WHO IS HE? BAILEY'S FROST PROTECTION. HONEY MVSICIANS WANT UNION ACTION OF NEENAH UNION IS VIEWED UNFAVORABLY IN APPLETON. JLzh nil A Good Story From Sturgeon Bay About an Appleton Man's Adventure Long Ago. Sturgeon Bay, Dec. 1, 1902.

Editor Appleton Post, Dear Sir: Noting the very interesting, article in a recent issue of your paper entitled, "Earlier History of This Region," recalls to mind the many happy hours put in when a boy Ashing In the vicinity of the old log dam at Grand Chute. Although not a pioneer of your city I can date my coming there back to 1865. The article reminds me of a story related to me of an early resident of your city by Mr. D. Houle, a business man of this place.

Mr. Houle was born on the Fox river near De Pere, seventy-two years ago. In his veins runs the blood of the old French voyagers and speaks the French and Indian languages fluently. He well remembers Eleazar Williams the so-called lost Dauphin, his home on the Fox being only a short distance away. Owing to the lack of schools at that early time Mrs.

Williams acted as his first teacher and gave him the rudiments of his education. But to return to the story about the year 1857, Mr. Houle arrived here from De Pere and opened the first tavern or hotel. This county was then a wilderness, the village of Sturgeon Bay consisting of about a dozen houses. There were no roads, only a trail to Green Bay.

A short time after the hotel was opened a man hailing from Appleton stopped at his place and said that he was there to look over some land and to pay the taxes' on the same. This land was located about 5 miles from the village. He inquired of Mr. Houle, where he could get a horse to ride out to the land, and was directed to a man by the name of who owned at that time the only horse in Door county. It was an old white horse 5 crippled in one leg and worth, if worth anything, about $10.

Late in the afternoon the man returned to the hotel, his, clothes covered with mud, I saying he had mired the horse in the bog and after tying him up by the bridle had come for the owner to go back with him and get the horse out of the mire. This he refused to do, but demanded $150 for the loss of the animal. This the man refused to pay but offered $60 to settle. The offer was rejected and the' result was that warwint waa laannrl rT" nrroat of the Appleton man. To escape th.

4 officers of the law Mr. Houle con- A. ti ceaieu me man in uie icnt ui ma hotel for two days, when a boat bound for Green Bay called in at the dock here and the man went aboard dis-guised as a woman, the clothes being furnished by Mr. Houle's wife, and consisted of an old dress and sun bonnet. The disguise was so com plete he escaped detection although the officers were watching the boat.

A few years later Mr. Houle was re turning from Chicago on the Chicago Northwestern railway when he chanced to meet the man on the train and to say he was glad to once more greet his friend from Sturgeon Bay is ill 1 11 AX -L 1 11. putting it miiaxy. At iuai muu railway was not completed to your Mlona nf tho rllcrfiTlPPi on Mr. Houle's stopping at his house and for two days he was royally en tertained by his family, the young ladles playing the piano for him and he was taken all over the town with a horse and buggy, in fact shown every possible attention.

If this man is still living Mr. Houle would like to hear from him and will guarantee he will not have to pay for the old white horse as the owner has passed to the great beyond years ago; Respectfully yours, A.

They have been a most, conscientious and painstaking firm in, the installing of our plant and have if anything given us a better lighting system than the specifications called for and one that is first class in every respect."

A letter from DVD. Bailey to an Appleton friend tolls how he will make the orange crop one of the surest in the world, by protecting it from Its only enemy, frost. A portion of the letter Is as follows: Referring to oil pots, for frost protection, I will say that for several years this question has been assuming an increasing Interest, as from one to three nights in the winter, when the wind is In the north-east, and it is cold over in Arizona, and Nevada, we are liable to have a heavy frost. Up to last winter the mercury never went below 26 degrees. It can go there, and still not injure fruit any, but it must not remain there too long.

The latent heat in the orange will stand even 26 degrees, if not more, for over two hgurs, but last December, it went down to 26 degrees at 9 o'clock at night, and at 5 the next morning it was down to 24 degrees, hence lots of damage was done. After last winter's experience I commenced to Investigate with the view of getting something this winter. Before last winter, about the only thing depended on was coal baskets holding about 10 pounds of hard coal, and hung about 2 feet from the ground. The great trouble was to light them. Kindling was put in the bottom of basket, then the coal, and in lighting them lamp oil was put on, and lighted, but in the hurry only about half of them would burn, the coal not taking fire, so a man could not fire over forty an hour, and they were not practical, for if a number of neighbors had them, it would be impossible to get help to light them.

Last year a man in Conina got out a patent sheet iron bucket to burn crude oil, with ventilating holes in the side, and they were thought to be the thing. Last spring I wrote to the patentee in reference to them, and asked him to give me the names of using them, which he did, but correspondence with them I could see that they were not fully satisfied with them. The patentee came to my ranci early in September, and we had a trial and it was not fully satisfactory, as they did not burn long enough. During the middle the burning, they would burn too fast. After the patentee went away I commenced experimenting on my deas, and made several kinds.

One kind was ra; center draft, i which worked much better than the patent ones, but we could not get them made at figures that we thought we could afford, and I finally hit on what has proved to be the best thing yet, and all my neighbors also think so. We have so far ordered 4,100, and others want them. My pot is simply a sheet iron bucket, made 8 inches across the top, 8 inches high, and 7 inches across the bottom. I decided it on that as there would be no waste of material in cut ting them out, and in the bucket we put in a porous brick on end, and pour the crude oil in. The brick acts as a regulator of the burning, and as a sort of wick.

We light them by put ting in a little distilate, which is the gasoline from our crude oil, not as high grade as eastern gasoline, and light with a torch, as the distilate will light with a flash, and by the time the distilate is burned the oil is hot, and will burn readily. A man can light 300 in an hour. We set them on the ground, right where we want them. I put In 900 In my ranch. I put in fourteen in one row, and as there are thirty trees in a row, we skip every other one, and In the next row put in ten extra.

It takes 888 to cover the ranch, but I do not expect on an ordinary night to light over half of them, holding the rest in reserve in case It should be colder just before sunrise, which It is apt to be. We do not expect to light them until about 3 a. and three quarts of crude oil will burn in my pots, five hours, but in the patent ones only two and one-half hours. We have a cover to, each pot to cover when we fill them, which we take off when we burn them, and in case the temperature should rise so we do not need them longer, by just dropping the cover "on top will put them out. The patent ones coat, one kind, $20 per hundred, and another, $17 per hundred.

I get ours made Los Angeles for $12.50 per hundred. Crude oil costs delivered here from Colton 3 cents per gallon. But If we get a full tank car from Los Angeles It will cost 2 cents per gallon at our depot. There are now pots enough ordered to take a full tank car. I am building a cement cistern to hold 1,600 gallons, and have made a big wooden pump to pump Into de livery tanks that will fill a pall with three strokes.

AH neighbors are also. building cisterns. Our frosts always come with the wind from the north-east and I shall put a larger per cent of pots along the Charged That Neenah Union's Motive In Refusing Permission for Establishment of Union Here Is to Retain Supremacy and Dictatorship. Music of an unusual variety and not altogether harmonious, Is likely to be rendered by musicians of Neenah, Menasha and Appleton during the winter, the discordant note having been struck In the recent refusal of the Neenah Musician's union to grant permission to the Appleton Instrumentalists for a union in this city. According to a provision in the constitution of the American Federation of Musicians, it is necessary when a local branch of the union is established, to first secure permission from the nearest established union, which exercises jurisdiction in the territory adjacent to it.

Some weeks ago it was purposed by Appleton musicians to form a union and the necessary number of members and money were secured. Permission for the organization of a branch of the A. P. M. was then asked of the Neenah union, and to the- astonishment of all, was refused.

According to those interested in the measure, the only reason the Neenah union vouchsafed for refusing permission for the establishment of a union here, was that Neenah musicians wished to maintain the "union" supremacy and dictatorship in their own hands. Big Membership Here. Charles Collar, who by common consent has been selected president of the proposed Appleton Musician's union, stated last night that the total membership of the Neenah and Me-nasha union was only between twenty and thirty. In Appleton, he said, seventy-five names, could be secured of persons who would join the organization. Kaukauna musicians, also, are desirous of entering a union here.

As a matter of fact, it Is stated, the musicians of Appleton will not consent to join the Neenah lodge. This makes it certain, that unless permission for a union is recelvedr there will be no union musicians here, as the constitution of the Federation provides that new members must join the nearest established lodge of the union. 1 In the minds of local musicians, the fact that Appleton is the larger city, more centrally located and offers a membership -nearly double that of Neenah and Menasha appeals strongly for the establishment of a union here. As most of the Appleton musicians are anxious tp become members of the union, the fault that they are nonunion rests solely with the Neenah organization, which, to say the least, acts with anything but a "union" spirit, 1 Complications May Arise. A complication that is likely to cause trouble this winter between the musicians of the two cities, will arise when the Appleton Theatre orchestra goes Jo Neenah to play for the entertainments at the new Neenah Opera house.

Manager Hoeffler stated last night that the Appleton orchestra would play for all the Neenah attractions. This would seem to put it up to the Neenah Musician's union and the other union organizations of the Twin Cities, with their Intense partisan- feeling, to refrain from patronizing ae Neenah play house; that Is, if the ideas of true unionism, as it is generally understood, are followed closely to the letter. But such a condition, It is safe to assume, will not obtain. Fair minded judgment can scarcely help but acknowledge the Injustice of refusing permission by the Neenah union for the establishment of a union here. And it has been characteristic of the union policy that judgment is exercised.

Will Enter Appeal. Should the Neenah union persist further in refusing permission for a union here, it is likely that the Apple ton musicians interested In the project will go before the executive com mittee of the Federation at the next annual convention and obtain permission from them, as Is provided In the constitution. Determined efforts for the establishment of a union here will be begun shortly and the1 effort is expected to meet wjth success. Saved Grave's Brink. "I know, I would long ago have been in my grave," writes-Mrs.

A. Kamps' Show Window. A very interesting relic of the Civil war is on exhibition in H. A. Kamps' show window.

It consists of a copy of the Vicksburg Daily Citizen which bears the date of July 2, 1863, which printed on wall paper. The name Mf Swords appears as proprietor, The owner of the copy is W. R. Smith, who has kept it in' a fine state of preservation. Although it was a Rebel sheet the edition was run off by the Union soldiers, who when they took Vicksburg found the form ready for the press.

The following note appears in one corner of the paper: July 4, 1863. Two days bring about great changes. The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg, Gen, Grant has "caught the rabbit;" he has dined in Vicksburg, and he didbring his dinner with him. The "Citizen" lives to see it. For the last time It appears on wall paper.

No more will it eulogize the luxury of mule meat and fricasseed kitten urge southern warriors to such diet nevermore. This is the last wall paper Citizen, and is, excepting this note, from the types as we found them. It will be valuable hereafter as a curiosity. OCHA POTTER IN KANSAS.

With a trial with seven we found that we could raise the temperature from 6 to 7 degrees, which will, judging from all our heavy frosts in the past, carry the tempera ture above the danger point. The-rule has been to put thirty-five to the-acre, but I am putting forty-five to the-acre. I fully believe that if we can eliminate danger of frosts, that orange-raising will be as safe, and as sure if not surer than any kind of farming.

The crude oil makes of course lots of" smoke, which we depend largely upon to aid us in protecting our ranches. When we were trying several pots the smoke would hang Just over the tops of the trees. We shall not depend entirely upon the thermometer, as a guide when we-should begin to light the pots. Wo- shall have shallow pans of water through the ranch, some on the-ground, some 4 feet above it and somo-as high as the tops of the trees, and that will be in mine about 10 feet high. Those that are high will have to have a tripod that we can spread to bring the pan down so we can see-inside.

And until we find that these-pans begin to be covered with ice we think we are in no danger, but: when these pans begin to have a coating or Ice we will rush the lighting. I will have three men to aid me if I need to light them, so we can light at least one-half of the pots, by skipping every other row at first in an, hour. We have found, that If we feel that-the frost will be very severe, we cart refill if necessary while they are burning with perfect safety, as the oil will', not burn until heated. We will hava our pots next week and will at once distribute and fill them. We have had1, the coldest November for years, ancC last night we had quite a hard -whiter frost, and at daylight the, mercury was-- down to 29 on the house, and I took: the thermometer out and hung It on a.
