Steam Abandoned.

Two of the largest flour mills on
the Pacific coast have adopted electric
power exclusively in their operation,
their steam plants being discontinued
on the completion of the great Fresno
three phase transmission line. One
of these is the Sperry flour mill OF
Fresno, and the other, the second in
Importance on the coast, the Phoenix.
One of the synchronous motor, OF sew
enty-five horse power, in the Sperry
mill has been running for three
months for twenty-four hours day
continuously without a stop. Owing
to the fact that each mill runs num-
Der of motors, so that any portion OF
the mill can be shut down without
continuing the cost, the current being
supplied by meter, electric power, as
anticipated, has proven very econom-
ical It is estimated that the economy
in actual power by the present meth
cd is not less than Is per cent. of the
total. The saving in the cost of OPP
Grafton will settle up for the equipment
in less than year.

Germany can scarcely be considered
as successful in her efforts to secure
fame as a colonizing power. The est
mated cost of her colonies for the com
ing year is fixed, according to the In
perial Budget, at $4,000 in return
for which she is able to point to l,0oS
colonists, all told. of which number
half are soldiers and officials. With
regard to the trade, Germany's exports
to her colonies do not amount even to
81 500, 600 per annum, so that from a
business point of view the undertaking
can scarcely be considered as a profit
able one.

Ed Kragness' century record over the
official relay course last Sunday is the
best long distance road performance we
have had on the coast for long time. He
covered the 100 miles in a little over five
hours, practically riding twenty miles an
hour all the time. This rate of speed
over such roads as he encountered is re-
markable, such pacing as he had being of
uncertain advantage owing to the uneven
surface.
Birdsall, Theisen and White will not
try for Kragness' century record to-
morrow. They made the attempt the
same time he did last Sunday, but failed,
largely from accidents. They will prob
ably wait until New Years and try for the
first century of the year.
