Hawley, an ex pert in the forestry service of the Department of Agriculture, arrived In Astoria recently, arrangements having been made with blm by the Chamber of Commerce whereby he will remalo here for a goodly por tion of the summer in an effort to devise a plan whereby the logged -off land of this section may be profitably cleared for agricultural purpoeea. He Is well acqaalnted wltb the various by-products' tbat can be made from stumps of tbe Southern States, and he brings wtth him a considerable laboratory appartus. which he will aet up here, for the purpose of making experiments on Douglas fir, apruce and hemlock, which abound In thta section. In speaking of the work that the Chamber of Commerce baa called to his attention. Dr. Hawley aaid that while It was too early to outline any general plan ot action, be bad In mind In a general way a proposition that he believed might later be worked out satisfactorily. In brief, it Is to bring In touch with the own ers of stump land In tbia section the manufacturers of by-products from stumps and wood refuse. . He has conceived that If very good financial results can be had by these manufacturer In the South, where they must pay for their atumps, that they should at least be able to oper ate here on the basts of having the stump furnished to them. This would at least enable the land here to be cleared at a very low cost, and It might be without coat, or even with aome profit. State Republican Convention.
