port OF this unique play place will

Mr.. Head and Harry Thornton
have erected picnic tables on the
bank of the river a short distance
east of LaValle. An effort will be
made to clear away the underground

the passer-by. Mr. Head is doing
much in that region for the pleasure

While workmen were eXcavating
for filling station at Black River
Falls some interesting things were
unearthed that hau cen deposited In
the sand since the flood of October 8.
1911. The sand bar at the point where
the filling station is to be bIilt had
remained much as it was the morn
ing after the flood. AS layer after
layer of sand was removed things OF
various description were found 4
bronz clock, a gold watch case, silver
spoon, and numerous metal articles
from the stores which the flood wat
ers had washed away, were uncover
ed. A couple of buggies and hay
rake showed in the excavating.
Among other discoveries were q
couple cases of beer, the real stuff,
which was quite common at the time
of the flood II is said the discovery OF
these bottles almost caused a Klon-
dyke rush of prospectOrs to the sand
bar, but further digging failed TO I'M
earth any more bottles. Somewhere
in the big sand bar at Black River
are thirty or forty safes which have
been buried all these years. Though
excavation has been quite extensive,
not one of them has been brought to
sight.-BIack River Falls Journal.

Scientists claim that the Gulf
stream has been warming up some,
the past year, and has been sending,
its warming influence far into the
Arctic ocean 70 the north of Norway
and Russia, creating an open sea well
toward the Polar regions. In con-
sequence of this warming of the Arc
tic seas, it is expected that the north
winds will blow a little less colby,
the coming winter, and mild weather
will be the result. If the scientists
are correct in their conclusions. their
prediction will outclass the goose
bone, corn-husks, muskrat houses and
numerous other unofficial forecasters,
and day in January may be like one
knee-deep in June. But-some stray
blast may still come along from Medi-
cine Hat, or some cantankerous bliz-
ard which is in ignorance of how to
act when the Arctic seas are kindly
inclined land il would be just as well
here in Wisconsin to keep a lot OF
coal and wood handy for both the ex-
pected and the unexpected.-Merlin
