THE ROAD DOWN THE BLUFF NEAR ALMA, WISCONSIN: MISSISSIPPI RIVER 



The country at the head of the "Father of Waters" was once the scene of hard-fought 

 Indian wars and in those days, not so long ago. a wilderness of vast expanse. Now it is 

 thickly settled by farmers, whose fields of golden wheat have brought them wealth, and 

 many of whom now superintend the work on their farms from the rear seat of an automobile.
