Peter Sauer Dead

Everyone who has visited the copper
country and scores who have neve,
entered that region has heard OF Peter
Sauer. the Calumet miser. whose whole
ambition in life seemed TO be to ac.
quire more Calumet q Hecla stock.
Sauer conducted a saloon on the
main street of the village of Red Jack
ct and that saloon was as much OF n
curiosity as the proprietor. 1t was
a relic Of past days for Sauer decried
every move towards the modern.
Sauer died last Monday and his
death has been the subject of much
comment because Of the peculiarities
OF the man. He WAS the largest indi-
vidual holder of Calumet a. Hecla
stock, his exact holdings not being
known to anyone but himself.
Sauer was typical miser. he
reyeled in his wealth. His only am.
bition In life was to acquire more
stock and to attain that end he denied
all the comforts and many of
the necessities of life.

BRYAN CANDY COMPANY
Plant Now in Operation and Much
Fine Candy Being Turned Out.

The people of Bryan are evidently
not aware that they have in their
midst as up-to.date and complete
candy factory as is to be found in
Texas. The factory is owned by the
Bryan Candy Company composed of
C. H. Holmes, J. r. Smith, j. Ledge
and w. o. Holmes. The factory is To-
Gated in the Mrs. b. White building
next door to The Eagle office, and
occupies both floors.
In the front of the building a nice
office has been rallied off and imme-
diately back of this is large store
room with shelves along the walls
where the finished goods are stored.
Mr.. Marion Franklin is in charge of
this department as bookkeeper and
shipping clerk, and also superintends
the labelling of tho hundreds of boxes,
buckets and other packages of candy.
In the rear Of the building on the
first floor is a general wareroom, and
in this room a convenient freight ee-
vator has been installed to carry the
supplies to the work department up
stairs and to bring the the finished
product down.
Mr.. Smith, the manager, is an ex-
pert candy manufacturer of many
years experience, and showed The
Eagle reporter through the working
room which occupies the entire second
floor and is indeed busy place as
well as a revelation,
Here the large boiling kettles are
located, the large cooling stones, work
tables, moulding trays, drying racks,
and various other appliances and
equipment. Under direction of Mr..
Smith the actual work is done by the
Porterfeld brothers, two experienced
candy makers from Waco and Temple
They are assisted by George Pletzer,
of this city Next week two girls
will be added to the force, and others
will be added from time to time as
the additional machinery, already or
dered, arrives, When fully equipped
and running on full time, Mr. Smith
says, the factory will give employment
to thirty-five persons. This means that
the factory is to be great thing for
Bryan, and will swell the weekly pay
roll, the greatest factor known in city
building.
A large variety of fine candies are
now being made, and others will be
added until every kind, including the
very finest fancy box cadies, will be
made right here in Bryan, 1t is strictly

Those who fail or refuse to keep
their premises clean should not seek
to shirk the unenviable notoriety such
neglect of duty brings. The suggestion

photographs of insanitary and un-

Public opinion is a stronger force than
the state laws and city ordinances,
and if it can be brought to bear in the
