OBITUARY

Again the taps have sounded. An
other of our patriots has been muster
ed out. One by one, they leave our
earthly comrades, to rest from this
world of conflict, to an inheritance in
corruptable, undefiled, which fadeth
not away, reserved in Heaven for you
who are kept by the power of God,
through faith unto Salvation.
Wilson Mills, born in Green county,
New York, September IA, 1885, came
to Vernon county and located at what
is now known as West Prairie when
a young man of 20 years of age. He
married Miss Margaret E. Vance, Jan
uary 20, 1860. Mrs. Mills died June
2, 1897. Together they built up a
home where they labored for some 40
years, at the same time rearing a fam
lily of seven children. At the call of
the nation, Mr.. Mills enlisted as a pri-
vate in Co. l. 42nd Reg. Wis. Infantry,
serving his country for some nine
months. Hearing the call of his Sa-
vior he enlisted in the services of the
Methodist church and for more than
a half century, has endeavored to
serve Him. Some six years ago Mr.,
Mills retired and came to Viroqua.
And regardless of his age, he has
been very active, taking long walks.
Some months ago he was attacked
with that much dreaded disease of the
kidneys, and has been suffering much
until another call came on Sabbath
evening, April 16, at 4:30 p. m. to
his eternal reward. Leaving his body
weakened by pain and suffering, his
soul departed to its repose. Mr.. Mills
leaves to mourn his departure, six liy-
ing sons and daughters: Mary, who
died in infancy; Mrs. Susan Clarke of
Waterloo, Iowa; Herbert of Viroqua;
William and Frank Of Liberty Pole;
Mrs. Lepha Peaslee of Granton, Wis;
Miss Jessie of Viroqua. Fifteen
grandchildren, five great grandchil-
dren and many comrades and neigh
bors and friends.
Mr.. Mills passed the land mark Of
sc years, months and days. with
long life, will give him, and show
him my salvation"

PIONEER DAYS in VERNON LOGGING IN WASHINGTON
% the Vernon County Censor;

To the Vernon County Censor:
The weather is fine here, crops look
good, grass is foot high, stock looks
very good and the dairy men are all
wearing a smile owing to the nice
flow of rich milk which usually tests
AZ. 1t looks like a prosperous year
for any one. | am engineer in the
tall timber at present. Things are
booming in great shape. With a COM
pound donkey and very good show
we go ahead easy and come back slow
and every time we come back there is
g monster log on the end of the main
line. ! sent a book to Mr.. J. B. Be
zosky at Purdy with lots of work I
helped with. in the timber belt of
Washington and Oregon. II shows
pictures of how the timber is joggled
until it is worked into lumber. They
are real pictures too, of the finest
grade of wood in the west. But not
the largest. California has large tim
Der which is the red wood, but Oregon
has the tallest. Red wood timber of
Yosemite Valley, California, grows
400 feet tall while the eucalyptus fis-
silus generally known by the mess
mate, is still taller. A giant speci-
men of the latter felled by a wind
storm on black spur near Newport,
Oregon, that measured 81 feet around
the girth was $50 feet long and 300
feet from the ground was six feet in
diameter. No monarch of the red
wood forest equalled this giant They
don't get many crops of timber like
that White cedar is selling at the
mills here at Coos Bay for sos per
thousand. And for $40, $12 and $50
for old growth veneer. There are big
shipments going to China and Japan.
Japan loads lots of her boats with
logs and pile lumber in between. 1t
doesn't cost so much to ship the raw
material. They were planning on tax
RATS over with them making them
up here and raft them over the Paci-
fic They use the white cedar for
aeroplanes. There is a great demand
for it now. There was one man here
who had several thousand dollars
worth on Elk River here and the wat
er didn't come soon enough for him
so he hired a bunch of men and lacked
them out, that is, they wiggled them
loose and damned the water up with
the logs until it was strong enough to
push the whole business out, dam and
all. 1t would work for hundred feet
more or less, then they would make
another one and so on. There was two
inches of snow on the ground in the
valley and ice water pouring in from
all branch streams, cold as real Wis
consin in January. The men were in
the cold water from six inches to four
feet deep, all of ten hours per day
Something like the Bad AK river there
Some of them sleep with their wet
clothes on all night After they get

don't have to do that But they all

weaken. May prosperity be with you
all. Yours truly,

There were lots of trout in the creek,
so / could have fish when wanted
them.
"There were wild plums, blackber-
ries, raspberries, grapes and lots OF
crab-apples and gooseberries in the
woods. The fruit was so good that !

store at Prestonberg, later named Dell,
where / could get the groceries that

sweetening the fruit.
81 built my house right by spring
of water which has never gone dry,
and it is still good today. Simon
Glenn's more modern house is built
on the same spot where ! built the
log house. The two pine trees which
still stand by the house were planted
by Lewis Glenn in the spring Of 1868.

and once in a while there would be a
religious meeting in the school house
at Upper Webster. ! stayed at home
in the evenings, and it was pretty
lonely there in the woods. | had a
kerosene lamp for light.
81 got my mail at John MeVey's
