Lake Winneconne, which gives its name to the village and town of Winneconne, is named for a Menominee chief whose name has been spelled Wau-nau-ko. In the treaty made by Gov- ernor Dodge at Cedar point in 1836 the name of the lake is rendered Wah-ne-kau-nah. In a deed in possession of the author signed by Joseph Jourdain, witnessed by Eleazer Williams and drawn by his secretary, D. J. Wautman, who also witnessed it, selling for $168 a piece of land at Waynacomnah, where the Indian blacksmith shop stands, on the west side of Wolf river, containing 160 acres with a dwelling house and other improve- ments to John L. Williams, August 7, 1849. This was the prop- erty afterward known as Williamsburg.
Waukau. was Lapones village and is said to mean zigzag, or lightning. It is the name of the river outlet of Rush lake and empties into Fox river, and the name of a village in the town of Rushford.
Menasha is named from the Winnebago village on Doty island, Mini-ha-ha, laughing waters, referring to the twin falls around the island.
Neenah is a Menominee word for water and originated as a modern name for the Fox river by Governor Doty, who inspired Captain Cram, engineer, to give the name to Fox river, suppos- ing it was the Indian name of the river. The name as attached to the Fox river did not survive, but it still remains the name of a small river tributary to the Fox near Portage. The original name of the village of Neenah, as well as Menasha, was Win- nebago Rapids. It was finally changed to Neenah upon con- solidation of both village plats of Neenah. The township had been named Neenah long before the village.
Oshkosh is named, as explained in another place, for the chief of that name. It means brave. The original spelling was Oiscoss and Oskoshe.
Omro was named for Charles Omro, one of its first traders. The street names of the town are often self-explanatory. but fre- quently there are historic or Indian names not found in any lexicon. Naymut street in Menasha, on the island, ran to the

door of Governor Doty's log cabin home and was given by him this name, which is a Menominee word meaning "welcome." Keyes street, which runs through the park, ends at the old colonial home of Capt. Joseph Keyes, one of the founders of the city of Menasha. Ahnaip street means in Menominee "at what time" and is most commonly spelled Ahnapee. Tayco street in Menasha is a corruption of Tecos road. It was the original trail on the east bank of Lake Butte des Morts from the ford across the Fox river at the foot of the lake below Caldwell's or Stroby island, and ran through Menasha and over Doty island to the mission mills at Neenah. The name harks back into the ancient times when the only house in primitive Appleton was Grignon's log cabin inn, called the "White Heron," located on the north bank of Fox river about a mile above the Grand Chute natural waterfall as early as 1838 and known as Tecos point. Appleton was in 1846 known as Tecos point, where Crafts had a box on a post, which was the first postoffice of Appleton.

Bounteous Year.
From an editorial in the "Oshkosh Daily Northwestern," an extract from which is copied here, it would seem that this year (1907), while the crops are ten per cent short, the farmers are still to have increased returns because of increased prices re- ceived. This paper says: "According to an estimate made by 'The American Agriculturist,' a recognized authority on farm and crop statistics, the farmers of this nation will be more than a billion dollars better off this year as a result of their harvests than they were last year. It is admitted that the farm crops this season will be about ten per cent less in quantity than they were in 1906, which was the bumper season. but the crops of 1907 will still fully equal the average yields for the five years prior to last season. The preliminary review of crops made by 'The Agriculturist' also emphasizes the fact that because of the increased prices the leading staples this year will net the farmers over $500,000,000 more than they received for the same crops last year. while their total gains as the result of high prices for other products of the farm will more than double this amount."
Value of Land and Products from the Census of 1905.
