A Picnic,

In spite of the threatening clouds
on Wednesday, party of young people
embarked in boats for the large island
just above the South Centralla dam,
and spent the day in eating, drinking
and being merry; and when the motion
was carried by the united assembly
the whole company took the water,
and better bathing place has never
yet been found this side of the
Atlantic Beach. But as more threat
eni2g clouds appeared in the tirma-
ment which surrounded the deep, the
party re-embarLed in the frail shells
at five p. IN. and all reached home just
before that hard storm. Before
leaving the island all acknowledged
that he had had the best time of the
season.
Those present were Ruth and
Idaline Fontaine, Belle and Floy
Quinn, Betsle Brace, Caroline Garri-
son, Rosie Wipperman, Bernice John
son, Georgia Kellogg, Marjorie Kirk,

company.
May there be many more such events
before the cold weather.

Coming Cranberry Picnic.

The annual meeting and basket
picnic Of the state cranberry aSSOcia-
will be held at Gaynor Bros marsh on
August Ii. Notices of this meeting
are being sent to members all over the
state. This meeting is a twO-Sided
affair-l social and a business COM
binatiOn-in which the ladies and
families of the members take a
prominent part, and it is always
greatly enjoyed besides being of great
practical value to the growers of
cranberrieS.
B. 81. Porter of Kansas City, repre-
senting Paycke Bros, brokers of that
city, was here this week interviewing
cranberry growers and getting kind
of estimate OF the coming crop. He
finds the outlook most promising this
year for large crop and excellent
quality of berries. President ChaS.
Briere of the association says that the
outlook on his marsh never was better
and he thinks this is true of all other
marshes in this vicinity. There is
plenty of water in the reservoirs for
flooding the marshes in case of an
unusually early frost SO the chances
are favorable to successful harvest
OF all the berries grown. j. A.
GaynOr and Jacob SearlS make equally
favorable reports from their marshes
and endorse Mr.. Briere'S statement,
Mr.. Gaynor'S statement being. that
the prospects have not been SO good
in many years. 1t is also believed
that fairly good prices will prevail
this year, owing to general prosperity
in the country and scarcity in some
other lines of fruit. The picking
season will open generally on the Sth
of September, but some picking will
probably be done before that time.

Hearing in the Remington Drainage District
Petition

What is known as the drainage
district petition was filed in the
circuit court on the 18th day of May
last, and on July 10 hearing was had
on the petition before Circuit Judge
G.. NJ. Webb. It was argued on demur-
yer, GaynOr and Vaughn of this city
appearing for the petitioners and
Wipperman of this city and Bird of
Wausau appearing for the opposition.
Judge. Webb now has the case under
consideration. If the demurrer is
overruled the hearing on the merits of
the case will be heard on the 30th day
of September next.
There is a bit of interesting history
to early settlers and cranberry growers
connected with this subject of drain
ing the great cranberry marshes to the
south west of the Rapids. The area
Of this great cranberry swamp is not
generally known. 1t contains about
800 square miles and aside from the
cranberrieS grown upon it, it has been
OF practically no use to man. Years
ago it produced great quantities of
wild cranberrieS, but the fires that
have swept over the district year after
year have destroyed fully % per cent
of the vines, SO that today the marshes
are practically useless for this purpose.
This refers 10 the wild cranberrieS
! only. In this district are several
large marshes of cultivated cranberries
that are in the most thriving condi-
ton. The timber-jackieS who first
| lived in this country wondered what
the people here would live on when
the pine had disappeared. They said
nobody would ever be foolish enough
TO think of farming here, yet what a
! foolish fellow time has proven these
wise-acres to be. General farming is
| as'protitable here as it is anywhere.
| By certain wise-acreS the early expert
menterS with cultivated cranberrjeS
were looked upon as Missionaries whose
only profits would be that derived
from the fieeting pleasure of findulging
their day dreams. Today only the
grower of cultivated cranberries is
making any money out of the business
They have no fear of draining the
marshes because they have system of
reservoirs that would not be effected

GRAND RAPIDS
At The Pickle Factory.

f. II. Peterson and wife of Green
Bay arrived in the city this week and
will make their home here for the
balance of the season at all events.
Mr.. Peterson will be remem bered as
the buyer for Alart & MCGUIRE
stationed here last year. Mrs. Peter
son will not be remembered by Grand
Rapids people because she was never
here before and she and her husband
were recently united in marriage. For
the present they will board. We hope
they will like the place so well that
they will make this their home.
E. w. WhitcOmb and E. L. Erdman
OF Green Bay are at the factory
putting up 20 large vats in which will
be salted the seasons pick in this
locality. These vats were manufact-
ured by w. S. Whitcomb of Green
Bay, father of the young man who is
here putting them up, and they were
shipped in perfect readiness to put
together upon their arrival. Each
vat has a capacity of 312 barrels and
it will take about two weeks work TO
finish setting them up. Some pickles
are expected next week, the quantity
received growing as the season
progresses.

MARSHFIELD VS.. GRAND RAPIDS.
A Holly Contested Match at the Gun Club
Grounds Saturday.

The Marshtield gun club visited
Grand Rapids Saturday for a matched
shoot with the local club and a
decidedly interesting contest took
place resulting in the defeat of the
locals by score of $50 to IA in favor
of the visitors-SiX to the good. This
is generous treatment of visitors, but
it is the way Grand Rapids has always
done by them. To be frank, however,
we might say our club had no idea of
being generous in this matter. They
came out behind because they couldn't
help doing so. Some of our good shots
did remarkably poor work, and the only
excuse they have to offer is that they
didn't seem to be able to screw their
nerves up to the proper pitch that day
to win. They will do better next
time. Otto Gothke of the local team
carried off the hOnors for the best
score, scoring % out of 25 shots, beat
ing Mr.. Marsh the crack shot from
Marshfeld by one score. The follow
ing table shows the line up and the
work of each man on total of 25
shots:

They Wonder.

Some of the church members of the
twin cities are at loss to know what
book of sacred scripture recOuntS the
experience of Daniel while in the fiery
furnace. They may purchance be a
little rusty for they cannot recall any
such experience given in Daniels life,
but have slight recollection Of his
having been cast into den of lions
and escaping without injury. There
is, however, an account somewhere
between the lids of the bible where it
is said that Shadrach. .MeShach and
Abednego were cast into a furnace
heated seven times hotter than was
usual and that they escaped without
even the smell of fire upon their
garmentS.-AnonymOuSly in Tribune
Yes. In the language of the horse
editor that is horse on US. Still. in
matters biblical is an editor supposed
to be more than approximately
correct? We remember in Sunday
school days that the old song "Dare to
be Daniel, Dare to Stand alone" was
always source of admiration to us
and we always supposed that he stood
in a fiery furnace but it seems that it
was in lions den. In those early
days, they interpreted all those stories
literally, and we knew precious we'll
that we didn't ''Dare to be a Daniel'
and stand either in the lions den or
fiery furn lace, and hence didn't care
particularly where he stood. How
ever, it is pleasure to have this
important matter settled definitely
and hereafter Daniel will stand in the
lions den.

GREAT GROWTH OF A NEW INDUSTRY.
The Manufacture of Wire Grass Now in One
Big Company.

VIM. Dickman cf Oshkosh, state
manager of the American Wire Grass
Twine Co., was business visitor here
the latter part of the week. This
company is a combination of the
Northwestern of Oshkosh and the
American of st. Paul and West
Superior, or rather the American Co.
has absorbed the Northwestern. Mr..
Dickman reports the wire grass
harvest near Babcock and Cranberry
Center progressing nicely. The factory
at Oshkosh will start up about the
29th of this mouth with 500 hands
employed and will run night and day
while this years cut of wire grass lasts.
The st. Paul factory employs 1.500 to
1000 hands while the West Superior
branch will have about 500 en-
ployed. The demand for the manu-
factured products from this grass is at
present much greater than the supply.
1t is a comparatively new industry in
this section.

The Circles of Byron Robinson.

The following poem puts in rhyme
one of the medical discoveries OF DR..
Byron Robinson one of our old citizens.
American Journal of Surgery ana Gynecology.
There are circles of fame and fortune,
Circles with segments old.
With straight and spiral portions
OfwOrth fore'er untold.
All that were true and noble,
All that were brave untold,
All that were born of trouble
Sprang from that circle old.
During the age of Moses
The circle its part did play;
But the child of diagnosis
Was yet UNBORN that day.
Another still akin to fame,
That wears halo round his name,
The fame of his circles hath e'er begun,
Proud genius and friend, Byron Robinson.
Mid the pomp ofancient laughter,
And dreams of seraph gay,
In the days of Japthas daughter,
The circles its part did play.
Ancient kings with sayings famous
Bright their crowns and deep their pathOs;
But greater fame hat b efforts won,
The circle OF Byron Robinson.

Sunday Base Ball.

Last Sunday another big crowd of
Grand Rapids people went to the fair
grounds to see the games of ball
between the married and single men
and between Stevens Point and Grand
Rapids ball clubs. The weather was
territically warm, the games were
warm and hence the decisions Of the
umpire were hotly contested at every
stage of the game. Yet everybody
had good time and enjoyed every
phase of the contests, especially the
decisions of Umpire Norton in the
Married VS.. Single mems game. Mr.
Norton came out of the contest
remarkably well considering the fact
that the players and people were
there to kick regardless of conse-
quences. The fun was fast and
furious in this game throughout and
the score which was reported to us at
to in favor of the single men might
have been that on three or four times
that number. The line up was as
f01lOWC.

by the drainage system. But there is
a wise-acre abroad today who says the
soil of the marshes is sour and no
amount of draining would make it
productive. The visionary should
be patient With these wise men and
teach them by actual demonstration
that their fears OF failure and
disaster are groundleSs. New ways of
