HOUSE HAS LONG HISTORY
Tank Cottage, Still Standing at Green
Bay, Wis, a Place Of Much
Interest

Green Bay, once the center Of the fur
trade, located as toll gate to the In
terror of the Northwest, claims the dis
tinction OF having the Oldest building
standing in Wisconsin and probably
the oldest building In the Northwest.
The cottage was erected in 1776 at the
outbreak Of the Revolutionary war.
Like the Cabldo of New Orleans.
which is the Oldest building in the Mis-
sissippi valley, the Tank cottage at
Green Bay is no longer used for prac-
tical purposes but as museum for
relics of former day.
1t was in the Tank cottage at Green
Bay that all legal business of the ham
let was transacted during the great
fur regime. 1t was there that mar
riage contracts were made and there
that the faithful gathered in prayer.
1t was at this house in 1872 that Amer
leans made arrangements for aiding
the United States during the war
against Great Britain.
Joseph Roy, who came to Green
Bay in 1916, was the builder Of the his
tOric cottage. His testimony Is to the
effect that he lived in the house until
1905, when he sold 1t to Judge Porlier.
The building was constructed of rough
" sawn timbers and boarding made
by rip saw. Spaces between the up
right timbers and the inner and outer
walls were filed with brush and
plugged" with clay, mud plaster be-
Ing used in eai.ystt to chink log
cabins. In the center of the building
is great fire place, still smoked black
from the logs which there have been
burned to warm the visitors and ten
ants.
It was in about 1850 that an entirely
new influence took charge of the
quaint building. Nels Otto Tank, de-
scribed as Norwegian gentleman and
Moravian missionary, an ardent stu
dent, highly educated, fine linguist,
speaking fiuently. six languages. be-
came its owner It was occupied by
the Tank family until the decease Of
Mrs. Tank In 1891. Then the Tank IL
brary, which was housed in this old
building, was turned over to the Wis
consln Historical society, and in it
were found books and maps which
have been used by students and law
yers in settling boundary disputes be-
tween Canada and United States. In
this house are to be found quaint
treasures from Holland and bric-a-brac
from various parts of the world. in
GLIDING the unique garments and fur
niture of an early pioneer day. Re
Gently the building was purchased by
persons interested in history, and has
been preserved as an historical land
mark and museum. II is visited by
thousands every year.-Fred l.. Holmes

those who have wronged him-a strug-
gle in which he is inspired by the girl

Reports have been received from 40
of our list, II report that they are out of
employment, Al were Juvenile delinquents
and of course earning practically nothing
Fifty nine women report that their aver
age. weekly wage is S9.45 teach,s or at the
rate of $34 $685. for year. stfs~.
In many Of these eases the wages
stated do not include board and room,
WHICH are furnished, which would mate-
rally and properly increase their earning.
Three hundred, and two men report an
average. weekly wage of S25.32 or
1897, 1872 annually. The wage of the
302 men show an earning ability of
S432. 3S6.97 per year. These, of course. in.
clude but a little more than one-half of
our total number, which would seem to in
dictate that the paroleTs and prObatiOners
under supervision of this department are
now earning upward of 100000 annually.
The foregoing is indeed gratifying and
indicates that the average parOler and pro-
bationer is discharging his duties indus
trially toward society as satisfactorily as
the average citizen. Reports now reach
ing the Office for the first of the year indi-
cate that there will be larger number
of unemployed than have been previously
reported, and it is regrettable that we are
unable to send a visiting deputy to assist
these men in relocating in profitable en-
plOyment.
Vermont could give its greatest aid and
justification for the parole and probation
by furnishing these men and women with
a helping hand now that it is most needed.
1t is indeed easy for the average man or
woman to become discouraged when out
of employment. and the present excessive
high cost of living to be met Doubly 50
