Railway Dock.

But little progress has been made
upon this structure this past week
owing to the pile driver getting too
close in shore on the high tide of last
week, since which time there has not
been tide enough to float it. This is
unfortunate for Mr. Daniel and the
Railway company. The abutment is
completed, and the dock work will
be rushed just as soon as a tide comes
in sufficient to float the driver.

First Ice Manufactured on
St Andrews Bay
Drawn Sunday.
PLANT NOW PREPARED TO FILL ALL
SIZED ORDERS.

II 10 Will plSdSuIc ludI the PILOT
announces the completion of Panama
City's first important industry, the 80
ton plant of the Panma Ice Company.
The ammonia was forced through the
pipes for the first time the latter part
of last week, and by Sunday there
was supply of clear pure ice in the
cans, and little was given out to
those who ''just had to have some. ="
The plant is equipped with a 80
ton absorption ice machine made by
the Columbus Iron Works, of CO.
lumbus, Ga, whose machines can be
found all through the United States
where ice is manufactured, from
Texas to New York, and in Cuba.
1t is claimed for the absorption
machine that a purer quality of ice is
made than by other systems, the
steam from which the water is pro-
cured not passing at any time through
oiled valves, or other places where
impurities could be taken up by the
water.
Another valuable feature of these
machines is the low cost of building
required, only the most inexpensive
covering being necessary. All the
different parts of the machine stand
upon their own foundation, ONLY
carrying their weight, and if the
building be burned over them, the
machine remains but little injured.
The Panama Ice Company was or
gained but few weeks since and is
Differed as follows: O. +. Williams.
President; r. G.. Williams, Vice Presi-
dent; a. l.. Williams, Secretary and
Treasurer; and the following Board
of Directors: O. f. Williams, r. G..
Williams, A. l.. Williams and |. 4.
Hutchinson.
AS soon as organized they closed a
contract with the Columbus Iron
Works for the plant, which was
shipped in by the Tarpon, and the
work on the putting in the founda-
tons at once began.
The building erected is a wooden
frame construction, 81 feet by $50 feet,
with the boiler set in brick some little
distance from the main building The
brine vat is q feet by 81 feet, and
holds 6O2 two hundred pound cans.
The machinery is first class in
every respect, as good as can be
made by one of the best ice plant
manufactures in the world, and is
guaranteed to do the best of work.
The boiler is of $50 h. p.
1t took IS drums of ammonia, of $50
pounds each, to charge the plant,
and 1917 tons of salt went into the
brine vat.
Specimens of the ice turned out are
as clear as crystal and as pure as
science can make ice. Only dry steam
is used, and this passed through
cooling tubes which no impurity can
enter, and finally, just before going
into the cans, filtered through char
coal.
The work of erecting this plant has
been under the charge of P. H. Laffi-
teau, an expert ice machine engineer,
very thorough mechanic, and a
congenial gentleman. He has been
with the company many years, and

ness Of the Post-ofce Department and
the postal service be under a director Of

various parts of the country 10 supervise
the work of those sections; that non
money order post-offices, some $1,000 in
number. be not required 10 make detailed

der accounts be merged; that postal notes
