Franchised Bottler: Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. of Bend.
. By Frederick C. Othman
(United PreM Staff Correspondent)
Washington, April 24 (IP) The
subject today is heavy sugar, or
how to light a cigaret (if you can
find one) with a $1,000 bill and get
away with it, none the poorer.
What I've got is one of those
now-it-can-be-told yarns. The gov
ernment already has announced
that after Pearl Harbor, it called
in all the currency in Hawaii and
replaced it with special Hawaiian
islands money. That was so, if the
Japs did Invade, the cash would be
no good to era any place else.
Now comes Stafford Austin
manager of the Honolulu Planta
tion Co., to tell what a nuisance
money can be when you re trying
to get rid of it in large gobs. He
finally used about $70,000,000 to
boil down some sugar in his re
finery.
It may be that you used some of
this sugar on your corn-flakes this
morning. Austin says it tastes like
any other sugar, however, and not
to worry. He and the treasury de
partment already have done that.
When the experts decided to
call in the regular money in Ha
waii, they issued dollars with the
word "Hawaii" printed on the
backs. The regular currency piled
up in small mountains in the back
rooms of all the banks.
"The treasury people decided it
was too costly to ship this money
back to the mainland," Austin
said. "They thought they'd better
burn it. They took it out to a
cemetery and stoked up the cre
matory, but that money turned
out to be almost fireproof. It
came in tight packages and they
would char, but they wouldn t
burn.
"The firemen nearly burned
out the crematory, trying to burn
their money. Then they Wondered
if the furnaces in our refinery
might do the trick.
"These have strong drafts and
big combustion chamber to burn
bagasse, which is the refuse of
the sugar cane after the sugar

"Pacific Power & Light has made
electricity bur cheapest servant"
says William B. Cone of Bend. Oregon
WT was an important step forward for the
people who live in central Oregon when
Pacific Power & Light came here. We need
PP&L's resources, technical knowledge and
experience to get the right kind of elec
tric service, so essential to growing areas
like this.
"PP&L has increased our power re
sources, improved our electric service and
brought down the price of electricity. A
good electric service company never stands
still it's always growing and improving
and that's what I particularly like about
PP&L. Those fellows are always out in
front with the latest in electrical progress.
"We've got just about everything elec
trical in our home, and PP&L has made
electricity our cheapest servant."
William B. Cone, electrical, supervisor of the Shevlin
Hixon pine mills of Bend, Oregon, came west from
Minnesota in 1910 and started to work for the Allis
Chalmers Company in the electrification of lumber plants
In the Pacific Northwest. During the ensuing years, while
following the practical work, Mr. Cone also continued
his studies of the technical end of electrical engineering.
In 1915 he came to Bend to work on the electrification
of the Shevlin-Hixon mill, continued to work there as
an electrician, and In 1917 was appointed electrical super
visor. Mr. Cone is responsible for the maintenance and
operation of 750 electric motors, ranging in size from
h p. to the big 2S0 h.p. motors that operate the band
saws in the mill. He also has charge of more than a
hundred miles of electrical circuits supplying lighting
and signal control and fire alarm systems.
Ingenious and inventive, Mr. Cone has designed and
put into operation three separate electric services for the
Shevlin mill, and has at times designed electrical mill
equipment ahead of manufacturers. One of his latest
Inventions is an electrically-driven bicycle, powered by
an auto storage battery and an electric starter from a
car a device used to get him through the Vi miles of
mill yard with no waste of time.
