platform. Each truck loads at a par ticular place and at a stated time for tn, first load of the day. A specified time is allowed for loading. The kegs and barrels brought to the loading platforms by conveyers and packed into the trucks. With the bottle de- partment, the crates of bottles arc brought to the loading platform by similar means and loaded. The full load for a five ton truck is fifty half barrels or 130 crates of bottles.
 Careful Routing.
 The time allowed for a days work for the man is eight hours, and this fact necessltates careful consideration of the delivery. This is arranged by the superintendent, the chief of the shipping department and the man. ager of the garage, because each executive must cooperate with the other. The routes are made out with several objects in view. The first is the distance to be traversed, the sec ond the number of customers to be served, the third the highway condi- tions, the fourth the traffic and the different probable causes for delay the fifth the capacity of the vehicle as to speed, freight carried and battery mileage.
 It must be understood there is con- siderable elasticity required in this service, and a route that may be easily served during the cold or even mod crate temperatures will be beyond service with any form of single vehicle when the heated periods O! the year trebles the consumption Then the routes must be adjusted and the delivery capitalized so far as pos sible, what was served by one ma chine being divided and another ma chine or vehicles used.

tl,eir usefulness has been fully real ized. As it now is planned, these will be used so long as the period of tran sltion continues, and it would not be at all surprising if within year prac- tically all the horses were retired and the delivery made by motor vehicle. There is no question that this result will follow and it is merely a matter of tine-in fact, largely an element of convenience-before the brewery will utilize nothing but motor wagons and trucks. It is not to be assumed that this change is for any other req son than economy. Neither has there been redfeal change in nl@thods. In truth, there has been adhG9ence to the original manner of distribution with a surprising measure of success.
 The Ruppert brewery is an immense and Ninetieth, Ninety-first and Nine- ty-second streets, and it is on a site that will permit of lafge expansion. Within two years somethin~ like $2,- 5O0,000 has been expended for inn provements, and these have by no means been completed. When the plans made and contemplated are con. summated, it is expected the stock house capacity will be close to 2,000,- 900 barrels of beer annually, which tersely indicates the proportions of the industry. The delivery of so large a product is quite as important as producing and with the economy of but trifie a barrel, it will be under- stood that the total annually may ap- proximate an enormous sum. It IS not too much, in view of the expert ence of others, to expect a saving of

the load carried by the vehicle, there are but two factors for superiority the one being the greater speed and the other the greater distance that can be travelled in a day. The electric, truck of five tons capacity h@S a battery mileage of thirty-fve and a speed of eight miles an hour, half of the bat tery mileage with a full load. This will permit carrying the freight prac- tically double the distance that q horse team could be driven consist entIy, and at about three times the pace at full speed. But under any circumstances the truck of five tons capacity is at least 100 per cent. faster than the horses.

It may be profitable to send products further by I otor. truck, but unless there is a D. oductive return mileage, this has not been satisfactorily demonstrated. The delivery within twenty miles, however, is generally made by the electric machines. The manner of delivery is systematized with extreme care, the heavy loads being sent. away first in the day. The trucks report beginning at o'clock each morning of the working day during the sum-
 ner period and at 4:30 in the winter. Each driver goes to the garage to find his vehicle in readiness, or one that he is to use that may be temporarily as- signed, and he drives 1t to the loading

nerhaps 25 per cent in the cost, and assuming that this will be from eight to ten per cent. barrel, not inn probabl figure, the economy is from $160,o0o to $2oO.ooo a year, and equal to the income from $4,000,000 invest ed at four and five per cent. on the basis of stock house capacity.
 Big Saving.
 IT is not until the aggregate saving is known and the amount contrasted with the earnings of capital at normal rates of interest that the possibilities of this one economy are realized. In other words, with the cost of produc- tion as stated, the change of manner of haulage would be equivalent to an investment of $4,000,000 without the risk or the care that the management of so large a sum would entail. Not only this. there could be no possibility of loss or shrinkage. Viewed from this aspect the economy in haulage be- comes a subject that demands an at- detail of the business, and degree of supervision that will secure this saw ing.
 If ne fact should be impressed up- on the business man, it is that with so large an enterprise, conducted with the system and care that its propor- tions demand, there should be great possibility for economy. Especially when it is reasonable to assume that with horse delivery there was equal attention to detail. Not only this, it is probable that with concerns not as exacting and with less perfected meth ods of accounting, these possibilities are even greater.

chimes, with orders placed for thirty five more, so that within compara- lively short time there will be eighty three electric trucks and wagons em- ployed for it's local and suburban dis tribution.
 In selecting the electric machine for delivery within the radius of US movement, no decision was re1ched until after experiments extending over a period of years. The first trucks were four in number and were de- livered in 1908. These machines were placed in precisely the same service as the horses, and they were worked hard. They were subjected to every test and were driven by men who nad previously driven horses. These men were not experts and knew nothing Of the trucks, their knowledge being gained by their daily work. It IS natural to assume that their inexperl- ence was more or less expensive. But the trucks endured, and they dld the work though the service given by these trucks was more severe than tne machines now receive.
 Animals Are Costly.
 It must be understood that even with the fVe-tOn machines the lodd is not increased as compared with an average brewery delivery horse team: The freight is from 50 to 52 half barrels to a load, and the weight IS approximately 11,000 pounds, but while this would seem to be more than horse flesh could endure for any ex- tended period, it should be known that the daily mileage for horse teams is seldom more than twelve, and gem orally it will hardly reach this figure The horses are carefully selected for the work, and are extremely large and powerful A team will range in value from .$1,0OO to $1.50O and some will exceed the last mentioned sum. They, with the wagons and other equipment will closely approach cost of $2,000.

RUPPERT'S ELECTRIC
 DELIVERY
After Eight Years Practical Ex- perience, 48 Electric Trucks Are Added to Gasolene Vehi- cles of Various Makes in Com parative Service With Animals and 35 More Are Ordered.

One of the most striking illustra- tons of the utility and economy of the motor truck is to be found in the which is the largest industry of this character in New York. The haulage is by two methods, animals and me- chanical wagons. the former having been the vogue since tf-se estab blish- rnent of the brewery, the latter having been begun in 1903. The animal ser vice was continued with increase of horses and horse wagons until the be- ginning of 1911 and since that time the motor vehicles have been in- creased rapidly and the horses have decreased, although there are now nearly 300 being utilized in the de- livery at this brewery.
 There is little doubt, however, that these will be disposed of long before

 *
 Half a mile down the ridge, where it sloped up gradually from the forests and swamps of the plain, team of powerful n1alemutes were running at the head of toboggan. On the sledge was a young half Cree woman. Now beside the sledge, now at the head of the dogs, cracking his whip and shout ing joyously, ran Jean de Gravois.
 He was bringing back with him splendid young woman with big lus- trous eyes and hair that shone with the gloss of ravens wing in the sun. She laughed at him proudly as he danced and leaped beside her. reply ing softly in Cree, which is the most beautiful language in the world; to everything that he said
 Jean leaped and ran, cracked bis carbon whip and shouted and sang until he was panting and red in the face. Just as Iowaka had called upon ' him to stop and get second wind the malemutes dropped back upon their launches where Jan Thoreau lay, twisted and bleeding, in the snow.
 "What is this?' cried Jean.
 He caught Jan's limp head and shoulders up in his arms and called shrilly to Iowaka, who was disentan- gling herself from the thick furs in which he had wrapped her.
 '1t is the fiddler I told you about. who lives with Williams att Post Lac Bainp he shouted excitedly in Cree. "He has been murdered. He has been choked to death and torn to pieces in the face as if by an animal" Jeans eyes roved about as Iowaka kneeled beside him. What fight" he gasped. ''See the footprints-a big man and small boy, and the mur- derer has gone on sledge!'
 He is warm" said Iowaka. "It may be that he is not dead"
 Jean de Gravois sprang to his feet. his little black eyes flashing with a dangerous fire. In single leap he was at the side of the sledge throw lug Ou lu6 IuES duQ puuulGS dAQ odi other objects except his rife.
 He is dead, Iowaka. Look at the purple and black in his face. 1t Is Jean de Gravois who will catch the murderer, and you will stay here and make yourself camp. Hi-o-o-o-o! he shouted to the malemutes.
 The team twisted sinuously and swiftly in the trail as he sped over the edge of the mountain. Upon the plain below he bnelt upon the toboggan, with his rife in front of him, and at his low. hissing commands, which reached no farther than the dogs ears. the team stretched their long bodies in pursuit of the missioner and his huskies.
 Jean knew that whoever was ahead of him was not far away. and he laughed and hunched his shoulders when he saw that his magnificent malemutes were making three times the speed of the huskies. It was a short chase. It led across the narrow plain and into dense tangle of swamp. where the, huskies had picked their way in aimless wandering until they came out in thick balsam and Bank sian pine. Half mile farther on, and the trail broke into an open which led down to the smooth surface of a

Commencing tomorrow night at the
Liberty theater one of the most eele-
brated American eonIediennes will
make her first local appearance, and
that the performance of this talented
artistic will be a revelation to the en-
tire English-speaking patrons OF the.
Nuuanu street playhouse is certain.
The artistic in question is no less a
vaudeville celebrity than Miss Martha
Golden, and, although the nature of.
her "act" is entirely different from
anything yet offered by the Liberty
management, inasmuch as the per-
former possesses those qualities that
place her in the front rank of her pro-.
fession, Miss Golden, will doubtless
make good" especially before a Lib
erty audience, which has become dis
tinctly different from the usual pat
rons of the other theaters, in that an
act to make good at the Liberty must
be wealthy in that quality known In

Miss Helen Lewis, who is about as
neat and beautiful as any woman that
has appeared in a local vaudeville
theater, not only delights her au-

some smile but possesses a pleasing
voice and offers a very acceptable
vaudeville turn, the program taken all
through, being as good as any that
has been seen in Honolulu's small
