Town Council Proceedings.

COlfax. La, June IL, 1907.
The council of the town OF COlfax
met this day pursuant to adjourn
ment, w. l.. Richardson, mayor, pre-
siding, and the following members
present: H. G. GOODWIN. w. b. Gar
rett, H. Easterbrook and. l..
Fletcher.

ings were read and approved.
Mr.. j. III. McNeely appeared before
the council and asked that the COlfax
Cotton Oil Co., Ltd, be exempted
from town taxes for a period OF ten
years, provided the company locates
its mills within the town limits. He
explained that the directors at pres
emit had about four locations in view,
and it was probable that the matter
of exemption from town taxes would
be a considerable item toward infiu-
encing the s,lec ion Of site for the
mill within the town limits.

ceived and action on same deferred
until another meeting.

sun is warmer there and the sap flows more freely. Later the buckets are shifted to the other sides.
 After the holes are. bored a galvan- ized iron spout Is driven in. This spout is furnished with a hook on which the buckets are hung. The buckets are usually Of bright tin, and most of them are provided with covers to keep out leaves and bits of bark.
 It takes about seven or eight quarts of sap, on an average, to make pound of sugar, and an average tree yields six pounds It varies, however. the To- cation of the tree having an important influence on the proportion of sugar in the sap. For instance, a tree near a brook yields more sap but less sugar than one standing or dry knoll
 The sap is gathered by means of large casks or holders fastened to a sled, drawn by~ox or horses. It is then taken to the boiling house, usually in the center of the orchard, where it is placed in shallow eyaporating pans. These are arranged with alternate di- visions which run nearly across the pan, thus forming long course ex- tending in a zigZag line the whole length of the evaporation. The sap runs in slowly at the upper end and runs out sirup at the lower The latest in- proved evaporators have cover and are self skimming, two features which practically eliminate all impurities.
 If the maker Is selling his product as sirup, he reduces it to a weight of ten or eleven pounds to the gallon. When making dry sugar, the sirup is placed fin the sugaring off pan, where it is boiled until it will grain. If the sirup is to be made into bricks. it is boiled a little longer than if intended for dry sugar.
 Vermont has established a maple suger exchange, which has secured legislation to prevent adu!teration, and the practice has been pretty generally stamped out. Every pound of sugar and every quart of sirup which has the exchange brand must conform tG test 1f saccharine quality and must be ab. solutely correct in color and flavor.
 The worst competitor of the maplt sugar industry is an artificial sugal made in some western states. This Is 6 lecoction of ordinary brown sugar and ' hickory chips boUled together.

SAVES MANY PASSENGERS.
(By The Associated Press

Victor, Colo. April 24.--A thrilling race down a mountain side saved a train load of passengers by a margin of four seconds. At Eclipse, on the Florence and Cripple Creek railroad, a loaded freight car broke loose. with Brakeman Lund on top. As Lund ap- piled the brake the chain broke and the car started again at terrific clip.
 Conductor Blondy, on an engine di- rooted by Engineer Rush, undertook to capture the car to prevent a col lision with a suburban train due to leave Anaconda about the same time.
 After wrapping a message around a lump of coal Blondy hurled it through the window at Eclipse station. The operator succeeded in holding the pas senger train as it was pulling out of Anaconda.
 The pursuit of the freight car was now on in earnest, engine and car talk ing the serpentine track at full speed, although 1t seemed impossible to hold to the rails on the sharp curves. The car was overtaken four seconds from Anaconda. Conductor Blondy made a coupling from the pilot, the aid brake was applied and the runaway WAS brought to a stop.

 Makers and dealers declare that the price of maple sirup this year will be much higher than last.
