James If Quinn, who la In charge In thia
territory, of opening up to navigation
rivers clogged with fallen trees and other
debris. Engineer P. J. Keating of the
corpe of United States engineers stationed
at Havannah, arrived In Maron yesterday
afternoon, bringing along with him 1.000
pounds of dynamite. This will be used
In clearing tbs channel of the Ocmulgee
river. *
Members of the Chamber of Commerce
went down the river several days ago to
see how tbe work was accompli*<>*d. With
twenty pounds of dynamite, three large
trees were thrown entirely out of the
stream, the method adopted seeming to
fork with absolute satisfaction. The
dynamite brought by Mr. Keating con
tains 60 per cent, nltro glycerine, and
as the cost I* only SO cents per pound. It
Is thought to be the cbeajwst plan for
“'ddlng the river channel of nhntruction*.
On account of the river balng now lower

Information from that part of Mich

to the belief that this year's crop will
be a little heavier than the past aver
age. and there no fear of any one
getting a "corner** on the market, as
was the case ln*t year. To one who Is
not thoroughly informed on the subject
It may be somewhat of a surprise to
learn that there Is no more New York

peppermint crop from their fields, be
fore it occurred to them that he was
making qulto n sum of money each year
out of tho oil he distilled. Finally they
began to transplant the root from the
place of Its wild and spontaneous
growth to places where It could be
cultivated as a regular farm crop, nnd
from that time until a year or two ago
Lyons was the shipping point of nearly
all the peppermint oil produced In the
United States.
Tho Hotchkiss Family,
II. G. Hotchkiss was a country store
keeper In Phelps, Ontario county, nnd
In the peppermint belt. He look the
peppermint oil from the farmers In
trade, until he had on hand about 11,000
worth. He brought a sample to New
York nnd attempted to find a market,
but none of the drug house* here would
touch IL not believing that It could
possibly hold its own against the pro
duct of Japan. Hamburg, Germany,
being the great center for the distri
bution of essential oils, Hotchkiss de
termined to test the merit of his oil
In that world's market. The now ob
solete twenty-one-ounce lip-mouthed
Ink bottles were new then, nnd Hotch
kiss purchssed enough to bottle up all
the oil he had. These he hermetically
sealed and labelled as follows: "Pep
permint oil from Wayne County, N. Y..
U. 8. A. Guaranteed pure by II. O.
Hotchkiss.” He then consigned It to a
Hamburg house, naming his price if
accepted.
lie waited several months for nn an
swer. and then he received a draft for
more than he expected, and a request
for another consignment of the Wayne
county oil. The Hotchkiss oil had l»een
.exported back to Ne.w York, where the
druggists bought It with much eager
ness and demanded more. Then Hotch
kiss unfolded his trick to the essen
tial oil dealers In this msrket.and from
that time "H. U. H. peppermint oil"
has been the standard article the world
over. Hotchkiss from that time until
hla death a few years ago was known
ss the "Peppermint King." and since
his death his sons have carried on the
business. They purchase the Michigan
crop and bring It Bast to Lyons, from
which It Is shipped os "Wsyne county
oil" snd the Hotchkiss family today
virtually dictates the peppermint oil
market of the country.
Oil Adulterated.
The oil goes to the market absolutely
pure, but In the hnnda of the dealers It
Is adulterated with Japanese menthol
and other Inferior essential oils. The
wholesaler makes two pounds ,of oil
from every one he receives from Lyons,
and the retailer makes six pounds out
of every pound he buys from the
wholesaler. If the farmer gets 92 a
pound for hls oil the yrh°l* in dci’ may
sell It for the same price and yet get 24
for It, while the retailer may dispose of
It at the same price and yet get $12
for It. *^he fact Is tbqt he pure oil
would not supply one-tenth of the
world's demand. The former does not
get a heavy prtco for hls crop, but he
Is usually satisfied with 92 a pound, be
low which price It seldom goes. The
enterprise is growing because of the
Increased uses to which the oil Is put.
although It Is believed that fully 95 per
cent, of the output of peppermint oil In
the United States goes Into three arti
cles—chewing gum. candy and medi
cines. A small quantity Is exported to
M- D & S. RY.
