PAPER PRICES
TAKE A JUMP

Wrapping papers have taken another
jump in price and beginning yester-
day dealers throughout the mid
die west and east are getting fifteen
cents more per hundred weight than
formerly. The increase was decided
upon last week and announcement
was made Saturday morning. This
advance of 10 cents follows closely on
the heels of the other increase of %
cents per hundred, which occurred
about five or six weeks ago.
Print paper also has taken another
jump in price and is selling now at a
price considerably higher than a few
weeks ago. The advance is general
throughout this section of the
country.
The price of pulpwood has jumped
from 10 cents to 81 a cord and this
with other features of the paper in
dustry is the cause of the general in
crease Of paper of various kinds
throughout the country.

NO FOUNDATION
FOR THE RUMOR

A rumor has been current on the
streets ever since the Arpin brothers
built the stone wall in front of their
property on First street adjoining the
old First National Bank building.
that it was their intention to build a
new building on this site in the
spring. 1t appears from a CONVEX
sation with E. P. Arpin that there is
no foundation for this rumOr, as there
was no intention to build on this
place in the spring. The wall was
built so that the cement sidewalks
could be laid, and in case they desire
to build at some future time, as
they no doubt will when there is a
demand for increased business places,
the front walls would be ready,
The rumor that an opera house
would be erected at this place is en-
tirely unfounded, as the matter has
never even been considered,
