few fields, but they have multiplied by
millions and much wheat will be almost
a. total loss. The bugs are at work in
fields on both sides of the st. Croix and
the wheat fields in this vicinity which
promised magnificent yield Will
harvest only a medium crop and some
scarcely none at all.
The property and assets of the Min
nesota Thresher Manufacturing COM
pany Of this city, were sold a few weeks
ago by Howard S. Abbott, master in
chancery of the United States circuit
court to Roscoe II. Bronson, OF this
city, with whom was associated one or
two capitalists from Saltwater and Min
neapolis. The outcome of their acqui-
sition Of the property has been the
formation Of a new company, which is
to be known as the Northwest Thresher
company. Papers covering the incor-
poration of the new company were yes
terday filed with the secretary Of state
and show that the new concern has
been organized under the laws of West

gentlemen associated with Mr.. Bronson

Bronson and F. M Prince, vice presi-
dents; e. D. Burlington, general man
ager and treasurer and George E. Will
son, secretary. Speaking of future plans
for the company Mr.. Wolfer said:
We intend to make the business a
growing one and shall conduct it with
that end in view. We paid cash for it
and have put in enough additional capt.
tai to make it a, success. Just as soon
as we get our shipments out of the way
we snail order our material for next
years machines. There VIII be no shut
down Of the shops. We shall increase
the number of machines manufactured.
In fact, an aggressive policy along every
line will be carried out. While / have
large pecuniary interest in the COM
pany, my duties as warden of the state
prison will not permit me to give any
considerable time to the details of the
business. Mr.. Burlington as general
manager, has the business well in hand.
He has had nearly twenty years ex-
perience in the work and we feel we are
to be congratulated upon having him
with US in our work of expansion and
development"
