Mary Dodge III Port.

The American schooner Mary Dodge
arrived Tuesday night, twenty days out
from Eureka The little schooner had
fine weather during the whole passage,
but only light and variable winds from
northerly to easterly directions which
did not send the vessel very much
ahead. A large dolphin was caught
which according to the officers and the
crew proved most excellent eating, but
otherwise the voyage was duh and I'M
eventful.
The Dodge carries a cargo of lumber
there being about 225,OOO feet in all.
The whole shipment is consigned to
Levers & Cooke. The schooner is al
present discharging at the Esplanade
wharf

SEN He American barkentine Irmgard
arrived in port yesterday after
A noon and laid up to the Irmgard
wharf at about 4:30 p. m. The Irmgard
had pleasant and uneventful trip from
San Francisco, making the voyage in
sixteen days.
During the first four days out OF port
the winds were remarkably favorable
and everyone expected that the Islands
would be in sight in about ten days
but the fine weather was followed by
Gains, which lasted for nearly week.
The Irmgard made quite stay on
the Coast. She arrived in San Fran
cisco while the strike was as yet IN
it's height, and she had considerable
trouble and delay in getting discharged
She also got an entirely new crew, with
the exception of the second mate VINO
remained on the ship.
During the voyage nothing of interest
happened except the capture OF SHARK
nv some of the crew. The monster was
about thirteen feet and was caught on
a common large fish-hook.
The Irmgard brought only one pas
senger Miss Roselyn Waldron of this
city, who has made the round trip from
this port to San Francisco and back on
the vessel. There is also large con-
signment of stock on board, there being
in all eleven mules for Schuman and
274 hogs. One mule and one porker died
during the voyage.
The Irmgard reports that the sehoon-
er Helene left San Francisco day and
a half before the Irmgard. 1t is also
reported by the officers of the vessel
that on passing Molokai heavy showers
were seen falling on that island.

gine or horse, Is now frequent. the
grinder is illustrated with belt wheel
for power. but If desired crank and
fly wheel may be used and the grinder
operated by hand. The manner Of
making the hopper, attaching legs,
braces. etc, is well explained in the
complete illustration. The interior or
main working parts are shown in the
sectional cut. A" Is triangular
shaped strip of wood extending across
rear side of box, firmly nailed in place
behind the spiked cylinder b" which
revoIves and does the grinding, and
"Cr il another wooden strip having
teeth like the cylinder extending across
front side of box and fitted in grooves
or small strips at ends Of hopper in
such d way as to serve as an adJusta-
bic concave. The cylinder teeth may
be ordinary u penny spikes, the heads
cut off. the remainder Of spikes driven
into cylinder, leaving about one-half
inch projecting and the projecting ends
filed sharp, but it win be better to
make teeth of one-quarter inch square
bar iron cut 2aI or 8 inches long, one
end OF each tooth flattened ON an anvil,
chisel shape. and cooled while redhot
by immersion in cold salt water. The
other ends OF teeth may be cut with q
screw thread and teeth screwed into
the cylinder. leaving one-half an inch
or SO OF the chIsel end projecting. The
distance the cylinder teeth are placed
apart and the position OF the movable
concave. the teeth OF which should in
tcrsect those OF the cylinder, will de-
tcrmfnc degree OF fineness to which
the roots may be reduced.

illustration of the completed grinder IL

EUROPE WANTS FLAX.
Americas Opportunity to supply IL.
Prices Exorbitnnt.

Prices ExOrDffunt
There never was a more opportune
time to introduce American fax into
Europe than the present
The annual fax markets in Decem-
Der at Breslau, Germany. and Traute-
nau, Bohemia, were largely attended,
but very little business was transact
ed ON account of the exorbitant prices
of raw fax. Russian raw fax is GO
ing up in price daily, and it is evident
that the material ON hand in Europe
will not cover the demand for con-
sumption.
The fax harvest of Russia this sea
son is probably 40 per cent less than
that of last year, although the harvest
of 1899 fell short of being an average
one. The worst feature about Russian
flax Of this season is now disclosed-it
is not only wanting in quantity, but
also in quality. The price of the raw
material this year has increased three
fold compared with previous years
1t has been said by growers and deal
ers that four years of good harvests in
Europe will be necessary to bring fax
down to a normal price.
At the present time Russian fax
meets with no effective competition in
Europe. The fax spinners Of Germany,
Belgium, Austria, France, Great Brit
ain and Italy are chiefly dependent on
Russian fax. the production OF raw
fax In those countries being only an in
significant percentage of their ccnsump
ton.
The spinners of Germany, Austria,
Belgium and France have made an
agreement that on and after Jan. j,
1901, only s. per cent of their spindles
shall be operated.
Austrian fax spinners have united
and bought one of the largest Bohe-
mian mills, with 10000 spindles, with
the positive agreement that the ma
chimes are to be sold and that the mill
shall never again engage in the spin
ming of fax.
All this trouble arises solely from
want Of raw fax. European flax spin
ners hope that American growers will
take advantage of this opportunity TO
introduce fax into Europe.
1t Is certain that American fax could
at all times successfully meet Russian
competition. IT was only the other day
that | learned from 4 German fax ex-
pert that the American fax fiber on the
average is much superior TO the Rus
sian.

Colonies are frequently found not on
