demanding the license and inspection
fees from all public dances, regard
less of who is giving the dance.
This rule goes into effect December

ST. CROIX VALLEY
PIONEER is CALLED
Mrs. Maria Bolles, Last OF The Ter
ritorial Settlers, Dies At Still
water AT Age of 80

Mrs. Maria Boiles, pioneer of
pioneers in the st. Croix Valley, died
at Lakeview Memorial Hospital, Still
water, Wednesday, Nov. II, at the
age of SO years.
Mrs. Rolles came to what is now
Saltwater on June 20, 1874, with her
mother, Mrs. Lydia Carl, and her
younger brother, Joseph R., who has
been dead for number OF years.
Mrs. Bolles has lived in Saltwater
continuously, and was loved and hon
oded by the entire citizenry of the ST..
Croix Valley, of which she was the
only remaining territorial pioneer.
The life of Mrs. Bolles is the life
and growth of the St. Croix Valley
and the entire northwest. Coming to
the valley when only 6 years old,
Mrs. Bolles has witnessed the changes
wrought in the wilderness by the
hand of modernism, has seen the
once wild and mighty st. Croix river
and lake dwindled down to half its
former size.
When Mrs. Carl and her two
youngsters arrived at Grey Cloud
Island, below st. Paul, in 1841, MAX
ing the trip by boat from the point
on Lake Michigan, which is now Chi
cage, st. Paul Cor Pigs Eye), had
but a handful of settlers and st.
Anthony was little more than a
group of log huts.
The trio arrived at what is now
Saltwater June 20, then proceeded
to the log hut called the "Wigwam,"
constructed by Joseph r.. Brown,
brother of Mrs. CARL and founder of
Saltwater. In this hut Mrs. Carl,
the intellectual and cultured woman,
made her home, always in fear of an
attack by Indians who prowled
around the hills and rivers in swarms
and who always made the wigwam
their home whether welcomed or not.
In her later days. Mrs. Bolles told
many stories of those frontier
days. One night when Mrs. Carli
and the young Mrs. Bolles and the
children were sleeping alone up
stairs band of Indians came and
slept downstairs.
Mrs. Bolles was an eyewitness to
many events of savagery, especially
the scalp dance which was blood
curdling and made the children in
the wigwam cringe in horror.
Mrs CARL made friends with the
savages, however, so that the wig
wan was never attacked and the
whites never molested. Mrs. Bolles
has been a member of the St. Croix
Valley Old Settlers Association, and
every year when the association met
in Saltwater the members attempted
to elect her president.

ESCAPED TRAGIC DEATH
BUT LOSES HIS MIND

John Hopkins, the only one of four
young men to escape death in an
auto accident at Star Prairie Oct. II,
has brooded over the tragedy until
his mind has become deranged, and
he has been sent to hospital for
the insane.
Hopkins went through nine en-
gagements in the World War and two
years ago was caught under an ava
lanche of logs, but as in the auto
spill last October, he miraculously
escaped uninjured, only to have this
greater misfortune overtake him.

doc" PICKS WINNERS

We doubt if any sport expert in

There is only one little detail con-

How / Picked The Winners

When the season opened declared
that Chicago would smother Mis-

the Maroons till they benched him
so that the score keeper would have
a chance to add up the Illini tally.
Grange did his share, but Chicago
cid just as well and the game ended
at 21-all.
So then l confidently announced
that Michigan would trounce the
Illini, Grange and all-but Grange
had field day and made the Wolver-
ines look like wooden Indians.
Well, it looked a cinch to me that
Iowa would stop Grange and do some
heavy scoring themselves. But the
Cornhuskers fell fiat and let Grange
walk all over, and around, them.
Nothing daunted, sure felt l had
strangle-hold on the dope when
Illinois met the Gophers. Spalding's
outfit would be joke for Zuppke.
And of course the Gophers had TO
have their one big day and make IL
linois look like prep. school frosh.
Well, Vanderbilt sure looked like
pie for the Gophers, especially after
the Illini showing, so / picked Percy
Clapp to win last Saturday So I'd be
right on the last game anyway. The
bareheaded Commodores turned me
down fiat and made the Gophers
hunt their holes and pull the holes in
after 'em.

ouija board and then take my tips
from Col. Dyke, who thinks Rockne
is something more painful than a
