HAMAKUA, Jan. 10, 1895.
WIN. G.. IRWIN a. Co., LTD, HONOLULU:
GENTLEMEN.-The mill has been running dur
ing the past two weeks, with the National
Cane Shredder lately installed, giving the
most satisfactory results.
Our mill consists of three sets of two roll
lers, 30 in. dia. by ~ in. long, the shredder
discs being #. in. long, driven Ivy an
automatic engine IL in. dia cylinder by IA
in. stroke.
The Rattoon cane being milled is as hard
as it is possible for cane to be, having been
subjected to a severe drought during the
whole period of its growth, and growing on
land with a trade wind exposure Our ex-
perience with the Shredder, particularly with
above cane, proves it to he just what our
mills required, the shredded cane being better
prepared to have its juice extracted than for
meily after passing through the first mill.
The first mill is now allowed to open GIG in.
Instead of "a in. as formerly, so that the trash
now leaves the first mill, better ground, than
it formerly did the second, and this without
the old timed grooming, choking, and strain
ing of the machinery.
Behind the first and second mills we apply
hot water, the quantity for the past ~ days,
as per statement attached, has averaged 35
per cent. on the total juice from the cane.
| The trash from the last mill is cut up much
| finer than before the Shredder was applied,
mi oh of it resembling saw dust, it contains
az per statement 80 per cent of moisture and
makes good fuel, the juice from the last mill
stands degrees Brix., so that the moisture
| in the trash is of 8 per cent. sugar solution
| The Boilers make steam much easier than
before, now care has to be taken to keep them
from blowing off, whereas before great care
was necessary to keep the steam from going
too low when the Pan was on.
| By the use of the Shredder we have dis
pensed with six men, formerly necessary to
distribute the cane on the carrier, feed the
first mill, and throw back the long pieces.
! The Shredder Machinery is a good sub
stantial JOB, and should cause little or nc
trouble, as it is subjected to but light strains.
You will see that by applying the Shred.
der, our work in all departments has been
very materially improved-obtaining a
better extraction at less expense than former
ly. The great improvement in our steam
causes much satisfaction to those engaged in
the Mill.
Yours Respectfully,

COPYRIGHT FEES.
Librarian SpoffOrd Says Accounts Are
Complicated and Cause Delay

librarian Spofford Says Accounts Are
COMPLICATED and Cause Delay.
A statement OF the copyright fees re-
ceived by Congressional Librarian Spot
ford in the year and half ended March 81,
1895, has been furnished the Auditor
or the Treasury for the State and other
depart ments.
The salary accounts of the librarian
have not vet been settled and some time viii
be required to determine just how these
accounts stand.
Mr.. Spofford said yesterday that he
could not make a complete statement or
his accounts The last year and a half
had been a very busy period at the library,
and the pressure of the business OF the
offices of librarian and register OF copy
rights had been so great that the ac-
counts had not been kept up.
Notwiths landing their apparent SIM
plicity, he said, the copyright accounts
are complicated Every year about 1OO,-
600 copyrights are granted, a Zee being
charged in each case Many fees are re-
ceived and credited on the books OF the
librarian in cases which finally prove
not to be subject to copyright, and In such
instances the fee is returned
Many people send labels TO the librarian
to be copyrighted, whereas they should
be sent to the Patent Office. Such
cases, more than any other, cOmplicate
the accounts and have caused consider
able delay Whatever sum the Auditor
may find TO be still due the Treasury Mr..
Spofford says will be paid in at once upon
notification TO him
