ce.operatlve Apple Packing.

The English merchant does not like
to handle small lots and experimental
packages, says Mr.. w. A. McKinnon,
chief of the fruit division, Ottawa.
He wants thousands Of barrels, all
uniform in quality, variety, packing
and package. This uniformity, how
ever, cannot be secured where pack
ing is done in small quantities In or
chards. The time has arrived in the
history of the apple trade In Canada
when large packing houses must be
the order of the day. Whether these
large packing houses are controlled by
cooperative associations or by cap
italists who have a knowledge OF the
apple business is a matter OF com
parative indifference. Il does, how
ever, seem quite possible for intelli-
gent growers to unite In cooperative
associations and secure ali the ad.
vantages that accrue TO the capitalist,
az well as those that come by packing
In large quantities. These store
houses are not necessarily expensive
buildings. They should be frost-proof
and large enough to accommodate the
full crop Of the patrons. It is not at
all difacult to get plans that have
worked well IN other parts OF the eoun-
try. The aim should be to secure as
large q quantity Of good stock as pos
sible, to grade It uniformly, mark It
honestly according to the requirements
Of the fruit marks act. and sell through
any medium that may ofer the great
est advantages. There is not the slight
est doubt that II such an association
were formed In any Of the fruit dis
triets and such packing house estab-
lIshed, 1t would attract buyers from
every market, and the apples could be
sold for spot cash. Il is sincerely to
be hoped that the good business men
among the apple growers win take this
into their serious consideration. Il ID
not merely q question whether their
own apples win be sold at the proper
arnre OF not. They should be. even

HUNTING LICENSES.

The hunting season opens Sept. 1st
and the county clerk has begun issuing
licenses, the first application coming
from Or. John Zepp. of Edgar. For
merly county clerks have accepted but
81 as the fee for license, though they
are by law allowed 25c extra for filling
out the application blank During the
open season, and especially just before
and during the deer season, they have
large numbers of these to fill out.
which takes up their time from other
duties. Some find it necessary to hire
an assistant, which is Improbable
when it is considered that they get but
l0c out of the dollar. This year they
have come TO an agreement to charge
all allowed them by law, and prefer to
have the applicant go before notary
public for his application. The notary
gets the 25c and. it saves the clerk
trouble and gives him more time to at
tend to his routine office work.
The licenses this year are not so
cumbersome as last year They are
printed on white foldable paper, four
inches wide and fourteen inches long.
1t consists in all of seven coupons, one
for the county clerks record, one for
The game warden, two shipping tags,
two tags for the railroad company and

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT,

Those who are engaged in securing
options on land which will be over
flowed, when the proposed dams are
built on the Wisconsin river, keep at
work constantly SO that when the time
comes for active operations there will
be no delay. Last week, Benjamin
Single was approached as to his land
on Big Rib river. 1t is thought that the
Rothschilds dam will back water over
the low lands, mp Big Rib river for
several miles When MIR. Single was
asked if he would place price on those
of his lands most liable to be over
flowed, he replied that he would never
trouble them if any of his property was
overflowed all he asked was that the
land so overflowed be cleared of trees
and stumps clear to the roots, so that
when the land has covered with water
it would present nice appearance.
This is a splendid suggestion and if
carefully carried out it will aai much
to the beauty of the proposed lake of
Mausau.
The trees, stumps aud old stubs were
all left in the mill pond at Scholfield,
and they have stood there the past
thirty years and are very unsightly and
make it almost impossible to get about
with boat. No doubt but what those
interested expect to clear up every
thing when the dam scheme materi-
alizes, but it might be just as well for
all land owners to be as careful as Mr.
Single has been.

PICNIC AND PRIZE SHOOTING.

The Wausau Sharpshooters' society
has planned for a big time next Sun

competition shooting for prizes, in
which the whole day win be taken up.
The members and their families and
friends will go over in the morning,
taking their lunch baskets with them
and will eat their dinner in the shade
of the pine trees of the park. Plenty of
games have been provided for the chill
dren and every arrangement made for
a good time for all
The shooting will begin at $50 in the

Binztr, H. j Abraham, Hilmer Schmidt,
Sigismund 'Karas aud John bern.
Third team-Otto Mathie, VIM.
Hoppe, John Ringle, Gustav Mueller
Geo. Merklein and Chas Klein.
During the morning and early after

Union "a prizes are offered ranging
from 81 90 up to $500. Ten prizes are

GOOD FISHING.

The Wisconsin river and its trib-
utaries, in this vicinity, and lower
down are again well stocked with
fish There was a time in the early
days when a good mess of fish could be
caught most any time, but when saw
dust and other debris from the mills
were dumped in, the fish left to other
and clearer waters. The law now pro
hibits the throwing of refuse into rivers
and the good effects of that law is al
ready apparent
We read the other day of a large
muscaGonge having been caught AT
Grand Rapids. Down there the river
is stocked every year with bass, pike
and other fish and there is excellent
fishing down there all the time. The
past week we have heard of number
of very fine catches, in the Eau Claire,
Big Rib and the Wisconse. Chas.
Helke, went To the first named stream
pike, he caught one pickerel weighing
fifteen pounds. The other day he went
cut again and caught string of smaller
fish and got one very large one that
broke his line. He does not propose to
let the next big one that takes his bait
get away so will take gun with him
loaded with all kinds of deadly missiles.
Out on Big Rib, the sportsmen con

ally. By keeping the Wisconsin river
clear of sawdust and debris, those whC
live on its banks, may soon be able tc
catch fish, galore.

OUR PROSPERITY.

In an interview with different ones at
tending the Wisconsin Bankers asso-
citation convention, held in Milwaukee
last week, the Milwaukee Sentinel has
the following to say of Andrew Kreutz-
er:
estate Senator Andrew L. Kreutzer
of Wausau, who is president of the
Bank of Athens, took part in the de-
liberations of the bankers The ques-
ton of asset currency is interesting our
people, he said, and while they racog
aiZe there is demand for some modi-
fication of the present system, they are
not prepared to take definite position
upon the question as represented by
Mr.. Fowler.
Speaking of the banks generally in
our part of the state, the demand for
money is pronounced, and the rate of
interestls little higher, if anything
There never was time in the history
of the Wisconsin valley when the banks
were as prosperous as they are today
The three banks at Wausau represent
about SO, 000, 900 in deposits, and other
towns along the line show an equal
amount, according to population. Some
little money has been drawn out of our
banks by people who have gone west
to locate permanently, but that has
been offset by settlers who are coming
in from the southern part of the state.
These settlers are men of moderate
means who are purchasing lands to be
turned into farms by their sons, and
they are considered by the people up
there te constitute the most desirable
class of immigrants.
1.-THE Wisconsin valley bids fair to
become the most prosperous and pro-
ductive part of Wisconsin. A million
dollar paper mill is being built at
Grand Rapids and another $780, 900
plant is in course of construction at
Rhinelander. There are many unde-
veloped water powers between Grand
Rapids and Rhinelander, among them
the Jackson Milling company water
power at Stevens Point. But ne one
most prominent at this time is the
Rothschild power, FIVE miles south of
Wausau The building of this dam
being assured it will develop a 1000
horse power, and it will cost 81 800, 600
before the plant is completed. This
improvement also will give to Wausau
a lake seven miles long and three miles
wide, and will in less than ten years,
MAKE Wausau a city of $4,000 inhabi-
tants. Wausau, by the way, is injoy
ing a season of building prosperity
greater than ever before, another sign
of the prosperity OF the times not indi-
Gated by bank deposits alone. Many
fine houses are being built and other
improvements are in prospect
