NatiOnalC Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS oE
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful;
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past, week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of it's former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 3008 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National.
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
tion has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5 per cent. on all
kinds of cane. and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being Is
to 78 per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratoons.
''The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"

of these shredders may be seen

is to have a great fair at the build

day of dedication with a grand street
parade in accordance with the ar
rangements discussed last winter.

doubtless cheerfully participate. and

Hon. Ben T. Cable arrived home
this morning from Washington and
New York. As has been the case in all
his visits to Washington, Mr.. Cable
inquired into the status of the Rock
Island public building matter. and
made particularly urgent plea that
steps be taken to have operations be-
gin as soon as practicable. Respon-
sive to this, William E. Curtis, as
sistant secretary of the treasury,
gave Mr.. Cable his personal assur-
ance that he would give the subject
his immediate attention. On reach
ing New York few DAYS later, Mr..
Cable was gratified to receive from
Mr.. Curtis the following letter with
reference to the matter:
Treasury Department, Washing
ton. April 10, 1895, Hon. Ben T.
Cable University Club. New York
Dear Mr.. Cable-Referring to the
matter of the Rock Island public
building. find it has been some
what delayed by reason of modifi-
cation made by the late supervising
architect in September of last year,
since which the drawings and speci-
fications for the erection and compile
ton of the building-except the
heating apparatus-have been pre-
pared, and all arrangements COM
pleted preliminary to advertising for
proposals, which will be done within
a short time, and as soon as the blue
prints are received from the photog-
rapher. he now having them in hand
and at work upon them. Yours
very truly, W. E. CURTIS.
Prospects are Favorable.
From this it will be seen that Rock
Islands public building is advancing
as rapidly as possible and with the
friend that Mr.. Cable has enlisted
in the cause in Assistant Secretary
Curtis we may rest assured that it
will not be lost sight of or that it
will be permitted to escape the at
tention of the new supervising archi-
tect of the treasury department.
We may expect the advertise
ment for proposals now at most
any time.

Extensive Land Owners Block Twelfth
Street Paving ON q Technicaiity.
The Twelfth street paving, on
which the Edwards & Walsh Con
struction company commenced oper-
atoms this week with large force
of mer, was blocked this morning
by the extensive land owners
who own the Davenport prop
erty on the outskirts of the city, and
the entire proceedings dismissed by
Judge Adams. The people controll-
ing the old Davenport estate. and
other property holders. through their
attorneys, Sweeney & Walker, and
Col. Henry Curtis and Connolly &
Connolly, yesterday attacked the
paving proposition on technical
grounds, holding that the paving
ordinance provided for division of
the assessment into several INSTALL
ments, the first to be definitely fixed
by the council and not by the COM
missioners, as had been the case in
this, and the others to be equal in
amounts of the multiple of 100.
The court sustained the objection as
to two sections, but maintained that
the proceedings were sound other
wise. This morning, however, the
attorneys for the land interests en-.
tered motion to dismiss the entire
proceedings on the strength of yes.
terday's rulings, and the court sus-
tanned the motion.
Special Council, Meeting Called.
This leaves the city in a somewha,

Realizing the gravity of the situa-
ton, Mayor Medill has called a spe-
cial meeting of the council for Mon
day evening when steps will be taken
to protect the city's interests in the
matter, and insure, if possible. the
continuation of the paving. Wheth-

While there are some of the small
er property holders identified with
the county court proceedings, yet
they are directed in the main by the
same obstructing influences that
have stood in the path of Rock ISL
and's progress, the same powers that
fought the city step by step on Sew
enteenth street, and finally con-
trolled the council; the same infiu-
ence that originally delayed Twenti-
eth street and were only brought to
putting it through by the proposed
extension on Seventeenth. 1t is the
same influence that attempted to
divert attention from Seventeenth by
urging the council to pave Twelfth
street first, that is now interruptin g
and seeking to defeat the city in its
efforts to make good streets leading
into the city on the same general
system that smaller property holders

for reducing the principal.
