announced proudly that the farmers near

Must Be No Halt.

While public sentiment IS demanding
the improvement of waterways, il would
be unwIse for the great interests Of the
Ohio Valley TO conclude that because of
the uDquestioned arousing of public
sentiment there ~ no further need for
active work on behalf Of the Ohio River.
The question Of the improvement Of the
Ohio is paramount in the Six Ohio
River States, but IL must be remembered
that there are other great questions be-
fore Congress and that the relative i'm
pOrtance and strength of a question is.

tent work of constituencies on their

senting their respective States.

the locking and damming OF the Ohio

answerable but overwhelming. It's direct

NUMBER 8
DECLARES ELECTION VOID
On Account OF EmblemS Not np.
D6drin0 on the Ballots.

The city council met Tuesday
night pursuant To an adjourned
meeting for the purpose of recount
ing the votes cast at the recent In,i-
nicipal election. On opening the
ballot box for the recount, ATTORNEYS
for the Citizens Partey moved that
all ballots which did not contain a
party emblem be thrown out The
council then went into executlvS-
session To consider the matter, aud
after short deliberation sustained
the motion, declaring the election
void. The attorney tor the Peoples
Progressive Party requested the
council to adjourn until January
2lst, stating or inlimating that he
would file bill of exceptions to
the ruling.
The whole trouble was caused by
The two parties not adopting par
ty emblem and having same appear
on the ballots. The law IN regard
to this matter is as follows
"The state executive committee
OF any political party In the state
shall select and adopt party
emblem for it's party and shall, at
least ninety days before any elec-
uon, certify the same to the clerks
OF the circuit courts of the several
counties of this state, and the emb-
lem adopted shall remain the same
until changed and certified az afore-
said but no two parties shall adopt
the same emblem; and when tick.
ct or person is nominated by petit
tion as provided by law, the petit
TONERS shall adopt and designate an
emblem which shall be set out in
said petition.
As both the local tickets wero
independent, as regards politics, the
question naturally arises, will
court hold that they are political
parties? AT any rate the circuit
land probably supreme) court will
be called upon to render decision
in regard to this matter. This
promises to be an interesting event
and both sides are bent on fighting
II to finish. Attorneys Elliott
Nortncott and X. f.. Williams, of
Huntington, and ). L. Clark, of
this city, are representing the Citi-
zens' Party, while Attorney Geo.F.
Wallace, of Huntington, is hooking
after the interests of the Peoples
Progressive Party.

ed out III the courts the old council

learn his views more fully. Both
men were very enthusiastic over the
prospects, and Mr.. Kellogg stated
that If he went into the business, he
proposed to go in on large scale.
Mr.. Thomas estimated that pine
apples ought to distill from 1875 to
$50 gallons of brandy per ton of
fruit. At the prices prevailing for
apricot and peach brandy, used for
blending purposes, this should leave
large profit for the distiller. In
addition, the distillation would en-
able him to work off Il large amount
of what is now waste, such as the
Feelings and cores and the second
grade fruit.
"If could got even $40 ton out
Of distiling pineapples," said Mr..
Kellogg, Il would can nothing but
the very best Of the pines. 1t is i'm
possible to make frst-class canned
pipeapples out of second-class raw
material. If | were running n dis
tillery, | would can nothing but the
very best Of the pines. Everything
else would go into the still. That
would enable me to build up a repu-
tation for my canned pineapples and
at the same time make a profit out
of the poorer material. The crop I
have in down at Wahiawa | estimate
via run about 10000 tons within
the next two years. About three
tons out of every ten are seconds,
which would go into brandy. That
would mean $4,000, at least, for
the brandy-almost enough to pay
my cannery expenses"
Mr.. Thomas is very confident that
Hawaii can build up a large and
profitable industry along this line.
1T seems to me-" he said, that pine
apples ought to ferment very easily.
The aroma from the distillation Is
very strong, and the brandy ought to
make a blending product superior to
the best grade of apricot brandy"
Mr.. Kellogg and Mr.. Rossi are to
have a conference over the matter,
and will go into 1t thoroughly.
