While the sales of American cheese
on the various Wisconsin boards dur
.ng 1906 were approximately 1,5OO,OOO
pounds less than in 1905, according to
W. C. Thomas, the cheese statistic1an
of Sheboygan Falls, the higher prices
that prevailed throughout the season
brought the total receipts for sales IN
1906 up to even larger sum than the
year before. The carefully estimated
average price for all styles IN 1904
was 91-8 cents; in 1905, II cents, and
in 1906 it was fully II cents.
Owing to an error in footing, the re-

TO CUT RATES ON POTATOES.
Railroad Commission Notified of Big
Cut From Northern Wisconsin.

Railroad Commission Notified of a Big
Cut From Northern Wisconsin.
The leading railroad companies of
Wisconsin have notified the state rail
road commission that they had decided
to reduce freight rates on potatoes in
car load lots from northern and west
em points III the state to Milwaukee
from 20 to 40 per cent. For some time
the commission has been making an
Investigation of rates on this product,
and after holding a conference with
representative of the railroads the re-
duction in rates was announced.
The reduction will make it possible
to place potatoes in Milwaukee at about
8 cents less a bushel that at present.
The following gives an idea Of the
reductions: Amigo, from Is to 10 IL
cents per 100 pounds; Merrill, IA IL
to 10 1-2; La Crosse, IA to 10 IL; Viro-
qua, Is to II; La Fargo, Is to -; Eau
Claire, Is IL to y IL; Prentice, Is IL
to IL H. Abbotsford IA IL to 10 IL;
Tomshawk, Is to II IL; Marshfield,
IA 1-2 to 12
The committee also held a confer
ance with the railroad representatives
egarding rates on live stock from
points in the interior Of the state to
Milwaukee and deductions will be
made on this class Of freight later
In the meantime the companies will
assist the commission in securing data
and statistics upon which to base the
reduction in rates.
The Milwaukee road Informed the
commission that it had reached an
aereement with H. P. Bradley of Wau-
watosa regarding his petition for re-
ductiOn in rates charged for hauling a
car from Milwaukee to WauWatosa.
The company agrees to include Wau-
watosa in it's Milwaukee switching
limits pending a revision of the
switching schedule for the entire ter
minal district in and around MilWau-
kee to Wauwatosa for SIS. Heretofore
it has cost about $40.
The railroad representatives also
submitted a compromise proposition TO
the Vaughan Manufacturing company
Of Jefferson regarding drayage charges
for freight from Jefferson Junction to
Jefferson, and one to the Brickmakers,
Association of Wisconsin on rates on
brick and tile. Both propositions are
expected to be satisfactory to the COM
claimants. The one on brick and tile
will enable the Wisconsin manufactur-
ers to compete with manufacturers OF
Chicago and the Northern Illinois
points. The brickmakers' association
wa,s. represented by President Oscar

Thousands Stricken Down.

The earthquake came as a sudden
oscillation, not from any particular di-
rection, but up and down.
Thousands of persons were on the
streets of Kingston at the time, and
great numbers of them were crushed.
Many Americans in Kingston were
killed and have been buried.
Part of the town of Port Royal has
been sunk and two men were drowned
The batteries sunk eight feet, killing
sapper. In several places the water
is spouting through the debris.

stricken city is proceeding with ener-
gy. Kingston is receiving supplies as
far as possible from the island of ia
maica itself. The American Warships
in the harbor have put on shore all
the fOodstuffs and medical supplies
they could spare, and the Jamaican
authorities have taken charge of the
city.
Relief on Big Scale.
In addition, relief is being hurried
from outside quarters. The senate
yesterday passed a bill authorizing re-
lief for the stricken island; the people
of the British island of Trinidad have
sent a first installment of relief; H.
M. S. interchangeable has left Port OF
Spain, Trinidad, with provisions,
clothing and other supple for the
stricken people; the French govern
ment has started a cruiser from the
island of Martinique with supplies for
KINGSTON; the Mansion House fund in
London is growing rapidly and the
British authorities are perfecting the
details of relief on large scale, and
either on their way or about to start
for Kingston with food. clothing and
medicines aboard.
Rumor of Tidal Wave.
The report that a tidal wave had
devastated the southern shore of ia
maica had not been confirmed up to
very late hour. Cable communica-
ton with the island has been partially
retored, but, even so, messages from
jamaica are coming through very
slowly.
The total estimate of deaths remain
at about 1900.
Great relief was afforded last night
to all those who have American
friends in Jamaica by statement re-
ceived from the office of the cable
company at Kingston that up to Z
o'clock Thursday evening no Ameri-
cans had been reported killed or Sc
verely wounded by the earthquake
List of Victims Growing.
The list of known victims is grow
ing and the names of no less than for
ty persons of more or less prominence
in the Jamaican capital already have
been given out as dead. About twenty
we'll known people are either injured
or missing.
The reports received yesterday
make no mention of further earth
quakes and the fires all have been put
out.
