Already Begun.

J. L. Pennifll and W. X. Cook,
representing the Northwestern
railroad are in the city again, arriv-
ing Tuesday. Mr.. Pennifill repeated
the Statement to representative of
the REPORTER that the contract for
grading had been let, covering the
line from Princeton to Almond, and
that work on the bridge crossing the
Fox river at Princeton had already
been commenced. Mr.. Pennifill says
the Northwestern people feel that
Grand Rapids has shown but little
enthusiasm over their proposed COM
ing to this city and have made rather
a cold response to their friendly over
lures. He suggests that Stevens
Point is only twenty odd miles away
and the people there are very reSpon-
sive to everything looking to increased
railroad facilities. The suggestion
should receive the thoughtful cOnSid-
Grafton Of this community. No one
factory or mill would add to our
population and wealth as much as
would the coming of the Northwestern

tagging in his efforts to bring about
this happy community of interests

To ELECTRIC LIGHT Consumers
We have decided to make Il reduction
on the price of incandeScent lamps
and while it will cost us considerable
to make this change we are satisfied
that by so doing we will lose nothing
as we will be able to give our customers
a better light with less current than
We have been able to do heretofore.
After a great deal of experimenting
and investigation we have found that
the highest price lamp is the best
lamp and the cheapest lamp we can
use and we find that a large number
of electric light users never change
their lamps until they burn out.
After lamp has burned above a
certain limit the candle power de-
creases rapidly while the current
consumption decreases very little. No
lamp should be burned over 900 hours
and some not over 600 to 800 hours.
We are placing new make Of lamp
for sale, different from any which has
heretofore been used They will be
found for sale in all drug stores il; the
CITY and at the Centralia Hardware
store at twenty-five cents each or s.. 10
per dozen. When these lamps burn
out or burn long enough SO the candle
power decreases enough to be noticed
you may return them to the store and
we will allow you fifteen cents apiece
for the 16 c. p. and ten cents apiece
for the s c, p. lamps in exchange for
new ones. This will make reduction
of about what the lamps have cost
heretofore. No lamps will be eX-
changed unless the glass is whole. We
urgently advise ali cOStumerS to
change their lamps at once so as to
get the benefit of the cheaper price
and better light.
We also wish to call the attention OF
customers without meters to the fact
that it takes steam to make electric
current and steam takes fuel and it is
to YOUR interest, as well as ours, that
YOU be as saving as possible in the use
of YOUR light and not burn your lamps
when YOU do not need them. AS you
all know this company is not run for
the purpose of making money but to
furnish light at cost to users. The
more YOU save the more you will help
us to pay off our debts and eventually
to still further reduce the price of
electric lights.
Yours respectfully.

B0MERICH'S MEETING.
The Democratic Candidate Visits Grand
Rapids Thursday Niqht.

Louis G. Bomrich, the democratic
candidate for governor, visited this
city Thursday night and was greeted
by large crowd at the Opera House,
where he delivered lengthy address
in English and short talk in German.
He was heralded early in the campaign
as a very attractive orator, but this
he is not. He was unable to hold
closely the attention of his hearers
and many left the building before the
close of his speech. He is pleasant
appearing, young looking fellow of
mediocre ability as an orator and the
substance Of his speech was not more
remarkable than its delivery. He
proba bly, neither made nor lost vote
by his coming.

CRAN1OOR.

Cranberry picking is not yet quite
through with on some of the marshes
on account of the scarcity of pickerS
and superabundance Of water Some
growers are experimenting by ralling
in the water.
A Chicago cranberry buyer visited
Cranmoor last week offering five
dollars per barrel but was unable to
secure a car load at those figures.
Advices from New Jersey indicate
that the cranberry crop in that state
will fall short of previous estimates.
A Cape Cod grower writes that the
prices for early varieties have so far
averaged about five dollars.
