a tensile strength of $50 pounds when

pounds. An inch cube briquette, con-
sisting of one-fourth cement and three
fourths sand, tested $50 pounds in
seven days and 392 pounds in four
weeks. These tests are regarded re-
markable, from the fact that no cement
in the world, not excepting the foreign
manufactured product, will excel this
record. The same samples also with

FISH MONOPOLY BROKEN.
Interests Of Late R. D. Hume to Be
Sold at Public Sale.

Marshfeld-The monopoly of the fish
ing rights held for so many years by
the interests of the late r. d. Hume
will soon be broken, as the entire es-
tate is to be sold at private sale this
month. After Mr.. Hume's death the
fisheries and cannery were closed, but
were opened for short time this fall.
On account of the approaching sale, the
fisheries were closed after 400 cases of
canned salmon had been shipped. Since
they were closed, the Union Fisheries
company is said to have made haul
with seines which netted 1900 fish.
The gasoline schooner Gerald c.,
which was formerly owned by the Hume
estate, has been sold, and has made her
last trip to Rogue river. She will be
taken to Astoria.
For over 80 years R. D. Hume con-
trolled the fishing rights, owning both
sides of the river for 12 miles up from
the bar. He had his own fish hatchery
and canning plant, and made fortune
out of the business. The people in the
Rogue river valley assert that it is the
finest fishing stream in the country.

Telling Cocoa from Chocolate.

The consumer often wonders what
is the difference between cocoa and
chocolate. Both are manufactured
from the Identical bean. but In cocoa
the butter has been extracted and
chocolate has other substances mixed
with 1t. Cocoa Is thus more easily d.
gested, but not so rich and alluring.
The butter when extracted is sold to
druggists for various purposes, chiefly
that Of skin-food.
The first process in the manufacture
OF chocolate or cocoa Is cracking the
bean, which Is done by machinery and
air. The blast of air blows the shells
out, as they are lighter than the meat.
and thus, after cracking, the separa-
ton Of the fragile shell from the nutri-
tive nut Is absolute.
The bean is roasted and ground into
paste by hot machinery. This is the
only cooking" the chocolate gets.
At this point the differentiation
takes place between cocoa and choco-
late. The latter consists. of cocoa
meat, vanilla and sugar. Various ma
chimes (steam-power, not electric)
crush up the vanilla bean with the
cocoa bean and sugar.

Squatters Make Filings.

Observation-Disclosures 40 men have fled
homestead claims in townships "a and
20, range o. It was unsurveyed land,
the survey of which has been accepted,
and those who filed were persons who
had squatted on the land some years
ago. There was little opportunity for
new homesteaders, for the reason that
scrip has been placed on all of the land
by the Northern Pacific and other large
interests. Those who filed for home
steads claim that they have squat
ter's right, and some declare they will
take the cases to court to defend their
claims.
