Recalls Pioneer Days
Of Grant, She ridan And
sMcCLeIIan in Far Northwest

Little known incidents in the
early careers OF. Generals Ulysses
S. Grant, Phil Sheridan and George
B. Mcclellan are related in an ac-
count of year they spent at old
Fort Vancouver, Oregon territory,
written by Mrs. Della B. Sheffield,
who as the wife of a sergeant in
the fourth United States infantry,
the command to which they were
attached, shared their pioneering
experiences there in pre-Civil war
days.
A movement has been launched
to restore old Fort Vancouver near
what is now Vancouver, Wash,
across the Columbia river from
Portland, Ore. The fourth United
States :Ifantry, one of the. pioneer
organizations of the army, now is
stationed at Fort George Wright,
Spokane.
Mrs. Shefield's memoirs of these
days have been made public by
William S. Lewis, historian of the
Eastern Washington Historical So
ciety, who received them from Mrs.
Caroline Halfway Cook, Mrs. Shelf
fields daughter. M
General, then Captain Grant, was
regimental quartermaster and was
in charge of the transportation of
the fourth infantry on it's long jour
new from Governors Island, New
York, to Fort Vancouver in 1852.
The trip was commenced on July
5, by steamer for Aspinwall. Pan
anna, and thence across the 18TH
mus of Panama by train, boat, on
muleback and afoot. The officers
were accompanied by their fami-
lies and some of the women car
ried small babies.
To add to the difficulties of the
! journey, the California gold rush
was in full swing, and after the reg
iment had boarded afsteamer on
the Pacific side of the isthmus,
Asiatic cholera broke out. San
Francisco was reached Sept. 1, but
no shore leave was granted for fear
of assertions to- seek gold. At
Benecia, Calf, an army post, the
regiment went into camp to recu-
perate until Sept Is, and then
again boarded ship for Fort Van
couver, which was reached some
days later. i'n els

CHERRY CROP
FALLS SHORT
Many Orders for Fruit
At Sturgeon Bay
Can't Be Filled
(Ry the United Pressl

Many housewives in the state
are destined to go without home
canned cherries this year, states
the department of markets in Mad
ison due to the fact that this years
crop fell far short of expectations.
Cherry growers of the state ex-
perisnced an unusual demand for
their product this year and as the
shipping season is coming to a
close in the famous Sturgeon Bay
section there are scores of orders
for carloads of cherries with no
cherries to fill them with. The
crop of early cherries was shorter
than usual, due largely to adverse
weather. The late cherries which
were of better quality than the
earlier ones, also did not turn out
to be as large q, crop as was hop
ed for and there are fruit dealers
in the state who have been unable
to get cherries to meet housewives
demands.
Wisconsin cherries have estab-
lished great reputation for them-
selves in other states and large
numbers of cars have been shipped
to Minnesota and South Dakota
this year. The department has
experts helping the growers to
grade and market their chop to
better advantage and this years
cherries are selling for more money
than for a number of years. The
amount of cherries available for
canning purposes was decidedly
short at Sturgeon Bay and there
will be many untitled orders for the
canned goods.

have been murdered to date this
year. If that pace Of the last I'll
days continues for the next 154

That estimate is comparable with
BAT Chicago murders last year, 27O

WIFE ADMITS
SETTING fires
Takes Blame for "a
BlaZes at Farm
Be Called

The mystery surrounding the 81
fires at the farm home and barn
of Matthias M. Eden at Ellis, near
Stevens Point, two weeks ago, was
solved Friday with the confession
of Mrs. Elizabeth Eden, wife OF
the farm owner, that she set the
fires.
Mrs. Eden is being held under
observation of physicians at the
county Jail. The confession was
made to Dist. Atty. w. E. Atwell,
Sheriff D. H. Parks and Deputy
State Fire Marshal Boyd G. Laid
of Eau Claire. Mrs. Eden said
she was assisted in starting all but
the first fire by her youngest sons,
Joseph, 10, and James, 8. No
plausible reason was given by her
for the acts.
An investigation has been under
way ever since the fires occurred.
Mrs. Eden was examined earlier
this week for her sanity and pro-
nounced sane. The probe was
continued by Ladd, resulting in the
confession. If the woman is
found sane after a second examin-
alton, a warrant will be asked
charging arson, Mr.. Atwell said.

Besides the army barracks there,
the town consisted of the Hudson
Bay company's trading post and
dozen log huts of Indian and half
breed employees of the company,
which carried on extensive trap
ping operations with Fort vancou-
yer as the base. M
In order to raise the money to
bring his family from the east,
Captain Grant with a fellow officer
leased a tract of land not far from
the fort which he planted to POI
tatoeS and oats. However, Mrs.
Sheffield's account relates, the
river flooded out the crops.
In the spring of 1853 Captain
Grant asked Mrs. Sheffield to take
into her home as boarders himself,
Lieut.. Phil Sheridan, Capt. George
B. Mcclellan and two others. When
she objected that she would be
unable to care for so large house
hold, Captain Grant replied:
ooh, that can be easily managed.

who is good cook to do the cook
ing, and besides, have an excel
lent cook book and am a pretty
good cook myself. l am sure that
we shall manage very we'll"
Grant missed his wife very much
at this time and frequently ex-
pressed a desire to resign from the
army and live with his family,
which some time later he did. After
the potato failure, Grant and his
business associate bought all the
chickens for 20 miles around and
/ chartered a vessel to ship them to
market in San Francisco The ship
returned with the news that the
chickens had died on the way, how
ever, thus dealing a second blow to
Grants fortunes.
When Grant was ordered to re-
port for duty at Humboldt, Calf,
he gave Mrs. Sheffield his cook
book, his feather pillows and some
trinkets.

Eleven years ago next Wednes-

into panic stricken Belgrade.
He little realized that he was
initiating The most terrible catas-

profoundly modified the map of
the world and the lives of all the

Now, seven years after the end

Only seven years after the most

Fame at Washington. It will
erect memorials without number
in his honor, but it can never pay
him greater tribute than to carry

to bring nearer realization the
ideals for which he laid down his
life"

forthcoming political campaign to
elect a United States senator to
fill the seat left vacant by the death
of La Toilette in which it is said,
he will stump the state in the in
terests of the candidacy of Robert
M. La Toilette Jr.
He pleaded for perpetuation of

Robert M. La Toilette was the faith

was compelled to lay down, and
carry it forward to completion. His
death must not be the end of the
progressive movement but merely
milestone in it's progress.
wisconsin owes so much to the
inspired leadership of La Toilette
Through his efforts Wisconsin be
came the pase-maker for the ma
ton. Many of the progressive laws
that are now in force all over the
states were first enacted here. The
direct primary, the corrupt prac
tees act, the al yalorem taxation
of railroads and the establishment
of an industrial commission to ad
minister all laws dealing with la
bor-all these were enacted in Wis
consin while most of the other
states were only beginning to dis
cuss them.
Here in Wisconsin, too, under
La Follette's leadership was begun
that fight against special privilege
which has since been carried to the
national capitol La Toilette, il
was who first dared challenge those
vested interests who were seeking
to rob the people of their rights
to self government.
Let every loyal son and daugh
ter of Wisconsin rally to this cause
We must beep bright this torch
