SAUK COUNTY
IS FAVORED
Rich in Agriculture,

ducts nd water
Powers Numerous
Highways

Sank county is one of the favor
ed counties in the state. Each
year there is produced a great va.
riety of farm products on many diff
ferent kinds of soil. Thousands of
herds of cattle Craze on grassy
slopes. bringing to the dairyman
millions in wealth.
State and county trunk highways
are found in every section, making
transportation a pleasure in the re-
gion. Sank county has been one
of the foremost in the state in road
construction and this has not only
added to the wealth but to the
pleasure of those residing here and
to those who come for business or
pleasure.
Sank county was named for the
Sank Indians who once inhabited
this region. They had their main
village where Sank city and Prairie
du Sac are located, the Fox tribe
living with them. When these
Indians were moved to Illinois their
place was taken by the Winnebago,
remnants of which tribe may oc-
casionally be seen on streets and
highways.
In the county are many thou
sand acres of timber, an asset that
many counties do not possess. In
these forests are found deer and
small game.
The county, too is favored by
many waterpowers, the numerous
mills and electric light plants turn
ing a stream of gold into the cof-
fers of the owners.
One of the most valuable assets
of the county is the scenery. No
county in the state has such a va
riety of beautiful places, these Wis,
tied by thousands annually. All
of them cannot be given here, the
following being but partial list:
Devils Lake State Park, Mirror
lake, Congress hall, old Newport,
Man Mound park, Natural bridge,
Parfrey's glen, Ableman narrows,
Narrows Creek narrows, and many
others. Just outside the county
are the famous Dells, pretty Dur
wards glen, and historic Jenkin

crowded by any means, but they hold
more grain awaiting transportation

II! Inc ASSofiated PreSS.
NEW YORK, September IG.-Inter-
national bankers are making d care
full study of the amount of new bust
ness created by the foreign loans
foated in the American market.
British bankers are known to have
been successful in former years in in
ducing foreign buyers to spend
large part of the proceeds of their
loans in England. and with New York
superseding London as the financial
center of the world. it is not unlikely
that local bankers will endeavor to
stimulate the export business of this
country.
While no accurate figures are avail
able at present as to what percent
age of foreign borrowings was sent
here, considerable interest has been
aroused by the recent Department of
Commerce report showing that the
overseas trade of the world in 1923
totaled $4,000. 900 900. of which our
share amounted to II per cent, as
compared with 10i4 per cent in 1913,
