Interesting Place TO Visit
YOUNG MAN KILLED
BY WHEELS OF TRAIN

The south bound Great North
ern freight through Ashav snuffed
out the life of young man
about 20 years of age at about 1
a. m. this morning in the south
end of this village when he fell
from a steel gondOla car partly
filled with coal.
1t was learned that the young
mans name was, Joe Miller, and
it is thought his folks live i'm
Superior, Wis. According to
man by the name of Kern who
was riding with Miller i'm the car,
they had met i'm Superior and had
boarded the train together. 1t
was raining when they passed
through AskOv and Miller was
standing with his back toward
the end of the car when the train
gave a sudden jerk ahead while
moving slowly down the track.
Miller was thrown backward be-
tween the cars and when found
after the train had stopped was
lying dead with his head nearly
under one of the wheels with his
body considerably mangled. One
leg below the knee and one hand
was cut off and these were found
lying several feet from the body.
After the Askov doctor and sta
ton agent had been called the
body of the dead man was taken
to the village hall to await the
cOrOner's arrival from Pine City
this morning, when arrangements
will be made to remove it.

pore of the Upper House of Congress.
The intentions of Insurgents and "Old
Guards" to shelve Moses were chron-
icled here months ago, but a recent
magazine article by Moses revived the
quarrel on the Republican side. Last
winter Moses whispered to his fellow
partisans that it would be good STRAIT
egg to walk out and permit the Demo-
Gratis to control and take the blame
for whatever the Senate might do dur
ing the next year. Apparently, his
fence-building tour of his home state
has shown him that the unhorsing of
his leadership in Washington will
initiate against him. His opponent
for the Republican Senatorial nominal
ton is the present Governor, an en-
terprising young man who has gath
cred his forces while the Senate's
"wisecracker" has been toying around.
As a consequence Moses has made
a complete turn since Congress closed
down and now wants the Republicans
to hold the fort and save his job.
Senator James j. Davis of Pennsyl-
vania evidently subscribes to the pro-
last week of the Secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution,
that there is no evidence to prove
that the fortune of individuals can
be told by fortune tellers, spirit medi-

problem of educating the voters into
the intricacies of government costs.
No matter what party holds the reins

Mr.. Hoover and his associates have
found that the folks do not fully
understand or appreciate the debt
holiday stunt. Likewise, the publicity
accorded wage and salary cuts and
dividend reductions, particularly this
week, will not put the average tax
payer in an amiable mood for a
threatened raise in Federal taxes next
year. Obviously it is a situation
fraught with danger to politicians and
calling for something more than snap

Senator George H. Moses of New

the brunt of the lead. With an amaz-
ing amount of energy, a dazzling
speed ball, and a grin on his face

he has turned in victory after victory
Lee has been on the job, Tin the bull

to do his bit. The catcher, Lynn An

which he can adjust himself to

has done a good catching job.
One figure that has been in the
back ground, but nevertheless impor-
tant is the manager, Phil Anderson.
He has engineered the club to its
present position. The managers job
is one that requires more patience
and more work than any other on the
club. Phil has handled it we'll and
can be commended for the success
that his club has achieved.

HINCKLEY LOSES
A CLOSE GAME
Westerman, Hinckley Pitcher, Strikes
Out Twenty Men But Loses I'm
Eleven Inning Contest.

Hinckley lost tough game to Isle
III the Eastern Minnesota league last
Sunday at Isle, the contest going II
innings and the score was 2 to 1.
In the fourth inning Fred Johnson
was substituted for Bob Stanchfield
Of Hinckley at bat and promptly hit
the first ball for home run which
score looked big by the way Ernie
Westerman was pitching. In the sew
enth inning Isle scored on a hit bats
man and slow handling of hit that
was held to single. The game went
on nip and tuck until the tenth when
Floyd Woods batting for Prochaska
hit the first ball toward right field
a little short of the woods barrier
which would have been a two base
hit according to ground rules, but the
ball did not get into the woods and
although the runner had reached
third, was forced to return to second
on decision break that went against
Hinckley as did all the breaks of the
game. In the last of the eleventh
the first Isle batter struck out, O..
Haggberg singled over short Moose

Haggberg scored the winning run.
The playing of Orville Haggberg,
Isles pitcher was outstanding for
that club all afternoon and his indi-
vidual efforts were mostly responsible
for the game going to Isle. Ernie
Westerman for Hinckley pitched a
game that should have been his
Striking out 20 men and allowing z
hits in II innings is fine pitching, but
the breaks were not with him. Hinck-

but one error, a thrown ball that
should have been fielded but for a bad
bounce.
Hinckley plays Princeton at Hinck-
ley next Sunday and the way the team
is starting to click supporting fans
can be assured that the Hinckley
club will give good account of them
selves.

Welcome to "Anna."
Jubilation reigned in Chicago one
day last week when the 2,500-ton
Swedish freighter, the Anna, arrived

then sailed through the Great Lakes.
The Anna is the first foreign vessel
to carry general merchandise all the

NoaO Preparing Stone for Teachers
College at Moorhead,
Minnesota.

The quarry and stone shed at Sand
stone on Kettle river, where the dur
able sandstone is quarried and cut,
along with other business throughout
the country has felt the sting of the
depression but is now enjoying a re-
vival of business through securing the
contract to furnish sandstone for the
three buildings being erected by the
State Teachers College at Moorhead.
Other contracts have also been Sc
cured and the business which was
practically at a standstill since the
first of the year is now showing
marked activity. This is much ap-
preciated by the people of the COM
munity as they are to considerable
extent dependent on this industry.
The stone contract for the college
was about $4,000 but is being in
creased as more stone will be used
on the buildings. Most of it being
labor, it is estimated that this will
give work to Is men in the quarry
and 20 men in the stone shed for about
four months. Proposals are coming
in for other public buildings and pri-
vate business buildings.
A Beautiful Scene.
One of the accompanying cuts shows
the quarry which is known as the
Sandstone Quarries Co. 1t is located
on the banks of Kettle river on the
outskirts of Sandstone village and can
be seen from the Great Northern
trains when crossing the high bridge
just outside of the village. 1t can
also be seen when crossing the bridge
on state aid road No. County road
BIN auto, a beautiful panorama
view. AS in the case of local institu-
tions generally this is not appreci-
ated so much by folks living in Pine
county-those who see it frequently
but visitors coming here all remark
about the pretty scenes of Kettle river
with the high stone walls cut straight
down 20 feet or more, and the activ-
tiles in the quarry, the railroad en-
gines putting away and hauling stone
on flat cars to the stone shed, the
blasting of rocks and so on. With
natural growth of trees all around,
the dam in the river, the roar of the
waters especially in the springtime,
the island, and the winding path of
the river, it all tends to make
scene that causes one to stop and
view it with awe.
The quarry was established about
35 years ago, James Tyre having been
the superintendent the past Is years.
II is affiliated with the William Penn
Stone Co., the large shed of which is
located just above the quarry on the
high land and close up to the resi-
Dental portion of the village, only a
block from the pavement-Highway
No. 1. Some of the same people own
stock in both companies and they
work hand in hand. Fred Walker has
been superintendent of the stone shed
for nearly 10 years. 1t is equipped
with high grade machinery and
skilled workmen, some of the most
exacting and beautiful work having
been turned out from this industrial
plant in the years gone by. The Will
liam Penn Stone Co. maintains an Of
