The mill first started up in NoVem-
Der, 1900, with two paper machihes ~
work. In February, 1901, the Whoic
plant was ut work. There are no"
paper machines running. each loz lilch-

26O tons of newspaper daily, ana some
wall paper.
The paper machines and nearly the
whole mill, aside from the grlnderS' are

fire as thoroughly as plant can De-

and paper making.
Besides the 10000 horse power de-
veloped by the water power at TINS point

this plant 10000 tons of coal are re-
uuired annually, besides large quant1-
ties of wood. Several thousand CORDS
of this wood are shipped each year from
Eagle Lake over the Bangor and Aroos-
took railroad.
The number of employees at this plant
is about 500. They work in three shifts
of S hours each, thus making an hour
day. The outside men and the finish
ers are not included in the above ar
rangement and they work 10 hours Il
day. The men are paid twice a month
and the monthly pay roll amounts at
the present time to $4,000.
The amount of pulp wood required to
supply this mill is from 5O,000,000 to
60, OOO, 900 board feet annually. This is
cut mostly OH land owned by the COM
pany.
In the early days of making paper
from wood poplar WAS supposed to
make the best pulp, but spruce is now
considered superior to any other wood
for this purpose. Other woods, such
as hemlock, pine and fir. are used to
some extent, but spruce is recognized
as the great pulp wood of the world.

Average Yield Six to Ten Thousand
Flowers Daily.
Commercial carnation growing in
the northern middle west and eastern
parts Of this great country of ours has
been problem in economics, says the
Los Angeles Times. Outdoor growing
in the sections named is always con-
fined to limited times, or rather sea-
sons, and SO much of it has necessi-
tated dollhouse adjuncts that theories
vanished before the attacks of condi-
tiOns. The flower is one that has al
ways been popular and has been Gull
tured and specialized to almost a per-
fection, but never commercially salts
factory excepting to the interested
grower whose efforts became remuner-
alive upon the extreme demand and
limited supply.
To the stranger within the gates of
this State the carnation growing of
California becomes an object of the
greatest interest and a most satisfac-
tory sight The success of the enter
prise and the very simple and effective
style of cultivation make it another
marvel in this land of natural won
ders.
In brief. the carnation fields are
yielding on an average from 5000 to
10000 flowers every day in the year,
with market in which the demand is
at all times greater than the supply.
The plants are perpetuating. in a
sense, are propagated in the open
fields, cultivated with less labor than
ordinary crops. and are exempt from
insect pests and but rarely troubled
with disease, excepting ordinary fun
gus attacks.
The average life of field carnation
varies from two to three years. New
plants are taken in cuttings from the
old ones and put directly into the
ground. They take root in about four
weeks and In about ten months are in
bloom and continue to give their daily
quota of blossoms until they die out.
In planting the carnations are placed
in rows three feet apart and the plants
two feet from each other. This per-
mits the cultivation with horses and
once in healthy growth they require
only watchfulness for disease and In
sect pests, irrigation about every two
weeks and daily picking.

PROFIT IN ILLICIT STILLS.
No Prospect Of Cure of the Evil az
Long ae 1t PAYS So Well.

Long az 1t Pays So Well.
Although the makers OF illicit whis-
ky are punished by heavy fines when
ever they are detected, nearly all Of
them get rich. At least. few abandon
the occupation until they can retire
from it with competence. One Of
the most experienced of the federal
revenue inspectors. who has raided
scores of stills during his official ca
reer and who has had many battles
with the outlaws and heard the bull
lets from their guns whistle past him..
who has often crouched behind rocks
and stood behind trees, and who has
done his share in trying to stamp out
the miscreants, said recently in speak
ing of blockaders and poonshine
wnisky:
a. have been revenue officer for
about twenty-five or thirty years and
have seen all kinds of service, under
all kinds of circumstances, and don't
believe blockading or illicit distilling
will ever be stopped. The reason for
my belief, and l am not the only one.
Is simply this: There is such large
profit in the business that the temp
tation is too great for most of that
class of people regardless of the law,
not needing what has befallen fellow
moonshiners. Even forgetting that
they have once been caught or sds-
pected and that the eyes of the Off
GERS are on them, they go right ahead
and distill the grain. But at the same
time they are. on the lookout for raids,
and have their guns ever ready to
send piece of lead into their discov-
erer. They are good shots. too. hardly
ever missing when they nave fair
opportunity to take aim.
Il will give you an idea of how
cheaply moonshine whisky is made
and the immense profits that are reap
ed from its sale. They take one gall
lon of cheap black molasses, which
costs about 80 cents; two BUSHES OF
meal, costing 65 cents per bushel, and
some water. This is made into a
mash, allowed to ferment, and the
stuff then goes through the process of
evaporation. This amount of meal,
water and molasses makes four gal
Ions of whisky, which is sold for So
gallon. Any one can see the i'm
mense profit from this illustration.
"Latterly brown sugar has been
used instead of molasses, and is a
great deal cheaper. The sugar costs
about Az cents pound; there are 800
pounds in a barrel, making it cost
$3.50 per barrel. An immense
amount Of molasses is made from a
barrel of sugar, and the profit is al
most twice as great as in using the
first method. Distillers are captured
every day, and when they are sent to
prison others take their places. and
thus the perpetual flow of white
| lightning"
