CALIFORNIA; Cream Of Tartar |nduStru Threatened

ard in California 1t is rescued solely
from the offal of the wineries. All that
scum which, rising upon the surface of
the wine by the fermenting of the fluid,
gathers upon the sides of the casks, is
exceedingly rich IN the acid, containing
sometimes as high as forty per cent of
that chemical All this stuff, together
with the lees of the wine-in short all
sediments and accumulationS about the
wine tuns and presses, as we'll as all
pomace and hulls Of the grapes, residue
from the pressing out of the wine-is
bought from the winemakers, to whom
is annually paid about $4,000 for this
substance, which, before the introduce
ton Of the tartar factories, was allowed
TO go to waste
1t brings about 81 per ton, accord
ing to the character of the refuse, and
the cost of hauling to the tartar fac
tory is paid by the latter. Each of the
five several factories which constitute
the industry are located in a wine CEN
ter of the State, and during the wine
making season the scene of the activi-
ties presented in teaming between the
factory and the several presses is a
very stimulating one. One firm engaged
several of the factories, employs in the
height of the season an average of one
hundred teamsters. The factories are
severally at San Jose, Healdsburg,
Fresno, st. Helena and Napa, and the
sum invested in each is about twenty
five thousand dollars.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-09-04

When the stuff is brought to the tar
tar factory it is first put under n.y.
draulic press and all the juice squeezed
out of it. That which thus comes away
from the mass is wine. 1t is not very
high quality of wine, to be sure, but
clarified and worked over it makes a
beverage which the patrons OF the
cheap restaurants sip and smack their
lips at and the poorer class cI VINE
drinkers generally quaff and find ex-
hilarating. What is not put upon the
market as wine is distilled into brandy,
and no inconsiderable portion OF Cali
fornia's output of this product is fur
nished by this seepage from the lees.
The tartar pomace, squeezed as much
as possible, is then spread out in the
sun to dry and perhaps to take on an
additional character by thorough oxt-
diZation. When thus exhausted OF Its
moisture the substance is put into great
watts. where it is stirred with hot water.
White clay and bone black is intro
duced and the boiling process continued
until the coloring matter in the liquid
precipitates and there Is left a clear
fluid, which upon being filtered and
cooled will generate crystals, semi
transparent, rhomboidal in their prisms,
which gather partially in the bottom
and partially on the surface like cream,
from which manner of forming the
product takes its name. These crystals
when ground into a powder form the
cream of tartar of commerce.
There is about half a million of
pounds of cream of tartar produced in

California annually, and 1T sells for
about 20 cents per pound, so that the

800, 900 per year. That which is made
here is consumed on this coast, and
though some attempts have been MADE
to enter the Eastern markets by ship

being about l cent per pound, has been
found to be unprofitable. 1t was the
purpose Of several engaged in the In
duStry, however, to again make the at
tempt to invade the Eastern markets If
the tariff was maintained, but its elimi-
nation will put an end to such anticipa-
lions. The material is used in materia
medica, principally for the compound
ing of seidlitz powders, in which 1t is
employed in connection with the BIZ
carbonate of soda. But the chief use
which it serves is in the manufacture
of baking powders, and this requires
perhaps twenty of the twenty-five mil
lion pounds annually bought in the
United States.
Another product of the tartar factory

manufacture of acid drinks, which one
so often buys under the impression

lemons. 1t is extensively employed also
as a drug and makes many combina-

0dd Events THAT Sent Jack Dalton 10 Alaska and Fortune

in which Jack Miller, now known as
Dalton, shot and killed Matt Egan. II
was on Christmas night. AT that time
Burns boosted of quite a number OF
noted gunfighters. Among them were
Tom and Bill Viccors, These brother
desperadoes and Matt Egan had been
celebrating Christmas eve and when
fully cooked and primed for a fight
they began hunting for one. They soon
found 1t.
Coming out of Robinsons saloon the
drunken trio staggered up against an
old man, and without the slightest
provocation Bill Viccors struck him,
landing him on his back in the street.
Just at that time Jack Miller happened
along and witnessed the brutal and un-
called-for act. He ran to the old mans
assistance and helped him to his feet,
leading him back to the sidewalk. Mil
Ter, with a laugh, which is character
istic of him when fully aroused to an
ger, said in an assuring tone, Old man,
no one shall touch you while am here
Miller drew his revolver and clench-
ing 1t tightly by the butt with his left
hand, turned to Bill Viccors and coolly
said to him, That was a damned cow
ardly trick
'Viccors did not reply, and as he did
not show any fight Miller turned and
walked away.
Bill, I'll fix that ID pup before
he leaves this town." said Egan to
Viccors.

why women Faint.

When a woman faints in church, al
most the first suggestion is, "Cut her
corset strings" Everybody knows what
the trouble is. The poor creature can
not breathe. It is not because the air is
SO bad that she faints. In that case
everybody would be affected. 1t is be-
cause she is SO CONSTRUCTED by her cloth
ing that she cannot breathe the air that
is there. When a man faints in church,
who ever heard of the suggestion,
"Split up the back of his vest?" There
is no such thing as wearing corset
without injury, since we are not made
of wood or stone or something too hard
to be harmed by bandaging. The soft.
yielding body that responds to the
slightest pressure cannot be subjected
to any restriction without damage.

There was some complaint a few
years ago about an inferior grade of
armor plate furnished the govern
ment by one Andrew Carnage which
had it not been discovered in time
might have been the cause of quite
different results in our late naval
fights. However this false patriotism
quite harmonizes with the late ut

that the natives Of the Philippines
would shoot down our soldiers and
