Late Reports on Cranberry Market.

information anent cranberries of
interest to growers and others
interested in industry has lately been
secured viz:
Lacrosse, VISIT is hard to tell
what the demand for cranberries will
be. / find that the demand for
berries is governed good deal by the
price. When prices are high the
demand is limited, but if prices are in
reach Of the poorer class of people the
increased | am not in position to
say what | think prices will rule at.
The price of Wisconsin berries
depends largely on the quantity of
berries in the east. When they have
a good crop in the east prices are low
and the eastern berries supply the
demand until late in the season.
Then when they are alone the WiSCon-
sin berries come into demand but it is
so late in the season that there is not
enough demand for them to advance
prices and clean up the crop. What
eastern berries [ have had this season
have shown good keeping quantities
and an excellent color. The informa-
tiOn L have been able to obtain would
indicate that the eastern crop is very
nice this year and is quite large. If
this is the case it would look as
though the Wisconsin berries would
have to be held until after the
eastern crop is consumed in order to
get good prices.
Boston, MasS.-Crop will exceed last
year somewhat and is estimated at
100000 barrels. Demand and prices
up to present time has been better.
We don't think the keeping qualities
Of berries as good as last season. The
market at present time is dull and
unless we have cooler weather soon
prices cannot improve any for awhile.
Omaha, Neb.-Selling about same
quantity as last year, buying Cape
Gods at six dollars Darrell.
Cincinnati, Ohio.-Demand fair,
not as good as last year, not 50 many
used yet, prospect good, have bought
some Early Blacks and MacFarlands,
have bought no late stock, have only
handled Cape Cod stock, good in size,
color and packing good. Selling today
at $3.50 full size Cape Cod barrels.
Cleveland, Ohio-We believe the
price of cranberrieS will average
probably little better than last sea-
son but not any very large increase.

SMALLPOX.
Great Scare Created by the Development of
Several Cases.

Ihe development of several cases of
smallpox IN the city the past week,
mas caused quite an amount Of excite
ment and considerable anxiety among
parents. The schools on the east side
were closed for a week in consequence
and to await the development of the
SITUATION before reSuming work. The
smallpox prevalent here and in differ
ent sections of the state is much
lighter in form and different in some
other respects to the much dreaded
and extremely fatal disease known to
carrier times in this country, and for
this reason there has been some uueS-
tlOn whether this was really smallpox.
However, the state board of health
has so pronounced it, and that it is
not so very diScOmforting and very
seldom fatal in its effect, is a matter
OF cOngratulatiOn, as it appears to be
very contagious and unless strictly
quarahtined spreads rapidly through
a community.
Whatever it may be, it is certainly
detrimental to the health and welfare
OF the community and should be
stamped out as quickly as possible.
For this reason every person should
lend every assistance possible to the
efforts of the health department in
establishing and maintaining a strict
quarantine Of all cases that comes to
light There is no good reason for
any panic or great scare to take
possession Of the people, neither
should there be any laXity in the
effort to stamp the disease out of the
town, and with unity. of effort this
can be done in six or eight weeks
time.
Ten families. all living on the east
side, have been Quarantined for small
pox. Among those reported are Will
Raymond on Baker street; w. H.
COrcoran, near the fair grounds, d. M.
Huntington, on the Biron road; Allen
Jenkins on Lincoln and Wiley streets;
Ellis Kroner on High street; Mrs.
Ricka Shafer, Fred Bunde and
Elbert Arndt on Broadway street and
John Brennan on Milwaukee street.

SANTIAGO at Merrill,

The home talent people who went
to Merrill last Saturday are all bone
again we understand, and none of the
company walked home either. That
is one Of the beauties of travelling on
round trip tickets, then if the show
don't ''pan out" to be a gold mine you
can always get home again without
great difficulty. The reader may
imagine from these statements that
the BATTLE of Santiago was not a
great success at Merrill, but here they
are mistaken again. 1t was a great sue
cess and those who heard it were
pleased with the play. Everybody's
board bill was paid and the young
people Of the company declare they
never had a more enjoyable outing
OF Course there was not much left in
the way of profits to divide with the
members of the company, but money
is not the only thing in this world
The fame of Santiago" has been
maintained in distant city, and that
is something to congratulate ones
self upon.

Railroad Melange.

Grading between this city and
MarShtield has practically been
completed, aud it is thought it will
take about ten days to finish the track
laying to this city. After this it will
be necessary to go over the road again
and have it surfaced before it is ready
for permanent use.
The first regular train over the new
road between Grand Rapids and
Princeton is slated for next Sunday,
Nov. ), schedule of it's running time
between here and points south
and east will be published later.
The new freight warehouse of this
road on Cranberry street is all finished
but painting and trimming. Work on
the passenger depot is being pushed as
rapidly as possible, but will take two
or three weeks more to finish. Both
the covered platforms and the waiting
rooms and office will be covered with a
slate roof, and a very ample raised
platform reaches from the water tank
to the depot. They will be far and
away and best equipped railroad
buildings in the city.
The new water tank has been raised
the past week and will be finished in
another week.

THE OPEN DEER SEASON.
Question that Hunters Should Settle Before
They Shoot

A deputy game warden at Oshkosh
has raised a question as to when the
open season for shooting deer begins.
1t has generally been considered that
shooting shall begin Nov. 10, but the
Oshkosh deputy insists that deer cam
not'be legally shot before Nov. II, and
his contention appears we'll founded
The law specifies that the open season
shall consist of ''the last twenty days
in November" The last twenty days
do not begin until the tenth day is
finished and the eleventh day begun.
If Nov. 10 is included, then the
hunters should get decision from The
state game warden on this point
before they begin shooting, or there
may be some conhScated guns and
some fines to pay.

PAPER PRICES GO UP.
Shortness OF Supply and Combination OF
Sulphite Mills are the Causes,

All kinds of paper, with the eXcep-
tiOn of writing paper, has advanced ia
price the past week from 10 to 25 cents
a hundred pounds Wrapping, fiber
and print or newspaper, advanced 10
cents a week ago and five cents more
Friday. Book paper went up a quarter
of cent a pound or 25 cents a hun
dred a week ago. Writing paper will
surely advance and all paper quota
tiOnS have been withdrawn.
The cause. according to E. A. Bouer
authorities on paper, is due TO the
combination of the sulphite manufac-
turers, which product furnishes the
basic material in all paper. The
Sulphite mills have been operated at a
loss for some time, it is said and had
to get together and raise prices from
20 to 40 cents hundred. This was
done ten days ago.
Most of the large consumers Of
paper are under favorable five-year or
other long contracts and are protected
from any immediate effect of a raise
in rates. Another reason for the
advance in paper is the heavy orders
and the shortnesS of the supply.

Endorsed EditoriaiIy.

Show going people of this city have
been enquiring about John Arthur
and the drama IAN Enemy to the
Queen" who appear in the Opera
House Saturday night. Mr.. Arthur is
said to be the equal if not the superior
of VIM. Owen, so we'll known to the
people of Grand Rapids as an artist in
high tragedy. IAN Enemy to the
Queen" is Victor Hugo'S master pro-
duction as a drama John Arthur is
supported by company composed of
fourteen ladies and gentlemen, all
artists in their line, so the entertain
ment Saturday night should be, and
we have every reason to believe that
it will be, the best that has appeared
in the city this year.

First And Second Ward Schools Closed.

Monday morning there was a meet
ing of the school board to discuss the
subject of closing the east side schools
for week, owing to the fear of an
epidemic spreading through the
school. After discussing the subject
in all it's bearings, it was thought to
be the part of wisdom to close the
first and second ward buildings for a
week and await Developments, which
was accordingly done and No children
were admitted into those buildings on
Monday. If the scholars in these
departments are found to be up to
grade at the close of the year, the
time thus lost will not be made up, so
