STATE LAND OFFICE
RECORDS AT WAUSAU
EXPLORED HISTORIAN

Doctor Joseph Schafer Superin-
tendent Of the States Historical So
ciety of Wisconsin, recently visited
the United States Land Office located
at Wausau where are concentrated
the records of all the land offices
ever maintained in Wisconsin by the
Federal Government Through the
courtesy of the Register and Recei-
yer he was able to obtain a view OF
all classes or records on deposit there.
Many of these have a very high his
torical value. Especially is this true
of three classes: the track books; the
surveyors plat books; and the books
containing Transcripts of the survey
ors' field notes. In the tract book is
found a record of every sale of Wis.
consin land made by the Federal
Government at any time, with the
name of the purchaser date and char
acter of the purchase, price paid, kind
of payment-whether cash or military
land warrant-and other data. The
surveyors plat books contain care
fully executed maps of all the town
ships in the State. The field notes
include concise descriptions of the
land as seen by the surveyor in run
ming his section lines The society
is utilizing all three classes of records
in preparing plats of the original pri-
yate grantees of the land as a fea-
ture of the Wisconsin Domesday
Book. Many names of the pioneers of
Sank county will appear in the book.
Those who first took the land from
the government were the ones who
began the making Of history in this
county, after the departure Of the ex-
plorers.

CELEBRATE ON
FOURTH AT SAUK
Congressman John J. Esch De-
ivers an Address to a Large
Audience Music Provided

Sank City was about the only place
in this region where there was an hide
pendence Day celebration. Congressman
John j. Esch of La Crosse gave the
address, band played, vocal music was
furnished and thousands of people
were on hand for the festivities. Max
Ninmann introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Esch took for his text the
thought that all in this country should
possess those American ideas to make
this day what it is" That all men
are created equal; that they are en-
dowed by their creator with certain
unalienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty, and the pursuit OF
happiness.
Congressman Esch said the estab-
lishment of this government marked
an epoch in the worlds history
that the republican form of govern
ment embraced all of the territory
in the western hemisphere excep.
Canada, that it had taken hold of
Switzerland, France, and Portugal,
and that there is reason to believe
that Germany and other countries are
wandering toward the light. In some
portions of Europe, as a result of the
last war, new governments are now
in the process of being established.
Aliens in America
The first duty of government, Con-
gresham Esch said, is to protect it's
citizen. He spoke of the two or more
lynchings each year-where the citi-
zens take the law into their own
hand, not only in the south but in the
north, at Duluth and at Springfield,
where Lincoln lived.
AS to free speech, free press, and
a free assemblage he said these must
be limited so they do not violate the
law and do not advocate the over
throw of the government.
He spoke of those allies in Ameri-

GETTYSBURG BATTLE

desperate effort to pierce the union
lines started terrific cannonade
with $50 guns followed Immediately
by Pickett's famous charge. The fire
OF the union infantry was withheld
until the confederates had advanced
with 800 yards when it was opened
up with such deadliness that the enc
my, after heavy losses, was forced
to retreat.
Both armies held their positions
July but no fighting occurred and
July 5 General Lee retired to Vir-
ginia. His losses were estimated at
10000 while the union losses were
$4,000.

There is a shipwreck in out of

made so realistic on the screen that
it seems as though one were witness
ing the real thing.

this picture one of the finest of it's
kind produced and the facilities that
Goldwyn has for the making of their
many productions, add a sort of
guarantee that this story by the
eminent author Gertrude Atherton,
will not disappoint the readers of
the novel from which it was adapted.

this picture, including, besides those
lleady mentioned, Doris Pawn, Eli

FRENCH FIGHTER ENDS CAREER
Fast Featherweight Now Has But One
Hand-Learned From Yank.

Paris, Jan. 27.-The pugilistic ca
reer of Louis De Pontieu, feather
weight champion of France, ended
yesterday when surgeons amputated
his left hand to save the fighters life.
He met fancy Lee, the British cham
picn. in this city on Christmas day
and tho he knocked out his oppo-
nent in the seventeenth round of their
bout, he injured his hand and blood
poisoning developed.
Pontieu was one of the first French
men to gain prominence in the ring,
taking up boxing as a profession in
I1qo6. He developed considerable abil-
ity. but owed much of later success to
the coaching of Frank Erne, former
American lightweight champion.
