STUMPS OF LITTLE VALUE By-Products Would Not Pay Cost ol Clearing Lands.' ASTORIA. Or., Oct. 6. Several months ago Dr. L. F.

His findings have been verified by the department at Washington and report on the result has been received here. In distilling.

He says the de mand for charcoal In this part of the country is not great and doubts whether a market for large quantities can be worked up. He presents figures to show that the property-owner could through distilling plants secure J10 to 30 an acre that could be applied to the cost of clear ing the land, which is estimated to cost from 1160 to 200 an acre.
