Board of PardOns to Consider
Communication of Chou
nard Sentence.
RELATIVES PLAN STRONG PLEA
FOR CLEMENCY.
EDITION 18th Several Thousand
Names to Be Presented By =..-
Attorney Larson.

The state board of pardOns has
fixed next Monday as the day
when it will hear the evidence
and grounds upon which the
friends and relatives 4of VIM.
Chounard, who shot his wife,
Dora Chounard, at Cass Lake,
and is sentenced to be hung for
the crime, base their application
for the communication of the SEN
tence to life.
Chounard's case will be repre-
scented before the board by At
torney Larson, Of Brainerd, who
represented him at the trial.
Several of his relatives will also
be present, prepared to make
powerful pleas, and petitions to
which are attached the names OF
several Thousand people, friends
and acquaintance in this section
Of the state, will be presented. It
is stated that a number Of the
jurymen who tried the case haye
signed the petition. This the
Pioneer cannot verify.
Chounard's friends generally
hope for clemency, but the case
was so clear and the trial so fair
and impartial that there is little
ground upon which the board can
find itself justified in committing
the sentence.
The petition was circulated by
the sister and aunt of the con-
demned man. Few people de-
MED them their signatures, and
it is said that in the majority Of
cases it was signed more through
sympathy for the relatives than
honest conviction that the sen
tence should be committed tolife.
Opinion is divided asto whether
the sentence should or should
not be committed. Many people
do not favor capital punishment
and are Of course in favor of com
mutation. On the other hand
there are many who feel that
while the matter isIa delicate one,
if iustice should be melted out
Chounard would pay the penalty
Of one Of the most sensational
crimes ever committed in this
section with bis life. They hold
that the -circu instances under
which twas committed were I'M
usual and that in this section
where occurrences ofthe same
sort have not been infrequent to
say the least a wholesome exam
pie is needed for which the case
furnishes the subject matter.
Chounard hopes for pardon
and the hope that his sentence
will be COMMITTED is said to be
the only thing that keeps him
from total collapse. He is kept

American Lumberman Gives
Account of Interesting In.
dustry at Hinckley.
GREAT INTEREST AROUSED In
THE EXPERIMENT.
Believed That plan Will Prove
Profitable to Entire North
Country.

In the American Lumberman
we notice reference made to the
plant located at Hinckley which
extracts turpentine and tar from
from old pine stumps. The com
pany, known as the#Ss Standard
Turpentine Manufacturing com
pany, was organized May, 1903,
and located at Hinckley in June
of that year. The first extract
ing=plant was located nine miles
east OF Hinckley, the pine stumps
in that vicinity being Of the Nor
way variety. The first pair of
retorts was put in operation in
September and a small distilling
plant was put in for refining
crude turpentine until perma-
nent distillery could be built and
operated at Hinckley.
The system is known as the
Russian method, as it is said it
has been in operation in Russia
for many years. The process is
destructive distillation. Retorts,
installed in pairs, are made of
boiler iron, and are encased in
brick, with a space between the
retort and the casing. A fur
mace connects with these castings
The stumps are placed in the re
torts in large iron baskets man
ipulated by a derrick, each re-
tort holding five baskets. When
the retort is loaded the cover is
placed on and sealed. Heat is
then applied and circulates be-
tween the casing and the retorts
AS the heat increases, the
vapor from which the turpen-
tine is made rises and is led
off to a condenser. The tar
products accumulate on the
bottom Of the retort and are
led off through pipes. After
the tufpentine and the pro-
ducts are extracted, extra heat
is applied and the residue that
remains is charcoal.
1t is confidently expected
that the venture will prove a
success. In the first attempt,
ten cords of stumps we're used,
which cost the company $65.
that is, S$3 a cord for the stumps
and $1.25 a cord for five cords
of refuse wood for fuel. The
results are given as follows:
|16O gals. refined turpentine. $96
400 gals. tar products. 40
300 bushels charcoal Is
A total of $151, at wholesale
prices.
During the autumn the com
pany kept a crew of men pull
ing stumps off lands adjoining
the factory, taking the stumps
for their pay. A man and
team can pull three cords per
day, especially such as are
found in the vicinity of the fac
tory, many Of which can be
pulled out with horses, but
where this cannot. be done they
are blown out with dynamite.
After the stumps are out they
are split open and thrown into
piles to dry.
We have viewed this enter
prise with intense interes from
the first, and from the stand
point of the farmer, we have
an almost feverish anxiety that
it shall prove a success, -as,-if
Fit does, it will mean that land
will be cleared of pine stumps
within the next decade, which
would not be cleored of the
same under other conditions in
half century. We shall con
tinue to watch this work with
the keenest interest.
