could wiring 100 per cent out of an

doing so. There appears for exam
pie the record of a grant from the

about eighty-one acres, costing BIod-

try is another conveying the same
property to one George Moore for

In the record of interpretations
there are certain church organiza-
tions shown that are interesting. On
October 10th, 1868, there appears the
following: "On the twenty sixth day
of September, 1863 there was as
sembled number of Evangelical Lu-
theran Christians who constituted
themselves to be church under the
name of the Evangelical Lutheran

Hard TO BE Preacher
The records also reveal the fact
that II was not easy TO become
preacher in the early days. Formal ex-
aminations of the applicant as TO his
creeds, belief and training seem to
have been rigidly required and none
but those unquestionably qualified
were accepted to preach.

BOARD ARRANGES
TO HANDLE CASES
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL WILL
COOPERATE WITH
STATE

The vocational school board of this
city held an important meeting Tues
day night at the Central school build
ing when arrangements were effected
with the state board of vocational edu-
cation. rehabilitation department,
whereby the local vocational school
may assist the state in the training
and education of industrial cripples.
Miss Melha Roach, representative
of the state board. was introduced and
Explained the extensive rehabilitation
work among individuals that is be-
ing undertaken by the state and fed
eral governments working co-opera-
lively. The state agrees to pay the
Wausau school $1,000 a month for
every industrial pupil coming under
its supervision and $4,000 month
for all those from outside the city OF
Wausau. e. A. Holmes, director of the
vocational school, will have charge
of the work of the state board in
this city and is now working out the
personnel of local committee which
will assist him.
Miss Roach emphasizes the fact that
work of the Wisconsin board, rehabili-
tation division, is not charitable, but il

In the register of deeds office at the
court house there are hundreds Of
records that are interesting. All
things recorded in the old days were
put in three books, the first of which
contained deeds, mortgages and other
instruments of this nature, the second
interpretations and the third deaths,
marriages and births. The first rec
ords are copied from the original
Portage county books, for Marathon
county was then geographically a part
Of Portage.
From 1S41 to 1845 there were COM
paratively few matters recorded, on
ly four to five in an entire year In
l846 the number of transactions in
creased and today, according to Geo
A. Runkel, recorder, forty transac-
tions are averaged each day. The
records of early times are all written
in ink, many of the documents in the
German language. a peculiar fact
is the time at which documents were
filed Many show that they were re-
corded at seven O'Clock in the morning
and others at nine In the evening.
The reason for this is that the num-
Der of documents filed being small,
the recorder would place them in an
envelope waiting until he had suffi-
cient accumulation to begin work.
COnveyances Different
The legal form of documents, even
in 1S41, does not appear to vary great
ly in terminology from that of the
present day but the manner in which
parcels Of land were described is
at times rather vague. One of the
early conveyances from /. and r.
Gopher to Walter Duncan, reads:
Undivided half of double saw mill
situated at Big Bull Falls, county of
Portage, Territory of Wisconsin,
known as the property sold by George
Stevens to George Norton, William
Morrison and Charles Boswell as well
as one-half of all the lands, tene-
ments, privileges and appurt rtenances
thereto belonging or in any way ap-
pertaining thereto, especially piece
of land situated at Big Bull Falls.
Wisconsin Territory, on which GER
tain tavern stands, built in 1916 and
1847 by Hiram Pierson extending west
to the mill pond"
Other deeds show that lines were
run from a certain pine, hemlock or
other sort Of tree or stump so many
rods in any given direction TO another
stump, point on river bank, or purely
natural marking. Had the particu-
lar marking been accidentally de-
stroyed at any time, the boundary

SUGGEST CHANGE IN
FIFTEENTH DISTRICT

The May number of Alfred H. Zim-
merman's Governors Bulletin" which
is distributed to all Rotary clubs in
the Fifteenth district, has been mailed

tention to the matter of redistricting.
The International Board meeting at
Portland has suggested that the Fif-
teenth Rotary district, of which Wau-
sau is part, be divided into two dis
tricts, one to be composed of North
Dakota and Minnesota clubs, with the
possible exceptions of La Crosse and
Superior, both of which will them
selves decide, and the second to be
composed of Wisconsin and Upper
Michigan clubs. The question is to be
disposed of at the Los Angeles con-
vention june 9Th to 9th.

Archbishop Michael Joseph Curley
of Baltimore, successor in his arch
diocese to the late Cardinal Gibbons,
returned yesterday by the White Star
liner Celtic from visit to his native
land and the home in Athlone Of his
aged mother, declaring that he could
not find words strong enough to ex-
press his opinion Of "the handful of
deluded Irishmen inspired by De
Valera to bring about chaos in ireland
and wreck the country" The Arch
bishop is tall. finely built big eyed and
eloquent and talks like a native Amer
lean.
In the steerage of the Celtic came
twenty-six young Irishmen who had
advocated the De Valera viewpoint and

know what they were doing"
That was his estimate of most OF the
youngsters trying to ruin their country"
emily had become weary of a fight in
which they realized that they were nu-
merically an insignificant factor.
The Archbishop said: There is moth
ing more evident in Ireland to-day than
that the Irish people want the peace
treaty and the Free State status. More
than 95 per cent. OF the men who fought
the Black and Tans' are with the people
for the Free State and are being guided
by the will of the people In other words.
Ireland is thoroughly democratic. At the
head of the Irish Government are men
like Cosgrave. O'Neil, Hogan and others
with whom / have talked, among the
most brilliant souls Ireland ever has
produced.
Behind De Valera, VINO seems to have
completely lost his head, are the Eng
lishman Childers. the ex-Englsh officer
Barton and the Polish Countess known
in Socialistic circles as Comrade Mar
kievicz. 1t is an anomalous situation,
uninteligble and unnatural. The worst
