He was convicted, and sentenc ed to dlsmlssul from the army, but because of his great services to the nation In his explorations the sentence was suspended. Through the influence of Ben ton, he was able to organize an other expedition, and he left again lor Pacific Coast, humili ated to the core and felling that' his career had ended In complete disgrace, . j . . . , WHILE the court martial was In progress, Fremont re ceived word that the friend With whom he had left the $3,000 had' betrayed his trust and Instead of buying un estate In the Monterey hills had bought ' the Mariposa grant, back lip lh' the Sierra. lie started for California again With the idea of finding the trai tor and laying upon him the heavy hand of retribution. Tak ing it ull In till, It would have been hard to find a gloomier man than Fremont when he de parted this time for the West. JUST then fate never Indiffer ent to Fremont; always ready to shower him wllh the best or with the worst interven ed again. At Santa Fe he learned of the discovery of gold In California and WHERE and knew Instant ly that his Mariposa grant was In the very 'center of the dis covery. A few days later, he en countered 25 peons returning to Mexico and hired them and took them back to dig gold for him. His anger at his recreant friend promptly 'evaporated. Ills despised Mariposa grant made him the richest man in America. ONE of his first acts was to bring his beautiful and talent ed wife, Jessie Benton Fremont, to the West, and together they tackled the Job of developing the Mariposa grant. She worked side by side with him. Great wealth Was soon theirs. They bought a ready-cut house to be brought from China, and when It arrived they erected It In the sand dunes of what was then San Franelso, practically at the present site of the Palace hotel. Here they entertained tile great and lite famous and the adventurous who were pouring Into the gold-fields In a steady stream. For a reasonable length ot time, they lived an idyllic life - -all the more Idyllic because I hey were working hard and ac complishing. THEN Fremont's unlucky star came back Into the ascendant. Through land title troubles -always present In early Califor nia lie lost his Mariposa grant. His Investments hadn't been too sound, and his wealth rvaporulcd. He came hack to Missouri a mined man. THE war between the states, which had been hanging so long like a dark cloud, broke about that time. Fremont enter- VALUES IN WOOD WASTE By Charles WE are hearing a great deal these days concerning pro grams for utilization of Wood waste. Congressman Har ris Ellsworth has been very active in focusing national at tention upon the problem and has been successful in secur ing authority for industrial alcohol plants which will salvage a considerable quantity of waste material when development is completed. :Just how important it is to find ways of utilizing the materials we are so recklessly destroying at present can be realized when we study just how great this waste is. A booklet, Lumber Industry Facts, recently published by the National Lumber association, covering important data connected with the lumber industry, graphically displays the prodigal manner in which we have been wasting our re sources. Of the wood in, a forest, 33.3 per cent goes into lum ber. 11.2 per cent of the trees are defective, small or other wise unmerchantable. Tops, limbs, stumps, etc., amount to 16.8 per cent. Other losses are bark 9.3 per cent, sawdust 9.8 per cent, slabs 6.3 per cent, edgings and trimmings 6.3 per cent, while careless handling, seasoning wastej and miscel laneous causes take a total of 7 per cent. But the waste is even more pronounced in other opera tions. When a merchantable tree is cut, 18.9 per cent of its volume is left in the logging woods to be burned. Mill waste, including bark, sawdust slabs, trimmings and other losses amount to 43,5 per cent. Only 37.6 per cent of the tree actually goes into seasoned unpinned lumber. Even after the lumber gets into the manufacturing pro cess there is a heavy loss. There is, for instance, a waste of 15 per cent of the lumber used in building trades; 18 per cent in lumber used for boxes; 11 per cent in lumber used for car construction; 25 per cent in lumber used for fur niture. From these figures it is apparent that the lumber indus try is wasting a staggering percentage of our forest re sources. Research now in progress indicates that the portions of the tree we have been wasting contain greater potential values than are found in the small amount we have made into lumber and have turned into the West's major industry. One interesting fact is that rayon can be produced more economically from wood than from cotton. In this same field are cellophane and the cellulose plastics. There is every prospect that much of the wood going into construc tion channels in the future will be in the form of moulded and pressed woods which will utilize all of the tree rather than the small portion now being cut into lumber. A process is now being developed for salvaging the bark of the Douglas fir for cork. The United States has been tiolely dependent upon imported supplies of cork in the past. Now, with the methods recently put into use, we can pro duce frortv domestic tree bark all of the cork wo need for the hundreds of uses to Which that material is put. Industrial alcohol, feed concentrates, sugar, lignin and many other by-products are being developed from wood, all utilizing those portions of the trees now being burned, left to rot, or otherwise wasted. It is 'to be hoped that the industry gets its new processes for manufacture of profitable items from wood waste into operation before too much of the vast resources we have in Douglas county have been lost. ed the army again, and served faithfully and well In the Union campaigns of the west. By the end of the war, he had risen to be n general. He ran for President. He was defeated. By then his unlucky star was permanently in the sky. After his defeat, he disappeared from public life. A strange man this Fremont, who has left his name scatter ed all over the West, especially In southern Oregon. By SUSAN While Mrs. B KRNR's tltlan tressed secretary, Is quietly go ing mad taking corrections and program changes --which will mean of course that you'll have to watch for time changes on your favorite programs we thought we'd fust like to say a hearty "thank you" to all the generous women In Douglas county who have been pouring In their dimes and dollars today for the March of Dimes. We know, of course, that there are lots of nice people In every com munity In every state -but, hon estly, If you'd have been around here today you'd have realized too that Douglas county has more than average. Anil right In line with this- don't forget that there's a full hour show between six and seven on Sunday night It's n March of Dimes publicity program to tell you a little bit about the work and the need for funds. Eddie Cantor, Ida Luplno and Edward G. Kohlnson will appear--which In Itself guarantees jgood entertainment. Cleveland Symphony presents a thirty-minute concert at 8. Jack Benny and cast do imother show from one of the camps at 8:30 and don't forget First' Nighter at 3 o'etoek in lite afternoon. See you Monday and "thanks" again for those dimes, dollai-s-ainl the big checks, too. DIALffpLOG V. Stanton Myrtle Creek Has Organization for War Bond Drive. G. R.
