OF Interest on the Life of N. H. Snow.

In chronicling last week the death of
/ our highly esteemed citizen, Mr.. n. H.
Snow, we had little or no data at hand.
Since then the following particulars
have been handed in. Though they do
not thoroughly cover the activities and
usefulness of the man, they show
the splendid advantages of being an
Amerincan citizen when one elects to
be man and progressive, and how easy
it is to better the world in the allotted
time for human life.
Nelson Homer Snow was born in
Clinton, Massachusetts, April 81, lS4S.
In 1857 he came with his father to
Wisconsin. settling in Avoca, Iowa
county. He entered the service of the
c. NJ. & St. Paul R'y company then
the Milwaukee & St. Paul lat Avoca in
1865, or at the age of II, and remained
in the service until his death, May 20,
1919, a period of fifty-four years.
Mr.. Snow came to Mineral Point as
station agent in 1882. Aside from the
duties involved therein he was ever
active from a progressive standpoint,
especially in the ore business, and was
among the most influential in the agi-
tation for and organization of the Min
eral Point Zinc company, the leading
industrial concern in all southwestern
Wisconsin from its origin. While To-
Gated in Avoca he became active in the
purchasing of zinc ore from Highland
miners and shipped from Avoca to
Bethlehem, Pa, and has been buyer
of ores in some form practically ever
since.
In the call of our city to serve as on
the school board. on the common coun-
Gil, in the mayors chair, as representa-
tive on the county board. he responded
with cheerfulness and served conscien-
tiously and we'll
He was Mason mot only in name,
but in accordance with the grand, the
noble teachings of the order. As a
member of Trinity church, he was faith
full and true. His resting place in
Graceland cemetery will ever be re-
spected by those who knew him in life.

mental in earning for the division the
title Of Les Terribles.
Lieutenant Padon was awarded the
Croix de Guerre by the French for es-

Grand Armada Compared

GREAT REDUCTION

Atlantic Fleet Required 81 Days to

Great Receptions Being Prepared.


SAN FRANCICCO, July 30-The
Atlantic feet on its famous cruise
around the world in 1908 was 141 days,
hours en- route from Hampton Roads,
Va, to San Francisco. The new Paci-
fic fleet now en- route from Hampton
Roads is scheduled to arrive at San
Francisco in 81 days from the date of
sailing. This is one of the interesting
comparisons of the two fleets which
have been made here.
The Atlantic fleet went arount Cape
Horn. The Pacific fleet comes through
the Panama canal, not completed when
the Atlantic fleet made its cruise.
The actual sailing time for the At
lantic feet was 81 days 10 hours. The
Pacific fleet is expected to make the
trip to San Francisco in about eighteen
or nineteen days actual sailing time
In 1908 the American navy had no
airplanes or seaplanes. 1t had few des-
troyers and less submarines.
The Atlantic fleet comprised 16 bat
tleships with a fotilla of torpedo boats.
The new Pacific fleet approximates 1876
vessels of all classes.
