Hikers Enjoy
Day at Dekorro

The Limousine club"-Rev. E.
C. Henke, Rev. Henry Harris, NJ.
c. CrandaH, F. H. Horstman, A
n. Buckley and H. E. Cole-tore
away to Dekorra Monday and spent
the day where once there was
much activity but which is now as
rural as a ploW E. A. Gilman in.
creased the number at Portage and
J. R. HASTE came from his farm
stead a few miles away.
Dekorra is not far below Port
age and here once was erected a
gristmill so early there was none
at Baraboo, Columbus, Madison,
Poynette or for long ways around.
Crisis were brught for forty
miles and so prosperous did the
business become $50 barrels of
flour were ground in a day, says
the History of Columbia County"
1880. First there was a pole ferry
across the Wisconsin river, then at
different times there were two
cable ferries, also there were two
taverns, stores, blacksmiths and
other industries but when the rail
road reached Portage the sands OF
Dekorra soon ran through and
nothing since has banished the
blues lowering over the place.
Long ago the last lumber raft pass
ed down the river, long ago the
last steamboat faded in the dis
lance, and long ago the postmas-
ter sent his supplies back to the
government.
Lumber brought down in RATS
was hauled all over Columbia coun-
ty, in fact as far as Madison. Where
there once was a lumber yard
there now grows a forest and the
happy mixers ate their picnic
chicken dinner, prepared by Rev.
and Mrs. Henke, amidst panic OF
fallen leaves. Old streets are now
gullies and the roads leading to
the deserted village have turned
vagabond.
First Curling
Probably the first curling in
Wisconsin was on Rocky run at
DekorTa. Some "canny Scots" pur-
Joined their wives flatirons and
on the icy bosom of the stream
made initial scores. Later blocks
Of wood and granite were used.
No games are played today anu
the old curling rink building looks
as if something allied it now.
Water from the interior of the
earth is brought up by a windlass
and the reasons for this are as
plentiful as cranberries in October.
A Chicago group has purchased
land at Dekorra, plated the site,
and a new hamlet may arise, but
not one of pioneers and rivermen.
During the day Mr. HASTE re-
called the company with many
amusing incidents which have
tickled the risibilitics of those who
have dwelt there in the distant
past; then as the shadows were
length ening eastward, some one
stepped on the starters and the
cars were soon raising a dust on
the trunk highways.

AUGUST IS BUSY FOR TRAFFIC CLUB
Many Cases Handled. Rated Reductions Are
 Secured

One of the busiest months of the. year for the Birmingham Traffic asso- ciatiof is reflected in the August re- port made public by c. D. Jones, sec retary, Thursday.
 During the month 15 re-alignments of freight rates, covering wide terri tory and variety of commodities, were handled by the body with the carriers. Some of these included rates on beans from Louisville to Birmingham, struc- tural steel rate from Birmingham to Ocoee, Tenn. carbide from Anniston to Birmingham; liquid extract from De- catur to certain Georgia points; paper boxes from Birmingham to southern points; peaches from c. and O. rail- road to Birmingham, and bakery goods from Birmingham to variaus southern points.
 The association handled a number of cases before the Alabama Public Service commission. Featuring these was one resulting in a decision to reduce the joint line scale on ground limestone, and hearings on rates for less carload shipments of tropical fruits, rates on paper tablets, brick and clay products.
 Rates quoted by the organization to- tailed 11,300; expense bills checked, 17,347; errors discovered, $5,5O6; claims paid, 305, which amounted to $7,494.
 Two new members, J. R. Waldrop and company and Alabama Iron and Fuel company, were added to the asso- citation during the month.

CITY IS NAMED
 ISSUING POINT
 FOR AUTO TAGS

ID BIRMINGHAM has been desig- ID mated as the distributing point
 for all automobile tags to be used in this state fo rthe year be- ming Oct. 1. To supervise the dis tribution, Frank c. Marquis, asso- ciate member of the state tax com mission, arrived from Montgomery Thursday. He expects two solid cars of tags to reach Birmingham within the next day or two.
 The tax commission will consign them to the probate offices in all parts of the state. One car will be sent to Montgomery, it was stated. This year the state commission ex- poets Alabamians to used 250,000 tags. Birmingham, it was stated, will require 30,000. MT. Marquis declared Alabama used only 50,000 tags when he went into office, and at this time the number will amount to a quarter of million, indicating the remarkable growth of the auto mobile business in this state during a period of about Il years.
 Autoists should arrange to obtain their tags by Oct. 1, or as soon thereafter as possible. The license will become delinquent Nov. 15 and there after penalty of 15 per cent is added.

DAM WILL RAISE
 CO0SA SIX FEET
Those Having Objections To Project Advised
 To File Them
(Gadsden Bureau)

GADSDEN, Ala, Sept. 4.-The fed eral power commission at Washington has given notice here that the Peoples Hydro-electric company of Birming- ham has made application covering a large waterpower project to extend from a point near Lock 2 to q point near Gadsden on the Coosa river and that those who may have objections should file them with the commission. Those who want hearings or have pro- tests to submit are also referred to the commission.
 The Birmingham concern was recent ly granted permission to. erect the plant by the Alabama public service commis- sion, the Alabama Power company withdrawing similar petition. If the dam is built as planned it will raise the level of Coosa river fully six feet at Gadsden and will obliterate all ob- structions to navigation between here and Greensport.
 Saves Girls Life-In order to save the life of a little girl, who suddenly darted in front of him, State Senator Inzer deliberately turned his car into the sidewalk on Fourth street. His ma chine crashed into telephone pole IS inches in diameter and snapped it off at the ground as if it had been a reed. The car was undamaged save for bent fender and rod. MT. Inzer was ac- companied by Judge James l.. Herrin. Neither was hurt.
 HolsOn To Be Released-Robert Hol- son, 22-year-old white man, who was arrested last Sunday on the charge of attempting to assault two 9-year-old girls, will probably be released from jail Friday. Despite the fact that the girls and policeman positively identi- fled him as the man wanted, it is said the parents of tie children are averse to further publicity in the case.

ELECTRIC HOME OPEN TO PUBLIC
 AS SHOW PLACE
Ideal Equipment Placed On Exhibition By Elec-
 trical League

Birmingham has an Electrical sHome" at last. For the past few Imonths the perfect Electrical Home lhas taken the country by storm.
 Prompted by the success of these homes in other cities, The Age-Herald, in cooperation with the Electrical League of Birmingham desires to give the people of Birmingham an oppor- tunity to see a perfectly constructed Electrical Home" They have secured a beautiful Spanish residence which has the very latest and most modern cleo trical equipment and will open 1t to the people of Birmingham. l..
 This home located on the top of Milner Heights to the left of Key Circle at 2811 Argyle road, is now completed and will .fbe opened to the public at 2 D. m. next Thursday, Sep tember Il. Visitors will be welcomed every day from 2 to 10 p. m. until Sun day, September 21.
 The beautiful architecture of this home as we'll as the setting is in itself a well worthwhile sight. In it's cleo trical wiring, lighting, and equipment it is second to none eyer opened in any city in the country. From the front  sible use has been made of the cleo trical servant through light or appli- ances. Every light is controlled from two or more sources; every switch has radium button that, is luminous at night; every fixture has been chosen to fit it's particular place; every appli- ance has been provided for labor saving and comfort superaBundance of con- venient outlets exists flor the use of light and appliances where needed.
 The average home does not have suf- ficient electrical outlets properly to light it or to enable the household to use conveniently the various labor saving devices necessary for their com fort in this modern age. The purpose of this Electrical Home" is to show what can be done in the way of prop erly wiring and equipping a home. The Electrical Leage of Birmingham is only asking the people to come and see; there is no admission fee, nothing is for sale, and visitors will not be asked their names.
 This home will be in charge of train ed men and women from the electrical industry of Birmingham. They will guide the guests through and explain to them the details of this perfect home.
