| A. b. Powell of Lewistown, Mont,
is visiting his cousin, T. w. English,
and other relatives and friends at
Baraboo It has been thirty-eight
years since he left Baraboo with his
| fathers family and in all this time
had never returned to the home of
birth and boyhood. He notes many
| changes in going about town. The
old home was at the southwest cor
ner of Eighth and Ash streets, the
land now being owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. J. w. Davis. The house now oc-,
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. FL. G. Schade
stood on the lots at that time. After
wards the Powell family moved to-
the McFetridge farm northeast of the
city. Mr.. Powells ranch is in the
and agriculture region. His brothers
and sister reside as follows: Silas
w. Powell at Spokane, Wash; John
D. Powell at Livingston, Mont; Chas.
J. Powell at Reeds Point, Mont; Sam
uel H. Powell at Ross Fork, Mont,
and Mrs. Kate Holloway at Union
Grove, Wis. Just before coming to-
Baraboo Mr. Powell visited Yellow
stone park, where his brother, John
D. Powell, is interested in one of the
transportation companies. During
the past summer automobiles took the
place of horses in the park, the trip
now being made in two or three
days. This necessitated the changing
of the camps and abandonment of a
number of the big hotels. Mr.. Powell
has united his interests with another
company, and permanent buildings
are now being erected at the camps
for the storage Of supplies, offices and
other purposes. Tents will be used
| for sleeping purposes. While there
big silver tip bear was caught in an
| iron trap and Mr.. Powell visited the
prisoner. The bear made terrible
noise the first night or so after the
iron door fell. Bruin will be kept
Gagged for exhibition purposes. From
Baraboo Mr. Powell goes to Union
Grove and later to the west. Since
coming he has visited many places
around town. not finding many famil-
lar buildings. The section to the
north of where his father lived was in
"a
land Tt was the same with other
blocks in the city. The greatest change
in the nearly forty years is seen in
the faces, he says, gray locks being
now much in evidence.
