar is worth 1922 per 100.
In the Endicott range gold is
mined, and the process is quite
different from that practiced else
where so far as we know. AS the
ground is froze to bedrock, usual
depth of 100 feet, except for a few
feet on the surface that thaws out
every summer, shafts must be sunk to
BEDROCK for it is there the precious
metal lies BY means of steam
pipes the frost is thawed out of the
earth in the proposed shaft and the
digging goes on without any con-
sideration for the weather. When
bedrock is struck gold is found in the
crevasses of the rock, Some of the
nuggets are large.
When Mr.. Judge came out early
last fall there was so little water in
the Koyukuk river that steamers were
not running to BEETLES. so he and
small party had to come 500 miles in
row boat. Then they reached the
Yukon where steamers were afoat,
although water in that great stream
was uncommonly low. The usual
fare from BEETLES to st. Michael is
$50, nearly every foot. by steamer.
Patrick Judge landed in Lancaster
from County Sligo, Ireland, July 3,
1864. Until he went to the frozen
north he was a resident of Grant
County, He still has very warm
place in his heart for this blessed
county, and could not bring himself
to go from here late last week until
he had seen every one of his old
cronies. He was accompanied by his
son, whose home is in Montana. They
left Saturday for the west.

ANOTHER FINE PLAY At
HATCH'S OPERA HOUSE
The Rosary" Is Played Before
a Large Audience.
Then, as the Company Had an Open
Date, 1t Was Given Again
Thursday Evening.

Last week Wednesday evening there
was full house in the Hatch opera
house to witness the performance OF
"The Rosary Seldom has so large
an audience gathered in that popular
resort, and of late Mr.. Hatch's efforts
to please his patrons have been met
with heavy response from his
patrons.
This was the second time the play
has been given here. but year has
elapsed since the former presentation.
Considering the rather light quality
of the drama, it continues to hold
we'll with patrons of the play houses.
There is in it much of the human
element, together with a wholesome
religious sentiment and a plenty of
suffering. It's run a few years ago
was almost phenomenal, and it is still
a good puller.
From the time the curtain first rose.
until the very end of the play, the
splendid audience was interested and
responsive. There was applause to
satisfy the most exacting actor, and
the company showed its appreciation
of the good support. 1t was very
evident that they were doing their
level best to please. As an entire
compa2y-tsking the players as a
whole-it seems to be generally agreed
that this was one the very best
troupes that has visited Lancaster for
a long time. There was scarcely a
''poor stick in the eight persons
that were presented on the stage.
And, what is more. this company
brought as good scenery as has been
witnessed here for many a moon.
Especially fine was the closing scene,
the new chapel. And the local
orchestra put up some mighty fine
music for the entertainment of the
audience between acts.
By reason of a mixing Of dates.
the company remained over the second
night. and repeated the show on
Thursday evening. OF course the
house was small but it was a very ap-
Fpreciative audience. 1t is reported
from the hotel at which this cor pany
stayed that they were an exceptional
ly agreeable and dignifed collection
of young persons.

Growing Lots of Corn.

The fact that boy in Fond du Lac
county could grow more than 1913 bu
shells of corn to the acre ought to be
suggestion to all the farmers of the
state When boy can do this on
one acre, men should be able to do so
on several acres and thirteen acres
with such yield would be worth as
much as forty acres with the state
average of the same year. This means
that the other 81 acres could be devot-
ed to other crops. Is it not worth
while to consider growing better
yields, and finding out how to do it

excellent record, we are of the opinion
that she missed one or two. But it is
not intended to hold these contestants
to literal fultillment of the terms.
Those who made the best records and
made them first, will be awarded the
prizes. Under this liberal ruling,
Mrs. w. j. Richardson will get the
first prize for those residing outside
Lancaster city.
Leona Pagel, who lives in the
country but is in town attending
school, is awarded second prize. She
landed with 81 letters. And from
these 81 letters she manufactured a
sentence of % words. Miss Pagel
sent in a very creditable sheet, and
her sentence was the third longest.
In Lancaster, Alpha Roth was the
first to arrive with a pretty good
guess. She had long list of letters.
but some of them did not count.
However, Miss Roth did some excel
lent work and showed that she has
in her good possibilities as a proof
reader. She can see where a letter
is needed. She is awarded first in
the city.
Nettie Finney had about as good a
record as has Alpha Roth, only it
came a day or two later For work
these two young women were about a
tie. Each missed a few letters, but
both did not miss the same letter.
Because she was a bit late in getting
in, Miss Finnev has been adjudged as
disqualified for first place, but she is
strong candidate for second honors
in the city. Miss Finney had a
sentence of "a words made from the
missing letters she had in her scord
she is awarded second prize in the
city.
Speaking of the number of words to
be made from the missing letters re-
minds us that Miss Bessie Murphy,
with only 10 letters in her list spun
out sentence of SO words, which is
some considerable sentence. 1t is
almost a paragraph. Khis entities

PIatteviIle Scared.

Platteville is somewhat on the
edge of a sensation, because, for
sooth, it is rumored about town there
that a part of the investigating COM
mittee of Wisconsin vice com
mission was there the other night and
found out some things about the
normal school town that are not es-
pecially fattering to its state of
public morals. The investigating
committee took in public dance and
while nothing definite is known about
what developed, there is abroad a
brooding fear that all's not we'll. It
is probable that more will be heard
of this matter before many moons.

Minister Attempts Suicide.

From Platteville comes the report
that the Rev. Mr. Leary, pastor of
the Congregational church at that
point, made an attempt to take his
own life, last Sunday night. His
throat was badly cut, but it is hoped
by his friends that he will recover,
For months he has been in bad
health, the victim of an awful
melancholy. He returned from Mexico
last week, whence he went several
months ago with the hope that the
change would benefit his health. AS
this paper goes to press it is said the
unfortunate man is not necessarily
fatally injured.

That hunt for the missing letters
in two pages of solid advertising
caused considerable amount of ex-
element among the regular readers
of The Herald, two weeks ago, and
we are informed it brought to these
pages many persons who are so be-
nighted that they do not read this
old home paper regularly. On the
whole the advertising was most clever
~ gotten up and the scheme was most
cleverly handled.
It seemed to The Herald force that
the edition was no more than mailed
when the answers began to pour in.
The first to arrive came by messenger
that patron of The Herald would
not trust the mails with her precious
missive. The person who sought to
unravel the puzzle in this first case
had not given to the matter sufficient
labor, as is evidenced by the small
number Of missing letters she located.
She could find only dozen.
But later arrivals showed more
paiustaKing work, and when Mrs. W.
]. Richardson sent in a list of 90
missing letters, all of which checked
out, it looked as if there were capable
proof readers in this community, and
in the surrounding country. Mrs.
Richardson lives on the star route
To her credit be it said. she was the
only one in all the list to discover the
missing 81 in the word 'abscesses'
in DR.. Moore's announcement. The
first So was wanting. Probably it
is generally understood that abs
cesses" is spelled "abcesses, but not
so in the dictionaries of the country.

Richardson discovered more missing
letters than any other of the con-
testants-that is, no other contestant
found sc many really missing letters.

HENRY MINK, The NEW
COUNTY HIGHWAY COM'R
Takes Special Course in Road
Building at Madison.
Gravel Again Coming Into Favor
County Buys More Heavy Ma
chinery for the Work.

Henry Mink, the newly appointed
highway commissioner was last week
in Madison attending a school of road
instruction, given under the direction
of the commissioners of public high
ways for the state of Wisconsin. He
returned Friday afternoon full Of in
formation and high purposes.
Mr.. Mink says there were several
road men present at the school, COM
ing from every county in the state,
and that the enthusiasm for better
roads ran high. The instruction
covered a wide range, but Mr.. Mink
says he was surprised that radical
notions of only a few years ago seem
to be toning down. He says he was
told that macadam was not absolutely
necessary; that good gravel will do the
business just as we'll, and where it
may be had cheaply, the cost is
practically cut in two.
A committee of the county board,
onsisting of Thomas lockwood, Ian
caster F. E. Huntington, Platteville.
and J. E. Morse. Mt Hope, was in
Madison at the same time and pur-
chased some heavy road machinery
They took on two 10 ton rollers, each
with sprinkler attachment. 8
crusher and a gasoline engine of Is
horse power capacity. The two
rollers are driven by gasoline power.
This gives to Grant County fuul
heavy road rollers. But it is a long
county from north to south. and in
spots it is wide, and there are hills
to climb in transferring a roller
from one part of the county to another.
One roller will probably be first useC
near Platteville, one at Muscoda, and
two in west side of the county.
1t is too early to predict where
read work will begin, but it is safe
even now to guess that soop after
the frost is out OF the earth IN this
section dirt will begin to fly. One
thing is already worrying Mr.. Mink.
and there will probably be a plenty OF
other worries later on. But for now
he is wondering how he can judicious'
Iy and economically spend $116 OOC
of the peoples money in road build
ing with an expense allowance OF
only $4OO.
And that is something of problem.

CITY COUNCIL HAD A
REAL BUSY SESSION
Fixes Salaries for Employees for
the Coming Year.
Also Named Election Officers to Serve
During the Next Two Years.
Allowed Numerous Bills.

Last week Tuesday evening the
city council held its adjourned meet
ing and transacted a lot of business
that was not of the routine order.
10 begin with it audited bills against
the city to the amount Of 1923. 36,
then it got down to brass tacks and
fixed salaries for the coming year.
AS sort of curtain raiser the pay
of the woman in charge of the public
waiting room was not raised. 1t was
left as before, with the addition of
such contributions as come to her.
These tips are to 60 to Mrs.
Winchell in the future so if any OF
you think her pay of 80 cents day
is too small, you may drop as many
quarters or halves or big round iron
bones into the contribution box as
are needed to relieve the pressure on
your conscience.
For the superintendent of water :
works the compensation was fixed at
$75 per month; the chief of police and
street commissioner carries compensa-
tion that amounts to $50 per month /;
night Waterman, and inspector and
reporter on lighting, three in one,
calls for an appropriation of $40 per
month. City clerk is worth 500 a
year city treasurer and collector is to
draw $3.50, whether it is worth it or
not, and city attorney 500 per year
respectively. The health officer seems
to get away with the taxpayers
money, for that job is to draw the
princely stipend of $50 a year.
After these matters of statecraft
had been disposed of the city daddles
got real busy and named election
officers for the four wards Of the city
to serve during the next two years.
They are as follows, in the first ward !:
Inspectors, D. Abrams, John Hoffman
and Eugene Whitmore. For poll
clerks James McBrien and G. F.
Dickinson were named. Ballot clerks
were George lockwood and Edgar
Grebe.
In the second ward the inspectors
are G. Il. Basford, George Muesse and
Herman Roth. The poll clerks are
Eugene Woodhouse, and John N.
Taylor; ballot clerks, John Pink and
James Woodhouse. For the third
ward the inspectors are Fl. @. Bryhan,
j. G.. Brockert and Herman Dersch.
