CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS

The attention of the circuit court
is given this week to a case en-
titled Calumet Service Co., Of Chill
ton. Attorneys for the plaintiff are
Messrs. Thompson, Pinkerton and
Jacobson; defendants attorneys, Fox
Kerwin and Martin. This is a case
where the city of Chiffon granted a
franchise for Is years to the Calu-
met Service Co., to build lighting
plant and the city contracted from
them light service for a period
of ten years. The city would make
no contract with the company for
lighting the streets and consequently
the Calumet Service Co., shut down
their plant. The city then started
to build a light plant of their
own and the Service Co., enjoined
them from operating it. The merits
of this franchise are now being
tried before Judge Webb in this
city.

RlPON COLLEGE TRACK TEAM
Is WITHOUT A CAPTAIN

Robert B. Mcdonald of Grand Rap
ids was elected to the position last
Spring following the close Of a sue
cessful season, but during the sum-
mer Mac" announced his marriage
and when Fall came around failed
to return to college. He was the Ii
gitimate man for the position and
would easily have been one of the
best college track men in the mid
die west this year. His work was
unusually good in every event from
the century up. He was a star at
the 220 and in the low hurdles, and
also a good man in the high jump.
But now the college faces the
problem of selecting a new man.
Who it will be is uncertain. The
athletic association has been dis
rupted through a recent reorginaza-
ton. Where the present authority
lies is question. The new con-
stitution has been selected and un-
I'll the authority IS rested somewhere
the track men will be without a lead
er.
McDonald's loss will be materially
felt by the Crimson squad. Not only
was he a reliable man and easily one
of the best in the northwest in his
events, but he was experienced, and
experience counts for considerable
in the running game. There are sew
eral old men in college, and several
young stars who are all likely candi-
dates for the position.

BUY POSTAGE STAMPS
OR STAMPED ENVELOPES

Ever since the establishment of
rural free delivery by the government,
carriers have had trouble with patrons
in reference TO placing pennies in
rural boxes instead of stamping their
letters. During the cold winter
weather, it is d great deal of trouble
for carriers TO take off their mittens
and pick out pennies in a rural box.
Commencing with Feo, 10Th next, tie
department has decided that ca rierS
will not be obliged TO take letters
unless they are stamped and ready for
mailing. Patrons, will therefore take
notice of this ruling, and provide
themselves and keep on hand the
necessary postage or stamped envelopes
to do their letter writing. Hereafter,
pennies and nickleS will not be accept
ed on any r. f. D. route for postage.

AGITATION AGAINST HIGH
PRICES OF FOOD PRODUCTS

The recent agitation in the large
cities of the country, against the
prevailing high prices for all staple
food products, has been very marked,
and the influence of this movement is
being felt throughout the land. The
people of New York, Chicago, Pitts
burg, Kansas City and other large
cities are forming organizations in an
effort to boycott the meat trust, by re-
fuSing to purchase animal food pro-
ducts, and depending on a strictly
vegetarian diet for sustenance. The
rumor that the national government
will prosecute the beef barons to the
full limit Of, though law is another
cause for uneaSineSs among these sell
fish magnates. The systematic fight
which is being waged by tue people of
the cities against the food combines,
has had marked tendency TO reduce
the prices on all meat and dairy pro-
ducts as is shown by the latest market
reports, the quotations denoting a
material decrease in the price Of these
staple articles.
While this reaction has not been
felt to any great extent by the smaller
cities and villages, it is only matter
of short time when prices on all
food products will be reduced to, at
least semblance OF the normal
Creamery butter dropped six cents
pound in this city Wednesday, which
is the biggest slump in price ever
noted in this community for ibis pro-
duct. and while meat, -four and eggs
continue firm, it will not be long be-
fore they too will show a material
raducfiop in miro

THE ELECTRIC
RAILWAY
The Surveyors are Now at
Work Between Stevens Point

(SteVens Point JournaL)

The surveyors employed in locating
the preliminary lines of the pro-
posed Chicago & Wisconsin Valley
Electric railway are now at work be-
tween this city and PIoyerand are
quartered at Hotel Denver, under
charge of Mr.. Dunlap, chief locating
engineer. The crew win survey the
line through the city to a point
couple of miles north, to ensure a safe
exit in case the road isbuilt, and will
then return to Portage and survey the
line south to Madison. Later they
viii probably return here and taking
up the work where they left off, will
continue on to Wausau andMerrill.
Allen T. Russell, chief engineer
and promoter of the proposed railway
was in the city today in conference
with d. E. Frost, local director of the
company, over various matters Of i'm
pOrtant moment to the company.
Applications will be made to the
Sbl4llO1 GOuiltIi at VI ICleoC iICAL 1uCS
day night for a street railway fran
chise in that city, and a similar ap-
plication will be made here at the
council meeting in March. Mr. Rus

company have been arranged for and
the principal details to be attended tt
OF IN,
the cities in which local street car
service is to be inaugurated. Just
as soon as these matters can be
closed up the company will begin
assembling material on the ground
and construction will be commenced
at one or several points, presumably
at first at Portage.
The road will do a local and thru
fast business in passenger, express,
mail and freight traffic. The
through passenger, mail and freight
service will be handled by heavy elec
trio locomotives andthe local passen-
ger and express business by ordi-
nary trolley cars. In the cities the
rails will be laid in the public streets
but through the country the company
will operate over a private right of
way.
The company expects to begin con-
struction as soon as the building sea-
son opens and if no unforeseen delays
between Stevens Point and Portage
and possibly Madison early in the
fall.

LETTER FROM FLORIDA
Hilliard, Florida.

Jan. 1910
a. L. Fontaine,
Dear Sir:
When l left Grand Rapids l prom
ised you I would write you a let
ter and tell you how I liked this
country. | am pleased to inform you
that I was favorably impressed from
the start and like it here very much
l feel now as if l would never go
back to Wisconsin to live but on.
ly to visit. | have purchased five
small farms and five lots in town.
am building seven room house
IN town and have it we'll under way.
have two lots cleared and ploughed,
not root in them. They look fine
l intend to plant the biggest part of
them to Irish potatoes. They say
that tomatoes do lots better on new
ground here than potatoes but l
want some Irish potatoes and am
going to give it trial l am going
to clear one farm of 10 acres and
plant it this spring. They commence
planting here about the 25th of Jan
uary and therefore 1 hope to get
potatoes and garden truck on the
market early. Since our arrival here
| have had plenty of work, more than
could do. The wages are not quite
as good as they are in Wisconsin.
They have three saw mills here and
one planning mill and they can not
turn out lumber as fast as they want.
New homes are going up all over
this new town site. Those who have
recently come to this new location
look forward to quite a large city
The Cornwall Farm Land Co. is do
ing everything in their power to
boom this town and build it up. My
lots and where I am building my new
house is about or nearly the center
of the town site. We already have
here one store, barber shop, jewelry
store, blacksmith shop, town hall,
drug store and doctors office, livery
stables one hotel and another large
one nearing completion. You can
guess it's size when I tell you that
my contract price was $500 for plas-
tering it. My family came here on
the 18th of January and l have been
more contented ever since their arriv
al. They enjoy this location and
the climate here very much and ap-
pear to be rapt UP in their new home
surroundings. We are only about 80
miles from the Atlantic ocean and
have nice warm breezes from that
direction. We all think that we will
like it here and feel positive that
We will unless the hot weather dur
ing the summer months is worse thar
We think it will be. We hire color
ed men here for SIS and $40 month
to do common labor and they ap-
pear to do pretty good work There
are more colored people here than
whites and this seems odd to US.
Oranges sell here for 20 cents per
dozen and they are large and juicy
ones, seem to be very much better
than when we get them in the north.
We get them here right from the
trees and they appear to be of fin
er flavor andwe have all that we
want of them. Will close for this
time but will write you again later
after I have more experience in
southern living.
Yours respectfully,
Fred Gaehler.
