A NEW PROCESS.
A company has been organised at
Vancouver, B. C, capitalised at $1,-
000,000, for the purpose of utilizing
the sawdust and other waste refuse
of the sawmill and shingle mills In
the vicinity of Aberdeen, Wash., for
the manufacture of wood pulp and
1 paper. The company now has In op
eration a small but complete plant In
Vancouver that demonstrates the suc
cess of the new process being used
una or tne innovations or the new
company Is a patented process where
by Douglas fir and other resinous
woods which heretofore paper makers
have been unable to use, owing to
the difficulty In separating the col
lulose from the pitch, resin and essen

AMERICAN FLOUR.
Consul Julean H. Arnold, writing
from Tamsul, says that one firm
there haa been Importing flour Into
Formosa direct from Seattle, and do
ing a splendid business. He adds:
Flour Intended for oriental trade
should be packed In the regulation
quarter-barrel bags (42) pounds. The
Chinese trade demands a atrong flour,
and Is well satisfied with the second
grade quality of the Washington
mills, which furnish practically all of
the 50,000 barrels of American flour
coming Into this market each year. As
the price of rice remains high, the
prospects for heavy shipments of
flour during 190$ are bright. j
Medford's pnstofflce receipts have
passed the $10,000 mnrk. Watch

morning to his Sunday resort (a side
door) In Elgin the saloons are sup
posed to be closed on Sunday. Ac
cording to the statement of Feather
son, he and two companions went to
bod and woke up early the next morn
ing and wanted some more whisky
About S o'clock they went to Nelson's
saloon and rattled the door, and Nel
son replied that It was too early; to
come around later. They returned
few moments later, or at least two of
them did, and found the door broken
open, and they walked In. There Is
little doubt but what either Feather-
son or his companion broke the door
open and Featherson went through
the saloon to where Nelson was sleep
ing and woke him up and took a bot
tie of whisky which was sitting on a
stand by his bed. Featherson took It
and they agreed on the price of the
bottle at 1, which Featherson said
he paid Nelson. Nelson flatly denies
that he received any money for the
liquor. Owing to the fact that had
Nelson acknowledge taking the money
he would acknowledge that he was
selling liquor on Sunday (some dis
credit his statement). Nelson then
tried to eject Featherson, and started
to lead him out when the latter struck
Nelson a severe blew with his fist.
and then walked out. Later Nelson
was found In a bloody condition, and
the arrest followed.
Those who claim to know, state
that Featherson had known Nelson,
for quite a while, and as far as com
mitting Intentional burglary, there Is
nothing In It. He simply was on a
drunk and knew that Nelson slept
there, and had whisky for sale, and
broke In and got It. and are of the
opinion that he paid for It. That he
struck Nelson and punished him se
verely and should have been pun
ished for assaulting him, but resent
the fact that he was sentenced to five
years In the penitentiary. Therefore,
not a few. Including some the Jury
men who sat on the case, are In hope
he will get away from the officers.
as when not In his cups Is not a bad
fellow, and that Nelson was possibly
aa much to blame for his over-indulgence
