A BUSINESS WAY
All Property Owners Except One
Agree to Give the Necessary Strip
Strip of Land in Front of Their
Property.
A movement, headed by T. H.
Moore, is on foot to widen West
sixth street five feet on each side
troiu the railroad right of way to
Validate avenue This will ma k-
West Seventh street 70 feet wide
and make it a good business street.
All but one property owner A.
M. Woodford has agreed to givb
ihe ,-irip of land needed. In a state
ment made in writing, Mr. Wood
lord states that the only way the
city can acquire the 100-foot strip
in front of his place is to condemn
it and pay damages. He states that
he considers the hedge in front of his
place too valuable to sacrifice. Other
,-roperty owners will ask the city
eouneil to authorize the eondemnu
Uou proceedings as per application
row on file with the city recorder.
Those who have agreed to give the
live-foot strip in front of their prop
i riy arc: .Moore, 'KiO feet; Knepp,
') feet; Mrnndeuhiirg, 100 feet; Ha
ter. 100 feet; Halley, 120 feet;

Whiteside 1 00 feet, Scherrnerhorn

"The pro-pects of Sixth street be
i (lining the business street of the fu
ture are excellent, said Mr. Moore.
'e-.l Seventh street is blocked by
ihe park and schoolhouse and resi-
deiiee-;, tine street will not accom
modate the business if the city con
tinues to grow, and West Sixth street
the logical place for it. Willi
ic st reel widened there is nothing
interfere with its being an ideal
bii-hie-s street. Many of the disad
vantage- poeed by Either streets
are avoided, and as there are no per
1'ianent improvements in the way,
there is nothing to prevent uniform
improvement. Seventh street is tho
city's main business thoroughfare,
and the parallel street will in all
probability catch the business."

"It is of the utmost importance,'

"Then shall the republican party

NEW PROCESS WILL BE
BOON TO LUMBERMEN
MINNKAPOMS, .Mutch 30. What
is considered a significant industrial
discovery is claimed by Dean George
It. Frankfurter of the College of
Chemistry of the I'liiversity of Min
nesota. It means, he asserts, that
the ('nited States will produce a
hundred times as much wood pulp pa
per ns was believed possiblo and that
every cord of fir lumber will yield
1' 1 0 profit on by-products nlono nnd
that the greater part of the 00 per
cent of a treo now wasted will be
turned into profit.
The perfected process consists of
taking small pieces of waste wood or
dust, laying them on a steel incline
ever n furnace and subjecting them
lo a chemical process of distillation
carbon bi-sulpliidc or gasoline is
poured over the sawdust, dissolving
the turpentine, and rosin, which puss
ff as gas into a coil of pipe lead
ing to a lank. The process is simi
lar lo the distillation of sugar.
'I'lie wood pulp remains free from
pitch and is suitable, it is asserted,
lor the manufacture of paper. Tho
existing method of distillation left
(he pulp in Hie form of charcoal.
