THE CRYSTAL ICE PLANT.
4 MOST SUCCESSFUL RETAIL AND
JOBBING BUSINESS.
on and Ice Produced--A Leading
Plant in the West.

Few people may be aware Of the fact that
the Crystal Ice factory is the largest plant
of its kind west of the Missouri river and
that the business of the concern is salts
factory to the point scarcely equaled by
any institution in the west. It was nearly
four years ago when some of the leading
business men of the city, who could see
the reason for city at this point and had
faith in their own conclusion based on
facts-they knew to be facts-decided that
an ice factory would be a paying enter
prise and from this point a large jobbing
business could be carried on successfully.
reaching out to all the many prosperous
towns in Southern Kansas They had lit
tie hope at the time of going far east or
south of the state line, but last year with
an improvement of distributing rates from
Wichita they have been able to reach down
deep into Texas and take in the Oklahoma
country while they have filed clever orders
as far east as Fort Scott.
The output of the plant is by all who
have used it, pronounced exceptionally
fine, and when once an order is

| about eight inches of the bottom, which
leaves the impurities undisturbed
The water is conducted from the purify
ing tanks to the boilers three in number
each five feet in diameter ndfourteen feet
long, aggregating one hundred and
eighty horse power. The boilers fur
nish the steam for the plant
and also do the work of evaporation.
The steam is turned from the boilers to
the condensing coils, which are in tanks
filled with cold water. The distillation
complete, the water is conducted to the
airiater, where it is robbed of the air it has
taken up in the tanks This is done to
prevent ''blubbeTs'' in the ice, according
to the ice makers parlance From the air
later the water is conducted in pipes to
charcoal filters. The plant is supplied
with two of these, cylindrical in shape,
ten feet high and three feet in diameter,
and they are placed on end. They are
filled with charcoal, pulverized as fine as
wheat grains, which take out all physical
impurities, and, according to some more
of ice makers parlance, kills the ''fiat-
ness" of the water, whatever that means.
The temperature at this point is about
seyenty-fve degrees, and the water passes
gradually through as it is being rccarbon-
ated. 1t next goes to the coolers and re-
duced to forty degrees, and is forced
through sponge filters and thence con-
Quoted to the ice mouIds. There are 1856
each holding twenty-five gallons of
water, or enough to make a cake of ice
200 pounds. The mouIds are

secured at a point they have
little trouble in getting it dupli-
/ Gated The introduction is all that
is necessary, which fact is appreciated,
! probably, by no one more than the aver
age stakeholder. The system or process
used for purifying the water before it
reaches the watts to be reduced to ice is
! known to do its work perfect. The water
| is little short of being chemically pure as
well as robbed of Objectionable PARTICLES
! As a result many drug stores in Wichita
and surrounding towns depend on the
plant for distilled water and quite a bust
ness in this line has sprung up with little
| effort. When the absolutely pure water is
| changed to blocks of ice it is not only
valuable for cooling purposes but also for
drinking and followed by no diseases COM
mon from the use of impure water. At
the company's office can be found results
of analysis made by leading chemists of
the ice made by the company and of other
ice at different points in the southwest.
They show that the labor and expense
taken in purifying the water are not with
out good results, which fact the company
are not at all reticent about letting the
world know
The company hasa capital stock of $780,,
600 within. A English PRESIDENT A. Sohn
secretary; w. w. Pearce, treasurer; q. NJ.
Calhoun chief engineer and manager.
The main building, in which are located
freezing tanks and storing room, is fifty
five by ninety feet, forty feet high; engine
and tank room thirty-tive by forty-tive feet;
boiler room thirty-three by thirty-siX feet;
coal room twenty-five by thirty three feet;
pump room fifteen feet square. Located
on the Missouri Pacific tracks, the best
freight facilities for coal and shipments of
ice are enjoyed at little cost and trouble.
The store room at present contains one
thousand tons and the plant is turning out
thirty-two tons daily, which means seven
days in a week. The management this
year is giving the business close attention
and all the machinery is in better condi-
tion and doing better work than ever be-
fore. The ice is more perfect and better
average, while the output is five and six
tons daily more than at any previous sea-
son. During the winter months every
thing was given an Overhauling and
placed in thorough repair and the
result is most satisfactory. The increase
of output also comes when there is the
greatest demand as the ice is better known

at which temperature the ammonia passes
of, leaving the water, as it will not evap-
crate until reaching a higher temperature.
The ammonia passes off at the top through
a four inch pipe and goes to the upper con
denser, where it is partially cooled and
condensed; passing from here to the lower
condenser where it is reduced to sixty de
grees in liquid form under pressure of
ITO pounds. 1t is drawn off in a pipe three
fourths of an inch in diameter at this high
pressure, and on reaching a valve is al
lowed to expand one thousand times, re-
ducing pressure to about ten pounds.
Reaching the huge tanks in which the
cans and brine are found it is placed in a
system of coils, reducing the temperature
of the brine below zero. The ammonia is
forced from the net work of coils TO the
rich liquor cooler and thence pumped
back into the retoTt where it started from
and ready TO be used over again without
any waste.
It takes about thirty-six hours for the
water placed in the cans to be changed to
ice. When it is frozen sufficiently the can
the can is lifted out by crane, let down
into tank of warm water for moment
and then the 200 pound cake of ice slides
down an incline TO the stOreroom. 1t Is
almost clear enough for a dudes glasses
and is ready to cool parched lip in Wich-
tia or at some other point in the great
southwest

KEEP AN EYE on THE ALLEYS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
As the warm weather approaches and it
is customary TO prepare for it in a sanitary
point of view, it seems that too much can
not be said in regard to having such work
done in a thorough and systematic man
ner. Our immigration committee is going
to be the means of bringing TO our city a
large number of strangers, a large per-

sides with similar sights and stenches of
the past seasons, 1t viii tend very mate
rally to lessen the number Ci those who
invest in our realty. OF course, the paw
ing and guttering of some of the most
public streets and alleys, viii tend to re
move such objections as far a they are
concerned, but the remaining streets and
alleys should be carefully watched by our
health officers and not allowed to become
breeders Of disease. The prevailing Gus
tom Of throwing all Stops, manure, gar
age etc, in the alleys should be stopped
by all means and the same measures used
for their disposal as Is in force in other
cities. BY all means do not let US be com

as to materially lessen our chances for dis
ease and epidemICs, but in our humble
opinion the feyers and malaria that we
have had. and are struggling with. are the
direct result of throwing Stops and refuse

CHRISTIAN CHrRcH CONCERT.

a grand concert was given last night AT
the Central Christian church under the
auspices of the ladies of the congregation
for the benefit of the general church fund.
4 great many took advantage of that op-
portunity to pass pleasant evening and
the ladies realized quite a handsome sum.
The same concert was given few days
ago but on account of the bad weather on
the first evening it was given again last
night and was a grand success. Several
new numbers were added 70 the program.
The program a given in yesterdays
EAGLE was presented in full. The vocal
solo. .'Sing, Smile, Slumber," by Miss
Odessa johnson was particularly well
rendered and met with hearty applause.
Each number on the program, however
came in for its full share of appreciation
and the audience was more than pleased

silk station al Peabody, who called yester-
day showed Us a letter from Tiffany the
great silk manufacturer in which they say
that the silk cocoons produced in Kansas
are superior in strength of fiber etc. so
much 50 that they allowed him 80 cents
extra per pound, endorsing him a check
for some eight hundred dollars for his last
shipment. This silk worm industry Is a
great deal like the chicken and egg in
dustry, that is, it is a kind of collateral TO
general farm results. Nobody ever went
into the chicken farming industry that
made il pay But flock OF hundred or
