Has Started Clearing.

We understand that while driv-
ing home from the directors
meeting of the Eastern Villa 5
County Land Clearing Association,
one of the members struck a
stump with his Ford and uproOt-
ed it. The Ford only stopped sud-
denly, none the worse for its good
work and it was ready 20 go on
to the next-however it didn't DO
any more land clearing that day.
I'll tell you this gives us hope,
when one of the members will go
out from a land clearing meeting,
right in the dead of winter, and
pull stumps. What will happen
to our old Villas, after the week
of land clearing meetings, with
names an everything?
We are not dreamers, but good
prophets and can see acres and
acres of newly cleared land tax
ing the place of the brush and
and stumps that have yielded the
farmer nothing.

A Correction.

In my article last week on Why
Not Eagle River?" / inadvertently
omitted to give credit for the
quotation, or the first half of the
article, dealing with the aims and
aspirations of the Ford Automo-
bile Co.
In order to present any article
that is readable, IT is almost nee
essary for me to pilfer a little, or
so change an article that the
father might see it and still not
recognize his own child. but really
| am not in the habit of pilfering
in a wholesale way, so would like
to give credit TO the good part of
that article where credit is due.
1t was clipped from private in
terview with Mr.. Ford by a spec
ial representative of the Literary
Digest, and if either of them
should have happened TO get a
glimpse of the article, / wish to
beg their pardon for the act.

The following sketch of Lyman
]. Cook. taken from a biographi-
cal record published in 1895, gives
an early day history of Mr.. Cook
when this country was a wilder
ness:
Lyman j. Cook, member of the
firm of Dickinson e. Cook, tn @
leading general merchants and
real-estate dealers Of Eagle River,
Villas county, is a native of New
York State, born September IL,
1850. in North Norwich, Chenango
county.
The subject proper of these
lines was reared on the farm, re-
ceiving his elementary education
at the common schools, which was
supplemented with two terms at
the Union schools, and one term
at select school. Early in life he
assisted materially in the support
of his parents, employing himself
at both farming and numbering
until he was eighteen years old,
when he went into the woods and
for one winter welded the axe in
telling the trees. During the fol-
lowing eleven years or so he was
engaged for his own account, al
ternately at farming in the sum-
mers andlumbering in the winters,
which brings his life history down
to 1879. in which year he moved
10 Marathon county, and IN the
village of Norrie built the second
frame house. where he made his
home nearly four years, conduct
ing a general mercantile and drug
business in partnership with Geo.
p. Dickinson. In the spring of 1881
the firm moved TO Eagle River,
Villas county. hauling their goods
and chattels by wagon from Three
Lakes. and for some time carry
ing on their business, which con-
sisted of general merchandise
drugs. etc, in a tent to which
later they added real-estate deal
ings. Not long afterward a post
office was established at Eagle
River. Mr.. Cook being appointed
the first postmaster, and holding
the position up TO the time Of
n
CIeveland's first election; he had
previously been postmaster Mt
Norrie. and was filling the incum-
bency at the time of his leaving
that village for Eagle River. The
firm of Dickinson & Cook conduct
the largest general store in this
rising. hustling place, and are
largely interested in numbering
buying pine lands quite extern
sively.
Mr.. Cook has been twice mar
ried. first to Miss Anna Eliza
Butler who was born in Sandusky,
Ohio. daughter of Manara an d
Sarah Butler. natives of Ohio, who
came to Wisconsin in an early day,
and who had a family of two sons
and four daughters: Daniel r..
Nathan s. Dell. Emma E. Elite
G and Anna Eliza. To this mar
rage were born three children:
Grant D. Jay b, and one that
died in infancy. The mother Of
these dying in 1877, Mr.. Cook mar
r;ed for his second wife. in 1883.

was borr in Maine, near the city

of Augusta, daughter of George
w. and Charlotte Thompson, and
this union has been blessed with
five children: Paul l., Lawrence
deceased at the age of seven
years., Morton, Mary and Flo
renee.
In politics our subject is a
stanch Republican; served as
town treasurer of Eagle River six
years. and was chairman one year;
was active in securing the organ
ization of Villas county, spending
nearly an entire winter at Madison
for that purpose. Socially he is
a member of the +. e. A. M. and
/. o. o. F. Prior to embarking in
mercantile pursuits Mr.. Cook pas
sed some two years in the South,
with the view of locating there,
but not liking the country return
ed TO Wisconsin. He is one of the
most influential business men in
the county, and in a large meas
ure enjoys the respect and esteem
of his fellow men.
Some seven or eight years ago,
Mr.. Cook wrote the following
article on his early day experience
in Eagle River, and it is published
from the original manuscript:
Geo. 7. Dickinson and myself
came to Eagle River the first part
of MAY. 1888. The end of the
Railway track proper was Monico,
but the work train ran up to the
swamp where Gagen now is. The
right of way was cut out to Three
Lakes where the engineers were
camped. We stayed all night with
them and came on to Eagle River
in the morning.
On arriving at Eagle River we
found a crew getting out timbers
for the X. X. bridge. There was
a pole bridge for teams across
the river below where the r. r.
bridge now stands. There were
r. r. shanties and crews all along
the right of way. One Shanty was
near the bank of the river where
AL Denton's house now stands.
We later bought this and used it
for a store. The following winter
Frank rambling and wife lived in
set of cabins where George
O'Connor's house now stands. {.
i. Perry and Finn Lawler lived
in a cabin at the foot of Yellow
Birch lake. We went up there
and got a canoe and went up the
lakes after being at Eagle River
a few days. We concluded it all
right and went back to Norrie,
Wis. where we had been in the
store business about four years,
selling general merchandise and
drugs. We had sold out our
business and were looking for a
new location. The following June
started for Eagle River with a
large tent and a stock of cloth
ing. notions, and light groceries.
Mr.. Dickinson stayed in Norrie
TO settle our accounts. | came
as far as Three Lakes on the
train and from there by wagon.

side of the pole bridge between
