WIU Utilize Fir Stamps.
Astoria Dr. L. F. 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.
