cnt towns and landings, from whence the whole country adja¬ 
cent is supplied with lumber. Fond du Lac, also, is indebted 
to this region for her entire lumber trade, including all the 
pine logs that have been transported by Rail Road to Lake 
Iloricon, and down Rock river to Janesville and intermedi¬ 
ate towns. Neenah, Menasha and Appleton also obtain most 
of their pine logs from this Wolf river country. 
The north-western, western and southern portions of the 
county are more hilly; the bluffs and high hills being liberally 
supplied with granitic and sienite boulders. The timber is of 
little value, except in places upon the streams and in and 
around the swamps and marshes, consisting chiefly of white, 
black and burr oaks, and white birch and poplar. The table 
lands are more free from stone, and generally burr oak open¬ 
ings or prairie. 
The Waupaca river flows through and waters the south-west¬ 
ern part of the county. It rises from and is sustained by springs 
and perennial lakes interspersed among the hills. Many of 
these lakes have no visible outlet; others have beautiful, limpid 
and constant streams flowing from them, the water of which 
as well as that of the springs, is generally impregnated with 
lime, a deposit of w T hich in the shape of marl is found in very 
many of the lakes. 
The Waupaca river discharges its waters into Wolf river in 
the north-eastern part of town twenty-three, range thirteen. 
About two miles from its mouth the village of Weyauwega is 
situated, w T here there is a very valuable water power, improved 
by the “Weyauwega Mill Company;” whereon they have 
erected an extensive flouring mill and saw mill, both of which 
keep running constantly. Between Weyauwega and Waupaca 
Falls, a distance of about nine miles, there are a number of 
water-powers not yet improved. 
The village of Waupaca is situated at the falls of the river, 
near the west line of town twenty-tw T o, range twelve. Here 
the river at low stage discharges about 1,200 cubic feet of wa¬ 
ter per minute, and has a fall of eighty-three feet in two miles. 
There are only three dams erected here, and the power thus
