SOLDIERS MONUMENT

In the coming election vote will
be taken on the proposition to appro-
pirate $4,000 for Soldiers monument
for Wood county. Said 4aonument to
be located on the court house square
in this city. Very many of the
counties of Wisconsin, as we'll as of
the adjoining states. have already
erected soldiers monument and it
is no mere than right and just that
the defenders of our country during
the rebellion should be honored and
remembered. The $4,000 to be
appropriated by the county for this
purpose is very small matter when
divided up among the tax payers. A
man paying taxes on ST, 900 valuation
will pay but % cents toward the SOL
diers monument. This Ger rtainly is a
step in the right direction, it is in keep
ing with our gratitude and respect for
the G.. A. r. and the noble service
they rendered their country. We can
hardly afford to be behind other and
adjoining counties in this matter.
We hope that the voters in the
entire county Will make it their
business to cast a vote for this appro-
priation

OUTLOOK In COUNTY
Eafle=Star Representative Finds
Over Seventy-five Per Cent OF
Voters fer Straight Republican
Ticket.

For a number of weeks it was al
most impossible to get an expression
on the political situation from the
farmers in and about the Sugar Bush
country during the pending of the
factional case before the State Su-
preme court; but since the decision
was given out the farmers have set
tied in their minds how they are GO
ing to vote. have taken some pains
the past week to get an expression
from representative farmers, of all
nationalities, not only on the Nation
al ticket, but on how they stand on
the Governor. the county and assem-
bly, ticket, and | find that very large
percentage of the voters are going TO
vote the Republican ticket straight.
| met man who said he was a
delegate to the Republican convention
and that was one Of the Stalwarts,
but he Said he intended to vote the
whole republican ticket from top to
bottom. / talked with a number Of
German farmers and they did not
hesitate TO say that they were satisfied
with President Roosevelt and his
administration and also Gov. La
Toilette and the whole county ticket.
| find The Germania is taken by
many Of the German farmers and the
stand it has taken has settled the
question in the miUdS of many that
had perhaps wayered for some time.
Many of the small farmers who
have raised sugar beets this fall are
very bitter against the railroad COM
panies because they have to pay about
one-third more for the use of cars
than the larger shippers and then
they can not get the cars when they
want them. This they tell me is one
of the principles and points that the
Governor is contending against and
that with equal taxation and the pri-
mary election law seems to satisfy
their sense of right and consequently
they are going to vote the republican
| ticket straight to man. My observa-
tion leads me to believe that 80 per
cent Of the German farmers are going
to vote the republican ticket and that
Is per cent of all other nationalitieS
will do the same thing. speak of this
county only. The rural free delivery
carriers about Peshtigo, Pound,
Coleman and Beaver have been great
educators since those routes were es-
tablished. and the farmers oi these

prices of wheat, oats, corn, hogs, and
cattle, but also on the Eastern war

The Democrats will have to stir up

been better since war times and for

Crop of Sweet Potatoes.

The crop of sweet potatoes on the
Virginia eastern shore this season was
one of the largest ever known. The
yield has been most satisfactory, and
the farmers would have had good
year but for the price Of their potatoes
being so low. The market price for
prime stock at railroad stations and
steamboat wharves is only 50 cents for
a barrel The low price is attributed
to large crops In other sections and
to the mammoth yield of all kinds of
fruit throughout the land. It is
thought now that potatoes would not
be worth digging but for the good

Wisconsin. This IS one of the largest
cranberry deals ever made in this
state and A. y. Cheney & Co. are
among the largest cranberry dealers
in the world. 1t is very seldom that
product as largs as the cranberry
crop Of Wisconsin falls into the hands
or control of one man or one company.
1t is quite likely that more than one
family, not only in Wisconsin but in
adjoining states. will eat their
Thanksgiving dinner this year with
out the cranberry.

It speaks well for Grand Rapids al,

Wood county, when people from out
side advertise in our local papers that
they want to purchase Two farms
close to Grand Rapids. 1t shows a
a reverse in the order of things as the
county becomes settled up and the
excellent quality of the soil appre-
ciated, for many years we have been
accustomed to see much land adyer-
tised for sale. But now people are
coming in from the older settled
counties and apparently anxious to
buy farms in our county and close to
our city.

SCHOOL FUND GETS s6,25O.
That Sum Paid Over TO County
Treasurer From Profits OF Dis
pensary for Second Quarter.

County Treasurer B. =. Williamson
yesterday received a check for $3.50,
the share of the school fund in the
dispensary profits for the second
quarters operations. In addition to
this sum, he has on hand $4,000 which
was paid in at the end of the first
quarters operations. In addition TO
other moneys on hand these sums
make up over $12, 900, which is now in
the hands of the treasurer to school
fund account
From the foregoing it will be seen
that the Dispensary during the first
six months Of its existence has been
making money at the rate of over
$4,000 net per annum, as it must be
remembered that out of the first
quarters earnings. were paid the eX-
penses of putting the concern into
operation.
The sum received by the county
aggregating $f0,250-is Just one half
the met profits accruing to this date,
less State tax and the expenses attend
ant upon starting the Dispensary.
With the increased business of the
fall and winter months the rate OF
profit will doubtless be largely in
creased. 1t would be safe to esti-
mate the income of county and city
from the dispensary for the first
years operation at a sum in excess
Of $4,000.

One of the pathetic incidents that
always follow on the heels of calam-
ity occurred yesterday when Mr.. j. L.
Cole received a pleasant and friendly
letter from the brother of his wife,
which was written the day after the
fire by which Mr.. Cole lost his three
children, and which showed the en-
tire ignorance of the writer in the
trouble that had overtaken the fam
lily.
The writer of the letter was Mr.
Jethro Almond, whose paper heads
show him to be a travelling moving
picture man. He wrote from Green
Vile on July 9Th, the day after the
fire and told of the celebration OF
the fourth in South Carolina.
IT suppose you all had pleasant
time" he stated in one part of his
letter.
Yesterday Mr.. Cole sent to him a!

dren burned to DEATH which was
probably the first news received by
