IMPROVEMENTS
At LHUE MILL

date, modern sugar mill is thorough
ly equipped shop where all kinds of
repairs can be wrought, from cane
carrier bolt to a broken roller.
Lihue plantation is installing such
shop, which will put it in line with
the very best equipped mills on the
Islands.
The shop building will be continu-
mediately behind it, and will be 126 IT.
by Sc it., with plenty of room over
head, and with an electric travelling
crane that will travel the whole dis
tance over crusher plant and shop.
This. will be a wonderful convenience
for the quick and economical dispatch
of work. as it will be able to pick up
any article from a mill cap to a mill
roller, and deliver it at any point in
the whole area, about as soon as a boy
would carry a monkey wrench there.
This will be among the largest and
finest electric cranes on the Islands.
The shop will contain several lathes
of different sizes-one of them with a
swing of 4S inches, heavy enough to
handle mill rollers and other heavy
work; As inch open side planer, a
6 it radial drill, "a inch morton grind
er, No. Cincinnati milling machine,
hydraulic press, etc. All the above
machines will be individually motor
driven.
In connection with the shop there
will be a locomotive repair pit, with
drop floor to allow of easy removal of
driving wheels-saving much time and
trouble over the old method of iacking
and blocking up the engines.
In the milling plant it has been
found that the crusher is unequal to
the standards of the rest of the mill
1t will be discarded and a larger one
with "a X rs rolls installed in it's place.
Steel caps will be installed on No. 2
and mills, with hydraulic jacks.
In the boiling house two new hori-
zontal return tubular boilers, ft 20
it. will be added. The capacity of the
evaporators will be increased by the
addition of two new cells of 1000 feet
evaporating surface each.
Additional cane storage will be pro,
vided by carrying the tracks farther
up the valley, so that 300 cars can be
stored if need be, and the tracks will
be more conveniently arranged.
These mill improvements have been
mainly designed and are being carried
out by o. R. Olsen, chief engineer, who
has demonstrated his ability and eff
cheney by long experience in mill con
struction and management.
