The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1913-07-31

The boys of the fire room are kept busy
! repairing CRATES these days.
Warden and Mrs Wolfer were ST. Clond
visitors Saturday, making the trip by auto.
Mr.. Goodrich, president of the Twin
City Rapid Transit Company, was avistor
at the institution this week
Mr.. Crittenden, check man of the West
ern Railway Association, was business
visitor at the institution this week.
One of our star news gatherers tried to
convince us that the Chief became en-
gagged while away on his vacation, but we
don't believe it.
Mr.. Brock, managing editor of the Min
neapolis Tribune, in company with War
den Wolfer, paid the Mirror a pleasant
call Tuesday afternoon.
EXTRA! EXTRA! Old Dan Patch's
chauffeur has begged, bought or stole a
some happy; if horses ever are happy.
If you have not ordered your winter S
supply of potatoes, Capt. Brostrom is will
ing to receive your order. He says he has
FIVE acres in potatoes, providing you want
to count the acres straight down.
Ben Olson says we mustn't call his auto
''wagon. All right. But if all reports
are true, it must be twin brother
to one of those machines a farmer uses
so industriously in the spring and fall of the
year.
Do not miss out on chapel Sunday.
The choir, assisted by the Chaplain have
provided splendid program, and we are
sure it will be we'll rendered. Show the
boys, and the chaplain, that you appreci-
ate their efforts, and all turn out
A crew of men have been busy the past
week dismantling the old fire room. 1t will
only be matter of few days now until
all wooden structures used in the building
of this institution will be thing of the
past The fire room being the last one re-
naming.
Funny what mans looks will do. Last
running fine as silk, when one of the
guards stroled over and fastened his eagle
eye on the Irvine conveyor-s smash, bang!-
and the conveyor was at the bottom OF the
shaft all busted to smithereens.
Page four is practically filled with re-
print this week, owing to the fact that
there is great deal of surplus copy in
stock, and not having had time to look it
over, and seperate the good from the bad,
thought it would do just as well to use re-
print this time and find out just what was
pigonholed.
Commencing with the issue of August 7,
Pendennis will be allotted space of two
columns on page four. Pendennis' articles
are good and worthy of publication, and
so long as they continue so he can have the
space. Apache says he is going to stick
by the ship not alone for the editor s
sake, but for his own as well as The
Mirrors.
Ifthere is anything in a name, the new edit
or of the Prison Mirror should prove the right
man in the right(or wrongOplace- Gayhop-
pin.-Stillwater Gazette. Take it from me,
Mr.. Gazette Man, there is something in a
name; at least part of it-for we sure have
been hoppin' ever since we landed, al
though we have not found anything to
make us very Cay remember this is a
''dry' town.
The fire alarm was on the job one day
this week, and incidentally had the Deputy
Warden doing "hot foot for the fire.
No fire at all. One of Contractor Olson S
men was just getting little practical ex-
perience in regard to automatic sprinklers.
When you 60 to pesticating with some
thing you don't know anything about,
you re liable to start something, and, as in
this case, get good soaking.
The Irvine department believes in keep
ing Just wee bit ahead of the other fell
low. Superintendent Williams has a
Irvine tester in operation that is wonder,
three in one machine. In most machines
of this type it is only possible to put one
ball on at a time, test, then rewind
on a boboin The tester here puts a
ball on and takes the tested ball off at the
same time, besides having an automatic
counter to keep track of the feet to the
pound. Lost motion practi cally done
away with.
