HIGH PRICES FOR EATABLES
an. GROCERIES ON RAPID ADJ
VANCE. A BIG INCREASE
IN COST OF LIVING.

People who have to buy groceries
these days will probably notice that
their grocery bill is getting heavier
all the time. They will notice later
IN that their loaf of bread is smaller
than heretofore, or else they will
have to pay a higher price for it.
This is due chiefly to the high
nrice of wheat in the west. 1t has
effected corn, oats, hay and other
grain. The rise in wheat caused an
advance in -four, then meal, then
lard, meat, etc. The folks who make
the meat say that they have to pay
more for grain and hay, so they have
TO have more for their meat and
lard.
Just how long these conditions
will prevail remains to be seen. 1t
is hardly likely, however, that there
will be much change until the new
crop of wheat is made If the crop
is a large one it will ease the situa-
ton, but unless it is large prices
will remain high for a good while.
Conditions in Savannah.
The Savannah Morning News has
the following so say in regard to
prices of provisions in that city:
Although the wheat market has
broken some five cents, falling from
1872 to ia Y there is apprehen-
sion that it is to keep soaring, and
that it will not be long until flour
will be selling at 81 or $3.50 a bar
rel, with other grain selling in pro-
portion.
millionaire Patton of Chicago
has been keeping things at tension
in the grain market since November,
but he asserts that he has no corner
and that grain is merely seeking it's
level; that it has been selling at
figure too low for some time, and
that he has merely seized the market
at the psychological time and ex-
poets to reap a just reward for his
acumen.
There are others supporting this
position. One of these is James J.
Hill the railroad magnate, who says
that grain is no higher than it nat
urally should be; that the consump-
tive demand is greater and that the
supply is not as great in comparison
and it naturally follows that grain
must go higher.
Showing the control Of the grain
market on other food products side
meat advanced half a cent during
the week. The local merchants have
not felt the increase yet, and yester-
day they all quoted meat from Is
to Is cents, and breakfast bacon at
20 cents, the same prices that have
prevailed for long while. But the
increase is bound to come in meat if
there isn't a rapid change in the
grain market.
"A local broker said that it was
a matter of cOngratulatIon that the
grain crops in Georgia were being
increased. ct is a lucky thing for
Georgia" said he, "but bad thing
for the grain dealers. If this thing
keeps up I'll have to quit business. -

volved. The proximity of stations
might be such that communication
tickets sold only at one Of two sta
tons and not at the other for travel
to common point would result in
subjecting the citizens residing at the
latter station to an undue or unreason-
able disadvantage. In such case it
would be the duty of the commission
to require the company either to
grant communication rate to both sta
tons or deny it to both. In view of
the holding of the United States SUI
preme court in the case above cited,
the order of the commission would
necessarily have to be in the alterna-
tive as it cannot require the company
in any instance to sell tickets at less
than the maximum rate fixed by the
statute.
1t would require clear and cOnvinc-
ing proof in any case to justify any
action on the part of the commission
that might result in depriving any
locality of the enjoyment Of commute
ton rates. There is certainly moth
ing il the situation presented by the
instaI.t case that shows any unjust
discrimination, within the meaning of
the statutes, on the part of the COM
pany between the inhabitants of Wa
tertown and those of OcOnomowOc.
Watertown is about twelve miles
further from Milwaukee than Ocono-
mowoc. The people residing in the
vicinity of stations between Water
town and OcOnomowoc would have
equal, if not better, ground for claim
ing discrimination against them if
the company renewed the sale of
communication tickets Mt Watertown.
Obviously there must be some reason
able basis upon which the granting
of communication rates must be deter
mined or otherwise the general
travelling public would be burdened
with a part of the cost of carrying
the favored classes or individuals. We
believe that the grounds upon which
railway companies usually establish
communication rates as hereinbefOre
indicated are proper and should not
| be departed from in this case. The
| petition will be dismissed.
Now, Therefore, 1t Is Ordered: That
the petition in the above entitled mat
| ter be and the same is hereby dis
missed.

Rate Commission Gives Decision

The railroad rate commission has
handed Gown q decision on the COM
plant of A. B. Liebermann of Water
town, who contended that the old
communication passenger rate to Mil
waukee which was in force several
years, should be re-eStablished as the
Milwaukee road was still maintaining
a communication rate from Oconomo-
woe to Milwaukee. The decision de-
cided adversely to Mr.. Liebermann's
complaints and after citing the ar
guments and quoting decisions, the
commission says:
While the establishment Of commu
tation rates is matter of managerial
policy of the company, and the COM
pany may accord such privilege to
such localities as it may deem best,
and in granting it to one locality and
denying it to another the company
may be acting within its lawful right
SO long as no discrimination is prac-
ticed between individuals, yet it does
not follow that in all cases discrimi-
nations between communities in the
matter of Communication rates can be
justified under the statute here III

Former Citizen Lucky

A Williston, N. d. dispatch says
that coal discovery has been made
there that will possibly revolutionize
the fuel business in North Dakota,
and possibly in surrounding states
At the John Bruegger mine at Avoca,
coal has been found, which is so
vastly different from the ordinary lig-
mite, that minerologists are puzzled,
and Mr.. Bruegger, who is in the gen
eral mercantile business at Williston,
is former Watertown man and
president of the Watertown Thirty
Year club, is overlooked with orders.
The coal seems to be of semi-bitu-
minous nature, and the supply is evil
IDENTIFY ineXhaustible.
Last winter many carloads of an
thracite were shipped into Williston
to burn, while this winter only one
carload has been utilized, because of
this remarkable discovery. Plans are
being considered for the Instruction
of gas works there and for the install
lation of factories. The opening up
of navigation on the Missouri will
mean the employment of thousands of
miners in the Williston coal fields.

minutes duration with five minutes
rest. The referre was B. w. Smith

large crowd was present and great en-
thusiasm manifested, the WatertOwn

Previous to the match there was a
one round boxing bout between young
Conant and Weichert. Harry Zoelle
and Henry Clausen went on the mat
for a wrestling match, best two out
of three, which was won by Zoelle in
1851 and 1903 minutes.
The crowd at the match last night
showed that interest in the sport is
being revived. Within a few days

Winklemann, "a years old, a dress

aminer Of North Dakota.
The body will be brought to Water

A dispatch received by Miss Annie
Mooney today from his son stated
that he left today for New York and

Plans for SChurZ Park

Within the next six months the
oriaI park the estate and homestead
Iof Carl Schurz at WATERFOWL, Wis,
will be begun, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel. Probabilities are that the
park will be completed six months
later. The project of buying this
piece of land, recently acquired by
the Milwaukee Light, Heat and Trac-
ton company, and transforming it in
to public breathing spot has been
discussed by the Milwaukee branch
lof the Watertown Homecoming club
since the early part of December of
collect subscriptions took definite
shape.
Shortly before Christmas Richard
Heyn, attorney, of the Wisconsin so
ciety Of New York, formerly of Mil
waukee but now practicing in New
York, called on Attorney Ernest A.
Kehr, 105 Grand avenue. Attorney
Kehr is president of the Milwaukee
branch of the club. With the return
of the New York lawyer to his city,
the movemtnt that in a few days
promises to be country wide, was set
on foot.
So far has the project already pro
crossed that negotiations for the pur-
chase of the land from the Milwaukee
Light, Heat and Traction company
have been made. The company ex-
pressed a willingness to sell the prop
erty for $500, The price paid for it,
with the privilege of retaining a
small strip for the laying of rails for
! it's northern extension from Water
town. An option of one year to close
| the deal was given the club.
| While the money is available now
according to Mr.. Kehr, $4,000 more
| is needed for the maintenance of the
park. This amount will be collected
| by members of the club.
Plans for the new park are now be
