market. He has just come here direct
from Switzerland and he is real
sausagemaker.
A car went over the embankment on
Sandy Hook hill on Sunday morning
and landed in the rayine many feet

and the owner had parked his car
while trying to adjust it. He finally
gave up the effort and sent for help
to a garage. He saw the men APP

released the brake. The automobile
gave quick lunge and went over the

Hogs sold for 21a cents per pound,
cattle for S12 and SIS head, butter
10 cents per pound and egs 4c per
dozen.
Lumbger was made by hauling the
logs to the mill and sawed into lum-
Der with which the log houses were
rooted and f1oored and rude furniture
made Oak and pine were the trees
principally used for lumber. The trees
were cut down with an axe and cross
cut saw and were hauled with oxen.
A great deal of wood which was cut
to clear the land was sawed into lum-
Der. Some was used for fire wood and
the rest piled up and burned.
Lumber was sawed at the John
Garthwaite sawmill on Grant river.
There was a sawmill erected by four
men, namely: Thomas Beswick, Will
liam Mclean, Mr.. Blackburn and Mr..
Strayer. That mill burned down, was
rebuilt and used for saving lumber
by many of the pioneers.
In 1858 Davis Day built sawmill
on Grant river and later sold it to Mr..
Greener who put in burs for grind
ing grain. 1t was then used for saw
ing as well as grinding. Farther up
the river J. Allen Barber built saw
mill and sold it to Anton Schmidt.
He used it for sawmill for while
and then turned it into a grist mill.
He also manufactured linSeed oil and
oil cake Mr. Schmidt sold the mill
to a Scotchman named George Gray.
He ground feed and grain there in the
SOS. The power used to operate these
mills was a huge wheel turned by the
water of the rivers on which they
were located. They did not ship any
lumber and there was no market val
ue place on the lumber, as each per-
son who wanted lumber cut down
trees, hauled the logs to the mill and
had his lumber sawed.
Chapter IIl-Trade and Commerce
In pioneer days trade was carried
on with the general store in the near
est town or settlement.
There was very little commerce
with the outside world They had no
trading with the Indians. All trans
portation by oxen was very slow, but
they could haul very heavy loads.
They could make about 20 miles a
day. Stage coaches were used to car
ry mail and passengers.
In 1847 the mail was brought by
stage to the first postoffice located on
Blakes Fork near the Garthwaite saw
mill. The postmaster's name was
Chauncy Underwood.
Later in about 1852 the postoffice
was moved to the Ben ]. Garthwaite
farm and Mrs. Belle Garthwaite was
postmistress. Then after the war the
postoffice was transferred to Blakes
Fork and kept first by man named
Henry Knapp.
The general supply store was es-
tablished in 1869, near the old wool
en- mills by man named Amos Morse,
and was used by the settlers to buy
supplies. The building burned in 1873.
The first blacksmith shop was near
the wooden mills and owned by man
named Henry Norwood.
The first railroad to enter Grant
county was in October 1856. 1t ran
westward from Madison and entered
Grant county at Muscoda. 1t was call
ed the Prairie du Chen and Madison
railroad. The first railroad into Lam

PUPILS WRITE
HISTORY. OF
BOWEN SCHOOL

The following history of school dis
trict No. Z, Little Grant, was written
in story form by the 9TH grade his
tory class, 1928 and 1924-Martha
Plautz, Eda R. Plautz, Gwendolyn E.
Tanner, Frances Joyce.
Chapter 1.-The First Settlers
The first settlers were mostly emil
grants from foreign lands-England,
Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Germany,
and few Southerners.
These men hearing of the vast acres
of fertile lands came to southwestern
Wisconsin, not to speculate but to
make permanent homes for themselves
and their families, to build mills,
stores and blacksmith shops, to test
the fertility of the soil and to convert
the virgin forests and broad meadows
into an agricultural community. This
was the dream of the early pioneers.
They were all sturdy men and wom-
en- and had no fear of hard work and
privations. On arriving in this coun-
try some stayed for a time in the
east but gradually worked their way
westward. Some came up the Mis-
sissippi river, some came by the
Great Lakes to Milwaukee, some came
by OK teams and some came on foot.
Many of them brought only their
families, few cooking utensils and
an axe. Others came with OK teams
and brought household goods, and
few who were a little better off
brought some cattle and pigs.
This particular site was chosen by
the early settlers on account of the
many springs, natural water courses,
and an unlimited woodland.
The first homes were built about
the year 1889 or 1910.
Chapter 1.-THE First Industries
The first industries were sawmills
to convert the logs into lumber, gr1st
mills to grind the wheat and corn in
to flour and meal, blacksmith shops
to shoe horses and oxen and repair
the rude implements which the p1-
oneers brought to work with.
Farming was done on limited
scale, as the land first had to be
cleared and broken. With the few
tools at hand it was slow work.
The crops that were raised were
corn, wheat and potatoes. Hay was
put up for winter food for stock. In
the summer the stock were allowed
to roam at will. All supplies were
brought by oxen and horses from Mil
waukee, Galena, Cassville and Pra.
du CHEN. The implements that were
used for farming were the plows,
breaking plows, double shovel plows,
cythes and cradles.
The buildings in pioneer days were
log houses and log stables with few
exceptions, those being of rock and
one in this district was brick.
All produce that was for market in
the earlier days of settlement was
carried by wagon to Cassville and
Galena. Later other towns sprang up
and good markets were established at
Lancaster, Cassville and Bridgeport.

caster was the Chicago and North
western in 1871.
Chapter Manufacturing
Wooden cloth and bed blankets
were manufactured at the WEIGH
wooden mills All clothing and yarn
were made at home and yarn was then
knit into stockings.
Chapter V-HOme Life
Comforts and conveniences were an
unknown quantity in the pioneer life
of Little Grant settlers. Early settlers
suffered many privations. In some
families there were but one pair of
boots which the children wore alter
nately. Those having to help do the
chores would wear the boots and when
their task was done the boots would
be passed on to another member of
the family. Clothing of all kinds was
very scarce and they got along with
as little as possible.
Continued next week.

TILDEN is OPPOSED
TO BAN ON WRITING

PHILADELPHIA, January 4.-Wil-
liam T. Tilden, I'd. national tennis
champion, does not like the proposed
rule to declare ineligible for amateur
competition players who write for
substantial profit.
Tilden said today the ruling ap-
pears drastic and the game probably
would suffer more through the loss
of tennis articles by men who know
restriction.
Il do not see how it can affect me.
as was in the newspaper game three
years before I competed in the ma
tional championships, and have
written continuously for newspapers
and magazines and have written
books.
IF the tennis association desires
players not to use championship
titles with their signed articles / be-
lfeve that it would be quite within
their right to prohibit a man from
using such titles in connection with
his name on such articles. But / can
not see why he should be prohibited
from writing, which is an honorable
and recognized vocation nor do l see
why he should be restricted in the
use of his name, which certainly he
is entitled to use always, provided
he writes personally all his own ar
ticles. No one can or would attempt
to justify selling his name to articles
which he did not write
Evening star., 1924-01-04

Succinctly. the report, covering two
ordinary newspaper columns Etates
that the committee finds that player
who engages in current tennis tour
naments and contemporaneously en-
cages in the business of writing ten
mis- articles about the play in such
tournaments or otherwise about ten
mis-. and receives substantial compen-
sation therefrom, is not an amateur
as defined by the bylaws of the L. ;.
l.. T. A.
That single word "substantial
leaves the application or interpreta-
tion of the proposed resolution abso-
lutely in the power of the executive
committee to enforce. Whatever sum
of money this committee decides is
"substantial." therefore, VIII be SUM-
cient cause for barring player from
competing in amateur tournaments.
Some seven or eight years ago the
cases of Maurice Mclaughlin, former
national singles and doubles cham
pion, and Thomas G. Bundy, his dou-
bles partner. attracted nationwide
attention. when they were barred
from entering the business of opening
a sporting goods store in San Fran
cisco. This case attracted attention
the country over because OF the
prominence of the california Comet
at that time Mclaughlin and Bundy
retired from the sporting goods pusl-
ness.
Today one sees a national cham
pion. a former DAVIS cup team Cap
tain. a former holder of several ma
tionaI titles, and three or four other.
but less prominent. players contrlbut-
ing more or I-ss regularly, with most
of the output being syndicateo.: thus
obtaining a nationwide circulation
In at least one instance the imam
ciaI returns from this and other
sources, all identified with the writer's
fame as a player, are said to reach
into five figures.
In order to be fair to those players
who are already under contract 10
etc. the executive committee recon-
mends that the ruling shall not go
into effect until January /, 1925.
Mo- action has been recommended
reearding the writing of books on
tennis for money, because the com
mittee believes that the income or a
time and will always be so slight
that it does not constitute a serious
abuse.

.BRlTONS TO COMPETE
IN Penn RELAY MEET

PHILADELPHIA, January 4.-The
annual relay carnival of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania to be held
on Franklin Field April, % 1nd 26,
again is assured of an international
atmosphere by the participation of
runners from Cambridge University
of England.
Acceptance of an invitation. ex-
terded by Pennsylvania athletic au-
thorities. was received yesterday from
w. c. Bristowe, president of the
Cambridge University A. &.
Bristowe stated that Cambridge
would send relay team and at least
two men for the special events. One
of these men probably will be a dis
tance runner who will compete in
the two-mile International race. The
makeup of the relay team had not
been determined when Mr.. Bris-
towe's letter was written, and neither
had it been definitely decided in
which events the team would be
entered. He said, however. the team
probably would run in one Of the
medley races on the first day of the
meet and in either the one, two or
four mile relays on the final day.
