Ell Centro Ships First
Crate Of Grapes in US.

producer of the first crate of
grapes Mr.. Balance is entitled to
all they bring, and a check will
be sent to cover the amount.
The valley is very much inter-
.ested in this news, for of late
years the grapes grown In the
valley have not been marketed
with the utmost success, due to
their not keeping well in transit,
and yet the belief continues that
the grape industry has great fu-
ture here.
This particular variety Of grape
seems to find its ideal home here,
and it is hoped that its shipping
qualities will make it a popular
favorite.
Having the grape market of the
entire country to itself for a
whole month, this valley should
find great asset in the industry.

FL Centro has the honor this
year of shipping the first crate Of
grapes grown in the United States
and the crate was sold in Chicago
for SIS, or SIPS a pound.
These grapes were grown by
Charles Balance and were the Per-
sian 20 variety, grape which the
Press has been urging on the
farmers for two years, the pub
Usher of the Press having intro
duced the first cuttings.
Mr.. Balance took a fancy to the
variety and has planted them ex-
tensiveIy, with the result that he
gets the banner this year.
The grapes were sent to Fried
helm & Co. of Chicago as a gift
by Mr.. Balance through c. L. Hall,
the company's representative here,
but the firm refused to accept the
gift, wiring Mr.. Hall that as the

lined up as bunk houses, dining room
and kitchen and storage rooms. The
steel gang consists of from thirty to
sixty men, varying with the work on
hand.
Robert Sherer & Co.'S present con-
tract will extend the grading to a
pO'nt about three miles beyond Dupee,
or within t215 miles of the inter
national boundary line. Campo is about
5l4 miles beyond the point where
the road crosses in American territory,

The 10 ton steam shovel which last
Monday finished up a big cut this side
of nupee, has been moved up to an
other cut about a quarter Of a mile
beyond Dupee. A quarter Of a mile
farther east another 70-ton steam
shovel is eating its way through a
solid granite hill, making a cut about
seventy five feet in depth.
Large quantities Of dynamite and
powder are used to break I'D the har1
granite, the drillers and powder men
keeping in advance of the shovel.
The gravel and rock is loaded on to
dump cars operated by dinky engines
over narrow gauge temporary tracks
which are torn up and relaid in new
places as the work progresses. The
material removed from the cuts is used
to make deep fills across canyons and
crevices in the mountains. Altogether
there are four trains Of dump cars
and SIX dinky engines, being divided
equally between the two shovels.
Trains. consisting Of seven or eight
cars. are loaded every five or six min
utes by each shovel, and in this way
a tremendous amount Of yardage is
removed during a ten-hour day.
From Vale Redondo to the present
scene Of operations the road passes
through a rugged country, with noun
talns of granite towering on all sides.
The steepest grade on the road lies
between Vale RedondO and Dupee. but
It's maximum pitch is only IA per
cent. which is low grade To main
tain this gradual rise called for good
engineering work and expensive grad

feet deep was made through solid blue
granite, the hardest kind. which re
quired heavy blasting charges to even

twenty-five to ninety feet in depth.

have been made on this section.
In addition to the steam shovels and
dump trains, the contractors at the
west end are working about 100 head

also is the railroad company's crew

bench Lindor's absence greatly
weakened the defense of the Duluth
seven.
Linder presented different line up
from the one he used in the first game
1nd the combination worked TO great
or advantage. Barkell went back to
his old position at center. Olson NOV
ed over 10 rover and Grenner played
on risht wing. Mahan remained on
left wing
The team work of the Portage Lakes
was superior to that Of the Duluth
secan and this accounted in large
measure for their victory Sicotte
showed great speed and frequently
came from behind and took the puck
from The Duluth forwards. Sicotte and
ioagn starred for the Houghton sew
On, the latter doing some great work
on the defense.
The Portage Lake team had refus-
el 10 20 on the ice with Kehl as judge
of play and the situation was COM
promised by allowing Dietz to referee
the entire game. which he did to the
satisfaction Of the crowd and of both
sides
The first score came IN two minutes

Lake team came back and rushed

A series OF 54 short articles
full OF valuable information
on truck gardening, poultry
and fruit raising and kindred
subjects of interest to the city
man, Suburbanite or farmer,
will shortly begin in The
News.
AS the title Of this series indi-
Gates, these articles are in
tended primarily for the city
man or rural resident with
spacious yard who wants
to plant a garden or wishes
to raise chickens. The au-
thor is an authority on agri-

Especial study Of gardening.
Here are some Of the subjects
treated:
Care and Keep of the Garden
What to Plant and When
How to Raise Chickens
on a Small Plot
Best Vegetables for the Garden
When and How to Plant Flowers
How to Make a Good Lawn

producing stock and stock products
can be greatly lowered. Experiments
have shown that by the use of the sllo
ia place of the old feeding methods,
butter can be produced from nine to
ten cents per pound cheaper and
saving made on the production OF
beef from 81. so to 50 per 100 pounds.
AS the largest part of our food comes
from live stock it is plain to see the
relation OF the silo to our national
food supply.

kinds of farm forage and is good

Live Stock
THE SHO A NATIONAL FACTOR.

The leading agricultural subject of
the day is the silo, and it's coming is
of national Importance. No subject
is receiving so much attention from
the Experiment Stations, farm papers
and farmers institutes. ALI the great
industries depending on live stock,
such as the stock yards, creameries,
packing houses and transportation
companies are advocating it's use. 1t
is a conservation subject of great i'm
portance. for wi tn it can be saved
large part of our principle crop.
Nearly forty per cent of the food ele-
ments of the corn crop of this country
are now wasted. By the use of the
silo this could be saved and by SO
doing. hundreds of millions of dollars
could be added to our national wealth.
The corn forage which annually goes
TO waste in this country is often re-
ferred to as the "Billion Dollar
Waste" Is it any wonder we are
complaining of the high cost of
living?
In the past eleven years the great
stock Industry of the United States in
comparison with our population, has
been showing a decline. This condi-
ton has been largely brought about
by the rise in price of all kinds OF
stock foods, thereby making a smaller
profit to the producer. This in turn
has driven many men out of the stock
