Leo Mccormack
 Gets Married
Steamship Agent Is Wed at Prince Rupert to Girl With Whom He Attended School in Nova Scotia.

Among the passengers on the Royal Tuesday morning were MT. and Mrs. Leo Mccormack and if the hour of their arrival had not been such an early one or even if they had been expected on that particular boat, this story would be considerably longer. AS it was, they were here before much of the town was aware of their coming.
 The popular steamship agent has been suspected of matrimon- ial plans for some time and it was impossible for him to surprise his friends by getting married, but they are willing to admit that his speedy home coming was a sur prise, and perhaps it was we'll for him that it was.
 Miss Alice M. Wiltshire of Kentville, Nova Scotia, and Leo Mccormack were married at the Cathedral at Prince Rupert on July 5 by Bishop Bunoz, bishop of Northern British Columbia. The bride is a member of an old English family and spent her early childhood in Bermuda. She came to Nova Scotia later and here she and her future husband were school chums. Her educa- tion was finished in England. The bridegroom has been a resident of Wrangell so long that he needs no introduction to the people among whom he has established a home.
 MT. and Mrs. Mccormack have taken the Ole Johnson house be- tween Front and Church Streets. The community extends a hearty welcome to the bride, congratu- lations to the happy groom and wishes for a long life and a happy one to both.

Dr. Hugh M. Smith, U. s. Com- missioner of Fisheries, accompan- jed by Ward T. Bowers of the Bureau of Fisheries and others were through passengers on the Spokane last Friday. They were on their way to Cordova, Anchor age and Seward and may go to points in the Interior before re- turning south. The trip is made for the purpose of making an in- tensive study of Alaska's fisher ies with view to making rec ommendation for the revision of laws governing that industry, for the conservation of the salmon fisheries. Dr. Smith and his con- panions were guests of honor at a luncheon given at the Arctic Club by the Fisheries Committee of the Alaska Bureau before leaving Seattle.
 Since the above was written Dr. Smith and MT. Bower have arrived in Wrangell and are here today.

FARM WAGES BACK TO NOR


1t is interesting to note home farm
wages, along with prices of farm prod
ucts, have quite generally gone to
levels close to those prevailing before
the war. In December, 1920, the
Monthly Crop Reporter gave $46S9
with board as the average monthly
farm wage, and $64.94 without board,
as the average for the United States.
Wages were highest in the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific Coast states,
next highest in New England and the
middle West, and lowest in the south
ern and south Atlantic states. While
complete reports on the summer
wages are not available, the indica-
tons are that there has been a gem
eraI decrease since Decembr OF from
Is to so per cent, and in some cases
even, a greater reduction is reported.
Monthly wages in New York for ex-
perienced farm hands are now from
$50 to $35 with board and room Daily
wages in Connecticut are from $3.50
to So; some sections of New Jersey
are getting good men from $1.25' to
Size day with board. In Ohio har.
vest wages have not run over So per
day and in many sections farm hands
are receiving only 50. The wage in
California for ordinary farm labor is
$50 a month and board, while mixers
command as high as $S5 and board

RICHLAND COUNTYS WONDERFUL NATURAL BRIDGE
SUGGESTED AS A SOLDIERS MEMORIAL PARK BY
O. D. BRANDENBURG- -GREAT NATURAL CURIOSITY

, natural curiousity in the west than
the natural bridge of the Pine river.
1t is a rock 40 to go feet high, over liz
miles long, with beautiful arch suf-
ficiently large for the waters of the
Pine river in times of flood. The rock
is solid FOR 80 feet above the water
and is covered with a beautiful grove
of thrifty pines. 1t is species of sand
stone, seven rods wide and perpendic-
ular its entire length, except where it
projects over. This forms a great
waterpower and also shelter for man
and beast. The Indians used to as

while his audience remained below"
Long since the water power fell into

AS far back as the fall of 1843 Sam

going back to Galena but returning
in December with others. The party
cut 400 pine logs, a considerable dis
lance above the rock bridge, RATED
them down the Pine and the Wiscon-
sin to Muscoda in the spring and sold
them for $1,000. In 1916 a sawmill, pos
sibly the first in the country, was
built at the rock bridge, and this be-

In a letter to the Republican OBJ
server of Richland Center O. D. Bran
denburg, for so years editor of the
Madison Democrat suggests to the
people of Richland county that they
honor their heroes of the World war
by establishing a soldiers memorial
park at the remarkable rock bridge
nine miles north of Richland Center.
It really is wonderful opportunity
he says, the like of which is possible
to no other Wisconsin community;
nor should it be an expensive propos-
ition. A large area is not necessary
perhaps six or eight acres, including
the ridge through whose base the Pine
river has bored it's way, and a little
plot of bottomland between the rocky
escapement and the point a few rods
distant, where two branches of the
stream unite. Certainly the cost should
not exceed the sum required for any
other memorial of character that
would accord with the dignified ideals
of patriotic citizens Of the county. He
adds: No memorial could be more en-
during, none more stately, none more
beautiful, none sweeter, gentler, none
more tender, more fitting, none that
would afford wider enjoyment It
would be far better than costliest
shaft, arch, building or bridge; and
he ventured the opinion that the sug-
gestion will meet the earnest appro-
val of the great mass of Richiand
