primitive Roller Mills Operated by HUI

which a man seated on a stool on one
end of the box jerks back and forth until
only the bran is left. This primitive
method serves instead of the American
boiling machines used In our mills.
Although Chinese labor is so remark
ably cheap, yet the tediousness and la
boriousness Of this method of making
flour, entirely by human labor, is so ex-
pensive that the wheat -four made in this
way costs them from three and half to
four cents per pound, and as such sum
is about half days wage for the labor
ing man, 1t makes wheat -four entirely
beyond the reach of the common people.
In order to supply the demand for a
cheap -four, the Chinese habitually mix
their wheat with peas, beans or millet
before grinding 1t. but even these cheap
ened fiours cost more than the average
grade fours in America
The Four Track News says that, with
out considering the difference in quality
and fineness, American flour can be ex-
ported from our Pacific coast and sold in
China cheaper than the cheapest grades
of native -four
It Is easy to see what great field will
ultimately be found in China for Ameri-
can mill machinery, and IL American
millers would take pains to manufacture
grade Of -four especially for the Chi
nese market. cheapening the wheat pro-
duct by large adulteration Of corn, an
immense market would be found at once

August Belmont denied that the to whom
the term of bookmake- Is applied received any
special permission or officially recognized or

When the Percy Gray law enacted in 1896
it was known that the organizations operating the
racetracks could not exist alone on the gate re-

sociation, understanding that the normal gate
ceipts were insufficient to make the tracks pay
had made IL a practice to purchase each

which were regularly turned into the box office
and considerably augmented the total income of
the track.
In prefacing this part OF his testimony, Mr.. Bel
mont said he had never been in the betting ring
but once. He admitted that betting did take place
at the tracks said Robert Pinkerton en-
ployed by the Metropolitan racetracks look
after that part OF IT. He declared that with

Fire was discovered about $50 O'Clock yester-
day in the Ottendorfer pagoda, on the bluff

city since its condemnation account OF the
union of Riverside Drive and Boulevard La

known The building. which is about forty feet
high has been deserted for some time. and it is
supposed that tramps, using it as a refuge,
caused the blaze. The damage by fire was 50

After dinner Mr. Ottendorfer usually led his
guests to the garden seats in front of the pa

the sunset on the Palisades. across the river
and the changing colors of the river below
After Mrs Ottendorfer died the mansion was
closed. and the pagoda locked and barred. Mr..
Ottendorfer was seen no more about the place.
