WOULD STANDARDlzE
CANE FACTORIES

In his report to the Planters Asso-
citation the chairman of the committee
on manufacture of sugar and the util-
ization of by-products urges the need
of the Standardization of all cane fac
tories. Mr.. DEER says in part, "A
second suggestion that the chairman
of your committee offers with all re-
spect may be referred to as a sugges-
ton towards the Standardization OF
cane sugar factories When passing
sometimes on business and calling in
on a mill the writer has not infre-
quentIy been asked questions relating
to the capacity of certain units; ex-
cept in extreme instances it is almost
impossible to answer offNhand whether
such and srch unit is of sufficient
capacity and when. the writer has
asked for information such as $50. #
per ton of cane per hour" the neces-
sary details are frequently found not
to be available.
The suggestion that the chairman
of your committee wishes to make IS
that detailed printed schedule be
drawn up. covering all points of the
sugar factory and that each factory
should fill in this statement, express
ing results per ton of cane per hour,
or other convenient basis. From such
statements standards for the best
modern practice should easily follow
and the executive of a factory on COM
pairing results obtained in other mills
could easily determine where any de-
partment was of insufficient power,
or what is of equal Importance, if any
unit of machinery was not being
worked to its maximum efficiency;
for example, if in one mill an eyap-
orator removes six pounds of water
per square foot per hour and in an
other mill an apparently similar APP
paratus only-aecounts for As pounds
per square foot per hour, the execu-
tive of the latter factory will at once
want to Know the reason, and, having
located weak point, experimental
work should quickly effect a remedy,
but until attention has been definitely
called to an inefficient unit--and a
scheme snch as the one tentatively in
Dictated above should allow of this
the inefficiency is likely to pass I'M
corrected because its existence is not
suspected.
In addition, If such a scheme were
annually followed, reliable basis for
the preparation of reports would be
afforded to the chairman of the COM
mittee appointed by your president.
At the last meeting of the association
your committee presented in their re-
port an account of certain methods Of
heating and evaporation in common
use in beet sugar houses and of great
er economy than those generally
adopted in cane sugar making"

ICE PLANT Baked
BY REMONSTRANCE.
Petition For Extension of Railroad Side
track in Second Ward Has
Been Withdrawn.

A petition for the building of a
sidetrack extension south from the de
pot to the creamery anu the Lancaster
Lumber Go. s yards were before the
city council last week and caused
some little controversy.
The remonstrance was signed by a
number of the residents of the second
ward, who objected to the track being
extended across the street, for the
benefit Of business concerns wishing
to locate on grounds, just south of the
depot.
The opposition was quite pronounc-
ed at the council meeting, " ednesday
evening and the matter was laid over
until Thursday evening for further
consideration. The Lancaster Lum Der
Co. and Messrs. Baxter and Draper
not wishing to antagonize the public
in the matter, withdrew the petition.
Without doubt an ice plant an adj
ditional coal yard would be a benefit
to the city and it is to regretted that a
siding cannot be had, which seems
necessary to make the undertaking
successful.

REEDS OPERA HOUSE
BOUGHT BY ]. D. HATCH
Purchase Not Likely to Disturb Existing
Conditions Conserving Present
Occupants.

Considerable speculation as to ulti-
mate results was occasioned Monday,
when it was learned that j. d. Hatch
had purchased the opera house block
from Dr.. j. FL. Reed at a cost of
$lS 900 This building is now oc
cupled on the first floor by the Boston
Store, and ruuIor became current that
Hatch was going to move into his new
purchase and that Lou Weber, (who
will have to vacate his present
quarters because the Union State
Bank is going 10 entirely remodel its
block, including the rooms occupied
by Weber, would take the building
where Hatchs store now is. This
is denied by the parties concerned.
Mr.. Hatch says he bought the
property as an investment and for his
own protection later, should he be
compelled TO move. Levin will be
given a lease nd will remain where
he is Websr will have to move
soon, as the bank people want to begin
work as soon IS possible. They will
entirely make over their block and
expect to have one Of the handsome st
bank properties in Southwestern Wis
consin. Theirs is the Oldest and
largest bank in the county.
There is some talk that an arrange
ment may be made by which F. G.
Burr, proprietor of the Orpheum
Theater, may have the building west
of the court house now occupied by
the plum bling establishment of BROKER
Bros fitted up for a theatre and
move into it, letting Weber have the
rooms now occupied by the Orphenm,
but there is no authority at present
for such a statement. Every bust
ness man in Lancaster VINO does not
own his own building has more or
less reason for feeling uneasy these
days.

GRANT COUNTY WOMAN
ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD
Grandma ShraIke, of Wyalusing Reaches
the Century Mark at Head of
Six Generations.

1t is doubtful whether there is in
the state Of Wisconsin or posi- bly, in
the United States another N an or
woman with such a record of living
descendants as that possessed by
Grandma Lydia Shrake. of Wyalus-
ing, this county, who celebrated her
10th birthday anniversary on May
4th. Her mind is still active and
normal, tut her hair is snowy white
and her form bent with her century
of years She is the head Of six
generations. the representatives. of
five Of which are living and the sixth
only recently deceased They are
all females, and are as follows: Mrs.
Lydia Shrake. Wyalusing; Mrs.
Margaret Elder deceased; } Mrs.
Rachel Golf. Ruthven, Iowa; Mrs.
Melissa Spanlding, California; Mrs.
Cora Gulley, California;; Baby Agnes

The venerable old lady has 1877
grandchildren, counting to the sixth
generation. Her great great great
grand child, Agnes Gulley, has So
living grand parents.

Grandma Lydia Thomas Ault-
Shrake was born in Connellsville.
EFayette Co., Pa and at the age of
fGur, moved with her parents to

Elias and William. Two of these
sons, Sylvester and VIM. Ault. served
in the late civil wal, the former in
the 50th Wisconsin, and the latter in

makes five sops Grandma Shrake sent

Dedication of Hurricane Presbyterian
Church Next Sunday.

a beautiful new building takes the place
of the old Hurricane church and is certain
" an ornament in the community. It was
finished a few months ago and will be dedi-
Gated next Sunday for the services of God.
The old church has been the spiritual home
blessing tO.many .'Insthe last few years it be-
came too small and so cola in winter there
fore the congregation unanimously decided
on building new church "a X 40 feet in di-
mensIOn. Everybody was anxious to see it
started ard see it finished. No one refused
a helping hand and all gave very literally
so the new church could be finished without
cent of debt.
Perhaps never has a public house been
erected in such peace and joy as this very
church. May the influence of that spirit go
about to bless this Hurricane community
and call the people together around the
holy altar of God. May many refuge seek
throne of God. May she be the beacon of
hope for many vet in darkness and sin about
her may she proclaim always and nothing
else but the salvation thrO' Jesus the cruel
fed. May God receive it as the hearts gift
and thand offering to his glory and praise
forever.
The congregation thanks all liberal and
kind friends for their labor and money
donations 1t also thanks the Methodist
congregation for the use of their church
and Almighty God be praised and thanked
for the wisdom and interest and love that
has made it possible to establish this sane
tuary.
All are invited to take part in the dedica-
ton services next Sunday. There will be
divine services in the morning at 1G O'Clock
and in the afternoon at 2. The dedication
will take place in the afternoon but come in
the morning for refreshments which will be
served at noon by the ladies of the church.
