Washburn and he, in the few years
that they were together built up an
extensive and lucrative business in
the entry of public lands for settlers,
and themselves became possessed of
great quantities of pine, mineral and
agricultural lands. They were fam
ed far and wide for fair and honest
dealing and for energetic action, In
1852 they established the Mineral
Point bank
An interesting, almost romantic,
circumstance in their career was their
ownership of the historic shot tower
at old Helena on the river near Spring
Green. This they bought in 1847 and
ran it for two years successfully, then
suspended it's operation for time;
but after 1850 it was going again, and
it turned out shot spasmodically until
the opening Of the Civil war. In 1851
the tower was closed, Washburn hay
ing gone to war and his interest lag
ging.
Long years after, the property, full
Of natural beauty, became resort
where tired teachers and preachers
especially could find rest mixed with
some Literary diversion. Now it has
reverted to primitive conditions.

Down through Dodgeville, Mineral
Point PIatteville and Hazel Green to
old Galena is a pleasant jaunt by mo-
tor car. The town was famous in lead
mining days and also when the name
of General U. S. Grant was on the
fps of every one as the result of
his prominence in the Civil War. A
small stream bisects the place, and
many of the houses, save those along
the business street, cling to the sides
of the precipitous slopes.

In Baraboo the name uppermost
with a tourist is Ringing and in Ca
lena it is naturally Grant In the Hi
nois town there is much to interest,
too, because the famous general once
resided there. Before the war Grant,
his wife, and four children resided
in a red brick house on the side Of
the hill west Of the river. A tablet
tells the traveller the family once re-
sided there, and this remained their
home while the war continued.

: Across the valley is another Grant
house around which clusters more Of

CYRUS WOODMANS $4,000 LIBRARY FUND BECOMES
OVER $4,000 AFTER IS YEARS OF SAFE STEWARDSHIP

It is interesting to note how from
little fund a large one may grow.
In 1888, that is, thirty-seven years
ago, Cyrus Woodman, DESTROYS Of
founding an astronomical library in
connection with the Washburn OBJ
servatory sin memory of the virtues
and beneicence" of his old partner,
c. c Washburn, set aside a fund of
$1,000. He provided that half the
increment annually be devoted to
added to the principal. Today that
fund has grown from $4,000 to over
$4,000, and in the meantime a
handsome library of 800 volumes has
been assembled, while several hun
dreds of dollars remain to be eX-
pended for books. Mr.. Woodman
provided that the accumulation
should cease when the principal
reached 100000, and when the an
nuaI income exceeds what may be
needed for the investment and ex-
penditure provided for it, then the
trustees are to set aside and invest
this excess, as it may accrue, as d
separate fund which when sufficient
for the purpose shall be used for the
erection of a proper library room or
building, fire proof, This, Mr.. Wood
man said, might be separate from or
in addition to the Washburn obser-
vatory. The title of the library was
to rest in the university, the same as
that Of the Washburn observatory. The
fund was placed in control Of trustees
Mr.. Woodman in May 1883. named as
the first trustees, Orsamus Cole chief
Justice of the supreme court, William
F Villas, a regent, and Edward S.
Holden, director of the Washburn OBJ
servatory; and thereafter, as desired
by the donor the same classification
has been pursued-a member of the
supreme court, a regent of the univer'
sity, the director of the observatory,
and these have been:

Mr. Washburn, of whose virtues
and beneficene' Mr.. Woodman speaks
thought. very highly in his turn OF
that gentleman. For eleven years they
were associated together at Mineral
Point in law, land and banking, and
when in 1855 their partnership was
dissolved, there is a clause in the ar
ticles written by Washburn thus:
eve have for upwards Of ten
years been doing business as part

course, interrupted by no untoward

constant feeling of kindness and
good will, combined with an unusual
