Sugar Beef Harvest Commenced.

Several beet growers in this locality
have been notified to prepare their crops
for delivering, and shipments to the fac
tory at Menomonee Falls will commence
next week. The factory there is already
in operation and from this time on it is
expected steady shipments will be made
from this station. The first three cars
were loaded Thursday.
Fires were started in the GAINESVILLE
factory this week and those having con-
tracts with that company are looking
for orders to commence the harvest of
the crop. Frank Haitzheim, who looks
after the business Of the company in this
section, has erected loading platform
near the old mill siding where beets can
be elevated and run from the wagons di-
rectly into cars. Something like 1000
car loads are to be shipped from this
station to the two factories this season.

Waterloo Bank Trouble.

The committee of creditors which has
bad charge of the books of Ryder Bros.
bank at Waterloo for two weeks, report
ed that the affairs of the bank have been
conducted safely and that, but for the
unexpected withdrawal OF several heavy
deposits, there would have been no
trouble. The assets exceed the liabili-
ties by many thousands of dollars, and
the creditors have the fullest confidence
in the ability of the firm to pay in full.
The disappearance of Frank Ryder, one
of the members of the firm, on Sept. 10.
is unexplained. as his accounts are in
perfect condition. He has not yet been
located.

Tobacco Notes

Mr.. Andrew Mcintosh paid a visit to
his Chippewa county farm during the
week.
Fl. McInnes has been engaged the past
two weeks at Boscobel and in Vernon
county sampling the holdings of the
Bamberger firm.
Mr.. August Eisenlohr of Philadelphia
arrived Sunday evening and has since
been looking over the new crop with T.
A. Ellingson who represents the firm in
this state.
Mr.. Moritz Haas of Cincinnati, of the
firm of Haas Bros, leaf dealers, has been
inspecting samples of cured goods in the
local markets this week in company with
VIM. Mcintosh.
The brick tobacco warehouse built
and occupied late years by Chas. L. Gull
ton, has been sold to e. G. Talard for
the account of the New York firm of
Myers & Mendelshon, whom he repre-
sents in the West. The location is one
OF the best In this market and will give
this firm first class storage facilities. The
consideration is said to be about $1,000,
a much smaller sum than the property
can be duplicated for.
At the recent Democratic State con-
vention of Wisconsin Mr. Andrew Jen-
son, of Edgerton, was nominated for the
state treasurership. In his selection they
have made no mistake, il they want a
man of sterling character, whose honor
and integrity are beyond question. He
is self made man. Tc the cigar leaf
tobacco trade we believe he is as we'll
known as any of his guild, il not better.
He is among the pioneers of the Wlscon-
sin leaf trade, and one OF its largest deal
ers, being built up on strictly mercantile
principles Western Tobacco Journal.

Does 1t Mean a Sugar Beet Factory?

Does 1t Mean Sugar Beet Factory:
A good deal of speculation has been
INDUCED in and many high hopes arous-
ed by street talk during the week that
Edgerton was surrey in line for securing
sugar beet factory. This all comes
about through the somewhat mysterious
movements OF Mr.. II. J. Jerome, claim
ing to represent the Kalamazoo Reduc-
ton Works, whatever that may be. Mr..
Jerome was very guarded in his move
ments here and enjoined secrecy upon
all whom he did business with least the
public should find out some things he
was not ready to disclose. What Mr..
Jerome did do was to secure an option
upon q acre tract of land near the
water works station and adjoining the
railway, from P. M. Quigley at $1,000. He
does not state for what purpose, but the
prophets Immediately claim it is for a
site for sugar beet factory. The con-
cluson is a simple one to arrive at for
the location is an admirable one and let
us all hope it is true. Wait and see. Mr..
Jerome also looked over the Head prop
erty west of town before securing the
option on the Quigley tract, and left
town soon after and has since remained
beyond reach of an interviewer So this
is all The Reporter can tell at present.

"THoS. d. SouDoN. Secretary"
The reply was made known to all OF
the contractors. but no meeting was
held during the day. During the aft
ernoon some OF the men were notified
to show up for work this morning.
with the understanding that they
would be required to work only eight
hours, at the old scale The con-
tractors evidently have adopted the
suggestion of the union to employ only
the best workmen--the real point
upon which the contention rested.
The statement appearing in last
nights Budget that the contractors
had decided to hold out and secure
their men wherever they could caused
some CONSERVATION among those union
men who had been asked to show up
for work this morning. II would
seem the strike is really settled, al
though nothing OF an authoritative
nature has come from the con-
tractors.
