THE STUMP DESTROYER
New Process is Being Tried
By Several in This Section
Upon Sound Stumps.

Experimenting on removal Of
stumps by the newly discovered
Nolan process is gathering much
weight and many a sound stump
has been loaded with the prepa-
ration of equal parts of nitric and
sulphuric acids and but now
await the respiration of the thirty
day period which it takes to con-
sumo the stump.
On the island property of DR..
w. D. Neville a stump has been
charged with the preparation
and in about two weeks will be
ready for investigation.
In speaking of the working of
the formula upon stumps, the
Crandon Republican has the fol-
lowing to say regarding part
experiment by Frank Blandin:
Frank Blandin, who recently
became possessed with a desire
to become a fullfedged farmer is
busy experimenting removing
stumps from some of his land by
the new process which was given
a short time ago. Mr.. Blandin's
curiosity got the best of him and
after only four days of waiting
to see what the fluid which he
had sealed u in the stump
{ (which by the way is equal parts
of nitric and sulphuric acids was
doing, opened up one of them
and found that the fluid had
burned the inside of the stump to
a charred mass. He is very much
pleased so far With the results"
In using this process it is said
a sound stump must be loaded IN
order to be a success

FOREST FIRES PUT OUT
Forty-eight Days Dry Spell
Broken by Nineteen Hour
Fall of Rain--Close Call for
Eagle River.

A steady downpour of rain for
nineteen hours put an end to a
forty-eight days drouth in this
section and likewise eliminated
the forest fires near this city.
AT one time Saturday after
noon a fire which came from Mud
creek, about two miles south OF
Eagle River, threatened to do
great damage to the village, and
might have done ohad the wind
not changed and the rain begin
falling. AS it was it took strenu-
Gus work to save the residence
of James Shelf situated at the
south end of Railroad street, and
also keep particles of burning
wood from setting FIRE to other
buildings. The smoke was so
dense that at times it was inn
possible to see a half dozen feet
and the nozzle men compelled to
dig holes in the ground in order
to get below the smoke line and
prevent suffocation. AS it was
several OF the 6remen were over
come.
From two to four O'Clock the
danger to buildings was immi-
nent, but at the latter hour the
fire was put out of commission
by heavy downpour of rain
which lasted all night Saturday
and Sunday forenoon.
A relief train was sent here in
the forenoon Saturday, and the
2:11 passenger from the south
was held here until 5 o'clock, or
until the danger had passed.
Where the fire jumped Mud
creek it burned the framework
of new barn, several tons of
hay, nineteen cords OF wood and
some household goods belonging
to Anton PetruszateS who lives
on the old Scheribei farm west OF
the railroad. The old and new
residence buildings were not
burned and had the household
goods been lett in the building
they would have been saved.
James ShefPs furniture was
badly damaged in removalhy the
overturning of a dray load.
The wind raised about ten
o'clock Saturday morning and
bv one O'Clock was blowing at a
terrific rate direct from the south
and with it came the Mud creek
FIRE which travelled rapidly along
the railroad right of way on the
west, ending in the swamp i'll the
rear of the Shelf property.
