Big Elevator and Mill for
Grain to be Opened at
Alexandra.


of the most important enterprises
which has been launched here for
some time, and ono which will be
of great benefit and advantage to
tho planters and farmers of Gen.
trail Louisiana, is the largo grain
and feed elevator to be established
in this city by the Alexandris Mill
and Elevator Company.
The plant will be ready to begin
operations about Aug. ID.
The ravages of tho boil weevil
having demoralized conditions in
this section to such an extent and
rendered the planting of cotton 90
uncertain and Improbable, several
enterprising local business man
capitalists got together to devise
some plan whereby the raising of
some other crop might be render
ed profitable by the creation of a
ready market for it's purchase, and
it was decided to organize q stock
company to purchase and handle
grain and feed for export.
The plant when completed will
cost about $4,000 and will have .
daily capacity of 1900 sacks of
coru chops, 70 barrels of corn meal,
800 sacks of mixed feed, 200 sacks
of bran and shorts. The officers
of the company are: A. V. Neil
son, president; W. j. Hardtner,
vice-president; A. AlheI, secrsta-
ry. The plant will be located in
Julia street on the joint tracks Of
all the railroads entering the city
Tho mill will contain machinery
which will make it especially sdsp.
ted to the handling of the native
corn. 1t will have All up-to-datt
kiln dryer, 80 if corn is in bad con
ditiou it can be dried and preser-
we'd without loss or damage.
The company will be in the mari
ct to buy all corn, or will shuct
and shell it for a nominal price.
Owing to the fact that Alexan
dria is situated in the exact center
of the State and at the sOuther,
end or extremity of the corn belt
it was considered by the promoter
of the enterprise to BE- an ideal 10
cation for such a plant.
Freight rates have been arrau
ged 80 as to sell at export withou
additional cost. For instance,
planters desire to bring their corr
to the local plant TO be sbucke'
and shelled, it can DO reshippe,
for export at the same rate charge
from the originating point-121
cents per hundred. 1t require
$4,000 pounds of shelled corn t.
make q carload, while N,OO
pounds will fill q car before it i
shocked and removed from til
cob.
| The establishment of this plan
here has given a stimulus to tn
planting of corn in this section
and the increase in the acreag
planted 10 that cereal is large
than for many years.
I'VE have received hundreds O
letters from people who have corr
for SALE" said President Nelson
I'VE expect fully 100000 bushel
of corn brought 10 by wagon
from the surrounding country. W,
would, however. advice the plan
tors not to ship their corn too ear

After the action taken Thursday the
liquor men decided that they could on
ly save the bill by taking the sole
course left to them in the emergency
by whipping enough Senators into
line TO assure majority vote on n
motion to reconsider the action of
postponement This was agreed upon,
and Quinn, Baker and Makekau were
pledged to support the bill-a remark
able and sudden change from the posi-
tion they had assumed by voting for
postponemcnt Thursday afternoon.
BY the rules of the Senate the mo.
tion to reconsider had to be made by
member that voted with the majority,
and Makekau was decided upon as the
spokesman--hi his motion to be seconded
by Quinn.
This plan was carried out, as was
predicted in the Advertiser yesterday

amended to read "by the Legislature" "
instead of "by the Senate;' the bill

on the floor of the Senate that he was

The Senator stated that he could not

that he thought the bill should be
printed again in full with the commit

Moore bill that were not changed--all
incorporated presenting the measure so
IL could be understood. " But n
minute later Makekau voted to pass =
bill on second reading which he had
just admitted tsat he could not under.

The DETECTION of Quinn was de.

day, and they Immediately determined
that Baker, Makekau and Quinn should
understand at once that the bill must
be sent past second reading at any
cost and public opinion left to care
for itself. Their efforts resulted in the
action of yesterday.

BOYD HAS REVENGE
AND IS PAID ALSO

Robert N. Boyd loves his country
too much to see it get the worst of it
over the Nuuanu dam or any other
place. A great deal of his great aloha
has developed since he was fired
short time ago from the Department of
Public Works, but it grew strong
enough about that time to drive him
to members of the Legislature to tell
them where the money was going in
the Nuuanu dam work. He appeared
before the special committee investi-
eating the dam and told them a great
many things that he had been able
to learn while employed in the Public
Works Department, but which had not
struck him in all their Nervousness
until the department decided to get
along without his services.
Before that committee he offered to
get the data and evidence to support
his charges. He was told to go ahead.
1t would never do to allow such pa
triotism to be checked by appearing to
think that it was not important.
BOYD got busy and has presented a
report for the committee, as straight
AS some of the lines he ran on Maui
and about as long, He was thanked by
the legislators, but yesterday there ap-
peared a bill before the committee to
be o. X ed. 1t was from Mr.. Boyd
for services rendered. His giddy pa
triotism had not carried him to the
point where he could afford to get even
with his superiors. for firing him with
out being paid. The members of the
special committee allowed the bill, but
they are doing lot of thinking
