.NEW-ST. COMMISSIONER

After an absence Of about two
months at Marshall, Tex, Mayor
C. s. Cleveland is back again and
presided over the city council meet
ting Monday night. All members Of
the council and other city officers
gladly welcomed him back.
The most important matter of the
evening was tn appointment of Ira
Zumbangh as street commissioner.
The council fixed his salary at 81 q
day and he is to serve for such time
of the year as needed.
By vote tie council chose Chas.
Ashley for water-works superintend-
emit. The council hadsfxed the sal
airy at $500, but this act was re-
pealed and the new officer is to re-
ceive 20 cents an hour for the time
engaged. There were no other can
didates.
Mr.. Clizbe urged that there be a
separate place for the tools of the
water-works department and of the
street commissioner, so there would
be no confusion, mixing and loss Of
tools as heretofore. It was de cid
ed to build another shed in the rear
Of the engine house for the street
commissioners. He must first make
an inventory of what he has and
then if anything more is needed it
will be bought.
It was ordered that strip Of
ground be purchased Of c. L. Nor

MAKING OF AND
MARKET|NGBUTTER

One bad butter COW will eat up the
profit of several good ones.
Good butter must be properly pre-
sented to the market. 1t must not
only be good but look good.
Dairy cows must be treated in ac-
cordance with their Importance, as a
factor of success and the milk and
cream must be handled properly from
cow to churn, and from churn to
market.
Butter worth 40 cents per pound is
made from the same milk that grease
worth 20 cents a pound it made from
and il takes as much to make the one
as the other.
High grade butter is the result OF
ntelligence-poor butter the result of
ignorance. The one is in demand
everywhere, the other goes begging
in the market.
Cream that is being ripened should
be thoroughly stirred several times
before it is ready for churning.
Do not fill the churn over one-third
to one-half full. Give the cream room
for agitation.
Too much working will spoil the
grain Of butter and make it soft while
leaving too much water in will spoil
its keeping qualities.
Butter is usually worked enough
when the water has been removed SO
that the butter will bend without
breaking.
Cool the milk as soon as it comes
from the cow both in winter and sum-
mer.

of the possibilities of the new territory
gathered by Malcolm Mcintyre and w.

in June, and will formally open up the
branches in Tahiti and Samoa. The

tention. This latter was opened up in
a tentative Sort of way when they were
through last.
On their trip they went south as far
as Sydney, and look on that as a fine
place to open up in. They forwarded a
strong report in favor of this to the
head Office, but Received negative an
swer. They hope that something will
be done In this respect next year, and
on the trip they take in June will again
visit the city Of the south and make
further inquiries. Sydney they both
speak about as one of the finest places
they have ever visited, and they are

there is little hope for new school
building for Manoa Valley. The pres
ent structure is old, worn out, falling
into decay, with few whole windows
and the doors creaky, while the sani-

what they should be. The school site
is in one of the lowest sections Of the

HONOLULU INVENTOR
HAS GOOD THING
J. y. sMDDy PATENTS A ROCK
cRUsHER FOR MODERN
NEED.

The United States Patent Office has
granted patent for an improved rock
crushing machine to j. ], Smiddy of
this. city. It consists of laterally
corrugated roll revolving into CORFU
gated concave jaw, which in turn is
pivoted to strong frame and rocked
against the face of the roll by means
of two eccentrics. Owing to the con
struction of the jaw there are two dis
tinct motions embodied in the opera
tion of this machine; a crushing fol-
lowed by a grinding motion by means
of which fine grade of crushed rock
and sand can be secured from one pas
sage of material through the machine.
What this means to the trade will be
realized when it is understood that
plant equipped with old style rock
crushing machines must have at least
three machines of graduated sizes to
turn out an acceptable product which
modern concrete construction calls for.
During the past few years concrete
construction has been gradually chang.
ing, only those actually engaged in the
trade noticing the abolition of the
thick massive walls of former archi-
lecture and the replacing of it by the
modern system of steel reinforced con-
crete of one-third the thickness but
with equal tensile strength.
This means a complete change in the
size of the material which goes into
the work, or, in other words, smaller
product. Yet, while a complete revo.
luton has taken place in concrete con.
struction, there has been no improve
nent' made, until now, in the ma
chinery which makes this industry pos
sible-the rock crushers. They are
still the same old style, expensive,
complicated, gyratory and jaw crush.
ers, with all their parts exposed TO
wear, with maze of chutes and
screens, and finally with sixty per
cent. of their output of such large
size that it must be remilled by auxil-
iary machines to be suitable FOR
modern work. This extra milling calls
for extra boiler and engine power,
making the first cost of an old style
plant far too great for the amount of
material turned out
With Mr.. Smiddy's combination
crusher will be ushered in a new, sim.
pie system of milling the large rock
to small product at one passage
through the machine, calling for but
one screen, and driven by one-tenth
the engine power which would be nee
essary to secure the same amount of
material from the old style machines.
Some of the leading contractors of the
city are. interested to the extent or
raising the money to build the first
machine and demonstrate it here in
in Honolulu. A prominent western
mining engineer has prophesied that
this machine will supplant the use OF
stamp mills throughout the mines of
the West.

FIFTY STEAMERS FOR
THE All. FLEET
HoNoLULAN MAY BE PUT INTO
THE TEHUANTEPEc
SERVICE.

Plans for the development of trade
from the Atlantic into the Pacific via
the Panama Canal contemplate the
building of the greatest fleet under the
American flag all to fly the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company's house
flag. Agent Percy Morse of the Amer
lean Hawaiian company states that the
company not only plans to build several
fast passenger vessels to ply between
New York and San Francisco, via the
canal, vessels which will have a speed
of about twenty knots, but that the
freight department will have large
number of additional vessels, and even
the Honolulan, when turned back to the
company by the Matson Navigation
company, the present charterers, may
be put on the Tehuantepec run merely
to carry freight. Very few passengers,
if any, would be carried on the boat.
Although the Honolulan has been fitted
out as passenger carrier at great ex-
pense, the cabin section would probably
be closed up for some time.
