SHAT, the McEwan Bros. had purchased
HIhe Henry Smith farm at Maiapardis.
This adjoined previous purchases and
gives them large acreage In that
vicinity. Some time ago they pnr-
chased the Shipman property ana
pond. It is their intention to repair
the dam and food In all about twenty
acres with the fine spring water OF
Malapardis brook. Then they will
erect an ice house about a thousand
feet long with capacity Of sixty OF
seventh thousand tons Of ice, filling
the house in the winter and shipping
over the MOrristown 8 Erie to New
JERSEY towns. In order to accommo-
date this traffic, a branch of the NAL

The old experimental brick machines
have been taken out and a new ma
chime wBsaa a guaranteed capacity OF
thirtp-fiHe thousand brick per pay rs
being set up. Two large steam drying
rooms are finished and two more WILL
be erected. The brick are taken into
these xcosns immediatelyafter leaving

linainaEy drying under cover Two
more kilsas are IN course Of erection, "a

is being enclosed-s so that work can be
carried GA during the entire year.
AT the UniQae Folding Box Com

The McEwan Bros are putting IN
filter system All the Malapardis mills,
The a,pparatus saves the large amount
of pulp. which formerly ran from the
machines to the stream and will also
permit the same waterrto be used over
and over again in the manufacture OF
pulp boards.
Extensive improvements are also
under way at the sand pit on the rail-
road Just over the line from Morris
township. The owners are trying tc
lessen the amount of labor required
to screen and load into cars the sand
shipped from there The large sand
screen has been moved and set immed-
lately over the track, so that sand will
fall from it into the cars while the
gravel will pass down a chute into
cars standing ON "a parallel track,
The screen is so located that small
cars running on a marrow guage rail-
road can be hauled easily from the
sand bank and emptied into the screen
hopper. The railroad tracks are be-
ing moved and extended SO that the
strains Of empty cars can be pushed
into the yard at the top of the grade
and will run by gravity to the screen,
and then on to the main line below.
Itis expected that two trains can be
loaded very day.
A waxing plant has recently been
added to the equipment of the Muir
papAr mill.
