 The story Of Col Millard's early life reads like romance. The thread of paihos winds through ii rom the time that a second marriage or his father threw him iu contact with an ili.tempered step-brothcr until he rose from the humble station of cook in a Wisconsin logging camp to posi- tion of wealth and influence
 Col Willard was born in Barraboo, Wisconsin on May 5. 1S5o His father was a descendant Of tho French Hu. genots. His mother was from Wales. When @ babe Of two years he was left motheriess. the youngest or seven children While his iather was well educated he was poor. and Young Mil. lard. although ambitious Go learn of thc world and it's ways. had hard struggle for an education. One day along in 1865 his father remarried. the new mother being Q widow with two children. boy and a girl. The boy attempted to bully Young Willard. There was a clash and the motherless boy triumphed. That night he stole away from home. never Go return Co stay
 In the winter he worked as @ cook in the lumber camps; in the summer he drove logs and cruised in the for ests. At the age Of 20 he was made foreman Of a logging camp and at 2t entered the employment of the Wey- erhanser-Aiississippi Logging & Tim Der Company. operating extensively in Wisconsin's pine forests
 Senator Willard dates the com- meucement of his real education from that time. He bought technical books and studied rengiously and soon be came an expert land surveyor and civ u engineer. constructing many dams and railroads for his employers. Ai- ter ten years with the company he launched a timber brokerage and soon had accumulated a fortune. Then dis astor overlook his bank account Be- cause he had been instrumental in se- curing the passage of a labor-lien act by the Wisconsin Legislature. his bro kerage was ruined by boycott.
