Twelve cakes of ice are in motion

into the houses. The ice this year is
twenty four inches thick and each
cake according weighed about $50
pounds. Yesterday ice cut by the
crews was a full quarter of mile
up the river above the ice houses
The long channel was kept open how
ever and the ice floated down to the
endless chain without difficulty.
From these houses on the river
bank it is planned to haul the ice
supply by motor trucks into the city
and thus distribute it to consumers
A crew of thirty nine men is kept
busy constantly cutting ice, guiding
it into the open channel, down to the
endless chain and thence up into the
ice houses.

STACKER DENIED PAPERS
He Was Refused Citizenship
Certificate BY Judge C. E.
Dean of Fairmont

Elias Melhus, native of Norway,
applied for naturalization papers be-
fore Judge Dean at Jackson this week,
says The Fairmont Sentinel.
He didn't get them.
He never will be a citizen of the
United States.
Melhus left Norway because he
could make better living in the Uni
ted States. He didn't have to come
here. He came to better himself
When war was declared and the
country called for fighting men, Mel
hUs took advantage of the fact that
he wasn't a citizen to escape the
draft. To him, America wasn't worth
fighting for. In filling out his ques-
tionnaire he stated that he did not
intend to become a citizen and waiv-
ed all rights to this priceless privi-
eye. That act freed him from the
draft.
So while our boys were stemming
the Hun hordes at Chateau Thierry
for ST. a day, Melhus was safe at
home piling up war wages.
Now the war is over. Melhus
thinks it's safe to become a citizen.
He'd like to vote and hold up his
head with his neighbors.
Judge Dean did not mince words
in refusing to honor the application.
You can not become an American
citizen now or any other time" de-
clared the court.
Melhus ought to be aboard the SOW
let ark Buford with other traitors to
America instead of being at liberty
and receiving the same privileges
and protection as men who fought for
the flag, says The Fairmont Sentinel.

FILING THE ICE HOUSE
HOW WORK Is WELL
CARRIED OUT
Labor Reduced to Minimum"
Properly Describes Situa-
ton; Details -

Labor reduced to = minimum"
most aptly describes the manner in
which the Peoples Ice company this
winter has put up 10000 tons of ice at
the new plant, erected by the COM
pany in LIE Hitler on the Minnesota
river. Compared with the former
manner of loading, hauling and stor-
ing ice in houses, miles away from
the ice fields, the new method pur-
sued forms striking example of the
ingenuity of man in adopting labor
saving devices. .s
Nine ice houses have been erected
by the company on the river bank,
just at the curve of the river below
the brickyards. Into these nine houses
$4,000 tons of ice has been elevated
from the river with hardly more ac-
tual labor than formerly was required
to furnish one load.
Ice is cut in the river and the
single cakes are foated down an open
channel in the river, just the width
of the cakes. At the end of the chan
mel an endless chain, dropped four
feet beneath the surface Of Tie wa
ter, picks up the cake of ice and ele-
Yates it, on specially constructed
chute, up some forty feet, to the lev
lel at which the ice is being stored.
Cakes Dropped on Track.
Inside the building the cakes are
dropped on track, so elevated that
they slide without halt to the place
where the ice is being stored. In
this manner one layer of ice was
placed in the whole nine houses at
time, it being only necessary to
change the skid tracks inside, so that
when one house was filled the tracks
would guide the cakes to another
The only labor required in the work
is men at the end of the chain, to
see the cakes were properly started
up into the houses and at the various
curves of the track inside, to keep
| the cakes moving along. -
j The link belt on which the cakes
are elevated. into. the buildings, is
seventy-five feet long and was spe-
