DOWER wagon manufacturers
have awaiting them in the coal.
ice and allied businesses a mar
ket of $24O.OOO,OOO in motor trucks.
That is the sum of money these trade
interests may confidently be expected
TO invest In motor equipment during
the next ten years.
Up to date, only 1.6 per cent. or
approximately ne-sixtieth. of this
market has already been sold. But
during the last year the placing Of
orders for many thousands of dollars
worth of motor equipment by the
most important coal dealers in the
country presages a wonderful inn
petus in the purchase Of power wag-
ons by coal companies and their al
lied trade interests.
Only recently the Atlantic Coal ana
Ice Corporation. Of Atlanta. Ga.
placed an order for fifteen 5-ton mo-
tor trucks. The City Fuel Company
Of Chicago ordered % 5-ton machines
last April, thereby replacing $50 husky
horses at one fell swoop. ana present
plans call for large additions to this
motor installation at an early date.

Y, after trying out two 5-ton motor
trucks for some months. recently in
stalled fifteen more Of the same make
and capacity The Burns Brothers
Coal Company, of New York City, has
a fleet Of 43 power wagons of the big
gest average load-carrying capacity
of any motor truck installation in the
world. And 50 short a time ago as
last April the Burns equipment com
prised only seventeen machines, the
balance of &c having been acquired
during the past ten months by the
purchase Of eighteen trucks and the
absorption Of another concentrating
eight motor vehicles in its employ,
As far as can be definitely asca--
tanned, there are at present i'm the
United States 4l9 coal dealers (and
concerns using specially designed coal
trucks who employ power wagons
for delivery purposes. These 40
companies own and operate a total of
701 machines, valued at S3,150,0OO.
The high value assigned 10 this
equipment is occasioned by the fact
that the load capacities of these ma
chimes are unusually high, and also
because many of the machines are
equipped with specially designed me-
chanicaI dump bodies for CELEBRITY in
unloading.

Ingenious makeshifts. quite eco
nOmical in their way, have been de-
vised to increase the economy of old
standing equipment at the yards,
without going to the expense of in
stalling new machinery. One device
of this class was recently invented by
A. Z. Lee. Of Chicago, for facilitating
the loading of power wagons from
freight cars. II is extremely simple
and Inexpensive, but it does away
with the labor of several men. SO it
viii be seen that often it is not nee
essary or even advisable to put a
lot of money into extra mechanical
handling equipment to get the maxi
mum performance out of ones mo-
tor trucks.

youth and in 1874 went to Illinois,
taking up occupations of teaching
and clerking.
He established q business for him-
self at Peoria, Illinois, Z few years
later, conducting a grain and grocery
business for several years, after
which he returned to Vermont and
studied law. In 1849 he came to
Minnesota and went into the suffers
department as clerk at Fort Shell
ing, remaining there until 1858. He
was member of the territorial leg
islature during the second, third and
fourth sessions.
In 1853 he was appointed sutler
and postmaster at Fort Ridgely and
was the one to give the first alarm
of the Indian attack of the outbreak
of 1862. He was one of the surviv-
ing defenders Of Fort Ridgely; dur
ing the outbreak his store and ware
house were destroyed by the Indians.
He remained at Fort Ridgely and
served as postmaster and sutler until
that post was abolished, in 1868.
In 1854 he was united in marriage
to Miss M. Lange, daughter of F. E.
Lange, and at one time mayor of St.
SVCAs NA1. AS0uOS1l1 0Iu 1dullly LION-
ed to St. Peter in 1868 and there he
engaged in the manufacture of boots
and shoes, and at one time employed
twenty-five in his establishment; fol-
lowing this business for five years.
From 1874 until 1879 he led a re-
tired life.
During the latter years he again
engaged in the grocery business.
During his residence at St. Peter he
held the Offices of mayor one term,
president of the school board six
years, county superintendent Of
schools and many minor offices. His
wife passed away some years ago,
and since that time and until his
death he made his home with his
various children. He is survived by
his sons Frank L. Randall, now chair
man of the Massachusetts, prison
commission; Richard A. Randall, city
attorney of Winona; DR.. Ben Randall
of Graceville and William E. Randall,
at one time a teacher in our public
schools, now Catholic priest, and
Mrs. Roy Foster of Chicago.
Major Randall was present at the
fiftieth anniversary of the battle of
Fort Ridgely which took place at the
old historic spot south of Fairfax on
August 22nd, and 23rd, 1912.
In the passing away of Major
Randall, Minnesota loses one of it's
earliest pioneers and state builders;
a man who had much to do with the
upbuilding of this section of the state
in particular.
Major Randall's funeral was held
from the pro-cathedral at Winona at
9 o'clock last Friday morning. The
services were conducted by Rev. Fa-
ther w. E. F. Griffin. A large num-

Local Product Finds Ready
Market in Many Cities
of Northwest.

For the first time in the history Of
New Ulm we have attained the proud
distinction of shipping home grown
apples to other points. This years
apple crop was bountiful one, the
largest that has ever been raised
here. AS matter of fact there were
so many apples that they were .
veritable drug on the market. There
seemed to be so little demand for
them that the most of the apple
growers had about decided to either
let them rot on the ground or to feed
them to the hogs.
To relieve this unsatisfactory cOn-
dition somewhat, William Pfaender,
Jr., Of the Pioneer Nursery, suggest
ed converting the apples into apple
cider and for days his cider press was
kept busy pressing apples that were
brought to him. This however, did
not entirely relieve the situation.
There were still hundreds Of barrels
of the choicest apples that were
doomed to rot on the ground, unless
a market was found for them.
1t was at this stage Of the game
that the ever enterprising firm Of
Crone Bros. started to get busy.
They found upon inquiring that
there were quite number Of places
west Of New Ulm that either had no
apples at all or only mediocre crops.
This induced them to go into the
wholesale apple buying business and
for the past two weeks they purchase
ed almost q thousand barrels, mostly
of the Wealthy, Greening and Itasca
varieties. In some instances they
picked the apples themselves and
brought them to town. From one
orchard in Nicollet county near
Fairfax their men handpicked 60 bar
rels. alone. From the orchard Of
John Globes, ST., in Lafayette town
ship, they expect to get 100 barrels
in all, The most of the apples, how
ever, were brought in by the farmers
themselves and delivered in the
Crone refrigerator where four men
have been kept busy for over two
weeks asserting and packing them I'm
barrels which were secured from the
Eagle Roller Mill company.
A large number Of apples were
shipped locally to points west OF
Tracy. The first carload lot of 16O
barrels went out Friday with large
town in South Dakota as its point Of
destination. 1t is tie intention to ship
at least two cars more to ti.c same
place and the balance will be ship
ped by local freight. The local firm
is still ready and willing to take the
surplus off the hands of the local
growers, but they have use only for
hand-picked apples.
It is commendable on the part Of
Crone Bros. that they took the ini-
tiative in finding a market for our
big apple yield. This establishes g
precedent. 1t has been demonstrated
without question that there is mar
ket for the Minnesota grown apples
and this in itself should prove an
incentive to continue raising apples
and increasing the size Of the or
chards. This much is certain that
for flavor and general appearance
our apple has no equal, and some of
the varieties grown here cannot be
anywhere as choice eat
ing and baking apple.

practically every ssason for the past
fifteen years. AS late 30 last July the
boiler vas inspected And pronounced
to be In good and serviceabls con.
dition bv the district boiler inspector,
90 that the owners are at loss to
account for ths sudden bursting OF the
large stsam container.
sAt the time OF the terrible accident
the crew vasthrsshing In the Trsbisch
bsrnyard and two stacks of grain had
alresdy been run through the machine.
Arnold Ryan, the engineer IN charge,
was pulling the OUTFIT between the re-
naming setting Of two stacks, when
the explosion occurred. Tho other
members Of the crew, % we'll % Mr..
Trebisch and others we're standing
near the engine whom the boiler blew
up and their escapes from instant
death is considered nothing less than
Q miracle.
The force of the explosion wss 80
great that the huge boiler wss hurled
over the house and grove and landed
about forty yards away from the spot
where it had stood just prior TO the
blow-up. The ruins of the boiler
little resembled their former shape and
1t 10 inconoeiv able how the heavy steel
shs1ting could be wrecked in such .
manner.
Engineer Rysn's escape appears to
,be tho most miraculous, for in spite of
the fact that he Was stationed at the
throttle, his injuries are not Of .
serious nature. Tho owner Of the
farm and Kurt Nelson, member of
the threshing crew, we're holding onto
tho drive belt when the explosion
occurred but neither was injured
slthough both were hurled sgainst
the grain stacks with considerable
force as result OF the terrible con-
cussion. Another miraculous escape
was that Of George slatzen, the tanker,
who was placing wooden blocks under
the big drive wheels Of the engine o.
the time. He also Was anhurt. The
six injured persons are: Herman
Rosenau, . young man from Wabssso
whose Jaw was broken by . flying

from the head. He also sustained
severe SCALP wounds. 90 that his con-
dition 10 said to be serious. Charles
Weudt was frightiully scslded by the
escaping steam aud his injuries were
20 serious that he was taken to st.
Johns hospital At Springfield for
treatment. Carl Peterson had his face
badly scslded BY steam, while Henry
Rosenau's shoulder was more or less
severely injured; Otto Fimeyer, the
four.year.old son of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Fimeyer of this city,
received severe scslds about the face,
head and feet, while his brother,
Armand, had his eyes scalded and
also sustained injuries about the face.

we're SUNNI oned to the scene of the
accident by telephone and temporarily
relieved the injured persons before
having them taken to Spring gfeld
where their hurts were more carefully
treated. It is stated that the ex-
plosion and the causes leading up to
the same will be carefully looked into
and investi ated by the state boiler
department for the purpose
of placing the blame where it belongs.
