MORE POWER IS NEEDED
Eagle Mill Will Install Another
"a
- Large Ware.
Would Relieve Present Stationary
of Part its Load.
Believed That Coal Consumption
Can Thus be Reduced.

To relieve the present stationary
engine of part of it's load, the Eagle
Roller Mill company will next year
install another engine. Although the
stationary now in use is a mammoth
affair, with 1900 horse power, it is
somewhat overtaxed. Within the year
the capacity of the mill has been
doubled and the additional machinery
has increased it's work greatly. 49,.
While itcan handle the load when
the mill is running to its full capacity,
the engine must be pushed to discharge
it's functions and more fuel is used
than would be the case could it pull
the mill with ease. Economy in the
boiler room is what the management
is after and in order to reduce the coal
consumption they will put in a second
airy engine.
AS the Eagle mill is built in two
separate sections, it is intended to
have an engine for each. Thus the
new engine will operate the old mill
and the /, 200-horse machine will take
care ofthe larger section. It planned
to have the new engine of either 400 or
500 horse power and an addition will
be built on the engine room. The
building will be extended out toward
the sidetrack as far as possible and
the engine built to order to fit the
space. +
Another way in which the Eagle mill
IpIant will be bettered is by the pur-
chase of an additional marine boiler,
a companion to the one put in this
summer. When the latter was installed
the management had this improvement
in mind, for space was left in which il
could be erected and stoker connec.
tions were made for two boilers instead
of one.
After the test of the boiler built by
is. Freeman & Sons showed that itwas
| up to specifications and really effected
a saving in coal, it was decided to
carry out the original plan. The pro
posed boiler, however; will be con
siderably larger than its mate. I
will be of the same type but will have
/ a capacity Of about 400 horse power
instead of 300.
AS early in the spring as possible
work will be begun on the improve
ments. Their completion will give tn
mill two powerful engines and a bat
/ terry of six big boilers.

LITTLE DEMAND FOR FISH
Salmon Did Not Sell and Mankato Men
Lose Money.

Mankato fnanciers do not appear
to be amazingly successful with the
industries they promote. Only few
months ago Texas oil company Or
gained in that city went to the wall
and now it is4reported that the Alaska
Fish & Lumber company is on the
verge of failure.
The Alaska concern was distinctly a
Mankato product. Lemuel P. Hunt,
formerly editor of the Mankato Free
Press and at one time a prominent
politician in the district, is said to
have been the principal capper and it
was the purpose of the company to
operate large fisheries in the north.
Salmon were to be canned in great
quantities and the men who were let in
on the ground floor had it figured out
that they couldn't possibly lose. In
fact, so rosy was the prospect that
Hunt is credited with having made
plans to move to Alaska, stringing
his wires for the appointment as
governor of that territory.
Stock was put upon the market and
it sold with wonderful rapidity. Mer-
chants of that town showed no hest
fancy in subscribing to "Salmon Pre-

ferred," and, in at least one instance,
a wealthy professional man invested
every dollar he possessed in the enter
prise.
Labor at the fisheries during the first
season was productive of results and
an immense catch was made. Then the
fish were placed in tins but when the
officials of the company came to
market them they found that their
product was in the class with the
famous embalmed beef. For some
reason, it is said, the fish were of an
inferior grade and the Gamers were
unable to dispose of them at any
figure.
AS result they have have neat
collection of bright tin cans. nicely
sealed and neatly labelled, and these
represent the assets of the company.
They are in storage and will probably
remain so, but in the meantime the
officers are sending out word that the
company will be able to recover from
it's reverses. This is not thought like
ly and the failure of the company will
embarass several Mankato men who
invested heavily. To satisfy his
creditors, one Of these gentlemen has
already sold all his real property, his
automobile and other articles, and
placed a mortgage on bis home.

AS the New Richmond victims relate
the story, the stage was halted when near
the summit of a long hill by a man who
stepped out of the brush and took po-

mount and line up beside the road, and
then highwayman No. appeared out OF

over their faces.
The robbers kept up a runnig fire OF

put UP pretty strong hard luck story

money. Mr.. McGrath had the same
money refund, but not his watch.

GLENDIVE, MONT.--Joe McFran, a
sheepherder for Milan Brooks, was
brought to town last night suffering in
tense agony from the bite of rattIesnake
received in the morning The snake
craWled into a hole and McFran caught It
by the tail. There was another hole a few
inches distant and the snake ran its head
up thru this and struck him on the hand.
McFran went to a water hole nearby
which was extremely salty and drank a
great quantity OF water. His legs became
paralyzed and he gave up hope. A horse
came by at 2 o'clock dragging a long pick
ct rope. McFran was enabled to mount
and rode the animal to James Cavanaugh,s
ranch ten miles distant. w. T. Jordan
helped him from the horse and sent him to
aGlendive, a distance of twenty-five miles.
He will recover, tina the doctors con-
slider it miraculous and probably due to the
large amount Of alkai water which he
drank and which acted as an antidote.
