NEW HATCHERY
OPENS IN COUNTY
Duluth Man Chooses Pine City as
Likely Place to Expand Chicken
Matching Operations.

Roy B. Lewis formally opened his
hatchery at Pine City Friday when
he warmed up the large Petersime
incubator and filled it with eggs. The
machine is a new one with a capacity
of $4,000 eggs and Mr.. Lewis called
an American representatives. atten-
ton to the fact that if persons ap-
petite for eggs was such that he ate
an egg every day it would take one
person AZ years to eat the number of
eggs that can be set in this incubator
at one time. The first hatch is due
to come off on March %.
Mr.. Lewis was very busy man dur
ing the weeks proceeding the open
ing of his hatchery, with the in
stalling of the machine, booking
orders for chicks and custom hatch
ing, and meeting the many people
that came merely to look at his ma
chine. Mr.. C. ]. Schlager of Braham,
was the first to place an order with
Mr.. Lewis and Edward Kryzer was the
largest custom hatch customer with
over 1000 eggs from his flock going
into the incubator.
The convenience of bringing eggs
to the hatchery to be Matched will
undoubtedly appeal to many poultry
raisers around Pine City as it will
eliminate the use of the small oil
burning incubators in the home.
Good Location.
Mr.. Lewis has rented a part of the
Pennington building for the operation
of his hatchery where he has plenty
of room for his machine as we'll as
room for showing his brooder stoves,
poultry appliances and the C-'em-Gro
feeds which he handles. Mr.. Lewis's
son, Ralph Lewis, assists his father
in operating the hatcheries at Pine
City and Duluth. On Monday, Mr..
Lewis will broadcast personally over
station WEBC, Duluth, and will have
message of special interest to the
poultry raisers in the Pine City COM
munity.

Much interest has been created in
American agricultural and engineer
ing circles by statement made in
lectures given by DR.. Hjalmar Bengt-
son of Gothenburg, Sweden, who is
now touring the United States, to the
effect that while only 3 per cent OF
American farms have been electrified,
As per cent of the farms of Sweden
have been thus modernized-a fact
which is due, in a considerable meas
ure, to the prevalence of waterfalls
in Sweden.
Married in Denmark.
Miss Virginia Booth, daughter of
U. S. Minister Ralph H. Booth in Co
penhagen, last week was married to
William D. Vogel of New York and
Milwaukee. The ceremony took place
in the English st. Alban church in
the Danish capital. In accordance
with Danish law the couple appeared
at the city hall merely, they believed,
to sign the register; they were much
surprised when they found out that
this was the actual marriage. The
church ceremony took place immedi-
ately thereafter, and numerous mem
bers of the American colony in Den
mark, as well as of the diplomatic
corps, were in attendance.
Still Popular.
In May of this year, % years will
have elapsed since the death of Hen

dramatist. That his art still exerts
great influence in this country, too,
is evidenced by the fact that an Amer

POULTRY BODY
HOLDS MEETING
Pine County Association Sees Pros.
poets for Another Interesting EX.
hibit Next December.

The Pine County Poultry association
held its annual meeting at Pine City
on Saturday for the purpose of elect
ing officers and setting the date for
the annual poultry show. The secre-
tary's report for the past year showed
the association to be in fair shape
with prospects for another interesting
exhibit next fall. The membership
fee in the association was left at fifty
cents a year and the entry fees were
set at 35c per bird for single entries
and $1.25 for pens.
The officers elected for the coming
year are ]. B. Kusiol of BerOun, presi-
dent; Arthur Halverson of Sandstone,
vice president; L. F. Appleby of Pine
City, secretary-treasurer; directors,
o. E. Blood, o. H. Swanson, r. B.
Lewis, Walter Schwartz, and w. F.
Hammargren. A publicity committee
consisting of P. l. Hamlin, R. B.
Lewis, and Arthur Halverson was also
appointed by the president to give
the show more and wider publicity.
Show i'm December.
The date for holding the show was
decided on as the first week in De-
cember, this being the same as for the
past two years. The place of holding
the Show was left open until later
meeting, since Pine City has been the
place of the show for several years
and it was the opinion of the men,
bers present that some other village
might desire the exhibit for the COM
ing year. Premium money in the
amount of $35O.50 was paid out last
year, most of this going to Pine county
exhibitors, about $51.00, only, going
out of the county. The source OF sup
port for the show the past year has
been the membership fees, entry fees,
state appropriation, and donations by
the business men of Pine City.

Washington, March 11.-No gather
ing of rebels in recent years has at
tracted more attention than the ses-
sions of Progressives here this week.
There is no question that their de-
alterations will have a far-reaching
effect on the destinies of the major
political parties. They represent a
militant minority recruited from Re
publican and Democratic camps in
Congress. This outfit is committed to
a program of progressive liberalism
which will inevitably worry the more
conservative partisans known as
"stand-patters." The dissenters may
not attract a sufficient number of citi-
zens under their banner to elect a
national ticket, but it is possible and
likely that they will muster strength
to rule the Seventy-second congress.
The subjects considered at the Pro-
gressives' meeting indicate what the
1882 Presidential conventions will be
Obliged to handle as issues. Included
in the list are agriculture, tariff, I'M
and industrial stabiliza-
ton, public utilities and return to
representative government. The sched-
ule offers a serious challenge to the
leadership for party loyalty, which is
more a catchword than a reality
these days. The doctrines discussed
by Senators Norris, LaFollette, and
Cutting from the Republican side of
the aisle will find support from Sen
ators Thomas, Dill, . Costigan and
others from the Democratic side. No
matter how the senate and house are
these progressive "Insur-
gent" warriors will prove a thorn in
the path of the regular" groups. A
fair report would show that large
percentage of the ideas previously
promoted by members of this par
ticular group of rebels have been
written into laws.

OIL STATION AT PINE
CITY HAS BAD FIRE

The Gehl Oil company's filling
station at Pine City was complete
ly destroyed by fire Tuesday MORN
ing. The fire was started when
a car driven by a negro woman
pulled into the station from the
south and bumped into one of the
pumps, knocking it down, and
splitting gas that evidently was
ignited by electric wires or from
the cars exhaust. The car con-
tinued on past the filling station
so that the occupants were not
injured.
Four pumps were ruined by the
fire which spread rapidly to all
parts of the station, destroying
the interior fixtures and the wood
work of the structure. The Pine
City fire department arrived in
short order and soon had the
flames in check. They succeeded
in keeping the fire from spread
ing to other nearby buildings but
were unable to save any of the
fixtures in the station. Eddie
Erhart was in charge of the sta
ton at the time of the fire, but
escaped uninjured. The loss to
the Gehl Oil company is a Sc
we're one as besides the prop
erty damage, it puts out of COM
mission one of their best paying
stations. The amount of the loss
is estimated to be from fifteen to
twenty thousand dollars.
