TRY THIS ON YOUR HOMEMADE
STILL.

Since the balmy brew has been
given the July 1 beckon to the show
ers, it has become quite stylish among
citizens to dope homemade wobbly
water TO be in vogue, we offer here
with a stagger scenario to try out on
your one-man-top distillery. Here's
how!
Fit a red pepper into brass cur
tain ring and drop into a quart of
chilled bluing. Allow to stand over
night. Add a pint of varnish remov-
er, three stogie stumps, and an ounce
of powdered alum Let simmer for
a week. Then drain off into a shrapnel
she'll casing, cover with a sidewalk
slab, and let ferment at a safe dis
lance.
Has the kick of a chorus of land
lords after the 18th of the month, and
the effects of this fiooie fluid will
make a laughing hyena weep or cause
a mild hammered guinea pig to chase
beyy of leopards out of their spots.

OLD BRIDGE MAY LOSE
TRAFFIC HELD 20 YEARS.

Should the proposed highway bridge
across the Wisconsin river from
Prairie du Chen to Marquette park
become an established fact, the traffic
between Grant and Crawford counties
probably will be diverted to it and the
famous old wooden covered toll
bridge at Bridgeport, several miles
farther up the Wisconsin, will lose
the prestige that it has held for some
70 years. The relic of early DAYS. "
ing as it does on the main line of mo-
tor touring between Milwaukee. Mad
lson,a Prairie du Chen and points
west of the Mississippi on the Indian
Head trail from Illinois to La Crosse
and the twin cities is a novel feature
on motor travel in Wisconsin. 1t is a
queer meeting of the old and new or
der when a big touring car with its
flashing headlight is suddenly held up
in the tunnel blackness of the bridge
by a man swinging a dingy lantern
who says toll"
There is more history clinging to
the Bridgeport crossing than any 9th
er in the state or probably in the up
per Mississippi valley. Back in the
th1rtles when a military road was put
thru from Green Bay to Prairie du
CHEN for the United States troops
and to haul supplies to Fort Crawford
a pole ferry was established at the
bridgeport crossing. The military
road became the highway for fur
traders and their wealth of pelts from
Prairie du Chen and other I'D river
posts and later the great tide of i'm
migration into western Wisconsin and
northern Iowa flowed over it. The
land which is now the site of Bridge
port originally belonged to the Amer
lcan Fur Company's agent at Prairie
II. H. Dousman. Peter Barrette who
mad the contract for carrying mail be,
tween Prairie du Chen and Platte
vile, bought it and for nearly twenty
years operated a ferry at the CROSSING
and did a bonanza business. In 1854
by act of legislature a wooden COW
cred bridge at a cost of $4,000 was
built to take the place OF the ferry
Then couple of years later the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad
reached Bridgeport and boom days
followed for the crossing. Bridgeport
became the shipping point for q
large territory to the south of it. An
immense quantity of grain, hogs and
cattle was brought over the bridge tC
the warehouse and stockyards al
Bridgeport. Old-timers remember
when lines of wagons piled with
wheat and loaded with stock stood
waiting far out in the country for
their turn to cross the bridge.
Even after railroads became plen-
tiful the bridge was used by Grant
county farmers and continued an i'm
portant thoroughfare. Within the
last few years motor touring has adj
ded new sphere of activity to the
old tunnel bridge and the half dollars
during the touring season pour into
the tollman's' pocket almost as fast
as in the good old days" Dubuque

Extracting Salt From Ocean.

Experiments in Norway with a view
TO extracting salt from ocean water

cessful, and two salt factories will
be started for this purpose in the near

produce $4,000 tons of salt a year
for start, but they will be so built
that the production can be brought up
to double the quantity, if necessary.
Besides the salt, different by-products
will be made.
