The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-11-26

FHE tendency toward simplifying
all sorts of farm implements has
had its effect in stump pullers as
well as in many other lines, and the
newest and most satisfactory puller
is a little hand machine that weighs
only I'll pounds and, properly
rugged, boasts more pulling power
than any horse machine yet devised.
This is the tx" hand power stump
puller, introduced into the United
States by Walter ]. Fitzpatrick, 1925
Second avenue, Seattle. While it has
been before the public only a brief
period, it now is in use in virtually
every state in the Union, in Alaska,
and in Cuba and other islands Of
the West Indies.
This TX" machine operates with
a pawl and rachel, and with two
blocks Is capable of pulling AZ tons
on a straight line. 1t has such power,
in fact, as to break an inch steel
cable. if the stump refuses to come.
Yet it is SO simple in operation that
even a woman can operate it, and
can outpull six large horses In a
straight line. The machine operates
like rowing a boat. 1t has wheels
that make 1t easy to move from
place to place, and it can be turned
to many valuable uses around a
farm, as it is good for all sorts of
pulling and hauling.
The counties of Kitsap, Island,
Pierce, Skagit and Skamania, in the
State Of Washington, are using the
tx" hand power puller for the heavy
road clearing work In. place of the
donkey engine and horse power
stump puller. The commissioners of
these counties found that three men
to operate the horse power machine
and the two horses necessary were
too expensive. They also found that
to get the horse power machines into
position and to get a cleared space
ready to work them took too much
time. They found that the *" hand
power machine would work on land
where you could not work a horse
machine, and that 1t had more power
and could clear land for half the
cost. as n man could do all the
work. eve moving the machine q
mile or two himself.

Gets Back Property
SCheming Denver Woman Fails IN
Holding Property Apparently
Secured BY Fraud.

A decree annulling the marriage and
setting aside deed of Pleasant Grove
property was given this week in the
case of George Thorne against Emma
Thorne, on the ground of alleged
fraudulent presentations on the part of
The parties were married
In Provo January 10. 1871, after be-
coming acquainted through matri-
monial advertisement. The decd was
given the same day, and Il day or two
later defendant left for her former
home in Denver. and has since refused
to return to her husband.
The Pleasant Grove friends of Mr..
Thorne will congratulate him on this
happy termination of his last matri-
monial venture. IL Is evident that
Mrs. Thorne's object In contracting
the marriage was TO secure Mr..
Thorne's property. The result is that
all she gets out of II is free trip to
Utah and return to Denver. After re-
turning TO Denver she wrote for money
for ticket back to Pleasant Grove,
but Mr.. Thorne was wise enough this
time to telegraph a ticket instead Of
the money. The ticket was returned
to him

May Cut Timber on Public Lands
Captain q. T.. Hair OF 4. y. Land
Office Explains Restrictions.

That the regulations governing cut

not generally understood by settlers
is the opinion of Captain g. u. Hair,

tie timber for private use would cost
money and many Others think the
regulations require so much red Tape
that the trouble Is more than the tim
Der would be worth. In explaining
the regulations last week, Captain
Hair said

titled to take timber from public
lands for his own use, for agricul-
