CHAUTAUQUA IS TO
Be FREE OF BOOZE
Drinking Fire Water on the
Sly in Tented City Not
to Be Tolerated.

That campers at this years assem-
bly, of the Chautauqua will have nc
complaint to make in regard to intoxi
eating liquors being on the grounds
is the assurance of Park Superinten
dent Hollern. Mr.. Hollern says that
heretofore he has received a number
of complaints from campers about the
use of liquor in the Chautauqua, and
that he has done everything in his
power in former years to abolish the
practice. This year Supt. Hollern and
the Chautauqua police will keep a Wig
liant watch for booze smugglers.
Complaints were registered with
Mr.. Hollern last year about the alleg
ed drinking, and Hollern searched sew
eral tents but was unable to find any
liquor. While walking by the weest
gate one afternoon Hollern noticed a
case of beer which was placed on the
outside of the fence He waited neal
the place for more than an hour in the
expectancy of some person removing
the liquor to a tent, but as no one
came for it Mr.. Hollern took it out OF
the Glen.
In referring to this matter Supt Hol
lern recites rather amusing incident
He said that last year special po
liceman ran up to him and breathless
ly declared that a number of young
men were drinking beer in their tent
Going up to the tent fully expecting tc
make a sensational arrest, Supt. Hol
lern and the policemen entered and
found four young men drinking out ot
suspicious looking bottles. Asking
what the bottles contained the Off
cials received the reply that it was
pop. Not until Hollern and the pa
trolman had sampled the drink would
they believe the campers.
On page 377 of city ordinances is
the following section:
NO intoxicating liquors shall be al
lowed to be sold bartered, given away
or drank within any OF the public
parks of the city"

A MILLION PATENTS
Granted by the United States
Government.
(National News Association


Washington, D. c., July 31.-One
hundred and twenty-one years ago to-
day the United States granted it's first
patent. One week from tomorrow the
Patent Office expects to issue Patent
No. 100000. The one millionth pat
ent will be granted to a Mr.. Hilton Of
Cleveland, O., and will cover a new
rubber tire with special features de-
signed primarily for use on motor cars
To Samuel Hopkins, Of Vermont be-
longs the honor of having received the
first patent. This was granted July
81. 1890, and was for a device for
making pot and pearl ashes. which are
the matter remaining after evapora-
tion when vegetable matter is refined
in a crucible. the extractive substance
being burned off and dissipated
The patent issued to Mr.. Hopkins,
however, was not Patent No. 1, so far
as the records go, for several thous-
ands of patents were issued by the
government before it began numbering
them. John Ruggles took out Patent
No. l for steam engine designed to
run on an inclined plane. The date
of this patent was July %. 1896. This

American Seeding Machine
Company Will Still Depend
on Water Works, but to a
Much Less Extent.
WATER COMPANY is
TO SUPPLY BOILERS
With Water and Furnish Wa
ter for Fire Protection
Water for Drinking Fur
nished by the Well.

The American Seeding Machine
Company will within the next few
weeks commence prospecting for wa.
ter on their property on North Il
street. This is the result Of the cxces
sively high water bill which the COM
pany has to pay the Richmond City
Water Works each year. However, the
company will continue to depend on
the water works for water for fire pro-
lection purposes and for use in the
boilers.
At the present time the City water
works furnishes the American Seed
ing Machine company with water in
all parts of the factory and for all pur-
poses. AS they have over thousand
men employed during the busy season
the large amount of water used for
drinking purposes, also in the lavato-
ries, boilers and for fire protection
makes the bill for water amount to al
most a thousand dollars yearly.
This is considered too large a sum
to be expended for water and as a re-
suit every effort will be made to locate
a large vein of water which Is believed
to be under the property owned by the
company
James A. Carr. general manager of
the company, stated this morning that
the chief purpose in drilling we'll
was to secure cool water for drinking
purposes,
Several years ago when the present
corporation was known as the Hoosier
Drill Company. well was drilled
which furnished a large quantity of
the water used in the factory, but
when the new buildings were erected
and the company became known as
the American Seeding Machine COM
pany, the well was built over and has
been out of use for the past five years.
The new well will be drilled in the
near vicinity of the old one. The wa
ter of the old well is stated to have
been of a very good quality and was
unlimited In quantity at that time.

Washington, July 31.-The feud be,

Wickersham of Alaska, and Attorney
General Wickersham. came to a eli
max today when the delegate appear
ed before the house committee on ju,
dietary to make good on his charges
that the attorney general had yield.
ed and allowed the statute of limita.
tions to run out in favor of Alaskan
syndicate agents who are charged
coal contracts. The attorney general
was before the committee last week
and denounced the delegates charges
as absolutely false. He demanded that
the delegate make good, and Delegate
Wickersham told the committee that
he would be on hand today to prove
his charges.
TiIt Lively One
At the beginning of the hearing a
tilt occurred between the delegate and
the attorney general, when the dele
gate declared that h had placed the
evidence in the Alaskan claims in the
hands of the attorney general more
than year ago.
You know that is not true" said
the attorney general.
1T is true, retorted the delegate,
''and l am here to back up my charges
that you have shielded criminals in
the Alask4 syndicate. Nearly all the
documents l shall produce have been
in your hands for more than a year
Delegate Wickersham then read into
the record the original affidavit made
by c. J. Douglas, in February, 1910, al
leging that the Alaskan Coal dealers
had defrauded the government out of
$4,000. The delegate said he had
been unable to get any action out of
the attorney general until May, nearly
three months later, but that in May,
1910, Wickersham finally agreed to
take the matter up, and the delegate
had conferred with assistant attorney
record letter from the attorney gen
eral, saying that the statute of limi-
tations against the alleged conspira-
tors had run out.

START KENNEWICK MILL
North Yakima Man Owner of New Els.
Establishment just Erected at
That Place

II. j. Snively has just returned
from visit to Kennewick, where
he went to look after matters con-
nected with the Kennewick Grain
Il Milling Co., of which he is the
owner. The company has COM
pleted the building of it's mill, and
expects to commence operations on
September l with an output at first
of $50 barrels per day, which will
later be increased to 500 barrels,
the mill having capacity for the
latter amount. The mill will be
under the management of William
Helm.
Following the destruction by fire
of the mill at Yakima City, which
Mr.. Snively owned, he purchased
the plant Of the Spokane Grain 4
Milling Co. at Latah, Wash. and
moved the machinery to Kenne-
wick, where new mill was built.
The mill has main building 36x

basement, and a warehouse adj

ing is 81 feet in height. The mill
is located advantageously with ref

the location at Kennewick is con-
sidered exceptional because Of prox-
unity to wheat districts, and the

let's and states the number in the
box. The balance nf the crop goes
into what is called No. 3, which
this wear was sold to the cannery,
and this grade should always 60 to
the cannery Cor Seattle, as they dc
not seem to know the difference
over there between good or bad.)
Until this year we have made
but two grades, putting into our
second grade everything that was
marketable and not fit for our first
grade. Now. since we have the
canneries, We Gull very much more
closely, raising our first grade prac-
tically to perfection and bringing
the second grade up so that it will
pass for No. 1 under any fruit law
that is likely to be passed by the
national government or any state.
This leaves our No. 3 grade good
enough so that the canneries were
glad to take them this year (19O8)
at $12. so per ton, when they were
paying $25 for strictly first class
pears.
In packing we use the three
three pack, that is, three pears in
each row, across the box, and the
cone-shaped wrap, which makes
every wrapped pear look tidy and
neat. --- ..--a.---.-----
BY packing the smaller pears
in the ends of the box and the
largest in the center we make a
beautifully browning top surface
which will extend probably three
quarters of an inch above the box
at the ends and an inch and a hall
or three-quarters above the box in
the center, and the press brings the
cover down tight, when we have a
box very snugly packed, which is
indispensable in view of the fact
that pears shrink very rapidly and
the pack would soon become loose
if not pressed in tightly. The pear,
being green and very hard, is not
liable to receive the least injury
from this process.
Every box of pears when il
comes from the packer is placed on
the scales, which are set at fifty
pounds. If the beam does not
come up the box goes back
to the packer for more fruit; if il
weighs more than fifty-two pounds
we take some off. We keep the
weight between fifty and fifty-two
pounds before the covers are put on
