NEW STUMP FULLER WILL
 REDUCE COST OF CLEARING.

SEATTLE, Jan. 17.-A new stump pulling device, by which the cost of clearing land can be greatly reduced, has been invented by F. K. Kristen, assistant professor in the electrical engineering department of the Univer. sity of Washington.
 The new stump puller is stationary and has this advantage over older machines: Ten acres can be cleared without moving the new puller. The machine consists of a bell shaped drum, a long cable and long steel arm. A stump is shaved down until 1t will allow the drum of the machine to fit over it. This is used as an anchor from which the cable Is at.
