! | MIKE AND PACKY By BARRY FARRIS If Packy McFarland, the Chicago fighting marvel and Joliet,, IIl, brewer, wants to pick up a little pile of change he can be accommodated easily. All he has to do is to agree to step inside of a ring which holds Mike Gibbons, St. Paul citizen. It is the one burning desire of Gibbons’ life to exchange wallops with the McFarland person. Here a few weeks ago it looked like Mike and Packy were going to come to- gether. But just at the ‘‘chroocial” moment—when the articles were to be signed—pPacky Jad an important engagement ' elsewhere. 8 Gibbons will concede a lot to entice Packy into a match. In the first place he will agree to make 145 pounds for the Chicagoan. The St. Paul wonder admits that making 145 pounds is no easy feat for him but he is willing to run a risk of getting down too fine just to get a crack at McFarland. Just why Gibbons is so anxious to clash with McFarland it is hard to tell. Of course, there would be a {nice fad of coin in such a match for both fighters. But a talk with Gih- {bons will convince one that there is :somelhing more than money con- |sideration behind his anxiety to islam the Chicagoan. } 1f is possible that Mike is keen to demonstrate that he is the cleverest \fighter in the world. He has becn called so a great many times. And then he has heard that he is the | cleverest “‘next to McFaralnd.” Mike The Ice Harvest of the Railways Does the passenger on any of the vast systems of American railways, as he or she quietly goes to the water cooler in the day coach or Pullman and takes a comforting draught of cold icewater, stop to reflect upon where the ice comes from, the quantities required, the methods of har ing and the cost of it all to the railways? Possibly one in ten thousand or a hundred thousand does. And how about it when the long lines of yellow re- frigerator cars are seen lining the side tracks at terminal points? But for these thousands of refrigerator cars the fru egetables of ippi, Lou- Wash- Q isiana, Oregon, ington, Montana, Minnesota and numerous other states, that play so important a part in our daily gas- tronomical life, would not be seen on our tables at all seasons of the year. And what would we do with- out our grape fruit and oranges and berries in winter from the south- land, the fresh fruits and crisp, de- licious vegetables from our cooler Northern clime during the heat of summer? o 1 A brief statement of the magni- tude of the ice harvest conducted by the Northern Pacific Railway, simply for its own necds and re- quirements, will convey an idea of the immensity of this railway ice business over the entire country. The main transcontinental line of the Northern Pacific system, via Seattle and Tacoma to Portland, alone aggregates more than 2,000 miles. Including the main lines, Minneapolis-St. Paul to Duluth-Su- perior; Staples to Ashland; Brain- erd to International Fakl: fanitoba Junction to Winnipeg, and Seattle to Sumas and Vancouver, B. C.,, and the various alternate and branch lines, the total mileage of the entire Northern Pacific system exceeds 6,600 miles. The ice crop for the year's requirements is harvested, largely by contract, at numerous points along the entire system. The principal harvesting points are ‘White Bear Lake (near St. Paul), Spirit Lake (near Duluth), and De- troit, in Minnesota; Mandan, North Dakota; Homestake, Montana; Co- colalla, Idaho; Thorp, Washington. The quantities 6f ice cut at these points and d away in the com- pany’s various ice houses range from 6,000 to 10,000 tons to from 25,000 to 50,000 tons each. The total ton- nage placed under cover by the Northern Pacific in the winter sea- son of 1914-15 exceeded 200,000 tons at a cost of $130,000. As this ex- penditure was almost entirely- for labor, it will be seen at a glance that this industry means the em- ployment of a large number—thou- sands—of laborers and the distribu- tion of by far the greater part of the money disbursed, among them. Few persons have ariy idea of the tremendous growth of the refrig- erator car service of the railway » by concrete cross walls. lines in recent years. This is the only way in which the perishable fruits and vegetables, which are now so important a part of our daily meals, in season and out, can be The d, transported long distances. cars must be specially constr they are an expensive part of way equipment, and entail a con ous heavy yearly expenditure for re- plenishment to supply the in sing demand for them. There are two kinds of refrigerator cars; one for ordinary express freight train use, the other for passenger train service. The latter are heavier, are equipped with air signal apparatus, and, in general, are a more expensive car, The Northern Pacific Co. have sev- eral thousand refrigerator . They represent an expenditure of between $6,000,000 and $7,060,000 in the aggregate, and they have a dis- tinctive color—yellow. In harvesting ice the work i3 d with the latest improved “ ments and in modern fashion. Larze gangs of men and horses and the latest “styles” in runways ait in the work; the ice is ¢ all superfluous snow and “d:bris” and placed in the ice houses cr cars in clean condition, It has been found advisable to construct, at certain points, fire- proof ice houses of special design, capacity and strength. The house at Pasco, Washington, is an exam- ple of these modérn ice houses. This house was constructed to re- place an ordinary wooden house de- stroyed by fire and where the en- tire supply of ice was also lost. The new house is built of reinforced con- crete divided into 12 compartments There are 12 electric elevators with a lifting capacity of one ton each. The main and cross walls are hollowed and have a 10-inch space filled with fine granulated cork for insulation pur- poses. The walls are made rigid by means of concrete columns cast with the walls. Everything about the building—floor, ceiling, roof, ete.—is concrete, and the roof is supported by steel trusses. The building is 483 feet long, 94 feet 6 inches in width, and 41 feet 10 inches high, and has a rated ca- pacity for 30,000 tons of ice. Pasco is an important car icing point, the fruit transported from the noted Yakima Valley, the Lewis- ton-Clarkston region, and the Walla ‘Walla country being iced here. More than 30,000 tons were placed in this house in 1914-15 and the ice was harvested and brought from Coco- lalla, Idaho, 200" miles, and from Thorp, Wash., 134 miles distant. Multiply the figures given here for the Northern Pacific system by the aggregate number of railways in the United States, and it will be seen at a glance what an enormous business the icing of railway passenger trains and refrigerator cars is. Think of it the next time you step up to the water cooler. ne Wiy Not Buy Your Clothing A 0. J's New Clothing Store may want-to remove that ‘“next to ' McFarland” thing. : Stories galore are circulating about Jim Coffey, the true son of the Emerald Isle who is battling for | fistic honors in the heavyweight di- vision under the guidance of Billy Gibson, but his manager told the best one a few days ago when he re- lated how Coffey broke into the fight game. !3, happened three years ago. Coffey ‘was matched with a batt- ler by the name of Al Benedict. At this time Coffey didn’t know a boxing glove from a toy baloon. He was as green as his national color. He was taken to a gymnasium and coached in the gentle art of self defense. On the night of the fight he was the most hewildered man in the world when he was led into the ring. He had- never even seen a prize fight. He didn’t know anything about rules, referee or time but he did know he was to slam the other person who wore big mitts. In the first round Coffey stopped a wallop with his chin, counting ‘‘one, two, three.” Coffey got up at the count of eight. Not that the count made any difference to him. He didn’t know that the count o “ten” would end the fight. He just thought it was up to him to get up. He finished the round. The second was barely started when the fighters clinched. The referee rushed in to break them. In the scramble all three went down in a heap. Coffey and Benedict got up. The referee, having been on the bottom, didn’t. Coffey reached out with one hand and held Benedict at arm’s length. ‘With the other hand he began tolling off the count. “Wan, tooh, t’ray—" he was go- ing, when the roars of the crowd and the yelling of his seconds stopped him. To his manager ofter the fight— which, he won—Coffey declared he had just wanted to be polite to the referee. The latter had counted for him when he was down. SOLONS BEGIN TOUR OF NORTHERN SECTION (Continued rrom Page 1.) ed to ‘“‘show” its visitors the extent of our great resources and will be “on parade”. during the expedition. No Doubt as to Result. There can be no doubt of the result. There is only one result possible. Those who know Northern Minnesota know the answer. They are not timid or doubtful. They feel that this tour of investigation marks the greatest epoch in the history of Northern Minnesota development. For Northern Minnesota will *“show ‘em.” May Shock Some Legislators. There are some things besides po- tentialities for Northern Minnesota to show. There are actualities which are going to shock some visiting leg- islators from the southern and west- ern sections of the state. It'seems a little astonishing, but it is none the less true, that Southern Minnesota has some weird ideas about the great north section of Min- nesita. These ideas exist only in the minds of those who never have been north. Their conception is, in many in- stances, that the cities and villages of the north are mere border camps, rough, uncouth, dangefous places for the peace loving person to seek ex- istence. Their mental vision of Northern Minnesota is akin, perhaps, to the idea of the native of Manhattan Island has of the west—bears, wolves, Indians, cowboys, -shooting “irons” and bad whiskey. > On the contrary the people of the north are to show the legislature this week and next an empire devel- oped and undeveloped richer than the more settled, better known south- ern portion of the state. It may be surprising in itself to suggest that the natural riches of the northern seclion are greater than those of the southern—but let the legislature check up. The tour is to no particular point, no particular section of Northern Minnesota. Literally it is" to take in all Northern Minnesota, the iron range country, the cut over country, ths muskeg marshes, the splendid fertile prairies of the northwestern section. .
