board manufacturer, does the same for
steam-dried straw boards.
f Mr.. Brown, now of Boston, was form
erly of Portland He tells OF wood pulp
boards. He says:
The manufacture and use of pulp
boards is of somewhat recent date, and
like the uso of wood pulp, has grown to
such an extent that a large part of the
boards in use in our country today for
boxmaking is made from wood.
In the year 1872 patent was granted
for pulp boards, and as 1t is of historical
interest copy of the patent is herewith
presented. 1t is as follows:
Be it known, that we, Charles Brown
and Elias B. Denison, of Portland, in
the County of Cumberland and State OF
Maine, have invented a new and useful
improvement in wood pulp; and we do
hereby declare that the following Is a
full, clear and exact description of the
same.
Our invention ia especially adapted to
the production Of board from wood pulp
suitable for the manufacture of paper
boxes, resembling those usually made
from strawboard; but the board produced
from wood pulp, as hereinafter described,
is far superior to strawboard, on account
of the beauty and purity Of it's color -
etc.
SAT first boards were made on what is
termed the short or wet machine, cut
from the press rolls, put on racks and
dried in a dryhouse or over steam pipes.
When thoroughly dry they were moistened
by running the sheets between two felt
covered rolls, the lower roll running in
water. They were afterward pressed in
presses similar to the old fashioned cider
presses, but later on the knuokle joint
and hydraulic presses were used. After
remaining In the presses until the moist
ure had permeated the whole they were
trimmed to size, and each sheet was
weighed separately and counted. AT
that time all boards were made 26x3S in
ches in size. The first boards made in
this were used by the Dennison Manufac.
turing Company and the George n. Dick.
erman Company, both Mr.. Dennison and
Mr.. Dickerman visiting the mill and
aiding by their advice in making the ex.
pertinent success.
''This process was of necessity slow
and as the price of boards declined, sell
ling first at 500 to 1925 per ton, and later
at $40 to $75 per ton, to expedite the man.
ufaoture long machines came into use
with two or more forming cylinders.
"About this time patent was taken
out for what was termed Star boards.
The Star board had dark, strong cen
fire Of cooked wood with both outsides Of
white pulp, which was great advance,
as it gave much stronger board, which
vet kept the appearance of the white or
Maine boards.
Later on Col. +. E. Heath, of the
Kennebec Fibre Company, at Benton
made board from cooked wood, using
some chemical pulp. This he called jute
hoard. 1t had dark color and was very
strong.
CAN of these are being made today, to-
eether with hundreds of others made by
different combinations of ground wood
and chemical tibres.
Recently party secured a patent for
what is known as newspaper or blue
tint board, and which is made from
overruns of newspaper presses and from
old or,folded newspapers, the ink being

PRIrcHARD HARD PUSHED.
Senator Butler Claims His Colleague
Is Beaten.

Raleigh, N. c.. Jan. Tin answer to
pressing requests to come here, many of
Senator Pritchard's friends arrived to-
day, reinforcing the large number already
present. Among them is Congressman
elect Brownlow of East Tennessee. Sem
ator Butler, said this evening; There
are enough populists pledged to vote
against Pritchard to carry the populist
caucus by a good majority. Senator
Pritchard cannot be elected. Compare
lively few populists vii. bolt the caucus.
1 cannot say whether the senatorial mat
ter will be settled tonight or not
Congressman Skinner said MY opinion
is the majority of the populist caucus will
be in favor of Senator Pritchard Either
Senator Butler or myself is mistaken"
1t was also openly stated that Mr.. Skin
ner's forces contemplated a new policy by
which populists who are for Pritchard
may refuse to vote when the senatorial
matter is brought to a test; refuse to act
in caucus and when the election Of senator
comes up cast a solid vote for Prtchard.
The populists who urged TINS course say
they could not be called bolters and would
only be living up to their agreement with
the republicans. 1t was also urged by
some that the Pritchard populists may
keep away entirely from Senator Buffers
caucus.
Nothing else is talked of tonight save
the senatorial fight Senator Butler said:
Il am ready to fight to a finish on this
senatorial matter tonight or any other
time"
There are fifty-nne populist members.
Thirty-eight of these attended the confer
ence last night, and pledged themselves
not to vote for Senator Pritchard. Sena-
tor Pritchard's friends claim they have
twenty-five populists
There is some republican dissatisfaction
but this may or may not develop. 1t is
causing anxiety. This is a statement made
by one of three anti-Pritchard republicans
tonight Another says Senator Pritchard
is beaten.
Senator Butler has never named his can
didate.
Congressman-elect Fowler, rep-pop.. in
sists that Senator Pritchard is beaten.

DAUNTLEss REFUSED CLEARANCE.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 7.-Although the

result of her last trip, from which she

A. Bisbee, this morning applied for clear
ance papers for the steamer to go to Nue.
vitas, Cuba, with cargo of arms and am
munition.
W. A. Bisbee, George r. Foster and
Capt. w. Meyers called at the custom
house and made formal application for
the clearance of the vessel. Deputy Col
lector c. Hopkins, who is in charge of the
office during the absence of Collector Bis
bee, refused to grant the clearance until
authorized to do so by the Secretary of
the Treasury. At the request of the own
er, he telegraphed the secretary for per-
mission to clear the vessel. Secretary
Carlisle replied ordering the collector to
refuse clearance until further orders. The
officers of the Dauntiess still deny that
they have been to Cuba. All that can
be gotten from them is that they transfer
red the men and cargo taken from No
Name Keys to another vessel, presumably
the Bermuda.
Nothing has yet been done towards libel
ing the Dauntless for violating the naviga-
tion laws, being in foreign waters without
clearance, or violating the neutrality laws.
1t is probable that a libel of information
will be filed in a day or two.

order shortly before noon to-day. In the

the House, Representative Petit was
seated by vote of 50 to Al. Petit is
Fairbanks man, and the vote which he
received indicates that Fairbanks will
easily be elected senator on joint ballot,
unless there is a great change in the po-
litical wind between now and Jan. II, the
date on which the vote for senator is to
be taken. Through some misunderstand-
ing the Senate was called to order an hour
earlier than was intended. and when the
lieutenant governor raped for order few
republicans were present. The democrats
threatened to organize the Senate to their
own liking, but the speaker declared a
motion to adjourn carried, and the scheme
was headed off.
