sin. However, the state geological de-
partment gives to Wausau the credit
Of having in Rib Hill the highest
point in Wisconsin.
Dinner was then served at the
Wausau hotel as guests Of the Wau-
sau Record Herald. The Wausau
hotel is Of recent construction and
is one of the imposing buildings in
the city.
In the evening dancing was en-
joyed at the Elks' club rooms as
guests of the Wausau Pilot.
Although busy program had been
laid out for Sunday the caravan did
not get very early start out of
Wausau. Some Of the eds no doubt
still felt the effects of the night
before, while others persisted in their
habit of going to church.
However, once started Wausau's
dust was soon far in the rear as the
caravan sped on to Shawano. But
before reaching Shawano a short
stop was made at Birnamwood, where
the Press band gave a cancert and
refreshments were served The
Birnamwood band greeted us upon
our arrival there.
Dinner on Indian Reservation.
AT ShaWanO the most interesting
feature Of the tour took place.
Arriving there shortly after noon
the caravan went to the Keshena
InIf,,, ,.r4..nr,.tt.ex ,,,bora yls,,.<,,s r,,,s,
served as guests Of the Shawano
Rotary club. The dinner was pre-
pared and served by Indian maidens
and included large variety of good
things. It was served out in the
open in a grove of stately pines in
the fair grounds. The balmy sun
shine and the pine laden breezes gave
the eds and their families an appetite
that helped them do justice to one
Of the best dinners of the trip.
The Keshena Indian reservation is
located a short distance out Of
Shawano and has many scenic points
Of interest that delight the tourist
and pleasure seeker. The reserva-
ton is traversed by the Wolf river,
along which natures wonders may
be seen in large numbers. A good
road makes it possible to tour the
reservation and visit some of the
interesting scenes by auto. But
time being limited the eds had to
forego that pleasure.
There are 1900 Indians on the
reservation. Their native haunts
have been maintained, for but little
timber has yet been cut. A talk
with the superintendent brought out
the fact that there remains on the
reservation more than a billion feet
Of understandable pine, together with
other woods
The Indians are rapidly taking to
agriculture and some Of them have
shown marked aptitude in tilling the
soil. They have their own fair
grounds and are now busy preparing
for their annual fair in a few weeks.
The buildings at the fair grounds in
clude places for livestock, machinery,
poultry, etc, together with dancing
pavilion and other buildings.
After dinner the party again drove
to Shawano and some time was
spent there listening to the band.
A few miles out of the city Of
Shawano is Shawano Lake, a large
clearwater lake with beautiful
shores. 1t is said to be the largest
lake in Wisconsin in a single county.
Hundreds of tourists were camped at
this lake and the shores were dotted
with cottages. White sand beaches
with clear, shallow water for a con-
siderable distance makes conditions
for bathing ideal.
On to Green Bay.
After drinking in the beauties of
Shawano Lake the run to Green Bay,
the farewell point of the itinerary,
was made. The Beaumont and the
Northland hotels housed the party.
The latter is new hotel erected
within the last few years.
Green Bay, one of the oldest
cities in Wisconsin, has many
historical points of interest. These
were pointed out and visited by the
caravan Monday morning ON tour
directed by Green Bay business men.
The first house built in Wisconsin,
remaining buildings Of old Fort
Howard, the landing place of Jean
Nicollette in 1884 and many other
interesting points that have an inn
portant part in the early history Of
Wisconsin were visited. However,
the time was limited, 50 the visits to
the various points were hasty. a
person could spend weeks At Green
Bay deking into the old historical
facts
Previous to the trip around the
bay the party visited and was shown
through the new plant of the Green
Bay Gazette.
