BIRD HOUSE PRIZES.
Names Lost Through Lack OF Records
in Numbering system.

The winners in the Civic Improve
ment Associations bird house contest
among boys up to IA years old, last
night were announced by numbers at
the Park theater. The decision of the
judges was made in the afternoon.
Owing to the fact that no record of
the boys numbers were kept it was
impossible to learn the names OF the
winners after they had received their
prizes and disappeared in the crowd
of youngsters who crowded around
the platform where the announcement
was made.
The winning numbers were as fol-
lows: No. 10, first, So; No. ~, second,

GROWERS SEEK
MARKETS FOR
STRAWBERRIES
Cape Will be Deluged by an
Unprecedented Crop
Prices to Fall.
COM'L CLUB MAY AID
SHIPPERS ORGANIZE
Secretary Will Form Clearing
House for Community
Carload.

On The eve Of harvesting what prob
ably will be the greatest strawberry
crop in recent history Of Cape County.
farmers who depend upon the Cape as
a market for their product, are facing
a prospect of unprecerded low prices,
and as result are seeking Il way out
by community carload shipments to
larger cities.
Steps will be taken today by Secre-
tary Martin of the Commercial Club
to endeavOr to bring large growers Of
berries near the Cape together for the
purpose of organizing 4 strawberry
clearing house through the CONNER
cial Club.
BY means of organized community
shipping Il large portion of the bcl'-
ries brought to the Cape and practi-
cally all those that the Cape Itself
cannot use, may find 4 profitable mar
ket outside" Mr. Martin said last
night.
"The general rains that the County
has had in the last two days will mean
crop Of berries larger and better
than ever before" declared Seth Bah
cock. of the Normal School, yesterday
afternoon.
The rainfall makes the berries Just
. little bit watcry, but not to any
great extent. and they will be sweet.
This week will sec the vast ma
iority of berries ripened and prepared
for market. Unless something is done
to afford an outlet, we will sec the
bottom drop out of tn prices on straw
berries in this city and they will be
drug on the market
"a proposition to get the growers
together to make carload shipments
is very practical and it will mean
much to the farmers who take part
in it."
1t was largely on Professor Bah
cocks suggestion that Secretary Mar
tin has utilized the Commercial Club
as an impromptu clearing house for
berry shipments. He will communi-
cate with Professor BabcOck this
morning and the two men probably
will get in touch with berry growers
near the Cape who will be interested
in taking part in berry shipping
project.
Emil Umbeck, who is one Of the
heaviest growers near the Cape, cx-
poets to have heavy crop. About 2
week ago he told reporter for Tho
Tribune that his Investigations had
proved conclusively that the Chicago
market is better than S.. Louis for
Cape County growers to ship to.
The Suthern berries go to ST. Louis
and that market still IS foodc with
berries that can not be sent further
into Chicago. The Michigan berries,
which usually go to Chicago, have not
commenced to ripen, and the Southeast
Missouri crop could find an advantage
eOus market there.
A car load could be loaded in the
Cape in the evening. sent across the
Thehes bridge and be delivered in Chi
cago the following morning, if The
railroad company will give is the at
tention usually accorded to pcrishab.o
fruit.
Secretary Martin, after preliminary
Investigations in the Cape this horn
ing, will telegraph to St. Louis and
Chicago to learn what tentative ar
rangements may be made for handling
the produce there Cor the local berry
growers.

FORNFELT and
ILLMO GRIPPED
BY SMALLPOX
Towns Virtually Quarantine
Selves in Fight on
Malady.
ONCE CASE is FOUND
IN CAPE; NO DEATHS
Spread Started Two Weeks Ago
From Unrecognized Form
of the Disease.

FoInfelt and limo, nine miles south
west of the Cape. are threatened with
an impending epidemic Of smallpox.
There are eleven cases in these two
towns, while one case now is under
quarantine in the Cape.
Both towns have placed themselves
virtually under 4 quarantine. Physi-
clans and tOwrspeople together are
striving to stamp out the disease. and
last night FOrnfelt physicians express
ed the belief that two weeks will see
an end of the epidemic.
Only one case in Fornfelt is serious.
4 man named Webb has been confined
to his bed for several days. The other
patients are able to be up. Everyone
in the town is being urged to be vac
cinated against smallpox.
Public meetings of all kinds, picture
shows, ard cOnCOurses have been put
under ban pending the restoration of
health to the smallpox victims and the
end of the epidemic.
The public schools have been closed
since the past few days, the end of the
term having arrived and parents are
being urged by the physicians to keep
children as closely as possible to their
homes.
The one case in the Cape is that of
H. l.. Loos of Jefferson and Hanover
streets. 1t is believed he contracted
the disease while working at Illmo.
A week ago yesterday physicians were
summoned to diagnose his case. 1t
had been unrecOgnized for some time.
At Fornfclt the malady first made
its appearance on Charles knOop, a
salOOnkeeper there, who had an attack
and the disease was not recognized
at first. He developed a few of the
characteristic postules. Other persons
contracted the malady from contact
with him, it is thought.
Knoop now has recovered and has
been released from quarantine. An
drew Georges. a son of Mrs. John
Georges has a case in a family Of five
persons.
The disease is also prevalent in the
Castleman family. Mr.. Castleman is
q restaurant man living next door to
the Knoop saloon. A grocer named
French also is suffering with the dis
ease, likewise his clerk.
In addition there are three others
in Fornfelt who have smallpox but
whose names could not be learned last
night.
In limo a series of box cars which
house negro workmen employed on
roads and other public works being
carried on in that town, have been
placed under quarantine because two
women in the small negro settlement
have severe cases of the disease.
There are about 50 men in the group,
al of whom have been kept from their
work. Yesterday physicians began to
make arrangements for their fumiga-
ton and the release of some Of the
men from quarantine.
Owing to the fact that smallpox is
considered cold weather malady. the
physicians in charge of the situation
in FOrnfelt and Illmo last night were
not alarmed.

The vote by wards follows:
Total .595

Every ward in the city showed 4
large increase in the vote polled yes
terday over the total cast at the first
election. The First and the Fourth,
the banner wards for the bond issue,
made the largest increases. At the
first election the Fourth ward cast
AZ for the bond issue and Is against.
The Fourth ward yesterday cast
more than twice as many votes for the
bond issue as it voted altogether at
the first election. The First ward
made a similar showing. The Second
and Third wards, although increasing
in the total vote, maintained about the
same proportions as they voted at the
first election.
NJ. f. Leming was one of the bust
est men in the city yesterday in behalf
of TIE bond issue. He rented bus
and took the men employed in his
lumber mills to the polls. While he
did not ask any Of them how they
expected to vote, he called to their
attention the fact that his plant was
without any fire protection, and he
left it entirely to the discretion of the
men as to how they should vote. 1t is
understood that virtually every one
of them supported the bond issue.
VOgelsang Brothers, the well-knOwn
contractors, notified their employees
that they would be given an afternoon
off with pay. Henry Vogelsang, the
senior member of the firm, asked his
employees to vote for the bond issue,
but he did not ask any individual how
he expected to vote.
Those who were opposed to the bond
issue were busy campaigning yester-
day. Col. T. jeff Shorb, Louis Witt
NOR and Edward Regenhardt were the
trench workers against the PROPOSE
ton in the Second ward. They an
nounced Monday that they would get
a majority of the votes in the ward,
but this trio were overwhelmingly
beaten yesterday, in spite Of the fact
that no campaign was made in that
ward by the friends of the bond issue.
After the returns had been officially
counted, Councilman Jay E. Fowler
called at The Tribune Office to say
that he favored taking the fire depart
ment out of politics, and placing it
upon a permanent basis, or so long as
the men render efficient service.
81 have always felt that the fire
department should be governed under
the civil service plan," said Mr.. Fowl
err. This would give the city the best
results, and l would support any prop
osition looking to that end"
Mayor Rage last night was elated
over the passage of the fire depart
ment bonds.
81 felt that my position in wishing
to give the city adequate fire protec-
ton through the purchase of modern
equipment would be supported when
the issue was squarely put before the
voters" he said. "The Tribune stood
for the square thing, and without its
support the bond issue would have
failed.
"The only reason that the bond issue
lost on the initial vote was because of

Variable Factors Must Be Taken into
Consideration.
The cost Of road is dependent upon
not only the type OF construction. but
the amount and character Of grading TO
be done, the cost Of labor and mate
rails, the width and thickness Of sur
facing, the character and amount Of
drainage required and other factors of
equal variability. Based upon general
averages. 1t has been ascerrained by
highway specialists of the department
that under average conditions mac
adam roads can be built in southern
states at from $4,000 to 5000 per mile.
gravel roads at from $500 to $500
per mile and sand-clay and top soil
roads at from $500 to $500 per mile.
In New England and the other eastern
states macadam roads are reported at
from $4,000 to 5000 per mile, gravel
roads at from 5000 to 5000 and btu
minous macadam from 5000 to $13.-
