Element. The first white man
to penetrate this region was
Jean NicOllet, who was sent out
in 1884 by Champlain to open
trade with the Indians. He
landed at Green Bay and prob
ably traversed the country to
Chicago. Fur traders and mis-
sionaries followed and the latter
built a mission where Ashland
now stands. This was the first
church erected in the state and
around it sprang up the first
permanent settlement. Joliet
and Father Marquette descended
the Wisconsin river, and La
Sale explored great deal Of
Wisconsin before he took his
famous trip down the Mississip-
pi. Among the fur traders to
come to Wisconsin shores was
Daniel du Lhut, after whom the
city Of Duluth, MINI, was
named.
During the Revolution Wiscon-
sin remained loyal to the Brit
ish and though Wisconsin be-
came a part Of the United
States by the Treaty of Paris in
1888, it was not until 1916 that
federal troops really established
authority there. Indian upris-
ings continued for some time
ending only with the Black
Hawk war in 1882. Then fol-
lowed extensive immigration
from the New England States.
Wisconsin had formed a part
of the Northwest territory until
1900, when it became a part of
Michigan territory, under which
jurisdiction it remained until
1886, with the exception of nine
years, when it was considered
a part Of Illinois territory. With
the admission Of Michigan as a
state, the Wisconsin territory
was created, which included al
so the present states Of Iowa
and Minnesota and portions of
North and South Dakota.
In 1914 Wisconsin was taken
into the Union as the thirtieth
state. Its area is 56,O66 square
miles and it has thirteen cleo
toral votes for president.
The state is named after the
|, Wisconsin river. This is an
Ojibwa phrase which means
gathering waters" It is some
times called the Badger State.

scared high.
Il knew he was going to do WELL" she
said. Gwen when he didn't do very
well In the trials I sort of had a hunch
that he'd put up a fine game when the
real tests came. He didn't win, but he
lasted longest among our American
boys. and he'll get no seedlings from me
when he gets back i have cabled him
my congratulations already"
Miss Patten has been keeping in con-
stant touch with the local newspapers
as to the results of the play, and al
though her personal interest in the re-
suit Is now dimmed she continues to
follow the playing closely. She Is a
sllilful golfer herself and plays with
Wright a great deal, her fiance teaching
her the fine points of the game
Mr.. and Mrs Fred Wright Sr, are
also Intensely interested in their sons
success and the father never tires of
boasting of his sons prowess on the
links.

mighty fine golfer" declared Wright

fine boy as WELL"
