OLIVE GROWING IN SPAIN.

During recent years efforts have been
 made to improve the quality of the olive Toll produced in this country, so as to
 enable it to compete in foreign markets with the French and Italian oils, which are so universally appreciated, say the advance sheets of consular reports.
 Some measure of success has already attended these efforts, and this has en- couraged the leading Spanish oil crush CTS to spend money on Improvements in their machinery, with every prospect 1 of a good return. s A few particulars about the pro- duction of oil in Spain, and especially | the preserving of the olives, may prove of interest to olive growers in Cali lfornia, as it has been found that Span preserved than those from that State. The pickling of green olives is an in- lportant branch of industry in Spain. Besides the home consumption, which is large, some 6,00O to 7,50o tons, valued at about sSO0,0Oo, are annually exported. The olives are packed either in bottles or kegs. For picking, the green olives are carefully selected; all those that are in the slightest degree bruised | or damaged are rejected, as only the perfect fruit is capable of being pre- served. The selected olives are then placed in fresh water to soak for several days, care. being taken to change the water frequently; they are then put in | to the picking mixture, which is a solution of common salt and soda, the olives being entirely covered. This is the general method adopted, and though some manufacturers may slightly alter the solution used, and add to 1t certain aromatic substances. to flavor the olives, k the basis of the preparation is invari- ably common salt and and soda. f Ripe and half-riRe olives are pre- served only in small quantities, as there is little demand for them.
 As already mentioned, until quite re-
 gently little attention has been paid to
 the method of extracting oil in Spain,
 and consequently in many parts the
 most primitive means are still in use.
 It is usual for the small grower him.
 self to extract the oil from the olives
 grown on his land; and, as he frequent
 ly does not own the necessary appli-
 ances, he borrows them from the near
 est town, paying for their use either
 in money or oil. These machines are of
 the most primitive description. The olives are first crushed in mill turned
 by horse or bullock; they are then
 placed in lever presses and the oil thus
 extracted, boiling water being gen.
 orally used in process. These wooden
 presses, though powerful, are very slow,
 and 1t often happens that the olives
 have to be stored until the presses are
 available, with the result that fermen-
 tation sets in, and this naturally de-
 tracts from the quality of the oil. It is
 said that there are between three
 thousand and four thousand of these
 presses in Spain. Formerly the pulp re-
 maining in the presses was used as fod-
 der or fuel, but now it is sold and
 second extraction of oil is made from it.
 There are sixty-three mills in Spain for
 extracting oil from this pulp.

 The two men were brought up on the deck and lowered into twenty-foot yawlboat. They were supplied with two oars. a sail, a compass and a chart, be-. sides the provisions mentioned. The lines were then cast off and the two sailors were left to their fate. Hen drick was a good seaman. He got his bearing and with the aid of the chart and compass, headed fora Cozumel Yueatan, and was about ninety miles Island, which is just off the coast of from where the two had been set adrift. At 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon, just twenty-six hours after having been set adrift, they came in sight of the light house on CozumeI Island, At 10 o'clock that night they landed on the island, all most exhausted. Ihelr little stock or provisions had run very low and they were hungry. Except for a little Mexican village
 and two lighthouses; Cozumel Island is not settled. At the home of one of the
 Mexican villagers they obtained some | food and then started en their long walk across to St. MiehaePs. After twenty | If,sx> al,,z 1,s point, and af few days later were picked | up by a British sloop and taken to

 to prosecute the captain. They will go from here to Pensacola where they have friends. Hendrick is native of North

A Good ThinU.

Some people think it is good thing
to allow the Young American to be
unbridled on the 4th of July, and
permitted to fire crackers, shoot
rockets, throw torpedoes, bang toy
pistols, stamp go-devil 1anes, burst
the typanun ef the public ear, keep
the aged and weary from getting
rest and sleep. annoy the sick,
and die of lockiaw from injuries
resulting from their own hilarity:
and perhaps it is. 1t makes us SO
thankful that we have 384i days in
the year, don't forget the II in which
we can enjoy the inalienable rights
claimed for us in the Declaration of
Independence, vouchsafed to us in
the Constitution, and bestowed upon
us by a benefcient Creator, and be
thankful that the tom tom of the
young savage is beaten only for one
day.

Be CAREFUL!
The City Council Should
Be Cautious
About Approving Any Plan to
Lease Our Gas Works.

A proposition came to our city, a
week ago, to furnish us natural gas
at 1sc thousand. 1t was to be turn
ed into our gasholder at that figure,
and the city was to do the rest.
This gas to come from wells driven
on and near the Hunter farm, in
Bloomfield township, about fourteen
straight miles from Bellefontaine.-
1t is probable there is a good field
there.
The REPUBLICAN favored the prop
osition. 1t was safe one.
Another proposition has since been
made to lease our gas works, the city
to have the right to fix the maximum
rate to consumers at 25c.
We ask the Council to go slow about
accepting any such proposition. 1t
is quite different from the first propo-
sition, for several reasons:
This new proposition is, that the
city shall lease the gas works to a
company. This is Objectionable in
itself-would be in fact the entering
wedge for leasing our water works,
and all our public utilities. And
such a lease would easily drop into
the clutches of the Standard Oil
Trust.
1t is not nearly so favorable prop
osition as that first made. The first
proposition was at figure that would
make II desirable to use in our homes.
At Csc, for heating our houses it
would be too expensive. And yet,
under the last proposition, the maxi
mum limit would not necessarily be
25c, but it would surely be that or
more. A Council could allow a COM
pany to charge more.
The amount of gas now consumed,
per month, is over 2,O0O, 900 cubic feet
per month. At Is cents. three times
as much would be consumed. This
would cost the city $4,000 a month;
certainly a neat sum. But the city
could sell the gas to the people at 2oc
aud pay all expenses of manage
ment, collection, etc. At 25c it
would cost the city sis, 900, and make
gas too dear to be used freely for fuel.
The Council should proceed very
cautiously. They should not lease
the works and thus run up the price
to the people. They should not dis
pose of the works by leasing. They
should inform themselves as to the
cost of laying pipe, and driving our
own wells. If there is a gas field
there, we may tap it and furnish ga:
for our people at less than Is cents
We can do it for less than a company
can, as we have the pipes laid
to distribute 1t.
AS to the statement that the city
cannot pay a company to furnish gas
we would like to know, if it can make
a contract with a company for Goa
to make gas, why it cannot as vel
purchase the gas ready made; and il
It has a right to make gas and dis
tribute it..why it has not right to
buy gas and distribute it.
Let the Council have a care that
the best interests of the city are
served.

Death of Mrs. John W. Armstrong.

Mrs. Harriet Akey-Armstrong, wife
of Mr.. John w. Armstrong, of this
city, died Saturday morning, at her
home on Chillicothe avenue, after a
long illness of catarrh of the stom-
ach.
During her last severe sickness, she
was confined to her bed ten weeks,
but not until Wednesday did it occur
to her loved ones that death was so
near.
A husband, who is in very ill-health,
is greatly bereft by the loss of his
companion, and two sons and a
daughter mourn a gentle mother.
Miss Myrtle, the loving daughter,
has been constant in her devotion to
the dear one. and for years has held
her mother first, sacrificing pleasures
at all times to give pleasure to the
one who was more than all else to
her.
Mrs. Armstrong was a sister to
Mr.. Winfield Akey and to Mrs. Mary
Dickinson, and was an earnest Christ
ian always. A faithful member o.
the First Presbyterian church, :
kind friend, the best of neighbors
she will be greatly missed. The lavish
display of beautiful flowers at th'
funeral told of the love of he
friends. The services were conduct
ed by DIR. G. L. Kalb who had beel
her pastor for so many years.

Don't Mar the Streets. /

We trust the City Council will not
give ear to any proposition to make
crossings on our paved streets. They
would be useless, are not needed, and
would deface the streets. There
might be job in it, but no benefit.
They are not wanted and would spoil
the nice drives, be a needless ex-
pense and break up the well paved
street beds, and would be no cleaner
nor more solid than the streets. Let
well enough alone.
