Quarantine Restrictions Interfered

After being closed three weeks, in

yesterday morning for work in all the

After the holiday recess the school
was not opened for the reason that
scarlet fever in mild form made its
appearance in the town and in the
country neighborhoods. The health
authorities took the matter in hand at
once, and rigid quarantine was in
augurated.
Last week it was thought that the
school could be opened. but two new
cases developed, and the directors, act

keep the school closed for another

generally realized that the only true

stamping out the disease was through
quarantine regulations. and no COM

Removal Of Jute Tariff.

The Walla Walla Commercial

the discussion of measures leading to
the repeal of the present tariff on jute
and grain bags.
At the present time the tariff sched-

sand and it is with the view of getting
this tariff removed that Mr.. Stone has
become interested in the matter, and
succeeded in having the Walla Walla

0. R. 8 n. REFUSES TO PAY.
Brin Suit In Walla Walla to Set
Aside Assessment.

The Walla Walla Bulletin says
An action was begun in the United
States Federal court this morning by
the 0. r. g. N. Railroad company to
restrain the county of Walla Walla
from collecting excess taxes now delin
quent for the year 1904, in the sum of
$40. .351.8O.
In it's complaint filed in The office OF
Deputy United States Clerk E. E.
Wright the o. R. g N. company sets
up the allegation that its taxes for
1904 were raised by the board of
equalization from $7500 to $40, 900
per mile and it tenders the amount of
taxes on the valuation made by the
assessor. The total amount of tie
taxes for the year 1904 on the valuation
set by the board OF equalization
amounts to $35. .646.39.
While all the reasons in the com.
plant are of technical nature, it is
understood that the railroad company
is preparing to make a vigorous fight
to avoid the payment of taxes on a
valuation Of $4,000 mile. This ID
borne out by the array of legal talent
representing the road.

Mr.. Barrett Again Secures a
Carload in Portland.
LOAD FELL SHORT THREE TONS
Doors Were Open and Fuel Had
sifted Through Openings Of Stock
Car in Which Coal Came.

The second car load of coal to arrive
In Athena this winter, was received
Friday night, and by dark Sunday
night every pound of it had been
doled in lots weighing from 500
pounds down to 200 pounds.
Like the first car, the second was
consigned from Portland by Hon. U.
A. Barrett, who personally, made an.
plication to the o. r. g. N. railway
officials for the fuel.
The first carload held out in weight
and was distributed in small lots at
$3.50 per ton. The second carload
did not hold out in weight. In this
instance the coal was shipped in
stock car. When it arrived in Athena
the doors were open and the appear
ance indicated that some one had
helped himself to generous supply of
the fuel somewhere along the route.
In addition to this, much of the fine
coal had sifted through the sides of
the stock car while in transit, the re-
suit Eeing that the car fell short in
weight about three tons. This neces-
STATED charge on the coal of $500
per ton to break even on the cost.
Mr.. Barrett writes that it was with
much difficulty that he was enabled to
get this carload of coal, because Of
the fact that the railroad company is
in dire straights for fuel, and it is
possible that this is the last coal that
will he brought to Athena this winter.

A sugar factory Is a great institu-
ton, and 1t was a source of surprise
to many of the visitors, that 1t is a
thing of such magnitude. One Of the
things that impressed all was the ire
mendous stack of six million pounds
of sugar. A great warehouse piled
to the roof with rows and rows Of
sacks, laid as evenly as the stones
in the walls of skyscraper. They
surveyed the width of the stack, and
promenaded up and down the corri-
der to get the length Of it. Other
things of special interest were the
great stream of beets flowing from
the bins to the slicer, and the centri-
fugals that took strong brown sugar,
and almost in twinking, brot forth
great band of fine white sugar. Most
of the party expressed surprise at be-
ing requested to take off their wraps

raving 1t Is boiling so hard. Now
l draw out some OF the foming, see
thing syrup, and you can hold your
finger in it without pain. We make
great saving of heat in every way
we can. We save every bit Of hot
water about the plant, and utilize it
where hot water is needed. We
save all the steam we can, and con-
dense it to use where pure water is
needed.
when the syrup is boiled down
thick enough to form crystals, the
process is conducted very carefully,
to develope as many small crystals
as possible in the syrup. Then it
is held in this condition while the
crystals develop. They feed up
on the syrup, taking to themselves
the sweets in the syrup, and 1t Is
crystals we want. First we have
juice, then thick liquor, then syrup,
then crystals, and the more crystals
we can get the better, There are
ten tanks revolving very slowly, that
contain crystals and syrup, and the
syrup is feeding the crystals. 1t
is finally drawn from the tanks or
crystalizers, into the centrifugals,
which are cylinders, open at the top,
but with screen forming the sides.
They receive the crystals that look
like ordinary brown sugar wet
enough to give it the consistency of
mush, and the centrifugals whirl at
a speed OF 100 revolutions per
minute. The syrup goes out thru
the screen, driven by the whirling
speed and the crystals remain. This
process is aided by having spray of
water turned on, and the mass turns
from brown to white, the syrup leav-
ing it and the white crystals alone
remaining.

sweets from the beet fiber and leaves
it in the water in solution. 1t Is then
drained off, and the juice is treated
to get the sweets into crystals, while
the pulp is carried up thru an ele-
vator and dumped into a trough
with a stream of water passing thru
it, and carries it out to the pulp pit
few hundred feet away, where it
is deposited for use as stock food.
The pit is 4Oox6OO feet in size and
about ten feet deep, floored with
planks, and during the winter sea-
son feeders of sheep and cattle haul
away the pulp to feed to stock.
