ECONOMICAL CLEARING
WORK OF STEAM STUMP PULL
Err IN TOWN OF GROW
COSTS LESS THAN SIS PER ACRE
Stock Company's Machine Pulls Sew
eral Stumps at Each Haul
Three Acres Per Day

A group of progressive farmers in
the Town of Grow have found a solution
of the stump problem, which, if not
perfect, is at least a great advance
over the ordinary methods. Last fall
they organized corporation, the
stockholders being ]. J. Schneiders,
Frank Rada, A. Van den Heuval, Joe
Dvorak, George Wander Loup, John
Wander Loup, John Strop and Mike
Beibel, and purchased the stump puller
formerly operated by the Ben F. Faast
Land Co. at Conrath. The experience
at Conrath had demonstrated some
weak points, which were remedied on
the purchase by the corporation. One
great improvement was the installation
of new type of drum, giving immense
ly increased power.
The machine consists essentially of
an engine, huge drums for operating
the heavy steel cables, and large der
rick for piling With the newly in
stalled drum ATS horse power is devel-
oped, more than sufficient to pull any
stump to be met with. A II inch steel
pulling cable is used, a lighter cable
being used to return the pulling
cable from the engine to the
field. In the old-style machines horse
was used to return the cable to the
field, but this machine does the work
in far less time, besides saving the ex-
pense of man and horse.
From three to five stumps are COM
monty pulled at one hauling in of the
cable. The branch cables used for
attaching to the stumps, "chokers," ("
as they are called, are so arranged that
only stump is pulled from the ground
at time. AS soon as the farthest
stump is loose the choker on the next
begins to tighten, and so on. This
saves much time, as the machine can
as easily haul in half dozen stumps
as one.
A great advantage of the machine is
the fact that the stumps are put in
large piles, leaving the ground free
for cultivation at once, before the
stumps are dried sufficiently to burn.
The pulling cable used is 600 feet long,
enabling the clearing of over 20 acres
at a setting if desired. At Frank
Rada's farm the stumps from nine
ooroc yuoro mt in ono Milo
1t requires the labor of seven men
and team to operate the machine to
best advantage, the team being en-
ployed simply to haul water, coal and
any other supplies that may be needed.
About half ton of soft coal is used
per day.
For the use of the machine, including
supply of coal, and the services of the
foreman and engineer, the corporation
charges $40 per day. The wages of the
five men and team, at $1.75 per day,
amounts to $1,000, making the total
cost to the farmer $50. SO per day. On
Frank Rada's farm 18 acres were
stumped in AZ days, or at an average
cost of So. 40 per acre. On A. Vanden-
Heuval's farm six acres of very
stumpy land, running over Is stumps
per acre, were stumped in less than
three days, or at cost of something
less than SIS per acre. The members
of the corporation believe that with
experience in operating, the cost per
acre can be reduced. -

SPRINKLE WITH OIL
METHOD FOLLOWED BY MANY
PROGRESSIVE CITIES
FIRST COST ONLY S28 PER BLOCK
Oiled Streets Have Been Found More
Economical and Satisfactory Than
Sprinkling With Water

The matter of oiling the streets in
stead of sprinkling with water, which
we mentioned last week, has interested
and elected favorable comment from a
number of our citizens. Experience in
many places has shown this method to
be cheaper in the long run, and far
preferable in results to sprinkling.
The first years cost is greater than
sprinkling, but as the effect of the oil
is to produce a compact, cohesive and
impervious surface, smaller amounts
are sufficient for succeeding years.
A representative of the Standard Oil
Co., seeing our article of last week and
noting that Ladysmith is awake to the
desirability of modern methods, visited
the city and gave some estimates of
cost. BY purchasing in carload lots,
the cost of oil for the first years ap-
plication would be approximately $2S
per block. 1t can be applied by means
of the street sprinkler at small cost.
A carload of oil is sufficient for eight
or nine blocks,
While it is perhaps too late to adopt
the oil method this season, it is certain
ly worth while to investigate the mat.
ter thoroughly, and ifofound satisfac-
tory, to prepare the streets of the busi
ness section for application next year.

He WILL NOT WORK.
Charles Phelps Must Teu Court Why
He NegIects Wife.

Charles Phelps, a bill poster, must
explain to the court why he compels
his wife to do all the work. For three
months, Mrs. Phelps charges. her hus-
band has not contributed a nickel to-
ward the support of herself and seven
months old baby. Further. the wife
complains that her husband refuses to
work.
Last winter Phelps was employed by
the Crawford theatrical interests as a
bill poster. Sometimes Phelps was
permitted to officiate as an usher at
the Grand. In this capacity he saw
the big shows which came to town.
But Mrs. Phelps says she has not the
least idea as to how a big show is
staged.
Somehow Phelps began to lag in his
capacity as a bill poster and one cold,
cherries day he lost his job. Perhaps
that took all the ambition out of
Phelps. Since the day his pay at the
Grand was stopped he has done moth
ing.
Then Phelps transferred his family
to the home of his mother at sos To-
peka avenue. Here the elder Mrs.
Phelps takes in washing. Charley
proceeded to educate his wife as to the
fine points of a perfectly competent
washerwoman. Now Phelps reports
regularly for his meals and Mrs.
Phelps struggles over tub of boiling
suds in an effort to support herself
and baby and feed the unemployed
husband.

and see if 1 had to keep this up all

ant in the county attorneys office,
land if there is any relief I would like
to get the advantage of it,
It was not for Mrs. Phelps to com
plain. If the law said she should earn
the living, all right. Brit Mrs Phelps
just wanted to know. 1t required SOM
three minutes for an assistant to ad-
wise her to go on a stake. Further
than this, a warrant YVES issued for
Phelps arrest and Judge Schoch will
investigate the young husbands case
of protracted spring fever.

WILBUR Is IRRITATED.
Spectacular French Aviators Are Not
Helping Solve Practical Problems.

New York. Aug 1O.-Wilbur
Wright's latest tour of Europe has in
creased his disgust at the daredevil
tactics of the European aviators.
1.-THE sensational flights are really
hurting the art he declared on his
arrival here. They do not work to-
ward maintaining a healthy interest in
aeronautics, or help in practical de-
velopment of the machines.
Take the recent inter national cir
cult aviation race for example. That
was in no sense a test of what the ma
chimes or the pilots could do. It was
merely reckless sporting event, in
which the men bet their lives against a
certain amount of money. It was
gamble against death. Beaumont, the
winner, narrowly escaped being killed.
His motor stopped at one time when
he was in position where he could
not have landed without counting al
most sure death. By some freak his
motor started when he vas within a
few feet of the ground end saved him
from being dashed to pieces. He might
have had a funeral irstead of the
$4,000 prize.
This is the sort of thing to be dis
couraged. Such sensational events are
exploited to the detrirnen of the art.
What the average man-not the dare
devil or the simpleton-can do with
an aeroplane is the problem we are
concerned with -
