convenient for running corn shell
lers, feed grinders, etc.
1t has required no undue
amount of skill and labor as well
as money to perfect such ma
chine as this and Mr.. Steinber-
ger is to be congratulated on his
success, and he has proven that
he has more than ordinary
genius as mechanic. We
hope that he can see his
way clear to erect good
factory and equip it with modern
machinery for their manufac-
ture in large numbers. Mr..
Steinberger says he will be able
to place them on the market at
from 5000 to $500 each according
to the size of the engine, several
parties are anxious for machines
as soon as he can complete them.
From an economical point the
advantages for this engine are
very marked in comparison with
the large steam pillow outfits, to
run those it it requires four men
and two teams, requiring an ex-
pense of about $15 per day to
run, while this machine requires
only one man and about twelve
gallons of gasoline per day.
All adjustments on this engine
are of the simplest form and
wherever possible are of the
kind a farmer is used to hand
ling. The entire weight of the
machine is 5000 pounds.

A NEW INVENTION.
Just the Thing for Western
Kansas Farmers.

Last Wednesday afternoon @.
Steinberger invited a number of
farmers and a few from town to
witness the blowing test by his
new gasoline engine manufacture
ed by him on the prairie of west
ern Kansas. The party assem-
bled in the shop where this ma
chine was made and every one
present wondered how he could
build such an engine in so small
a shop but that was easily ex-
planned by @. A. Carlson who as
sisted Mr.. S. in building this
machine.
The first thing on the program
was a water melon and musk
melon feast and the melons were
the best of season grown on Mr..
SIS ranch.
After everybody had ate all
the melon they could hold they
went to the engine where they
had their pictures taken by
Artist Howe
The work of showing how this
engine operates is very easy.
Mr.. S. stepped to the front of
the engine, turned a crank SINH
lar to those on Ford auto and
the engine started Mr.. S. took
his seat, turned a lever and the
engine started pulling five disc
plows cutting any depth de-
sired. After several rounds
it was very plain to all that this
l., L
do it well.
Light refreshment were serv-
ed after which those present de-
parted for their respective homes
wishing the host all kinds. of
success with his new enterprise.
The following is a description
of the machine:
a heavy steel channel, suitably
bent to make the frame about 9
feet long and 1-2 feet wide, the
drive wheels have steel spokes
and rims, the latter being 20
inches wide and 46 inches high
and each weigh 1000 pounds, the
front wheels are 9 inches wide
and 26 inches high.
Well to the front of the frame
is mounted a two-cylinder op-
posed gasoline motor of sufficient
power to draw 6 disc plows cut
ting 60 inches wide. The ma
chine is started as easily as an
automobile and by a complete
system of levers is at all times
under perfect control, moving
either forward or backward by
simply shifting lever, and will
travel from two to four miles an
hour. The engine is arranged

The COPPER WAR
Motion 10 Vacale Brougt Before
The U. S. District Court.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan 25.-An-
other chapter in the complicated legal
affairs of the contendng copper min
ing companies of the upper peninsula
of Michigan, was written yesterday
when the United States district court
here was asked to vacate the order for
preliminary injunction heretofore
made and to dissolve tile preliminary
injunction which had already been
granted restraining the Calumet II
Hecla Mining company from chang
ing or altering the management.
The Oscela Mining company, it is
but has materially changed the status
of affairs which prevailed at the time
the order of the court was granted in
Osceola's favor October /, 1907. Cur
tailment Of the Osceola product, to
the great injury of the stockholders
of the company, simultaneously with
a similar curtailment on the part of
the Amalgamated Copper company, in
accordance with an agreement said to
exist between the two companies, is
the basis of the present action.
Calumet & Hecla recently acquired
considerable Osceola stock, but was
las tsummer enjoined from voting it
until final decision had been made on
the contention of the Bigelow man
agement of the Osceola that Calumet
& Hecla was aiming to absorb Os-
ceola and monopoliZe the Michigan
copper region.
