which operates the ammonia compres-
 sor and freezes the ice. Also this
 room contains the ammonia compress
 or. the brine pumps. the water filter
 and freezing tanks. besides a great
 many hundred feet of pipes of various
 sizes. The freezing tanks contain 24O cans, each of which freeze 300 pounds
 of ice every 48 hours. The machinery
 and equipment of this ice plant is strict
 ly modern and up-to-date in every way
 An idea of the extent of this machinery
 can be inferred from the factthat there
 are l4,42O feet of piping included in 1t.
 This pipe is of all sizes from 6 inch
 mains down to little 3.4 inch drain
 pipes, but 1 ,24O feet of it is 1 IA
 inch pipe and Is used to circulate brine
 through the refrigeration and ice stor-
 age rooms. This vast system of pipes
 is controlled by l39 valves, so the op-
 eratton of any part of 1t can be handled
 without interfering In any way with any
 other part. The ice plant has been
 operated day and night since June lst and has turned out very close to twenty tons of Ice every 24 hours since it was started. This output however, Is far below the demand. as just at the pres ent time there Is close to l5O tons of ice per day being used in shipping can taloupes alone and several tons in do- mestic use. The Brawley cantaloupe growers are supplied altogether the present season with ice shipped in from Los Angeles and even Holtville and Fl Centro growers have to resort to the expedient of shipping in Ice at the pres ent time to Ice cars for their canta- loupes. At the present time about 20 carloads of cantaloupes per day are be- ing shipped out of this Valley and as It takes at least 7 tons of ice for each car 1t can be seen what an enormous de- mand for ice is already established.
 There will be at least 5000 tons of Ice used in shipping the present canta- loupe crop and the prospects are that at least double this amount will be needed next year, as the cantaIouoe crop will no doubt be doubled. If the Ice can be furnished here in the Valley me refrlgerator car lines will not ship Il in. With the machinery they have ana the facilities they possess, the Holton Power company can manufac- -ure Ice just as cheaply as it can be 10ne anywhere in Southern California. ne advantage of freight and shrinkage hey have over the ice from the out 'lde IS so great as to give them the market and leave a wide margin for 'folit besides From present indica- ions It IS fair to assume that this Val ey will consume l5.OOO tons of ice per year after the present season. The capacity of the present machinery in inc HoIton Power company's ice plant $ less than 1000 tons per year. They therefore find the demand greater than 'ney can supply and with an absolute

ber of electric fans and a power line operates the machinery for the Holt vile cantaIoupe growers association and as soon as a motor can be in stalled will pump the water for the town.
 At CaIexico. as we have already noted. the installation of a lighting and power system has been delayed by the serious menace through which the town has passed But the Holton Power company has already built their substa- ton there and have theIr transformers and equipment for it and matlrial for putting In the distributing electric light and power system for the town just as soon as matters resume ther normal condition and the town IS ready to re- ceive them. It will thus be seen that there is already being used by the in- dustries now operating with it a total of about l25 horse power of electricity exclusive of the power used by the Holton Power company in its own en- terprISes. And with the development of this Valley the market for this power will be practically unlimited or at least limited only by the capacity of the Holton Power company to furnish it. The company has adopted a broad and liberal policy in its dealings with all the towns of the Valley and is furnishing lights and power at a uniform price in all the towns. And that price is the same schedule as is charged in the other towns of California. With the development of the Valley and the growth of Its industries and towns, the demand for both power and lights will increase many fold. The liberal policy the company has adopted will be fol- lowed out by them and will keep pace with the development of the Valley and the establishment of new enterprises that will use lights and power will be encouraged in every way possible.
 The Holton Power company offers to the public power and lights of the most attractive and reliable kind and at prices that cannot be duplicated by anyone else. While the opportunities offered by the company for other cap italists to establish enterprises in the Valley are most advantageous it has not waited for others to do the pioneer work in putting in these industries.
 While outside capitalists with less knowledge of this wonderful Valley and consequently less confidence in its fu- ture were hesitating to establish indus tries till the growth of population and business should produce a demand for such Mir Holt and his associates in the HcIton Power company have gone ahead and invested large sums of mon
 ey in this very work. Having been closely identified with the settlement of this Valley from the very first and connected with Its every development. MT. Holt was in the best position of anyone to see the opportunities winch the growth of business presented. And one of the most profitable and most urgently demanded enterprises that

A COFFEE BOOM
IN THE FIFTIES

w. S. Terry thought he knew the
history of coffee on this island when
he left here for the mainland a few
months ago, says the Hilo Herald, but
when be got back to his birthplace in
Massachusetts he met people who
came here in the years before Mr.
Terry began 20 think of Hawaii. who
convinced him that there was a por-
ton of the history missing.
Mrs. Braley, wife of Captain Braley
of New Bedford. was in Hawaii as far
back as 1857. There was a boom in
coffee then, but a blight had just made
it's appearance and the people did not
know how to account for it's presence
nor why the coffee was not the sue
cess it had promised. At that time
there were trees all around Hilo and
some of the planters thought it might
be due to the fact that the trees were
planted too near the salt air. Mrs.
Braley visited Onomea during that
year and became familiar with the
conditions in Hawaii at that time. All
OF the coffee grown in this section in
those days was packed and shipped
under the name OF kona coffee and
there was quite a demand for it on the
Pacific Coast

RAT FIGHT
Rodent Draws Blood
and DiscreetIy
Retires.

There was great excitement at the
| Zoo yesterday morning and those pres
ent about IL o'clock witnessed a re-
| markable encounter between Japa-
nese macaque monkey and a large rat.
Professor Thompson on making his
round of inspection early discovered a
shortage of four birds in the dove
cage. Blood-stained feathers on the
floor of the cage indicated the work of
a rat.
No quarter is shown rats at the Kali
muki geological establishment and a
Jap was ordered to dig the rat out OF
a hole which evidently led to its home.
Kubo. after digging a while, thrust
his hand into the hole and quickly
withdrew it with a bleeding digit. Mr..
Rat was at home
The rodent was next prodded with a
stick and emerging from the hole,
darted by means of an underground
ge into the monkeys cage.

The little creature lay stunned for
