SOME SUGGESTIONS
FOR KEEPING ROADS
CLEAR OF BARROWS.
A great many complaints are . heard
from drivers in our city in regard to the
wheel harrows used by the men cleaning
the pavement; instead of being left in
the 'middle of the street and cleaning
from the curb towards the center, the
wheel L. v rows should be left at the curb
! and the cleaning done from the center to
j the walk: this rule is adopted in all oth
| er cities, and would be found to greatly
; reduce the blocking of the streets.
i SODDING THE GROUND
ABOUT THE NEW
FIFTH WARD SCHOOL.
The new Fifth ward school which is
just completed is being beautified from
the exterior by the sodding of the ground
about the structure. This school house is
well located, with quite a large piece of
ground about it. and when the green
grass encompasses it. it will present
even a more handsome appearance.
The sodding will he completed within a
week or two.

| GRADUAL DECLINE OF THE RED MAN.
The Historical Review Written by a Good
Authority on the Early History
of this County.
The site Of Manitowoc county was,
until n* ar the middle of the nineteenth
i century a vast wilderness of forest: un
! broken, excepting where the rivers, tiny
lakes ami creeks, like gem* in an emer
ald setting sparkled in the sunlight, or
glimmered softly in the ghostly light of
the moon. The tall pines on the hills
were green and somber against the
morning sky: the valleys were luxuriant
with the varied greens of the oak. elm
and maple, whose brilliant foliage in
the fall of the year, withthefestoonings
of the cherry-red of the Virginia creep
er, and liie scat let clusters of sumach,
made a picture that no artist would
dare to imitiate. and to which no pen
can do justice.
The low and swampy places were
dark and gloomy in the shade of the
mighty tamaracks. Stumps, tangled
underbrush and windrows of logs littered
the forest: and made it a veritable para
dise for wild animals. Herds of deer and
elk. fieet-fodid and alert. sought their
pasturage from glade to glade; clumsy
bears nosed about for roots, berries and
other toothsome morsels. Wolves, fox
es and wild- aits lurked iu the shadows.
The creeks and rivers were the haunts
of the otter and the beaver, whose soft
coats were the magnets that attracted
the first white men to the country lying
west id Lake Michigan, Flocks of pig
eons ofteq darkened the sun. The honk
of the wild goose and the quack of the
duck were familiar sounds in the neigh
borhood of ponds and lakes. The swift
and graceful hawk skimmed the tree
tops of the valleys, or darted like a shot
upon its unsuspecting prey. <>n majes
tic wing, high over the tallest pines,
soared the king of birds. And until the
white men came, all were unvexed by
the sound of a gnu. In winter, when
all animated nature was asleep in a
white blanket of ice and snow, the wierd
-igh of the winds through the pines, or
the bluster of the storm-king, and the
roar of the breakers on the icy mounds
on the lake shore, contributed to the
dreary solitude the wood*.
Indian villages were located here and
there, some mure or le** is rmaneut, snr'
rounded in summer by corn plantations
others more hastily constructed by no
madic bands, who temporarily fished or
hunted in tins region. of:en miles and
miles fro'm the favored haunts of their
tribes. The love of home is not a trait
(>f the Indian's character, excepting in a
wider sense, a fondness for certain
regions through which to roam: setting
up his habitation wherever food wa*
plentiful and where protection was as
sured against his enemies. And when,
in a few seasons, game became scarce
he gathered Ins pots and kettles, and
with his squaw and papooses wander
ed often for days and weeks, until he
found some new hunting .t lund which
struck his fancy.
Thus, during tin- two and one-halt
centuries since white men first describ
ed the magnificence of the primeval for
est which surrounded the !.<"• < i I'mins
as Green Bay wa* then designated,
branches of many tribes at one time or
another made tlii* their bunting
grinmds. Early occupa-ts ot this dis
trict in later years dwelt on the Mississ
ippi, or in Southern Michigan, and tribes
whose former homes were on the shores
of L ike Superior or in a distant state at
a later period erected their villages near
the outlets of the Manitowoc and the
Twin rivers. The Indian name foi
twin wa* id sliui'ih. from which Neshota,
the name of one of the streams is deriv
ed. Their warpaths also, often led
them over the boundaries of many of
the states of todav Brave* whose vil
lage* reposed in the warm sun of the
Illinois prairies, fought bloody battles in
this region. Flotillas of canoes from
Lake Sujierior or from Lake Huron of
ten brought war and bloodshed onto the
nations of this county. In i>eacefiil
jourueyings into the country of strange
tribes and scenes, the Indians experienc
elas keen an enjoyment as do the
pleasure seekers in strange lands today.
Their return was the occasion fur joyful
acclamations, long celebrations with
feasting and story telling.
