that are really thriving. The sheep
stand around with their noses close
to the ground and pant, and every
little while run a little way as If to
seek relief from their insect enemies
and the heat. Cattle hug the water
holes and the shade from the noon-
day sun, while horses seek the
highest point on the hills as if in
hopes of getting within range of a
breeze. People sweat and drink
iced tea. Men swear softly while
working in the hay field, and women
trot around and sigh, 80 dear, how
hot it is

Daylight bulbs on its northern

These light bulbs are a definite

left in charge Of the Messrs. Bennett

players for the Platteville club. In
a week or ten days Plattevlle will

rowfully, except Anderson, who pen

east of Baraboo trains were stopped
and pretty girls came aboard decorat-
ing the locomotives and cars with
flowers. Also some oratory occurred
there, and then under verdant arches
the train entered Baraboo, welcomed
wildly by a mighty concord"
Geographically it may be said Of
Mr.. rockingham that he was born II
years ago in Concord, n. H. When he
was eleven his father moved to Illi-
nois, and in 1860 the road from Genoa,
Wisconsin was under construction
and the lad drove grading team.
That road is now the Kenosha divis-
ion of the Chicago and North West
ern. In the fall of 1868 rockingham
began as fireman on train between
Kenosha and Rockford, and two years
later was given charge of the old
ham, of Harper's ferry fame, and
when rockingham took possession
Of the cab it was yet perforated with
bullet holes, reminiscent of exciting
days not long before. There is not
another engine of the same make in
existence today unless perhaps it is
the Pioneer still in possession Of
the Chicago and North Western Rail-
way. The Oldham was constructed
in the famous Norris Works at Bos-
ton, and was characterized by the "
hook notion 1t weighed only about
| 20 tons. Mr.. rockingham was ele-
waited to the passenger service in 1871
During his association with the

company he witnessed it's wonderful
expansion from a road of a little over
200 miles to one of approximately
10000 He aided in building the line
from Madison to Elroy and not only
ran the first passenger train into
BarabOo, but likewise the first that
ever left Elroy, Southbound. From
1871 to 1887 Is years, he had the day
passenger run between Harvard and
Elroy,, then for Is years he oscillated
between Madison and Lancaster; the
next ten years he ran from Lancaster
to Galena. His railroad activities
terminated in 1916, when he reached
seventy, and according to the rules,
retired. From 1853 to 1887 his lone
was at Harvard; he located in Madl-
son three years ago.
"Mr rockingham was married at
Genoa, Wisconsin, in 1867, to Miss
Clara Heath, and she with son and
daughter comprises his household.
His home is one of gentleness and af-
lection; and all up and down the line
no man is more esteemed.
Never was there "a better officer in
his treatment of men than Marvin
Hughitt," said Mr.. rockingham, "and
it was an exceptional honor to be able
to work under his direction. l feel
North Western, even an affection for
them. Mr.. Hughitt and | were to-
gether forty-five years, and often l
was assigned to the duty of pulling

caught by boys in the local creek dur

some of those that were put in the
stream early last year. They were
about six inches long. The legal lin
it of size for trout is seven inches, and
it is hoped that all of the trout caught
in the local stream will be returned
to the water at once-and wet yoUf
hands before handling the fish, be-
cause if you do not, the trout will
probably die anyway. A good MANY
of these small trout can be seen iG
the vicinity of the several places
where thew were planted last year,
and if every fisherman cooperates in
law observance and protection there
should be a good many sizeable trout
by next year. The local fish and game
club will see to it that the streams are
stocked with young fish each year

'Frothie's'. Career as
a Railroad Engineer

III HERE is no greater pleasure con-
nected with the work of editing
this magazine than making record
OF the splendid service which has
been given by the men who have help
ed tC make our road what it is. There
is a real inspiration in the story of
the life of Engineer Charles w.
rockingham. We are indebted to
Mr.. D. Brandenburg of the Demo-
crat Printing Co., Madison, for the
facts which are given in this article.
"A unique and remarkable record
in railway service is that of Charles
W. rockingham, now at II, retired,
on the Chicago and North Western
Pension Roll, and residing at Madi-
son Wisconsin. For so years and
months he was actively employed di-
rectly on an engine; two of those
years as fireman; during the extend
ed period there never was a month
but what, as he says, he had some
thing coming from the pay car AL
most stranger yet, practically every
week of his work-a-day life was on
the Madison division, a little only on
the Wisconsin division, but these two
divisions were then under a united
superintendency. When he finally
left the road, honorably retired, he
was the oldest engineer in the point
OF service on the entire system.
"But for extraordinary caution he
might have figured in one of the worst
railway accidents in history. This
was in the summer of 1876, when he
had a special train of nine coaches,
occupied by some 500 members of the
Illinois State Guard homeward bound
for Chicago from a Fourth of July
celebration at Madison. This caution
prevented a serious accident and ever
after the soldiers insisted that Froth-
ingham saved their lives. They CRATE
fully awarded him gold medal in

lone electrifying episode in the life
of Engineer rockingham occurred at
the time of the Chicago holocaust in
1871. The second day after the great
fire rockingham was directed to re-
port to the First National Bank in
Madison, for what purpose he had not
the slightest conception, but following
orders he promptly appeared at the
bank, identified himself duly and was
informed that he had been accredited
so thoroughly trustworthy that he
was assigned to take Wayne Ramsey,
Cashier of the Bank, who was carry

PORTAGE DJKES WEAK;
LEGISLATORS WORRIED

The Wisconsin legislature is arous-
ed by report that bikes separating
the Wisconsin and Fox rivers near
Portage were endangered by flood
waters this spring. The Fox river
lies one and a half miles away from
the Wisconsin with its surface TWEEN
ty feet below the Wisconsin. A mar
row chain of low hills and a few dikes
are the only means of preventing the
Wisconsin river from changing its
course during high water and sweep
ing down the Fox river valley. Should
this happen thousands of acres of fine
farm land would be stripped of i'm
provements and the top soil would
be carried away, leaving gravel. This
happened at Dayton, Ohio, about ten
years ago. Considerable money must
be spent to prevent a similar disaster
at Portage, legislators say. After in
PRODUCING bill to provide 100000
as a safe guarding measure, Senator
Geo. Staudenmyer piloted party of
legislators to the scene, obtaining
visual impressions.
