MANSION HOUSE SOLD
LANCASTER LANDMARK JUNKED
FOR OLD LUMBER IN
TERESTING HISTORY.

An auctiOneer mounted a SOapbOX
and in a matter-of-fact manner auc-
toned off an old building Saturday af-
ternoon. Bidders were few, but final
ly one stepped forward and named the
sum of sos. The hammer fell and the
old Mansion House building passed
into the hands of a Spectator.
The location of the building (oppo-
site the city halD is known to all. In
1866 when William Starr came to Lam
caster it was the leading hotel In
those days it had a gorgeous double
porch, bar, and (some say poker
room upstairs.
Dignitaries staged in and out Of Lam
caster then and Governor Dewey fire.
quented its lobby and chatted with the
1oungers. Gen. Z. S. Grant is sup
posed to have stopped at the old Man
sion house in those days just as he
stopped at most other places around
Galena. his home, as Grant was in the
tanning business before the civil war.
In the old, roaring days the Mansion
House was a gay old place. Court time
filled it with citizens who came in
great numbers to attend the big event
of the year. Later the old building be-
came a residnc and finally was divided
into two stores. The lumber in it was
mostly Of oak and those buying of
George Vail, the purchaser, will find
some sturdy timber The laths, for
instance, are said to be Of half-inch
oak split with an axe.
Few are the old buildings in Ian
caster now. Col. Clark's home, the
Dewey residence opposite and maybe
few more. Soon a modern building
will be on the old corner near the city
hall and the old landmark will be only
a memory.

MORE MEN CALLED LIGHT FROST FRIDAY
TEMPERATURE DROPPED DURING
NIGHT, CAUSING FREEZE-NO
DAMAGE DONE.

The extreme cold of last Friday af-
ternon and evening developed a mills
frost in the "Wee sma' hours" of early
Saturday. The bottoms as usual were
hit the most, but no great damage
seems to have been done. The low
est temperature recorded was AZ, with
a top Of IS for Friday.
Wausau reported the lowest temper
allure in the state last Saturday morn
ing. There the thermometer dropped
to 38 degrees, but no damage to crops
was sustained. Around Lancaster a
peculiar condition obtained In the
deep ravines no frost was noticed Go
ing back up the small draws leading
into the ravines ''nips" were found
about halfway up and the grass show
ed ice Further up the frost ceased.
This is due to the movements of the
air stratas down the drawns. On the
high ridges the air is in motion down
ward, drawing the warmer air from
above and sending the cold air down
thed raWs. In the ravines blanket Of
fog prevented the frost from reaching
them. The probability is that the frost
concentrated at the halfway points,
causing a mild freeze"

IDEAL WEATHER SHOULD
PREVAIL FROM NOW ON

Growing and crop fruition condi-
tions from now on should be ideal, y
said a we'll informed farmer Saturday
evening. This man who knows traced
the present season from last April
when the small grain was planted
down through corn planting, hay har-
vest and grain cutting, and said that
in every instance it seemed that Prov
idence had prepared for the best con-
dition. "The frost of Friday was real
ly a good thing" he went on to say.
This is due to the probability that an
early light frost means continued
pleasant weather for a number of
weeks, and if my dope is correct
Grant county will be a little the clos
est to the Almighty's country to be
found anywhere"
This farmer says that our corn crop
is assured. More power to him.

Friend Dave: Eleven days from
London and nothing to do but write
letters and look for periscOpes. | left
New Pork May % on the S. S. Baltic
and arrived at Liverpool June 8. We
had quite a distinguished party on
board-General Pershing and staff,
Dorothy Gish, the movie star, and my
self.
The voyage was rather long for that
distance and the suspense was pretty
high until we were met by two Amer
lean destroyers two days from Lon
don. 1t looked pretty good to see one
on either side conveying us in. l was
in great luck in getting this ship.
been compelled to wait in London till
July 10 for the next one, and that long
in London would be very uninterest
ing at this time You could see the
effects Of the war everywhere you
looked Women and girls doing all
kinds Of mems work. 1t was terrible
| was glad to get away. | had only
one night in London This is eleven
/ days out with twenty more to Cape
Town. Eight thousand miles from
London, the way we are going. We
have lifeboat drill every day and car
ry our life belts with us all the time.
It's not altogether a pleasure trip
when we were coming through the
English channel we had to go back
and stay in the channel for two days
before we could slip out to sea.
There were six ships sunk within
ten miles of us. A person travelling
the water at this time is sure fiirt-
ing with the angels, although We are
pretty we'll out of the danger zone
now. This boat has pretty good board
better than | expected for war
times.
From Cape Town | will go to 10
hannesburg by train, about 100 miles.
When I returned to the factory they
appointed me foreign service repre-
sentative, so I will spend most Of my
time in travel After | finish my work
in South Africa I will go to Australia
and then to New Zealand home by
way Of San Francisco.
July 81 am still here. A number
of the passengers have been feeding
the fishes, but | have not missed a
meal Have gained six pounds on the
voyage 1t has been very rough for
the past few days. We will be at
Cape Town July and I will not be
sorry.
