Born in Pennsylvania, His Early
Life Was That of Farmer
and Miner.

To rise up from a penniless farm
boy with grit and ambition as his only
asset and to plant his name in the
minds of a nation as synonym of
gas traction engines, as the name of
John d. Rockefeller is linked with
Standard Oil, golf and dyspepsia,
within the space of a comparatively
few years, is the enviable achieve
ment accomplished by Mr.. Patrick j.
Lyons, president of the Gas Traction
Co., University avenue, Minneapolis.
Born of Irish parents on a farm in
wesohester, Penn, he received a COM
mon school education and started early
in life to do the average mans work
when but small boy, but tales of the
wonderful fortunes to be made in the
gold mines aroused his ambition until
one day he was missing from the farm,
his wealth at the time consisting Of IS
cents and an old grip. Pullman trans
portation was out of the question, but
he finally landed in the much desired
haven-the Leadville gold fields.

fiend reduced hotel and houses, and
owing to his managers laXity in pay
ing insurance, which was overdue, he
once again found himself with less
spirit and u few years later he
launched out in business with varying
success. In the early SOS Mr.. Lyons
removed to Dakota territory and soon
became identified with the struggle for
statehood for North Dakota and the
development of it's best resources and
was prominent in state affairs. He
never sought political Office, but al
ways commanded position with the
party who would determine the fitness
for an aspirant for office. The follow
ing positions We're creditably held by
Mr.. Lyons: Served under U. S. Mar
shall Marratta as deputy for four
years; county judge of kidder county
six years; one term in the legislature,
state of North Dakota. and colonel on
Governor r. Y. Sarles' staff. He took
a leading part in securing settlers for
the settlement and development of the
vast territory in North Dakota cast of
the Missouri river, called slope
Country" Mr.. Lyons owned and oper-
ated one of the most successful farms
on the Missouri slope for a number OF
years, demonstrating for the govern
ment that slope Country was very
fertile and practical as an agricultural
area. A few years ago MIR. Lyons
lished the Gas Traction Co, real
zing the necessity for an improve
ment in agricultural machinery, the
oldfashioned methods appealing to
him as slow and expensive. Various
ments had been put on the market,
but there was room, as in all inven-
tons, for vast Improvement and he
set himself the task of perfectng the
almost worthless junk that farmers
were buying as labor and money-sav-
ing devices. The now obsolete engines
made in those days We're cumbersome,
heavy and impracticable on stubble
land, the farmer in many instances
having to use the horses he hoped to
discard to drag the machines out Of
soft ground in which they had sunk.

ons has wrought in the agricultural
world with his now famous gas trac-
ton machine. Several successful
North Dakotans accompanied him to
assist with the development of the Gas
Traction Power Engine for general
farm use, the engines being made by
expert workmen, and the farmers of the
Northwest are now convinced that fully
so per cent of the expenditure attend
ant In the operation of a farm with
horse power is saved with these ma
chimes. Like all new devices it
was subjected to considerable criti-
cism and opposition from various COM
petitors then on the market, but after
a hard fight the inevitable reward
came and at present the demand can
hardly be supplied, day and night
gangs working all year round at the
factory on the interurban line between
Minneapolis and st. Paul at Twen-
ty-eighth street southeast and
this year an extension of the factory
and a new foundry is necessary. Mr..

affluence dating from the time they
installed a Gas Traction machine.
The possibilities of this device are
unlimited and has to be gone into in
detail to be thoroughly srasped.
This wonderful device is rapidly
turning over the prairie lands of the
Dakotas and Montana, each machine
breaking from 20 to 80 acres of sod a
day at cost of so cents per acre. In
operating the cultivated farm it plows
easily fifty acres a day at a cost of
25c per acre. 1t can harvest Il crop

as it is easily attached to any make of

with half the help necessary to operate
a steam thresher, threshing the same
amount a day and eliminating entirely

grain to the elevators. The reduction

the farm a desirable vocation and af-
| fording the farmer an opportunity to
realize competency within a period
of four or five years with energetic ap
plication of this method, instead of
drudgcry as was experienced by his
father and grandfather. This machine
has never required solicitation for sales
purposes, the farmers coming to the
factory and leaving their orders for flu
ture delivery, as it has been impos-
, the demand being SO heavy. For sup
plying the needs of Canadian farmers
a subsidiary company has been estab

tory in operation. and machines are

competent mechanics can be secured,
and at present they are swamped with
orders nearly year in advance of
their present capacity for manufacture.
Mr.. Lyons has demonstrated to the
Twin Cities what a progressive, ener-
getic man can do by intelligent appli-
cation to an enterprise-ts foundation,
