Snowmobile coming down the Mississippi River to Hastings. ca. 1910. I wonder what they used for anti-freeze?

Another fine example of transportation back in the day. I'm guessing the gentleman probably had a hot dog or biscuit dangling from the end of that pole he is holding. Oops, getting off subject here a little bit. Sorry.

I still don't know how the first one gets the power to the ice. It looks like a gas tank on the near side, and a cooling water tank on the far side, and possibly a mag off the flywheel, and a whistle behind the cylinder.
