Moving Ice Rips Both Ends
of Commercial Dock
Ice Piles up Fifteen Feet
High Along the Shore
Above City.

The Commercial Dock was
quite badly damaged this morn
ing by the moving ice. The big
ice flow, miles square, struck
the dock with terrific force and
the dock was unable to with
stand the pressure of thousands
of tons of ice and big timbers
were smashed off like matches.
The east end Of the dock was
torn up and tim bers and planks
piled eight feet high. The west
end of the dock was also dam
aged to some extent, the ice
piling under that corner and
lifting the dock nearly five feet.
Along the shore above the
pumping station it was most
beautiful sight. The ice began
jaming along the shore and piled
up from ten to fifteen feet high,
extending out into the water a
distance of about a half mile.
The wind, which was blowing
gale, moved the ice rapidly and
it was notlong until it had moved
out into the open lake. A large
number of citizens spent the
morning at the docks watching
the moving ice:

Stump Pulling Contests

A series of land clearing contests
will be held in northern Wisconsin
during the week beginning May 20.
The choice of locations tor these
contests will be left to the members
and secretary of state board of i'm
migration. but it is generally under
stood that the northern portion of
the state will be divided into three
divisions-the western, central and
eastern, thus making it possible for
more people to view the machines
in operation and to determine the
comparative utility of the various
types of pullers when working und-
err different conditions. While no
official announcement of contest
sites has been made it is quite prob
able that the board will select a
tract near Ladysmith, in Rusk
county, as a representative of the
western division: another near Wau-
sau, in Marathon county, for the
central, and one near Wausaukee,
in Marinette county, for the eastern
section.
AS vet the details of the contest
have not been worked out, but a
committee consisting of Dean Rus.

Of farmers institute; P. A. Marti-
neau; J. Barber and f. G.. Owen.
representing the Wisconsin Ad-
vancment Association, and w. Fl.
Killen. land commissioner of the 500
railroad. has charge of the arrange
ments and will soon make public
announcements of their plans.
The committee has quite definite
ly decided to offer cash premiums of
$500, 5000 and $3.50 to the three
different classes of stump pullers,
respectively. Glass A will include
large and high powered, steam and
gasoline machil es, and class B will
be machines operated with traction
engines or with their own steam or
gasoline power. All pullers eligible
to competition in this class must re-
tail at not to exceed $1,000, exclu-
sive of the traction engine supply
ing power. Glass G will include
machines operated by hand or horse
power.
The judges of the contest, who
will be chosen by the officers of the
state board of immigration and the
state advancement association, will
be instructed to score the high
powered machines upon the follow
ing points; First, rapid and effec-
tive work in clearing land, which
shall mean pnlling, hauling, or other
methods as effective, of AL stumps,
down timber, slashings, and debris
On the land; second the movability
OF the machine from place to place;
third, cost of operations in clear
ing land, which shall average less
per acre than present known
me thods of blasting, handwork and
the use of horse and handwork ma
chimes; fourth, the device of con-
struction of machines for the dura-
bility, and fifth, cost or selling price
of machine. The hand or horse
power pullers will be tested upon
the following points. First, stump
pulling device; second, hauling de-
vice; third, piIing device or the
combination of the hauling and pill
ing devices, and fourth, rapid and
effective work in clearing lands, in
Guiding cost of doing same.
