NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE esteemed
fellow citizen, Hon. Joseph 3. Hall, left this
city last evening for Omaha, where he intends
to establish daily evening paper under the
title of the Omaha Tribune. He takes presses
and type with him, having loaded up two cars
here with printing materials, the first cars
ever loaded at this place for Omaha.
Mr.. Hall possesses peculiar qualifications to
establish and conduct newspaper, having had
good experience IN the business. A printer by
trade, he established in 1857 the Aroostook
Pioneer in Presque Isle-the first newspaper
ever established in Aroostook county-which
in two years obtained circulation of $500
copies. He sold out this establishment in 1859
and in 1860 established another paper at that
place called the Herald, which was subsequent
ly merged into the Portland Press when this
paper was established in 1862 and of which
paper Mr. Hall was one of the original propri-
etors and editors. After disposng of his inter-
est in the PRESS, he was connected with the
Daily Courier in this city and subsequently es-
tablished the Monitor printing establishment,
which has met with good success. He carries
with him to his new home in the West an ex.
perience of which few can boast, and which
must ensure him success in his new enterprise
in the great and growing State of. Nebraska.
Mr.. Hall was for three successive years
elected by the Legislature to the Office of Sec.
| Rotary of State, and performed the duties in a
most acceptable manner. He takes with him
| to his ne " home the best wishes for his sue
cess and prosperity from his numerous friends
in this city and State.

sanborn steam safes.

WE read with interest the recent trial, by
fire Of Steam Fire-Proof Safes, with the Kit
tredge. and Tilton Il Mcfarland safes in San
Francisco, in which the contents of the two
latter were wholly consumed and those of
the former were uninjured. II may interest
those having occasion to buy, to know that,
public trials have been made of this safe
with others of the best reputation and al
ways with the same result, in the presence
of impartial judges chosen from amongst the
first business men in the following places ::
Boston, Portland, Providence, Norristown,
Philadelphia, Dayton, Cincinnati, Baltimore
and now, San Francisco.
The trial in Philadelphia was made in the
open air, and also in furnace. In all the
places they were witnessed by great numbers
of people, and the results testified by many
of the business men, officers of Insurance
Companies, Banks, Merchants and others,
and of the Civil and Military service of
the United States.
The following safes have been subjected
to these trials, with the Steam Company's
safe: The Soap Stone. Edwards & Kern
shaw's, Morse's, Tilton & McFarland's, Mar
lands, Valentine d Buffers, Alum Safe,
Millers Fire-Proof Cement Safe, c. L. Mai
GERS, Lilies, Marvin & Co.'S, Hassenforders,
Macneale & Urban's, Diebold's, Bahman
& Co.'S, The Hall Safe d Lock Co., The De-
troit Safe Co., and Kittredge's.
At the trial in Providence, the wood work
of MiIler's Safe was partially burned, the
contents charred, but not destroyed, the
edges of the books burned, but the inside in
4 fair condition, aud the writing legible.
The trial at Boston continued 10 hours. In
Portland, 90 hours. At Providence. "a
hours. At Norristown, 81 hours. The
open trial at Philadelphia, hours. The
time occupied by the trial in the furnace is
not stated. The trial at Dayton continued s
hours. At Cincinnati it was continued
throughout the day and wood piled about
the safes and put in charge of Policeman,
and the lower part of the safe continued red
hot, and the water cans boiling for "a hours.
In this most protracted of the trials the con-
tents Of the other safes were totally destroy
ed, part of the contents of the steam safe
were diseolored, part in perfect order, and
all were legible. The last trial, except in
San Francisco, was in Baltimore, Oct. p 1868.
The Steam Fire-Proof Safe is doubtless the
most perfect protection against fire of any
thing yet invented. II has hitherto stood all
the trials to which it has been subjected.
We see 1t stated that scientific gentleman
of Boston has list of large number of
safes that entirely failed in the great fires of
Portlnad, Augusta, Belfast, Eastport, GIous-
ter and other places.
We have been thus particular in describing
these trials, as it is matter of interest to
our business men to know what improve
ments are made, which tend to their security

of their Indebtedness, and remember not
their past obligations while assuming new
ones, become involved beyond their
means, and, perchance, are forced TO sue
cumb to what they deem hard treatment
at the hands of their creditors, bringing
irremediable misfortune. or are put to an
irksome prospective economy that might
have been avoided by an adherence to
quarterly settlements
The increasing cost of living in Homo
lulu, without any marked increase in the
receipts of business. and the necessity Of
reducing, rather than increasing, business
salaries, has been remarked by many Of
our old residents. and we presume that
very few can allow themselves to indulge
in unnecessary expense. or in Injuries.
without first counting the cost. Yet it
would seem, from the number Of evening
auctions preceding and during the holi-
days, and the amount of goods disposed
of, that our community are still able to
indulge largely in Injuries, and it ought
to indicate our ability 10 meet our quar-
terly bills. for our actual requirements.
with ease and promptness.
We are not convinced of this fact,
however. by these evening sales, but be-
lieve that our system of easy credits. and
easily evaded quarterly settlements. is
responsible for this holiday extravagance.
The lesson that 1870 will teach US, and
that seems to be evidently foresbadowed,
as we look along the coming mouths. is,
economy in expenses. and greater diligence
in business shortening of credits. and
greater strietness in quarterly settlements.
