FIR S I
The Dells and Devils Lake
BY F. A. Cannon, Executive-Seeretary
Good Roads Association of Wisconsin.
ARTICLE "

Undoubtedly the best known scenic
spot in Wisconsin is the Dells, or as
commonly known, The Dells of the
Wisconsin, near Kilbourn City. For
years it has been widely advertised
Today the two main trunks of tourist
travel in this state are northward to
the upper Wisconsin lake region and
over toward the mid-section of the
state, to Devils Lake and the Dells
Both of the latter are what may be
called geological freaks" IN which
Wisconsin is richly endowed.
The Dalles have been widely pic
tured and are familiar to most Wis
consin people. The river flows thru a
narrow gorge of rock, cutting through
solid sand stone, showing bold bluffs
sharp chasms, and striking isolated
rock pillars. Weathering and erosion
have formed fantastic architectectur-
al designs, the rock formation in most
places being covered with picturesque
coniferous trees.
The Dalles of the Wisconsin is sew
en- and one-ffth miles in length The
river is fifty-two to one thousand feet
wide, in contrast to fifteen hundred
to two thousand feet in the valley of
the Wisconsin above and below the
gorge, the construction resulting in
the river becoming both deeper and
swifter. The gorge wall rises eighty
to one hundred feet above the river
Numerous gulches and glens and
gorges lead off from the river. Wit
ches Gulch and Cold Water Canyon
bear Striking resem mblances to Watkins
Glen in New York state. At the mar
rows the river is only fifty-two feet
wide and from forty to eighty feet
deep and is often spoken of as run
ming on its edge.
Devils Lake = A Gem of Mountain
Scenery
A bit of the Rockies dropped into
the heart of Wisconsin, is what Devils
Lake might be characterized. It has
all the appearances of a mountain lake
with its massive shores of rock rising
abruptly from the water like a battle
ment of the Titans. The East bluff
is 14OO feet above sea level and the
lake lies 600 feet below the crown of
the bluff. Three miles away is the
Barab0o River and the lake is III feet
above it = lake in the air.
The geological story of the lake is
unique and rich with interest. 1t is
the oldest surface formation in the
state, formed at the bottem of an
ocean before the time of life on earth
rose into 4 lofty mountain, sank again
beneath the waters, was buried far
beneath layers of sandstone, was lifted
again when the whole formation was
pushed up, came once more to light
as the developing sand stone weather
Ell away, and a mighty river cut across
It's length. and having faced and turn

today, which its rocks displaying the

COUNTY
OFFICERS Want
Third Term

Efficiency in public Office is what
most people want. 1t makes no diff
ference whether a man has had one
two, or three terms, if he has proven
a faithful, efficient public servant
When that time comes people want a
change. Has that time arrived? Is
there anyone else seeking the offices
who might do as we'll or even better
We believe the present county officials
have beer faithful and efficient in the
discharge of their public duties. l.
our experience is that of others, VIII
have occasion to go to the Court
House, we can find no fault, to the
contrary we can find much to COM
mend. A. B. Bever, the Clerk of the
Circuit Court, has been elected and re
elected for years He has lost nothing
by continual service, neither has the
County If Wood or the Circuit Court
He is painstaking, obliging, courteous
and efficient in the discharge of his
puDliC uutleS. w HdI Is Ilue VI lIie
Clerk of Circuit Court is true of every
other office in the Court House whether
he has served one or more terms. II
an officer is well qualified and efficient
in the discharge of his public duties
one term he will grow better as times
passes, If he is incompetent the soon
er he is dismissed the better. The
question of change, we believe, de-
pends more upon qualification, ther
/ the time of service. Therefore, the
present corps of County Officials are
giving efficient service in their respec
tive offices, why change No gooe
1 reason.

Lake Superior are another strange for

the river of that name are not SO in

they begin school All people should be fevaeeinated every six or seven years. The representation is neces- Gary because vaccination is known to protect against smallpox only six or seven years.
 It is foolish to wait for an epidemic to break out before having yourself -re-vaeeinated. You may be caught in the first lot that suffer and not have time to take advantage of the protec- ton of representation.
 In the presence of an epidemic, or a threatened epidemic, every person should be vaccinated. no matter how young or how old, and no matter how recently he was vaccinated. It is not necessary to wait for any particular month to be vac cinated. Many people think May is the best time, but this is not at all true any other month will do just as well, The belief may be duo to the fact that Ed ward JenneF. who introduced the practice of vaccination to the world, did his first vaccination, May 14th, 17s6. Remember the name of this great benefaoter of man. kind. It deserves to be honered,
 When a vaccination is performed, the slight wound must be kept clean and dry until complete healing, which may take from 10 to 14 days. Don't wear a vacci- nation shield. Failure to keep the sore clean and dry is what causes the badly inf1amed parts, which the cranks falsely blame on the vaccination itself If such ! an, inflammation occurs, go to the doctor and follow his advice.
