Gust, longleaf pine, or cherry will give
approximately the same amount of heat
as one ton of hard coal. One and one
half cords of shortleaf pine, western
hemlock, red gum, Douglas fir, Syca-
more, or soft maple will equal one ton
of coal; while cords of cedar, red
wood, poplar, catalpa, cypress, password,
spruce, or white pine will give the same
amount of heat as one ton of hard coal.
Resin gives twice as much heat as
wood, weight for weight, hence such
woods as the pines or frs have more
heating power per ton than non-resin-
Gus woods. The heating value of wood
depends, in many cases, not alone upon
its heating power, but also upon such
qualities as ease of ignition, rapidity
of burning, freedom from smoke, and
uniformity of heat. AS a rule soft
woods burn more readily than hard
woods, and light woods more readily
than heavy woods. The pines give a
quicker, hotter fire and are consumed
in shorter time than birch; whereas
birch gives a more intense flame than
oak. On the other hand, oak gives a
more steady heat. A standard cord of
hardwood on burning yields only 60
pounds of ashes, whereas ton of hard
coal yields from 200 to 800 pounds of
ashes.

and settled in Calumet, Michigan, where
he remained four years, removing from
there to Tower where he was employed
in the mines for four years. In 1888,
in company with several others from
Soudan, he came to Ely and was en-
ployed in the Chandler mine.
In 1893, when the S. S. G. U. was
organized in this city Mr.. Agnich
was elected president of the Or
ganization and thus owned the dis
tinction of being the first president as
we'll as a charter member TO the Union.
Two societies in this city formed the
nucleus of the organization at that time
which has since grown to the very
appreciate number of 186 member
lodges in states of the Union having a
Slavic population.
The original two lodges were men,
bers of a union having headquarters in
Joliet, Illinois. At a convention early
in 1898 held in Pueblo, Colorado, the
attempt was made to assess the Ely
lodges out of existence. This was re-
sented by the delegates from here who
upon their return home decided to
break away and form Union of their
own. That this move became popular
is attested by the number of lodges
now under the South Slavonic Catholic
Union banner and the amount of in
surance and list of membership carried
by the 1856 lodges of the country.
Surviving are the widow, two
daughters and five sons. The daughters
are Mrs. William Rowe and Mrs. Louis
Deyak of this city. The sons are
Joseph of Snohomish, Washington;
Mathew of Meadow River, Minnesota,
and Stephen, John and Jack, at home
with their mother in this city. A
brother, Stephen Agnich, in business
in this city on west Camp street, also
survives.
The bereaved family have the SYM
pathy of host of friends in their loss
of a fond husband, father and brother.

nv Il - ma 90 ERNWWW

Raleigh, Aug. 21-Wine as well as
liquor is going to get attention in the
approaching General Assembly. Indi-
cations are that it will probably be
grouped with liquor and that a fairly
heavy State tax will be imposed both
upon all who sell wines at retail and
wholesale as well as upon the wine
itself. At the present time, owing to
the fact that the bill legalizing the
sale of natural wines in North Caro-
lima was passed in the closing days
of the 1885 session and after the rev.
enue bill had been enacted, no State
tax other than the sales tax is I'M
posed on the sale of wines and no Ii
censes or permits are required for its
sale, although Federal permits must
be obtained. The extent of the wine
business in North Carolina is indi-
Gated by reports from Washington to
the effect that 2,765 retail liquor deal
erS licenses were sold in the State
this past year and 81 wholesale liquor
dealers licenses. The retail licenses
cost $25 a year and the wholesale Ii
censes 500 a year But all of the pro-
ceeds from these licenses went to the
Federal government and not a penny
to the State.
The fact that no State tax is inn
posed on the sale of wine, and the
further fact that no penalty was i'm
posed for violation of the wine law
and no provision made for it's en-
forcement, wine ha sheen sold as free
ly as ginger ale and coca-cola for
more than year now. Almost any
brand of wine desired, as we'll as bot
tied, readymixed cocktails may now
be had at almost any soda fountain,
cigar store or lunch stand either by
the drink or bottle. Nor are these
wines confined to natural wines" as
the law specifies. Many of these wines
are highly fortified by the addition of
alcohol, so that they are highly in
toxicating.
The wine bill was rushed through
to enactment in the last few days of
the 1885 General Assembly supposed
ly as an agricultural measure" to
stimulate the growing of grapes in
North Carolina but primarily designed
to help the Garrett Company, makers
of natural wines, according to those
who know the inside story of the bills
introduction and final enactment. But
the; belief now is Hiatt this next as
semsly will clamp down on the wine
business and probably treat wines and
liquors alike and subject to similar
regulations.
