TT USED to he that lumber mills
In this district were confronted
by a difficult problem in disposing'
of refuse. Many acres of reclaimed
land about old mill sites are filled
with sawdust, chips and blocks, for
It was only of recent years that facil
. Hies were Installed for the disposal
of it his refuse by burning. Econom
ists viewing these fires in past years
sought for some means of utilizing
the waste, with the result of the de
veloping of hog fuel. Industrial con
ditions in the Pacific northwest are
now such that steam costs can be
brought lower than for the main In
dustrial part of the United States.
Comparisons of costs of hog fuel,
fuel oil and slab wood made by E.
Hippley, engineer, formerly with the
Portland General Electric company,
show hog fuel from 40 per cent to 75
per cent cheaper than other steaming
fuels. A rather exhaustive study of
the fuel situation recently made by
William W. Eastman of the Western
Cooperage company opens a vista of
illimitable possibilities extending so
far as the utilization of small timber
and waste wood in logged-off areas.
Large Hogicrra Installed. '
The Western Cooperage company
plant in the Peninsula district recent
ly Installed two of the largest-sized
hoggers, or machines Jtor grinding up
waste wood from its plant. In the
development of the local market ar
rangements were made for the dis
posal of the entire output, with the
result that a fleet of trucks is sup
plying many laundries, hotels and
smaller manufacturing plants with
the fuel that a few years back was
utter waste. Mr. Eastman can see
great development in the market for
this new fuel. He thinks it will be
possible to compress the chips and
sawdust Into briquets, which wiH be
suitable for household use. Experi
ments arS being conducted along this
line and when completed likely will
result in the marketing of household
briquets, at a price 33 1-3 per cent
lower than for fuels being offered to
day. Cleanliness, lack of ash and
clinkers, complete combustion and a
long fire are advantages assigned to
the new fueL
Increasing problems connected with
the mining of coal tend to boost the
price to the consumer. It is again
pointed out that this section of the
country can develop ample electricity
by water power, and by utilizing the
waste wood have a sufficient supply
of heat units. In any .event the new
Iutch oven system for consuming hog
fuel has proved so successful that the
concerns engaged in its manufacture
in Portland have their entire output
under' contract, with new inquiries
constantly at hand. As a matter of
fact, the demand has exceeded the
supply, and it is reasonable to as
sume that in the near future the
, quantity produced and consumed will
be more than double what it amounts
to at present.
Wlfrf Fuel Gets Its Xante.
Hog fuel derives Its name from the
wood grinding machine called the
hog. It resembles a hog by the noise
and rapidity with which it consumes
mill refuse and reduces it to fine
chips. The size or the chips can be
regulated as desired by adjusting the
knives in the hog. The machine con
sists of two large discs into which
high-speed knives are set. The wood
Is fed Into the hog by an overhead
conveyor and when it comes in con
tact with 36 knives going at the speed
of 650 revolutions per minute it easily
can be conceived how quickly the
wood is transformed into chips. A
conveyor under the hog carries the
fuel to the storage grounds or fuel
bunkers as the case may be.
It is only of recent years the value
of hog fuel has been realized. Here
tofore, the waste from the mill was
always considered a necessary evil
entailing considerable expense to get
rid of it. Large burners with con
veyors had to be maintained and with
constant fire burning in it, it created
& fire hazard, especially during the
dry seasons. Now, with the hojs run
ning whenever the plant is operating,
the burner stands as a sort of a monu
ment, with green grass growing in
the fire pit. Useful fuel is being pro
duced in the place of vast volumes of
useless smoke.
Frodnrt Not All Profit.
The opinion prevails in some quar
ters that the money derived from the
ale of hog fuel is all profit for the
producers. - This is not so, as the
mill owners purchase their logs by
the 1000 feet. It costs them Just as
much for the timber that goes into
hog fuel as it does for the portion
that is utilized for making their fin
ished product. A hog of the large
type requires a 150-horsepower mo
tor to' operate it. In addition, con
veyors for handling it must be main
tained, along with the necessary la
bor that otherwise would not be need
ed. It frequently occurs that a care
less workman allows a piece of metal
to drop into a conveyor, and when this
comes in contact with the revolving
knives they are damaged and must
be replaced.
Since this section of the country is
the greatest producer of lumber and
timber products, it Is correspondingly
the greatest producer of hog fuel.
Xarge consumers of fuel were quick
to realize the saving that could be
effected by utilizing this ground fuel,
and after careful investigation and
numerous tests chose the location of
their plants within the close proximi
ty of the supply: Special devices and
conveying apparatus for handling
hog fuel were built. Involving, large
investments. The saving effected by

the use of this fuel was sufficient to I to 12.50 per unit (200 cubic feet) at I successfully and extensively used for
more than pay for their investment In
less than a year's time, and with a
continuous supply assured for the
future needs, it is safe U predict that
their fuel problem Is solved.
Barges Transport Fuel.
Barges afford the cheapest trans
portation for moving this fuel pro
viding, of course, that the plant is
located on the river or available by
water. . One barge la capable of hold
ing approximately 200 units of fuel.
However, it Is not only the large con
sumers that have taken advantage
of this cheap fuel. Smaller concerns,
using as low as two or three tfnits
a day, have realized the economy ot
It. and are having it delivered to them
with motor trucks. In many Instances
alterations and extensions have been
made to facilitate the handling of It
and In each instance the saving was
sufficient to make the small invest
ment a well-paying proposition. At
this time, this fuel Is worth from VI
the various mills under present condi
tions. The variations in price are con
trolled by the amount consumed and
the length of contract.
Numerous tests have been conduct
ed during the last few years to de
termine the evaporation value of this
fuel and some interesting data have
been compiled concerning It. It has
been established, in a series of tests,
that the average evaporation ot the
unit is 10,000 pounds of water. Fir
hog fuel ranks the highest, and It Is
a well known fact that green wood
mixed with some dry makes the high
est grade of ground fuel.
Gronnd Product Cheapest.
In dollars and cents, ground fuel is
absolutely the cheapest In the north
west today, says Mr. Eastman. There
is considerable to be worked out In
the matter of handling it, but strides
toward its development are being
made so rapidly that it is only a
matter of a short time until it will be
ordinary house-heating furnaces.
Last year a sample of green hog
fuel was submitted to the Oregon
Agricultural college at Corvallis for
laboratory analysis, the report of
which follows:
Moisture content, 87.3 per cent.
Volatile matter, 4.V8 itr cent.
Ftxfd carbon, 16 per cent.
Ash, 0.9 per cent.
The amount of ash from hog fuel
is very small compared to coal, and
being of a very light nature, it is
easily carried away In properly de
signed plants.
Statistics show that the standing
timber in the state of Oregon amounts
to approximately 545.000.000,000 feet.
With so many timber products plants
operating at the present time, and
the prospective future development,
this community can indeed consider
itself fortunate in having a steady
flow of cheap and efficient fuel to
look forward to for years and years
to come.

The story of "The Killer," at the
Circle, from Stewart Edward White's
most recent novel, is built about one
of the most fascinating and sinister
characters that ever figured In fic
tion. Henry Hooper was a killer by
nature. To him, destroying life was
as permissible an act as playing the
piano, or reading bis favorite books.
In a little book he listed the people
he had marked for destruction, then
crossed them off, one by one. when
his wicked plans had been consum
mated.
Because Ruth Emory and her little
brother were part owners of his ranch
they were trapped in hps net. They
were prisoners in his beautiful home
and watched snd spied upon every
moment by the killer or his servants.
He allowed no living thing on hla
ranch that wasnt his. body and soul,
and there was no one the distraught
girl could turn to for help. Her posi
tion was utterly hopeless until an adventure-seeking
young man, disbe
lieving the tales he had heard about
the neighboring rancher, blundered
Into the situation and found all the
adventure and romance anyone could
wish for.
