MUSEUM NOTES
A Complete Exhibition of Processes
of Sugar Refining.

An addition to the series of in
dustrial exhibits at the Fairbanks
Museum has just been received, il
Illustrating the sugar refining indus
try. The notwithstanding A
samples of the materials used in
sugar refining together with the pro-
ducts and by-products of the process,
is the gift of the American Sugar
Refining Company of Boston.
The first sample is that of sugar
cane, although the sugar refining
companies do not as a rule handle
the cane itself. AS soon as possible
after harvesting, the sugar cane is
put through the steam-rolling ma
chimes to extract the juice and this is
at once partially purified and boiled
down" to form crude sugar. The
molasses is drained off and the cryst-
ais sent to the refneries. These
earliest processes of sugar making
are carried on at sugar mills near
the cane fields because of the early
fermentation of the juices causing
much loss.
The sugar refinerS receive the
sugar in this crude crystalline state
from various sugar regions. Our ex-
hibit includes samples from Java,
Cuba and Manila. In the process of
refining, the raw sugars are mixed
with water and syrup and washed.
The washed sugar and syrup are then
melted and purified (defecated) by
removing the scum from the heated
liquor. The liquor is next filtered
through bags made of twilled cotton
encased in hemp. This process frees
the sugar liquor from all impurities
but does not remove the brownish
color. 1t is then filtered through
bone-black or animal charcoal which
makes the liquor coIorless. The next
process is boiling the liquor in
vacuum pans. 1t is then purged in
centrifugal machines and grained for
market. Samples of all these stages
in the process of sugar refining are
shown, together with Is samples of
the commercial sugars.

The Service Commission Report.

The Vermont Public Service Com
Missions telephone report is a re-
markable document. First, for the
fact that the report comes out of
the commission in two parts. The
majority makes a long and involved
report, which needs long examina-
ton to get an inkling of the con-
tents. We will not at this time.
therefore attempt to make serious
comment, lest we might do an in
justice to it's authors. The authors
of the two-thirds of the Commits
sion's report are Messrs. Bacon and
Pollard-tne governors appointees;
and, as it has been shown in the
past, the governor does not hesitate
to emasculate the Commission mere
ly to enforce his own will; and to-
find men who would fit The hnal re-
port to the original cutthroat order
for a fiat reduction of 20 per cent.
The two-thirds commission found
it necessary to disregard the claim
founded on facts-that the New
England Company has an invest
ment of approximately, $3,0OO,OOO,
on which the company annually re
ceives in dividends less than per
cent. The wise commissioners saw a
way to please the master hand of
this examination of the telephones
in Vermont; and tbs two-thirds
Commission proceeded at once to
arbitrarily reduce the valuation of
the plant to such a sum as would
give a fair income to the company
on their suggested cut rate. This
they did in writing, but not in fact.
We cannot recall any such crime
against a corporation in Vermont;
and indeed against this decent COM
munity--to deliberately cut down
the capital of a great corporation
which was then earning less than 2
per cent. Is this the way to treat cor
porations in Vermont?
1t appears to us that the One
Third of the Commission is a big
ger one than the Two-Thirds. Mr..
Warner has shown that he is a
strong. able, self-reliant, honorable
and lust man. Mr.. Warner tells us
truly that he has no facility in law
yer's phrase. That very thing il is
that makes his minority report stand
out, short, clear and honest. 1t it
was made up of the ear marks of
lawyers il might be doubted. Mr..
Warner disagrees with his fellow
commissioners on their policy in
toto He took the open road of hon
esty and fair dealing. He proposes
to give the State better service
rather than worse; to improve the
lines and equipment of the small
companies OF the State. This is the
policy of building up and-in con-
trast to the Two-Thirds-not de-
stroying.
Mr.. Warmers policy must become
the policy of the State in all its
kea a
fairs or we will become bankrupt. IL
Is worth while TO say that Mr.. War
ner Is an appofntee Of Governor

Acting under his physicians orders
Sherb has been forced to postpone
his negotiations with Fritz Hanson
for a wrestling bout here. The first
plans were for a match about April

the worlds welter-weight champion
may be seen in action here.
With the close of the basket ball
season, and before the ground be-
comes hard enough for base ball
the fans have to be satisfied with in
door games, or rumination as to the
results of games this summer. 1t will
not be long however, before the local
team will be practicing for their big
games, and the local followers of the
greatest game, will see the boys in
action.

just the right time. Paying one cent
quart, Ned had employed an army
of vacation school children. Not a
berry rotted, not delivery was miss
ed and nearly one thousand dollars
net profit came from the well-man-
aged enterprise.
The present season, however, old
Silas Green found that he could not
hire pickers. The children had heard
of his cruel treatment of their favor
tie. Again, the bright, encouraging
jollity of Ned that made work play to
them was an absent element.
There came rain and then a hot
sun. There was consequent magi-
cal ripening of the berries. The few
pickers whom Green could induce to
work for him could not handle third
of the task. Hundreds of quarts of
the fruit rotted. At the end of the
season the troubled farmer found
himself two hundred dollars to the
bad.
One year to the day from the one
when Silas Green had turned faith
full but Independent helper from his
door, there came a registered pack
age to the farm house. Curious and
eager the farmer opened it,
The package contained-a heavy
horsewhip!

with which he had struck his niece
and Ned Calvert, and the old fellow

burden of the broken old man. SllaS
Green told the truth when he spoke
of his growing bad fortune. He tried
new help, but they failed in their
duty. A season of bad crops all
around forced him to mortgage the
little place.
81 see nothing but ruin before me-"
he lamented.
One night there came a knock at
the door of the humble farm house.
Nettie went to the door, viewed the
visitor and fell back with vague,
startled cry. Silas Green arose to his
feet, his jaws dropped, starting spell
bound
1t was Ned, but a new Ned, who,
unlimited, advanced into the room.
His eyes were bright and brave, his
lips smiling. He was erect, hand
some, well-dressed. He extended his
hand to the old farmer as though
there had never been anything be-
tween them Then he turned to the
trembling, agitated Nittie, with the
words: -....E
1--WE come back to you as l said l
would. Am l welcome?"
ooh, Nedw gasped the overcome
girl and fiuttered into his arms.
Boy" spoke Silas Green huskily,
you have forgiven me?"
For what?" cried Ned. "ThatWhip
blow? Mr.. Green, you were in the
wrong and shall always think So"
Yes! yes; 1 admit it"
But that blow made man of me.
Shall 1 tell you how? was mad all

aged. l knew they. we're up to no

they refused to take me into their
