Old Bullion came to life in Goshen in Elkhart county, about 1860. This historic old gun is now mounted and stands guard at the sputheast entrance to the court house park. It is said the Goshen City council passed an action that the old cannon can speak no more in the city limits at political, religious or civil meetings. This has caused the people who liked to hear it thunder to be somewhat disappointed. The old gun’s work came about the time that A. Lincoln came out for a candidate as president of the U. S. The old gun gave goodbye to the boys in blue. It also spoke when A. Lincoln wrote and declared the Emancipation proclamation. It also rejoiced in the victory of the northern army on the southern battle fields. The old gun also served at Kendallville, Ligonier and Elkhart when promi- | nent men spoke on the issues of the day. It has done its duty on many 4th of July celebrations. From sunrise it has spoke the signal to move, on Decoration Day Old Bullion belched forth many times, when Lincoln and Garfield were killed. The old cannon was borrowed by Charles Murray and Dr. Jackson to celebrate the nomination of Tilden, then some enemy carted and rolled it into the river. It was drowned three times, buried in the earth twice. Every time someone resurrected it. The writer often saw Jerry Allen, the gun smith, who made guns in Goshen in an early day. We

CCC WORK ON FISH PONDS PROGRESSING Plans are being made by L. F. Bauer, superintendent in charge of the ECW at the Wawasee Fish Hatchery to make a concerted effort on the construction of ponds as soon as the weather breaks. So far he has been somewhat handicapped by the lack of men, but this condition is expected to be remedied soon as 81 new enrollees are expected to arrive at the camp Monday. The enrollment of men in the CCC is one of the results of the five billion relief bill. President Roosevelt’ has already turned over $300,000,000 to the CCC. To date, according to Bauer, the work completed at the hatchery is equivalent to five finished ponds. Some idea of the amount of work that has been done since August when the project began can be gained from the following figures and data: On pond No. 17 which is well on the way to completion, a 7-foot fill was necessary to take the place of the muck removed. Most of the new ponds are being constructed in muck ground, which must all be removed before actual construction of the ponds begin. The outside levy of the project which will be used as a twelve-foot truck trail is virtually completed and was made entirely from dirt fill. Along the side of the levy next to the lake betten than 700 tons of boulders have been hauled in and used to make a break-water as a protection against wave and ice action. The outlet of Lake Papakeetchie will be lined with 120 tons of broken boulders about one-half an inch in size. The outlet will then be used as a display pond. Two hundred Chinese elms—the fastest growing tree that nurserymen know—will be shipped to the hatchery this week and will be used as decorative material on the project. Hundreds of Virginia pine have been set out, also many native and imported shrubs. have a faint recollection that Jerry made and owned Old Bullion. We know he cared for and fired the old gun on court house lawn as patriotic meetings. The writer has heard this old cannon roar many times, more than 70 years ago. It could be heard for many miles. Jerry Allen has long ago gone to his fathers, but should his shadow pass the place where Old Bullion now stands there would be a different salute. We don’t know how the city of Goshen got to be the owner of the old cannon but many of the last two generations who cast glances at the cannon" as they come into the court house park do not know the history of this old gun. Uncle Lew. o SCHOOL CONTRACT LET Saturday the contract for reroofing and repairing the Tamarack school building was awarded to S. A. Bauer for $108.55.

It will be used for storage of the school hacks, which has been costing the township sl2 a year.
