PINE STUMPS AN ASSET
Erstwhile Despised Element May Be
Turned to Account in
Commercial WAY.

The pine stump that has been des'
spised, Which, to hse a wonted polit.
ical platform phrase, has been viewed
with alarm. now promise to be q
source of industry that will be promi'
nent In tie activities of the future Of
. northern Wisconsin.
For q rerssn to have said this five
years ago would have to be laughed at,
but the thing has been tried, success
fully tried.
The writer recently visited plant
that produces 100 gallons of turpen-
tine. 80 gallons of oil Of tar, 100 gal
Ions of tar and $50 bushels Of charcoal
per day, besides other products, from
pine stumps.
It is a paying institution, as an in
dustry and ss market for the stumps.
The farmers that are clearing land
bring IN their stumps for which they
get $500 per 1000 pounds. The set
tiers find it source of profit, some
saying that they actually make at
profit In pulling and marketing stunps.
At the liant these stamps are sawn in
to blocks like heater wood. 1t prob
ably would be more economical to have
portable saw taken to the farmers
place ard do the saving there, it GER
tainly would expediate handling.
The writer hereof visited the plant
it sn interesting industry, descrip-
tioa of which we will give later.
The system is what is called there
the Russian method-for what reason
we know not, for the method 10 as old
as civilization or thereabouts.
But the interesting fact is that the
pine stumps Of northern Wisconsin
have en- industrial value, capable OF
conversion into commercial products to
the profit of ali concerned.
The News has assumed the trouble
and expense Of looking this matter up
for the benefit of its readers and the
county in general. You will be ia
teFested in the further information
which this paper win give and We
trust will assist in various wars In Sc
curing for the benefit OF the commu-
Mtg some of these novel and bened-
cial Industries.
A lanker, on whose lands this con-
Germ has pulled several hundred acres
of stumps when the settlers didn't
bling enough, expressed the belief that
III the pine sections these plants will
become Gs common as ereameries. -
When the News representative vas at
the plant the gentleman was plowing up
100 acres upon which the stumps had
been pulled by the concern on the
mutual thank you" plaA.

AN ELECTION JUBILEE
Reeds Election the Occasion for a
Large Time at Brnce the
Other Night.

0tAOI ~ NASAts
Our friends over in the sister city of
Bruce were loyal to Reed, recent can
didate for sheriff, now sheriff elect.
Not many of them thought that their
favorite could be elected as an inde-
pendent candidate. The feared the
straight voting and some Of them would
not forget that the old political mashine
isn't what it fused to was" They had
noted that the News was the only paper
in the county supparting Reeds can
didacy. So the good people Of Bruce
ION this occasion Reedstown) were loaf
to believe the early returns. They felt
within themselves a longing to do some
thing grand, but dent want it to be
premature and to finally come up against
a correction line," as the surveyors
would say. So they waited and while
they procrastinated the yeast of their
enthusiasm became a manifest des-
tiny" all in itself. Finally small boy
who had heard that some ''diddings"
were to be did when assuranane became
doubly assured, set a newspaper on fire
in the street-an then! well, what
happened willne be fully chronicled-
it happened every where at once and at
all time until the longer hours Of the
night shortened and the short ones
heightened and the milky way last its
distinction in the afternoon of the
night.
Thus did Reedstown demean herself
upon the occurrence that seldom occurs
In Rusk county, that an Office is filled
otherwise than by the old machine.
It is said that everything combustible
or 'bustible" in the town became part
and particle of the bonfres that illum-
mated the town. And the drinkables,
but that is another story.
Nor was Bruce alone in the jubilee,
the whole cotntry joined and they say
that the seer and sage Of Murry was
the advance agent Of enthusiasm.
