BUYS LARGE TRACT
OF TIMBER LAND

One of the largest, if not the larg-
est real estate transaction ever con-
summated in Langlade county, was
closed Friday when the 10000 acre
tract of timber land in the town of
Langlade was transferred to the Yaw-
key-Bissell Lumber company of White
Lake. The consideration was not
made public, but it was cash trans
action and a price satisfactory to both
parties In addition to the timber
holdings the sale includes about II
miles of railroad track, locomotives,
cars, log leaders, all railroad and
train tools, etc. The sale, however,
does not include the mill at Elton,
nor the dwellings, owned by the
Crockef Chair company at Elton.
In an interview with ]. E. Collins,
vice president of the Crocker Chair
company, Mr.. Collins said that the
logging operations that had been
planned by the Crocker people would
be followed in detail by the Yawkey-
Bissell people. Every camp they had
started would be continued and the
personnel of camp foremen and work
ers would all be retained by the new
owners and the work go on practi-
cally the same as though no change
had been made-Antigo Journal

DAN HEALY KIN
OF TIM. HEALY
GOVERNOR GENERAL OF
NEW IRISH FREE STATE
is A RELATIVE

i King George recently gave royal
sanction to the legislation setting up
the Irish Free State as a dominion
of the British Empire. Official an
nouncement was Immediately made OF
the appointment of Timothy Healy as
first governor general of the Free
State.
Right here in Wausau lives a rela-
tive of the distinguished governor
in the person of Dan Healy, whose
people emigrated from Kildare, Ire
land, some eighty years ago. Mr..
Healy is proud of his Irish lineage.
In Ireland the original family names
are yet prominent in public affairs.
The O'Briens' Collins, McMahons, Nc
Carthys' Healys, Donohues; O'Con-
nels, O'Rourkes, Washes and others
stand out distinctly as national rep
resentative families proud Of their an
cestry and lineage.
History points to them as the "scat-
tered Gael' and they are. Through
the expressions and prosecutions of
seven centuries they are found in
Mexico, South America, in France and
Spain, in England in all avenues of
life.
Wausau people are, of course, proud
to own Dan Healy but this new con-
nection, with the governor general OF
the Irish Free State, makes him quite
a figure and while we hardly dare to
guess, we wouldn't be surprised if
he decided sometime to take trip to
Ireland to extend his compliments
and congratulations in person to the
famous Timothy Healy
(For most of the Information about
family names we are indebted to
Brother Brawley of The Amigo Her.
