| While digging in the ditch Tuesday
for the drainage of the new Catholic
church, Gunder Amundson was caught
| in cave-in and his collar bone was frac-
tured in two places. Medical attendance
was secured at once and the injured
man is now on tho road to recovery.
| The extension of the water main
from Swift street across Saunders creek
and on Blaine street is being made this
week. The high water in the creek
made the work somewhat arduous, but
that portion of it is finished and Supt.
Morrissey says that by Saturday night
water will be turned into the new extern
sion.
| One of those social events which
| more closely allies friends and neigh
bors occurred at the home of Andrew
|! Mcintosh and wife last Thursday even
ing. 1t was their eighteenth wedding
anniversary, and a number of friends
| planned to surprise them that evening.
The surprise was complete, for when
both Andrew and his wife returned home
from town little after o'clock they
found the company in full possession of
| the house. The intent of their visit was
made known and all joined in passing an
evening of pleasure with cards, games
and music. The visitors had provided
an oyster supper which was served later
in the evening. When the hour for
home going arrived the company all
joined in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Mcintosh
many happy returns of their wedding
day.
The beet sugar factory at Menomo-
nee Falls was flooded with beets early in
the week, and word was sent out to re-
ceiving points to accept no more beets
until further orders. Thirteen loads
that came to this market for shipment
were compelled to haul home again. Up
to Tuesday nineteen carloads have been
shipped from here and the receiving
will resume next Monday. The yield in
most instances is better than was antici-
pated and every grower this year has an
nounced his intention of putting in a
larger acreage next season. The banner
crop raised in this vicinity was delivered
by James Arthur, his beets weighing up
"a tons to the acre. They run all the
way from Is to "a tons per acre.
With the approach of November
come mornings and evenings that are de-
cidedly chilly and orders for wood and
coal are being booked at the yards in
rapid succession. The wood supply is
very curtailed at this season of the year,
while prices are in advance of years gone
by. The demand for wood may be ex-
planned from the fact that great many
have not yet secured their COAL and
those who have prefer burning wood for
the little fire that is needed at present.
The high price and scarcity of coal last
season was the main cause of nearly all
the wood in this vicinity being market
ed and in consequence the supply this
season comes mainly from the north and
west portions of the state Even in the
timbered districts the supply of cut
wood is limited and the price is accord
inglys advancing.
| With Thanksgiving only about four
weeks away and the alarming shortage
predicted in the turkey crop. makes us
all feel as though we were up against
the real proposition this time. Those
who entertained last year@wiH remember
that the Thanksgiving bird cost about
eighteen cents per pound and it is pre-
dicted that those who include him in
their menu this year will have to pay not
less than twenty cents, and be doubly
thankful that he is to be had at that
price. The past season has been so wet
that it was disastrous to the raising of
turkeys and the number to be marketed
will fall way below the average. There
is no substitute for Thanksgiving din
ners, as the proud bird has been the &C.
copied dish through all the ages, so if
you cannot eat turkey this year Just be
thankful that your neighbor can.
