CazenOvia Lays Plans
to Rejuvenate Railroad

CAZENOVIA-The Cazenoyia South
ern road, after lying practically idle
since last November, probably will re-
sumo operations in the near future if
plans of the business men of the vii
LACE to take over the rejuvenated and
decrepit rolling stock materialize.
These plans contemplate the pur-
chase of a new locomotive to take
the place of the one condemned by
government inspectors last fall
The road is the only rail traffic ar
terry Cazenovia and the northeastern
part of Richland county has, and its
inoperation has worked serious
hardship to this region.

DEWEY ESTATE
A SHADOW OF
OLD GREATNESS
Cassville Man Would Make
Place State Park.-StOne
Fences Go for Riprap.

Several miles of rock fencing which
skirt the bluffs on the Dewey farm,
on the outskirts of Cassville, and run
parallel to the highway leading to
that historic old spot, have recently
been removed and fed into the NAV of
the Mississippi to be used for dam
and rip-rap purposes.
These stone fences, erected over so
years ago by Nelson Dewey, Wiscon-
sins first governor, who owned an i'm
mense tract of land hereabouts of
which only $50 acres, comprising the
present homestead remain, have been
objects of wonder and interest not on
ly to the casual tourist and other
chance visitors, but to travellers and
passengers on the Burlington road.
which runs through this picturesque
tract
Havoc of Time
Of course, time and the elements
had worked havoc with certain sec
lions of these fences, some of which
were in badly delapidated condition
and sadly in need of repair, but it is
also surprising to note in what a re-
markable state of preservation other
parts of these long rows of fences
were found after years of exposure to
the elements.
State Should Acquire
1t is regrettable that the state has
not seen fit to acquire this piece of
property and preserve it for its SEN
timental and historic value and thus
incidentally honor and perpetuate the
memory of Wisconsin's first governor
Perhaps only few people in the
state are aware that Wisconsin's first
governor made Cassville his home. He
passed away in what is now the Den
niston Hotel 4-story brick building
originally intended as the state cap
itol. The undertaken who prepared his
body for burial has just retired from
business here, and a great many of
our townspeople knew the first gov
ernor intimately He passed away
about 35 years ago and his remains
were taken to Lancaster, the county
seat, for burial.
While a state park in the north
western part of the county has been
named in his honor, and life-sized
monument graces the court house
lawn in Lancaster, his real home
town, Cassville to which he was de-
voted and where he chose to spend
his remaining years following his re-
tirement from public life, has been
overlooked in bestowing honor to his
memory.
Tribute is Due
1t may require another generation,
once again removed, to fully appreci-
ate the Importance, both from senti-
mental and historic viewpoint, which
attaches to his residence and assoc1-
alton in this community. When the
present residents who knew him per-
sonally and intimately and can recall
many of his characteristics, and re-
late incidents and anecdotes-when
they, too, have passed beyond, per
haps the State Historical Society or
some other organization will endeav-
or to gather data and otherwise pay
tardy tribute to the memory of one so
distinguished. though obviously neg
lected.-J. NJ. G.

at present.
a graduated surtaX scale between
the one per cent on $4,000 and
