"GLIMPSE OF
GRAND RAPIDS
A. Decker's Interesting Booklet
Being Circulated.

We have before US ''GlimpSe of
Grand Rapids, Wis. 1907, pamph-
let of sixty-four pages, illustrated and
published by A. Decker of this city,
descriptive of Grand Rapids, Wood
County, and the Wisconsin River. 1t
is very neat volumn giving well
written description of Grand Rapids
and its manufacturing industries, in
a concise, comprehensive manner.
We understand that Mr.. Decker is
going to circulate two thousand copies,
of this issue, which will prove of
great value to this city. The cuts
were made from photographs taken,
by our popular photographer, O. P.
MenZel, whose taste and talent in this
direction is equal to the best. The
printing was done by the Evening
Wisconsin Company of Milwaukee,
and all those who had part in its
publication are entitled to great
credit for the excellent manner in
which this volumn has been issued.
We hope great good will be accom-
plished by its circulation throughout
the country.

STEAL FLOWERS
FROM DEAD
Graves in Cemeteries Have
Been Stripped of Flowers.

Some time since the REPORTER
published little editorial on the
stealing of flowers from the cemeteries.
At the time it was not known that
Grand Rapids harbored any one mean
enough to steal flowers from the dead,
but recently our attention has been
called to the fact, that even i'm our
own cemeteries those particular
thieves have also been busy Only
last week our attention was called to
this low trick. One of the lot owners
in one of our cemeteries, told of the
decorations he had put on the grave
of his daughter, and which had en-
tirely disappeared in less then twenty
fou1 hours.
People must necessarily be put upon
their honor in such matters as these,
for there is very little chance of de-
lection, but certainly any one who
would rob from the dead, would do
the same thing from the living, and
whether or not they are ever found
out, the crime remains stain upon
their own conscience.
We are informed that those who
have been troubled by the disappear
ance of flowers from the graves or
their loved ones in the cemeteries,
are exerting every effort to locate
the guilty parties, and if their identy
can be established, there is going to
be trouble.
Here is hoping that they are found
out?

GUM WRAPPING
INTERESTING
Geo. W. Lyons Doing Nice Busi-
ness at His Factory.

Friday morning, the representative
of the REPORTER made a short visit
to the gum factory of Geo. W. Lyons,
located to the rear of his residence
property on Fourth Avenue south.
This factory is new venture in
this city and is admirably located to
succeed. Mr.. Lyons, while connected
with the Gross & Lyons store became
interested in the manufacture of gum
and Immediately after selling out his
interest in the grocery business, went
to Michigan and purchased the gum
manufacturing business, which he
moved to this CITY, The product was
well established in the Michigan 0ty,
and the gum is known and on the
market in several states.
The new enterprise at the present
time is working six girls in the wrap
ping department, and while the out
put is not large it will have to be in
creased in the immediate future.
The new factory building is frame
structure, one story in heighth, with
stone foundation The front is of
plate glass, and the first front room is
the one that is occupied as the Office.
To the rear is the manufacturing
room in which are arranged. the mix
ing and rolling boards the cutters,
and rolling machines, as well as the
drying racks. used in the manufac-
ture of the product.
The front end of the large room is
provided with tables at which the
process of wrapping and packing the
finished article is done. 1t is an in
teresting, as well as instructive sight,
to watch the young ladies at their
work, and we are told that in time
they become experts in their line
and wrap gum with great rapidity.
Mr.. Lyons manufactures several
varieties of gum, but his leader is the
Wild Cherry which is spoken of very
highly by those who know the value
of the article. To advertise this bust
ness he has several varieties of gum
and number of these are
now in place on the streets of this
city.

NEW POTATO WAREHOUSE
Local Union of A. S. OF E. Will
Build Larger Building.

Port Edwards, Saratoga and Ar
menia local unions Of the American
Society of Equity held a joint meet
ing at their potato warehouse in Ne
koosa last Saturday at which time
the matter of building a new potato
warehouse was discussed and a large
majority of the farmers seemed to
favor putting up building about
twice the size of the one they have
been renting from the L. Starks Co.
during the past year.
\ committee of three. consisting of
John Johnson, Of Port Edwards,
Ellery Lee, of Saratoga, and Z. G..
OStrum, of Armenia. was appointed
to investigate the matter and report
at the next meeting which will be
held on Saturday June %, at which
time the local managers of the ware
house will also make a report on the
years business.
During the past year the unions
shipped $4,000 bushels of potatoes
from here and at times found the
warehouse much to small for their
needs, so that in case it is decided to
build, the new one will be consider
able larger, perhaps twice as large as
| the old one.-Wood County Times.

HAY STILL COMING UP

Hay is a scarce article just at pres
ent Not that the supply has been
entirely exhausted, but it appears
that the farmers are alarmed, and
will not let loose of the cattle food,
for love or money. Wednesday, it is
stated, hay on the local market
brought $l8 per ton, and they say
that is cheap, compared to what it
will be in a short period of time.
From other Wisconsin Valley cities,
and in the northern section of the
state particularly, it is reported that
hay has brought as high as $28 per
ton this spring. And the end is not
in sight.
Farmers fear that the summer will
be poor one for growing hay, and
therefor they are holding on to the
supply they now have to guard
against any shortage that may occur
this fall. In case the crop is good, as
many predict in spite of the backward
spring, the price will be very low
this fall: but in case of shortage the
highest price hay on record may be
looked for.

CHANGE IN FREIGHT RATES
New Clas sificafion Shows An
Advance of 6 Per Cent.

The new official freight claSsifica-
tion No. 30 for the control of rail-
roads i'm the Central Freight associa-
tion will be filed with the interstate
commerce commission this week and
will become effective Aug. l. 1t is
not as drastic as the revision of seven
wears ago, which by an advance of
10 per cent on more than 1000 arti-
cles caused furore from one end of
the country to the other, but the
tendency is upward, as might have
been expected.
In the new classification there are
$3.50 changes, of which 2,O66 are ad-
yances ranging from 1000 to 5000
pounds in the minimum weights for
carload shipments, 1856 additions, nine
erasures, thirty-nine reductions, and
sixty advances in rates caused by
changes in the classification and the
cancellation of commodity tariffs
The cancellation of commodity tar
ifs and making the articles subject
to classification affected sixty COM
modities, and the general advance in
rates caused by the changes in the
minimum weights and classification
is less than + per cent. The rates
and minimums for dressed beef and
live stock will remain intact.
Lumber, brick, cement, lead, paper,
wall and stucco piaster are among the
principal commodities affected.

TO DEVELOP HARDY FRUIT

y large collection of fruit trees
from Siberia have been received by
the college of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. The collection,
which consists largely of plumb and
apple trees, is said to be the most
complete of its kind in the West.
Many Of the specimines have econo-
mic value, and others are purely or
namentaI. They will be used largely
in plant breeding experiments carried
on by the department of horticulture
1t is believed that by grating and
crossing with American varieties
hardy types will be developed that
can be grown to advantage in the
northern parts of the state. AS ma
tive to Siberia, these are very hardy
though of less delicate flavor. By eX-
perimental work it is probable that
the better qualities of the American
grown fruit can be grated upon the
hardy Siberian stock, with a result
ing variety combining the desired
qualities of both.

Out Door Art League, at the Metho-
dist church Thursday evening. She
spoke on civic Improvements, or how
TO make your city more beautiful, and

beauty. She urged cleanliness
along the banks of the Wisconsin
river, and said that 1t should be kept

walks, and the decoration of buildings
with uniformity of paint and urged
the interest, not only of the parents,
but of the children, in keeping the
streets clear from debris, waste paper
etc, so that the streets might always
be thing of pride.
She complimented the people on the
excellent opportunity presented by
our location, for the establishment Of

tagged presented were invaluable, and
the Wisconsin river in itself was a
thing of beauty, of which the people
might we'll feel proud
At the close of her address the men,
bers of the audience were free to ask
questions. They took good advantage
of this liberty, and her advice and
answers We're freely given. Those

Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to
employ physician for every slight
ailment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to
neglect them, as so slight an injury
as the scratch Of a pin has been known
to cause the loss of limb. Hence
every man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.
Success often depends upon prompt
treatment, which can only be had
when suitable medicines are kept at
hand. Chamberlain'S Remedies have
been in the market for many years
and enjoy good reputation.

LAYING OUT
DEPOT GROUNDS
c. NJ. G. St. Paul Ry. Will Erect
New Depot Next Year.

From an interview we had with G.
0. Anderson, agent of the G. M. & st.
Paul Ry. in this city, we understand
the work has already commenced in
laying out the grounds around the
depot and that orders have been given
for the removal of various buildings
that are located on the company's
grounds.
Mrs. A. c. McCrea, the landscape
gardener for the company is in charge
of this work and has an excellent de-
sign laid out for beautiful depot
grounds for this company. The office
of the F. MacKinnon Mfg. Co. will
be moved from its present site to a
position along side of the Menier
building, facing Grand avenue. The
old Smith residence lying just north
Of the tracks is at the present time
being moved off the company's
grounds.
This preliminary work in establish
ing and laying out beautiful depot
grounds, is laying the foundation for
a handsome new depot that will be
erected next spring.
We hope that the company, when
! they do build will give US a depot in
style, architecture, and dimensions,
equal too, if not superior, to the one
recently erected at Wausau, for we
believe that this city has d bright
future, and will grow to large proper
tions, and for that reason we believe
the company should give us a depot
that will be suitable for a city
Of 10000 people. The company being
the oldest railroad in Grand Rapids,
should be second to none in equip
ment and in the construction of
dept and grounds.

CROPS ARE BACKWARD
Farmers Not Altogether Enthusi=
astic Over the Outlook.

The crop reports brought in by the
farmers who come and go daily, are
not the most encouraging. From all
sections Of the county, so it developed
on interviewing the stillers of the
SOIL" the crops are backward. and
the season does not promise to be the
best. In fact, for twenty-five or
thirty years, there has not been a
more tardy season. The extreme
cold has retarded the growth OF crops
already planted, and the rains have
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1907-06-13

been both q blessing and a curse. The
rain has aided, rather than injured,
the small grains. but in some cases
the corn has rotted in the ground.
While many feel keenly the disap-
pOintment of the season, there are
those who optomistically claim that
the weather now will more than
atone for the damage done, and that
the harvest time will be as good as
previous years. Warm weather from
now on, they claim, will do wonders
toward repairing what inconvenience
the cold has caused upTto this time.

TRUST PUTS UP
PRICE OF THREAD

Cotton sewing thread, the kind you
have always bought, will cost a cent
a spool more hereafter.
The trust has SO decreed, and notices
have been sent to all dealers. Thread
has been selling for five cents the
spool of 200 yards ever since Grant
beat Greely for the presidency. The
price has been fixed so long that now
to change it, will be like changing an
old tune. This advance in price will
be enriching the trust something like
