lOr TduCy. DdldnCe OF shipments
we handled in the western mark
cts and obtained enough more
than above prices to average Al
cents on Extra and "a cents on
Fancy. showing that the western
markets were the best for us the
past season and this is usually
the case. judging from our ex-
perience.
The only objection TO using
the western markets altogether is
the fact that they will only use a
limited amount OF our peaches,
consequently we are compelled 10
place some of them to the far
eastern markets.
New York market as you will
notice giving US the highest prices
on eastern shipments.
In all the yast season we hand
led 9SK cars of apples and not
withstanding the quality was not
the best and ran largely to the
lower grades we averaged Sl.46
per box for all varieties and
grades and obtained as high as
$l.S0 per box for a few extra
Jonathans and $l.75 for extra
Newtown Pippins which were
wrapped in paper with layer pa
per between the layers of apples.
These of course we're the very
best and selected stock put up as
an experiment and shipped to the
New York market and results
show that it will pay to put up a
limited quantity OF our best fruit
in this manner.
Prices on apples were arrived
at by prorating prices obtained
on those we have received re-
turns on up to this date and all
apples have been credited to
growers accounts at these prices
with the understanding that those
may be varied slightly when re-
turns are received on fifteen cars
which are in storage in different
markets. some FIVE cars being in
Chicago two in New York and
the balance in Omaha. Denver
and Pueblo.
From reports on condition, in
these markets we do not antici-
pate any lower prices than we
have prorated at and hope that
they may do even better.
Regarding prices obtained for
apples ] wish to say that while
some packers seem to pack with
the idea of making a record of
the highest price per box we have
endeavored to keep the growers
interest in mind and pack as
large percentage of his crop as
is consistent with good business
The newspaper., 1909-03-26

While these prices are not as
high as some others report, grow
crs who kept track of the number
of picking boxes delivered to us
and to other dealers claim that
we paid more per picking box than
any one else for the reason that
we packed the fruit that was
delivered to us.
From reports furnished us OF
sales on eastern markets our
goods sold foi the highest market
prices at all times and Our prices
we're arrived at by tabulating the
account sales received by us
from those who handled our
goods and prorating prices with
all who delivered goods to us.
In all, we shipped Sc cars OF
peaches and early fruits. 20 OF
which went to the Chicago mark
cts averaging about 3S cents per
box for Extras and 80 cents per
box for Fancy. 20 cars to New
York markets averaging about
AZ cents for Extra and "a cents

rules or as we can pack and still
keep up the reputation for high
quality and good packing which
our pack has made for itself
among fruit handlers in all mark
cts where we sell, and we believe
our efforts along this line are un-
derstood and appreciated by all
for whom we have handled fruit
the past season. and we have
had some good compliments on
our apple pack from those who
handle the goods which is the
best evidence of good and care
full packing.
We wish to say however that if
the Grower is after a record OF
high prices per box regardless OF
the percentage of his crop that is
marketed we can Gull his crop as
closely as he wishes and of course
obtain a corresponding price.
In regard to the business for
the coming season we wish to say
that 1t is now coming to a point
where whoever handles any por-
ton Of the crop of this valley
must know what proportion he is
going to handle and prepare for
that amount in advance and we
suggest that all Growers who in
tend for us to handle their crop
should sign up as early as possible
and not later than May lst. SO
that we may be able to obtain a
sufficient quantity of material and
engage help enough 10 handle our
proportion and when we have
prepared for this quantity we will
not attempt to take on any addi-
tional business at the end of the
season as that would simply be
disastrous to the Growers whose
crops we are prepared to handle
and we feel that ii is our duty to
protect their interests first.
In this way we can obtain bet
ter results for our Growers and
also make little profit ard will
not be obliged to carry over a
large stock of supplies as We have
been doing the past three seasons,
and which it costs us considerable
money to carry.
In regard to packing methods
we wish to urge the necessity of
getting a uniform pack and be-
lieve that i, can best be obtained
by one of the following plans.
First. Either haul to our pack
ing house here or to a centrally
located point where a neighbor-
hood packing house should be
built, such as we have on German
mesa.
Second. By our crew doing
the packing at the larger orchards
where Grower must provide his
own packing house together
with all equipments such as
tables, presses and necessary
stamps for marking, all of which
must certainly be provided for be-
fore the season begins or before a
crew is called for.
With full crop every Grower

POTATOES ARE: :.
GIVING TROUBLE
MANY OF THE TtIBERS HAVE
BEEN FROSTED AND DECAY
EASILY

Sauk county potato buyers are hav-
ing trouble with the tubers. A report
from Reedsburg says that one shipper
got $1,000 for car load of 900 bushels
for which he paid $3.50 besides other
expenses. Another shipper received
$4,000. 1t is said that several thousand
bushels are stored at Prairie du Sac
and that the loss will be very heavy as
they are decaying at fearful rate.
One Baraboo shipper has lost and
others have met like fate along the
st. Paul road in this territory. Many
are stored at Reedsburg which are CIV
ing trouble and the owners will find
large holes in their cash boxes.
George Carpenter has returned from
Chicago and says that several cars
from this region have been condemned
by the health authorities at Chicago.
The losses have been quite heavy.
The potatoes in this region suffered
from the frost while in Northern
Wisconsin and elsewhere this was not
the case.
The crop in Indiana and Illinois is
very large and low price is predicted.
Mr.. Carpenter is shipping potatoes
all the time but refuses to purchase
those that are not good.
He was accompanied to Chicago by
Mrs. Carpenter and Mr.. and Mrs. J.
A. Martiny. He says that stock show
is great. He was the tenth person to
take stock in the show and is the only
stakeholder in Sauk county.

Funeral Of Mrs. Steele

A. l.. Young, B. D. Young, Mrs. L.
j. Ferris and her daughter, Mrs.
Boehm, have returned from Necedah
where they attended the funeral of
Mrs. Mary Young Steele, sister of
Messrs. Young and Mrs. Ferris. Mrs.
Ferris and daughter went to Madison
soon after the death of Mrs Steele and
Mrs. Ferris accompanied the remains
to Necedah. Mr.. Steele, the husband,
and his sister, Mrs. McCaughn, were
in the party.
Mrs. Steele died soon after the opera
ton. The operation was not similar
to the one performed before. At the
last one tumor was removed but her
vitality was so low that she could not
survive. Had her health been nearer
the normal it would have been success
full. After the operation she regained
consciousness for short time and rec
ognized those about her. 1t was sad
circumstance as the. relatives at Bara-
boo did not know Of the contemplated
operation and the first news they re,
ceived was of the death. The daugh-
ter kept the secret on account of her
venerable mother, Mrs, John Young,
of this city.

FINED FOR SELLING TO MINORS
Saloon Keeper at White Tound
Having Plenty of
Trouble.

Frank Lynch strolled into Baraboo
Thursday and received quite a shock.
When he went into the office of Dis
trict Attorney Malone, Mr.. Malone
exclaimed, "The officers got you did
they?" supposing that he had been
arrested on the charge of selling liquor
to minor. It appears that warrant
had been issued some days before on
the above charge but had not been
served by the officers. Mr.. Lynch had
been in Madison to obtain legal advice
and paused at Baraboo on his way
home to consult with the district at
torney when he received the startling
news. He went to Halsted's court at
once where he paid fine of $1,000 and
costs amounting to $3.17.
1t appears that there has been more
or less trouble at White Mound. Some
of Mr.. Lynch's patrons desired to run
the place for him but he objected and
elected some of the visitors. 1t is said
that a son of John Mears, who is
member of the county board, mashed
in door or window and Lynch had
him arrested and fined. The father of
the young man came to Baraboo and
caused a warrant to be issued against
the saloon keeper on the charge of
selling gin factory goods to minor
named James Griffin.
1t is reported also that other cases
are to come up. Mr.. Lynch evidently
believes in runping his own place.
There is no police protection and the
best advice he can get is that he has
right to keep an orderly house.

LYONS BRIDGE INSPECTED
There is Still Some Work to be Done
by the Town and City of
BaraboO. Hah .,,.si

On Wednesday the new concrete
bridge across the Baraboo river at
Lyons was inspected by Messrs Terry,
Martiny and Voll of the town of Bara-
boo and by Alderman McFetridge,
Jacobs and Effinger of the city coun-
Gil. City Engineer French was with
the party and the bridge will be paid
for soon. The town has graded to ap-
proach on the west end but at the city
side there is decided incline. After
the snow melts away in the spring the
city will get busy. The concrete is fill
ed with earth and this has much the
character of Illinois mud when damp,
in fact it clings closer than politician
to his job. In the course of human
events the surface will be paved.
Many teams are using the improve
ment. The town of Baraboo- should
pave the streets of Lyons so that the
boulevard will pass the park in the
village. David Sansum reports that
the park will be greatly improved next
year.

Indians go TO Waupun

Two young Indians, Brown Decorah
and Clark Canoe, were taken before
Judge Bunnell at Mauston and plead
ed guilty to the charge of assault with
intent to do great bodily harm. They
were each sentenced to one year at
Waupun to which place they were
taken by Sheriff Klinker and r. F.
Jones.
This is the result of an assault upon
Martin Anderson farmer living near
Camp Douglas in which Mr.. Anderson
was badly bitten and pounded and
would in all probability have been
killed but for the timely arrival OF
neighbors who had been summoned
by his daughters.
Two other Indians arrested at the
time of the assault were discharged at
the examination before Justice Lyon.

VS.. f. N. Gaskell, r. l.. Worth and
Earl ,Stettner have been taken to the
circuit court.

some discussion between the attorneys

and Stettner. 1t was then decided to
reduce the bond of each from 81 900
each to $500 each. The cases of
Messrs. Worth and Stettner had been
taken on change of venue from the
court of Justice AnGro to that of JUS

After it was announced that the cases
had gone to the circuit court the many
visitors filed down the stairs to make
haste to the court house when Judge
Stevens brings down his gavel on the
cases later.
