the same answer, but worked in different

mailed us an answer, and claims to have

is the same as the one sent in by the con-

evidently be the correct solution.

TWINE SHOP BASEMENT

The Irvine factory has practically been
written up from one end to the other; but
somehow the writers have skipped the
basement. Friday afternoon Supt. Will
liams took we EDITOR on tour of inspection
and we started out with the basement. For
the benefit of those who never have and
perhaps never will visit this part of the
Irvine factory, resume of the inspection
will hardly be out of place.
Under shop G is what is called the oil
room. Here the Irvine oil is prepared At
the west side of the room is door leading
to the oil tanks. Two of the tanks hold
1000 gallons of oil each; to these two
tanks the oil from the cars is unloaded
through meter. 1t is then pumped from
these tanks to a storage tank which holds
$1,000 gallons. From this tank it is
pumped to the cooker or mixer.
Coming back out of this room and a
few steps to the right brings you to the oil
cooker. Here the degras is emptied from
the barrels into the melting tank, and from
here it is run to the cooker. A small CEN
trifugal pump, in continuous operation
during working hours, pumps the oil from
here to another large storage tank. A
pressure of 81 pounds is kept on the oil
pipes which lead to the machines of each
system. On an average 1900 gallons of
oil is used daily.
In the next room, under shop D, is the
sack manufacturing department, storeroom
and stencil room. One man has charge of
the cutting of the sacks, cutting about
l, 800 per day. The cloth is stretched on a
large frame, and, when he has enough
cloth stretched for fifty sacks, a slit is
made down the middle with a large
butcher knife and the deed is done.
In the storeroom is contained all the lit
tie odds and ends needed around a manu-
featuring plant. 1t is impossible to get
anything from the storeroom without an
order signed by the superintendent or his
assistant.
Of the stenciling part, there is very little
to say. About 1000 sacks are used daily
and one man does all the stenciling. OF
course it keeps him pretty busy, but he is
paid by the piece work system and he
doesn't mind.
preparing room. Here the fibre is pre-
pared for the breakers. Four systems are
in operation in the factory and each sys-
tenn is independent of the other; and each
system is under a separate foreman. 1t
then rails 10 the Inen IN the preparing room
to keep each systems fibre separate from
the other. The bales of fibre are trans
ferred from the warehouse to this room on
a large underground electric conveyor.
In this room is also the carpenter shop.
The man who runs this part of the bust
ness is pretty busy fellow, as he also has
charge of the storeroom.
In each room of the basement is a large
electric fan heating device. During the
summer it keeps the air fresh in each Sec
ton of the factory and in the winter it
pumps the air in from out doors and heats
it, then forces it in to each department.
The temperature in the Irvine shop is the
same at all times, excepting when old Sol
takes hand in the game like he has fol
the past few weeks.
In commenting on having each system

shaking him good, for it was. time to get
up. No more broncho busting for him;
for awhile at least.
The farmers had the laugh on the team
ster the other afternoon. He had started
for town with half a ton of feed on the
wagon and was to load lot of sweet corn
for the old prison. In trying to get close
to the corn field fence, the load tipped over
and he was obliged to get the farmers out
of the field to help him turn the wagon
right side up and reload.

Chief Schatz says people around here
take him for walking encyclopedia, judg-
ing by the number of questions they ask
him.
Capt. Maisch, foreman of the machine
shop, has been on the sick list few days
this week and was unable to report for duty
at the expiration of his leave of absence.
1t is sad fact that some people can not
get out of the habit of taking other peo-
pies property, "even in prison. Some
one whose identity is unknown, has a
weakness for taking soap that does not be-
long to him. Stop it.
Asst. Supt. Gurley is some genius when
it comes to rebuilding balling machine.
The one he has been working on is COM
pleted, and with the spinner, that is to be
on exhibit at the State Fair, was removed
from the machine shop last Friday. The
baller builds up as nice and smooth ball
of Irvine as was ever turned out of a twine
factory.
SHOP H.-BY F. H.
Mr.. Editor:-If my observations are cor
rect, the "Baron," who represented shop
H., in the last issue of the Mirror, has
been transferred to some other department,
and with considerable trepidation and in
an humble way-not high-brow you
know-I will endeavor to send in little
copy now and then.
Harmony is our watchword.
Our much touted electric time piece,
after few weeks stalling, has stopped al
together.
The man who deals out the fibre is a
busy man with his trusty fsqueegee. He
keeps the dirt where it belongs.
Mr.. Anderson, our foreman, has con-
tented look these days. The answer? He
has once more tester on the job who
tests.
One of our oldest spinners, ]. g.,
leaves us next week. We can't recall a
day that he hasn't been on the job, with
a pleasant look for everyone at all times.
He will be missed by all of us.
The man with the ''sheet'' gets around
on time. However, we all seem to know
when he is due; (the clock to the con-
trary Notwithstanding our plug looks
rather skinny around about that time, two
twenty p. m.
Judging from the long lines of visitors
passing through the shops daily, we are
forced to the conclusion that the one end
must be getting up in the morning while
the other end is going to bed the night be-
fore. Like the fellow who worked such
long hours he used to meet himself going
to work while coming home.
All of the sacks used for sacking the
finished Irvine, of all departments, are
made up in our shop. A tiny motor at
tached to sewing machine does the
work. Nc. H., the operator, handles
the job to perfection. The sacks are
sewed on the inside, one man turning them
right side out with the aid of patent
frame.
We have quite forgotten who it was
that sprung this one: Elbow cold is it
when it stwice as cold as two below zero?'
Is this the answer?- Remember we figured
this out in the spirit of loyalty to shop H.,
even if we are wrong. Freezing point, as
we understand it, is the division point,
thirty-two degrees above being freezing
point, two degrees below must be thirty
four degrees cold Twice that cold muse
be sixty-eight degrees cold, or sixty-eight
degrees below freezing point, which would
be thirty-six degrees below zero.

separate from the other, Supt. Williams
says it works to perfection. There IS
much rivalry between each system TO see
which can turn out the best and most OF the
finished product at the smallest cost.
A bulletin is posted each month telling
which system is ahead

Manager Griffith set tongues wagging
last week when he displayed check for
one hundred thousand dollars, which
he offered to President Navin for Ty
Cobb. Mr.. Navin promptly put the
fake label on the story when he said the
Washington club wasn't worth that much
money all told.
The Detroit club has purchased Pitcher
Ralph Comstock from the Minneapolis
club, of the American Association. Com
stock is easily the best pitcher of the year
in the Association. 1t was thought he
would go to the White Sox, but for some
reason the Detroit offer was more tempt
ing. 1t is understood that Minneapolis
gets $40, O00-part cash and part in players
for this youngster. Comstock reported to
the Tigers this week.
The Giants have gradually increased
their lead over the Phillies during the
week. Today, Friday, and Saturday
these two teams will try conclusions in the
Quaker city. On pitching the Giants are
considerably the stronger, while the Pills
excel with the bat. 1t should be an interest
ing series. Manager McGraw has taken
Pitcher Crandall back from the Cards and
will give St. Louis a cash consideration in
stead. The trade of Crandall for Mclean
caused fist fight between McGraw and
his players and his latest move indicates
that the little Napoleon found some virtue
in their argument.
