SUCCESSFUL IN
ANOTHER SUIT

D. D. Conway won another case in
the circuit court at Eau Claire, Sc
curing 100000 damages for W w.
Barkley. The case occupied two and
haly days and was hard fought.
Some time ago W. W. Barkley who
was employed by the Rib Lake Lum-
ber Co. was coupling a loader onto a
car and caught his foot in a cross
bar that holds the rails together at
a switch, the car struck him in such
a aWy as to drive his foot under the
cross bar and badly injure it. He
brought suit against the company
and it was brought out at the trial
that the cross bar was not used in
the right way and was so placed as to
be a constant menace to switchmen
as instead of crossing below the
under side of the rail it crossed oY-
er at a sufficient height above the
ground to trip or cacth the foot of
any one in between the rails. The
officers Of the company went out and
tried putting their foot under the
cross bar and swore on the witness
stand that it was impossible to have
the foot caught as claimed by the
plaintiff, but Mr.. Conway took heavy
socks and the kind of shoes worn by
the workmen and had the man place
his foot under the bar as at the time
of the accident and then Mr.. Conway
took a photograph of it. The photo
graph was produced at the trial
and it had a great deal to do with
the winning of the suit.

BUSINESS BLOCKS
NOW OCCUPIED

One sign of the progress of Grand
Rapids is the filling up of the va
cant stores on First street. This
week has been a record week in the
establishing Of new business enter
prises in this city. First to open
was the new hardware firm Of McaCm
ley and PomainviIIe which has taken
the store building formerly occupied
by E. w. Lowell. Next is the new
"Cozy Cafe which has opened in the
old Central House. Another new en-
terpriseyis the Taudy StudK new
photograph busin ass which Is located
on the second floor over the Levin
store. Another new business will be
opened either tonight or Monday in
the store formerly occupied by Mat
thews, the tailor This will be a bill
lard and Pool Hall operated by Mr.
Knapp who comes from Oshkosh. All
the stores on First street are now oc
cupied. Not only haev we four new
business houses but two Of them are
operated by people from out of the
city who have come here to live. Even
if we have not located a factory here.
we are getting the benefits of the ad-
vertising that the efforts to build up
the city have created. Not a great
deal has been heard about the booster
spirit lately and it is time now, wher
the whole business world is waking u
to start out and push the city to the
front.

IRISH SETTER DOG INJURED

Rex, the Irish setter hunting dog,
owned by F. G. Gilkey, was chic
reformed this morning at about $50
o'clock Alex Muir while passing
tbs Gilkey residence heard means
coming from under the front porch
and investigated. He found the dog
suffering from internal injuries and
notified the people in the house. 4
veterinary was called and found the
dog in a serious condition and ad-
vised that he be killed. 1t is not
known how the dog became injured
but it is supposed that he was run
over by an automobile as he was bad
ly. crushed and his side covered with
dirt.

IAG DAY Melted
FOR POOR FUND
THE sum Of $3.50

Tag day netted the Ladies FEEDER
alton about $4,000. This is consid-
cred very good showing and rep
resented aggressive and consistent
work upon the part of the ladies'.
Altogether, about twenty ladies were
out selling tags during the day. Mrs.
w. j. Conway and Mrs. E. NJ. Pease
started out at $50 in the morning
and at 700 o'clock Mrs. [. P. Wit
ter and Mrs. Charles Pomainville
started, the former on the west and
the latter on the east side. The
work was kept up until after s: 80 in
the afternoon. Practically every store
and place of business was entered an
a Vary thorough canvass made. Those
who bought tags may rest assured
that the money will be well spent in
the interests of the poor of the city.
The relief committee of the fedora
ton do practically all this class of
work done in the city as the chur-
ches do scarcely any and the city
itself does very little toward the re-
lief OF the poor. 1t seems that the
city authorities who should be in
charge Of the relief of the poor are
trying to throw the entire burden up
on the relief committee of the fed
Grafton. This should not be the case
and that department of the city gov
ernment should at least cooperate |
with the ladies.

REPLY TO EDI.
TORIAL COMMENT
October 80, 1911.
Daily Reporter:

Daily Reporter:
Your editorial on water power con
tention in your issue OF the 25th inst
first came to my attention today.
You are correct on the proposition
that the state, as trustee for all the
people, and the riparian owner both
have interests in the navigabIe stream
Of Wisconsin that are to be respect
ed and protected; and that the state
should not be permitted to take pri-
Vate property for any purpose with
out compensation. But you are in
error in assuming that the present
suit is to determine the relative right
of the state and the riparian in such
streams. The act in question declares
state ownership of all water power,
developed and undeveloped. The suit
in question is primarily to settle this
fundamental question.
There is, and from the earliest
times has been in this state, no ques-
ton of the states trusteeship in the
interests of all the people for certain
specified purposes in these streams,
to-wit: navigation, fishing, hunting,
bathing and swimming. For these
purposes and in the exercise of its
police power for the protection of life
and property the state has power to
see that dams are safe in construc-
ton and maintenance and to author
ize works to even the flow.
All interests were agreed that the
manner of water power development
sufficiency and safety of dams, ETC.,
should rest with some competent
body like the Railroad Commission.
But-the 1911 legislature went furth-
er. and declared state ownership of
all such water power. If this con-
tention of the state is correct, the
water power man loses his investment
If this water power is in fact the
property of the riparian the state
in attempting to thus take it is TAX
ing private property without compen-
sation. The issue therefore is clean
cut. The act provides, however,
that, if this claim of state owner
ship is declared by the courts in
valid, it is the intention Of the Iegis-
lature that the rest of the act stand.
But there are interviewer into the
whole body of the act so many pro
visions based on the idea of state
ownership that it is believed, if the
state fails in its main contention, the
whole act must on that account alone
fall

NEW YORK GRAN.
BERRY MARKET
From Producers PriCe--Current
Of November 4th, 1911.

Very best Early Blacks are now
reaching $3.50 while the general run
Of Jersey berries of choice to extra
quality are selling from $3.50 to S.
90 per barrel"
We are informed that the Wiscon-
sin cranberries were all sold over
two weeks ago, at prices for good
sound standard grades that viii rro-
badly average close to $500 per bar
rel. The Eastern crop is falling
short of early estimates and later
prices will certainly be higher.
This market report which seems
to be reliable does not agree with tn
report given us yesterday.

MANY INSTITUTES PLANNED
FOR WISCONSIN FARMERS

Many communities that have ap-
piled for farmers institutes this
year cannot be accommodated. Supt.
George McKerrow, located at the Col
Iege of Agriculture Of the University
of Wisconsin at Madison, reports tha1
133 meetings have been planned for
this winter. These are located in al
most every county in the state. In
fact there are only two or three coun
ties that will not have institutes. In
some cases towns that had the insti-
tutes last year will be the meeting
place again this year but many of the
meetings are palnned for new loca-
tions.

NOT LEGAL To
HUNT WITH DOCS
Error in Folder Sent Out by
State Game Warden Leads to
Confusion.

1t IS reported that yesterday there
were several hunting parties in the
woods using dogs in pursuit of rab-
bits and partridges. These infrac-
tons of the game laws were doubt
less dus to misunderstanding, or
rather t. conGcting reports sent out
by Sta G1ma- Warden John A
Sholts. The game warden depart
ment early sent out a little folder
which purported to contain synop-
sis Of the state fish and game laws,
but it contains several inaccuracies.
Among the prohibited things in hunt.
ing it gives hunting or worrying
deer prohibited at all times, and the
use Of dogs to hunt any game during
the open season of deer is prohibit
ed. " Copies of this folder have been
mailed to many applicants for licen-
ses and the opinion has become quite
general that dogs could be used for
hunting rabbits and partridges except
during the last twenty days of No
vember when it was lawful to hunt
deer.
The fact is the law reads as fol
lows: 1T shall be unlawful and is
hereby prohibited for any person or
persons to hunt any game of any
kind with a dog or dogs during the
month of November, in the counties
where deer are allowed to be killed
or hunted
1t will be well for local hunters to
bear this in mind Wausau Record

STATE WILL
FISH CARP
Profits to go Into the Wiscon-
sin State Treasury.

The state of Wisconsin is going in
to the carp" business on a whole
sale scale. State Fish and Game
Warden John A. Sholts has announc-
ed that no more permits VIII be
issued by the department to private
individuals to sein carp, but that all
the seining will be done under the
direction of the state department,
the receipts for the sale of carp to
he turned over to the state treasurer
for use in the general fund.
1t is estimated that the receipts
for the sale of carp, which are ship
ped to eastern markets by the car
loads, to be sold as canned salmon,
will aggregate several thousands of
dollars.
The new policy of the state fish and
game warden applies to all Of the
lakes in the state. The seining will
be done by experienced men who
will receive a salary for their ser
vices The start of the seining cam
paign already is on at Lake Kegon-
sa.
Carp are seined out of the lake up
on the theory that they destroy game
fish and must be taken from the
lakes if the game fish are to be
saved. Just how much seining will
be done has not been determined. Mr.
Sholts takes the position that the
carp are the property of all the peo.
pie of the state and if there is any
revenue to be gained from taking
them out of the lakes, the state is
entitled to the money.
