WINTER SUCCEEDS COLWELL
CREAMERY MANAGER

r. P. Colwell, manager of the River
Falls Cooperative Creamery Co. for
the past eighteen years, today turns
over his position to L. Winter of Eau
Claire. Mr.. CoIwell has not lnnounc-
ed his plans for the future.
In 1906, when Mr.. Colwell took
charge, the creamery had about so
patrons and turned out $4,000 pounds
of butter. The past year the institu-
ton has over 700 patrons and the
output an'ounts to nearly 100000
pounds Of butter, the a sst business
record in its history.
Twice during Mr.. Colwell's man
agership his butter has received top
recognition at the National Dairy
Expositions-a first prize at Mason
City, Ia, show, and second at
Topeka, Kansas. In recent years
pressure of business has prevented
the local institution from sending in
entries.
Mr.. L. Winter, who succeeds Mr..
Colwell, has been employed at the
creamery. the pase six months, and is
well equipped to carry .on the work.
Elmer Wigen, who has had direct
charge of the buttermaking for sew
eral years, and WHO is considered
one Of the best in the business, will
remain in charge Of that depart
ment.

CITY BAND WILL HOLD
FIRST CONCERT SOON

The River Falls City Band, now
under direction of G. A. Smith, is re-
ported as making very commendable
progress, and the organization plans
to make it's public debut in concert
sooa.
Those who have stood by this or
ganization through its rather hard
pull against discouraging lack of
outside support, are certainly deserv-
ing of great credit, and the commun-
ity should get into line and show the
"banders" some substantial form Of
appreciation.

MESSAGE FROM TROPICS
CHEERS MOTHER HERE

Christmas morning, bitter cold and
drear, yet the thoughts of one River
Falls mother strayed ever, from the
gifts and cards of greeting about
her, to the far-off tropics, wondering
why Sonny" stationed in the army
there, had sent no word.
A step on. the porch, knock at the
door-a telegram to Mrs. Judith
Rogers, River Falls, Wis; Holiday
Greetings from Dean" And the
faded blue eyes filled with tears,
tears of joy too deep for words.
"Sonny's" message had come; by
radio to the Nations capitol and frcrn
there by telegraph to Mother.
Though thousands of miles sepa
rated mother and son, the Christmas
greeting was less than two hours and
half in reaching its destination.
Dean Rogers, son of Mrs. j. H.
Rogers of this city, is in charge of
the U. S. Radio Station at Darien,
Panama Canal Zone, and from that
point he started his message at a.
m. 1t was immediately picked up at
sea by the U. S. S. utah" and re-
layed by that ships wireless direct
to the government station at Wash
irgton, D. G., from. where it was
wired by Western Union telegraph
to Mr.. Rogers mother, who received
it here at 1922 Christmas morning,
less than 21s hours after it was sent.

Open EImWOOd Quarry
With Mighty Blast

The Wissota Sand & Gravel Co. s
new limestone plant near Elmwood,
northern Pierce county, will be ready
to put out material within a short
time, according to an official Of the
company.
The crushers, conveying machin-
cry, bins are all now under cover
and all that remains, he said, is to
place the drier and a few other
pielss of equipment. A crew from
the Newman Electric Co. is now
busily engaged in wiring the electro
cal motors that operate the extensive
machinery installed in the plant.
To furnish the rock for orders
now on file with the company, there
was set off ait the quarry the other
day the largest single shot ever
placed at one time in the quarry in
dustry in this section of the state.
Three tons of explosives used and an
entire hils:de toppled over majestic
ally when the terrific blast was set
eff.
Fourteen seventy-fve foot holes,
fourteen feet apart, were drilled into
the quarry ledge. Two experts from
the Du Pont Powder company loaded
these holes with a new explosive
known as quarry gelatine." These
holes were all filled with explosive,
which amounted in total to 5000
pounds and were connected and shot
electrically.
After the holes were loaded and
the connections made, guards we're
placed at all points on the roads in
the vicinity Of the quarry, to hold
back any travellers and to prevent
danger of accident.
The ledge which was to be shot
was some seventy feet in thickness
and stood on the brow of bluff $50
feet above the valley floor.
After the guards had been placed
and the members of the construc-
ton Gre W had scattered to points Of
safety, there was brief interval of
silence-7then came the thunderous
blast. What had been, few seconds
before, a towering ledge Of solid
rock was transformed into a seeth-
ing, tumbling mass Of broken rub
bic and boulders. The whole side of
the bluff burst forth in dust and fly
ing fragments Of rock, the sky was
rent with lurid flame and the earth
trembled with the concussfan. Ten
thousand tons of rock in a few Sec
onds time were rolled down onto the
quarry floor. In this form the rock
is now available for the crushers,
where it will be passed on through
the mills to furnish material for
roads, buildings, bridges and to make
fertilizer for the farms in the clover
belt.

CAPITAL OF NORWAY
is NOW CALLED ASLO

The many residents Of this COM
munity who originally came from
Norway will be interested to know
that the name of that country's capt.
tai, Christiania, has been changed to
Aslo, the new designation going into
effect today.
Aslo is the name Of the original
town, founded on the east bank of
the Akers river in 1850. 1t was des-
troyed by fire in 1874 and again in
1924, and then Christian Nv laid out,
on the west bank of the river the
town which was named after HIM
self.
This city grew to include the
former site of Aslo, and now has a
population estimated at about $780,
600.
