That the apple growers OF Charlie
voix County could receive a much
). better price for their fruit IL 1t were
lproperly graded aud packed was again
manifested this week. A gentleman
in Chicago. at the solicitation Of one
Of our apple growers, interviewed over
twenty commission merchants in that
city on the question OF why our apples
did not bring better price. LII every
Case he was Informed that our apples
@ere NOT prqperly graded and packed
and that this was the main reason
the merchants Of Chicago were re-
ticient about handling Michigan APP
pies. Charleyoix County has approx
matelv 10000 acres of apple orchards
and the time has come when the
growers must organize and perfect
plans for grading il they expect t.
get a reasonably high price for their
frqit.
Sheriff Durfee Of Gaylprd was
somewhat surprised Sunday mnrnine
to awaken ana lind that the -four
prisoners, who were incarctrated in
the Jail, had in some manner effected
sp exit and had taken French leaye'
The sheriff retired Saturday night
about IL o'clock, and all the prisoners
were safely locked up, he supposed; at
least they were there earlier in the
evening. II is thought that some-
one had passed them hack saw some
time during the day aud that they
had sawed the bars of the Jail, tbu'
making their escape. During the
night the dogs about the Jail made
considerable disturbance, but failed
TO awaken the sheriff, and it is sup
pused that they made their escape at
that time. A number OF deputies
were Immediately summoned and
search made through the surround
ing country. Up TO last night no
trace Of the fugitives had been found
The Jail is located In tue basement OF
the court house aud is rather fiimsy
affair, a number Of prisoners In the
past having made their escape.
