A farmer living north of O wosso was
cutting wheat with his binder a few
days ago, and everything goins smooth
ly, when suddenly there was a crash
and rattle and the horses stopped. The
farmer jumped off his seat and started
an invstigation. He discovered huge
copper still in front of the knives. He
asserts that it wasn't his and expresses
the opinion that someone had come
through deep pitch. which runs paral-

OWOSSO HAS
= SOME COAL
Factories Pretty Well Sup
plied.-Sugar Go. Supply
Getting Short
From Argus Press

From Argus Press
Although the nation is threatened
with one of the most serious coal short
ages in its history. Owosso manufactur
ing plants are not threatened with an
immediate impairment of their activ-
tiles.
The company that apparently faces
the most difficulty because of the pres
ent coal situation is the Owosso Sugar
Co. This company burns from 25, 600 to
10000 tons of coal per campaign, ac
cordng to the beet tonnage.
Has Only 500 Tons
The company, as rule puts in 20, 600
first, and when it is able to estimate the
tonnage, increases this amount in pro-
portion to the beet tonnage. 1t usually
has the greater part of its supply in at
this time.
I'VE have only 500 tons on hand now
and we don't know when we will get
any more" declared c.. D Bell, vice
president and general manager.
The wood working factories of the
city are in fairly good shape. All of
them burn their own waste and con-
sumo but little coal during the day time.
Furniture Plants Safe
The Owosso Casket and Woodard
Furniture Companies haye about 40
days supply of cCal on hand, with no
more on the road. The Estey Manu-.
featuring Co. has at least 90 days sup
ply on band. The Field Body Corpora
ton is protected for the time being
The Owosso Manufacturing Co. has a
good supply on hand This company
also furnishes power to the Independent
Stove Co., which, because of this, burns
only very small amount of coal.
The American Mallea6les Co. has
several months supply on band.
The Owosso Gas Co. does not expect
to have to curtall its services for some
time at least. 1t has about 30 days
supply of coal on hand now. 1t has
stopped contracting for future deliver
les of coke and is now selling on cash
basis 1t will not permit its supply of
coke to get low. because in case of eX-
hausting its supply of coal, it will use
coke in making water gas.
Rosevear Not Worried
Commissioner John Rosevear, of II e
deparl ment of public utilities, says that
he has about 100 tons on hand at the
water works pant, has another car on
the way here, and has several car loads
bought at the mines, to be shipped as
soon as the railroads can move them.
I'VE are not worrying over our coal
supply" declared the commissioner. If
it comes to the worst, we can confs.
cate enough coal under the law, to
keep the plant going"
Retailers Deluged
Local retail coal dealers are being
deluged with orders They are receiv-
ing scattered shipments, but their re-
serve supplies are very low. The rush
of orders is the result of increasing
alarm among consumers over the out
look for coal this winter, scores, who had
been putting off ordering their winter 3
supply when there was ample to fill
their bins during the spring months.
suddenly awakened to the seriousness
of the situation.
Hard coal is much more scarce than
bituminous, and there is virtually none
to be had now. Sharp advances in
prices have been reported from other
parts of the country, but there has been
no advance here.

GOVERNOR BLAINE TO
SPEAK here THURSDAY
Press Dispatches Give Hurley as One
of the Governors Stopping Places
on Speaking Tour

Gov. J ]. Blaine, who started
this week on speaking tour of
Wisconsin in his campaign for re
election, will speak in Hurley next
week Thursday, according 10 his
itinerary as announced in press
dispatches from Madison.
Opening his campaign speeches
in Barron county ON Thursday the
governor than went to Polk county
and today is scheduled to speak in
st. Crox county. Next week Gov.
Blaine, who is travelling by auto
mobile, will work north, speaking
IN the various counties on the way.
Next Thursday, June 20, he will
speak at Hurley, Ashland and
Mellen, and on Friday at Washburn
and Bayfield,.
Gov Blaine will make the Fourth
of July address at Superior, where
celebration will be staged under
the auspices of the American
Legion. He will end his first
campaign speaking tour with an
address at Stoughton, Dane county.
As far as could be learned yester
day no person or organization in
Hurley had been appraised of the
governors forthcoming visit here,
and neither could it be learned
whether any arrangements had
been made to receive the governor
or TO provide place for holding the
meeting. Inquiries of a number
of local prominent politicians fail
ed to throw any light on the matter,
they saying that the only thing
they knew about the governors
proposed visit was what was learn
ed through newspapers. Since the
governor is travelling by automobile
it is believed that he will merely
stop here on his way to Ashland
and that if he speaks it will be to
an open air gathering.

/ $50 600 for street Improvements
were taken at a meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening, when the
ordinance providing forthe issuance
OF bonds was passed unanimously

ance transpired at Tuesday meet
ing. At the next meeting, which
will be held on July IS, applications
for permits to conduct soft drink
