LOADING BY ELECTRICITY.
Newly Discovered Power Much Used
in Handling CnrgOes.

a few years ago the idea of loading a
ship with $500 tons of flour in "a hours
by means of two small motors would
have been looked upon as absurd. This
was done the other dayin Tacoma, says
an exchange. Two thousand tons of
cargo have frequently been loaded or
unloaded in a day by steam power, but
the important factor in the record
breaking achievement at Tacoma was
that the conveyor was worked by cleo
tricity With the apparatus which has
been designed for the purpose -four and
grain can be loaded at any stage of the
tide and independently of the weather.
If it should rain a canvas is quickly
spread from the door of the warehouse
to the ships hatch. With the system of
loading ordinarily used IS men are re-
CURED to do the work of one electric
conveyor, with which the bags are de-
livered into the ships hold at the rate
OF $500 TO 2,700 pounds a minute. or
70 tons an hour When extra speed is
desired two conveyors are employed.
This was done when the record of 9. 500
tons in "a hours was made. The electric
conyeyor is 40 feet long. 1t is moved
at will on two wheels in the center. A
two-horse power motor supplies the
power, the current being taken from
the nearest electric wires. The sacks
are placed on revolving belt of rubber,
which passes over 10 rollers. The belt
is propelled by a driving wheel at
tached to the side of the apparatus. The
rolls are placed close together and the
belt revolyes at sufficient speed to car
ry all the weight in flour or grain that
can be placed upon it. The conveyor
works as well when placed at an angle
of As degrees as when on a level.

After mighty struggle with the surf
the boat was launched just as the storm

Of news:
On Wednesday evening, when Joseph
Gruber of Mulllgan was going across
the Windhorn bridge south of town, he
was accosted by two strangers who at
tempted to stop his team with the sup
posed purpose of robbing him. He inn
mediately saw the plan and whipped up
his horses, but they shot at him three
times, one of the bullets piercing his cap.
Mr.. Gruber was in town today and made
known the incident to us. He says the
men were apparently strangers and from
the early darkness of the evening he
could not quite distinguish them. This
is one of the boldest attempts to high
way robbery that we have heard of in
this section.

While thus eng aged the sheriff looked
up their-team and wagon and attached
the property When the dance was ov-
er the brothers went to the barn to get
their outfit and start for home. Not
finding the team and wagon, they made
inquiries and discovered that the prop
erty had been attached to satisfy debt
for 500, due from John Lober to the
firm of Klossner s. Mueller. Now it APP
pears that the team and wagon were
owned BY Frank Lober, and when he de-
manded the return of his property, the
firm Informed him that if John would
give q new note, endorsed by Frank, the
outfit would be surrendered. This prop.
osition was not accepted and the BROTH
ers went to Mankatc to hire lawyer.
Attorney Evan Hughes took the case.
for them and on Wednesday made a
formal demand for the property on the
ground that it did not belong to John
Lober at all. .z.
The sheriff consulted the finn and the

November Ladies' Home Journal: A
few years ago, when Evangelist Moody
was preaching in the slums Of a large
city, he was delayed in leaving the hall
till late in the evening. The exit was in
back street, and as he left the building
he found a number of roughs waiting to
annoy him. AS he walked along he heard
them say, "Here he comes" !" and they
prepared to jostle him from the sidewalk.
Going straight up to the ring g-leader Mr..
Moody held out his overcoat, and, with
elf-possession that commanded respect,
said:
my friend, won't you just help me on
with this overcoat? l am not quite so
active now as | was at your age, and
some day, when you are as old as l am,
I'll be glad to do you the same favor"
No bully was ever more completely
taken back with surprise. He held the
overcoat for the evangelist to get into it,
and then thanking the young man for his
aid, Mr.. Moody went along unmnIested.
