The great difficulty lay In the treatment of the wood by . fire, or destructive distillation, whlob '- la ieceasary to obtain the tar and creo ' aofe materials. It la in thla latter method that tha Puget Sound Woed - Producta Company of Seattle will revo- 1 lut ionise the manufacture of such ma terial a. By the system used It la possl- ble to extract every component part of v 'the wood, leaving behind only a chem- - ically pure charcoal, and yet do no dam ' age to the retorta by the intenae beat x necessary for the operation. ' When tha company waa organised In ''Seattle the Chamber of Commerce waa - approached In an effort to obtain the ' aid of that body In securing a alte for the factory necessary for the enter- f i rise. At the same time tha organlsa lon waa requested to send a committee to Victoria to investigate the expert- mental plant In that city, witness a run "' made of a certain amount of wood and eertlfy that the company waa cepHMe -of carrying out the promises made aa " to the quantity of producta that could be extracted from each cord of wood. In . accordance with thla request. George B. Klttlnger, representing the ' rhnmher nf Commerce committee' on r manufactures, and a representative of V the Heattie Times, spem several anjm ' last week in Victoria witnessing a trial ' run of the plant made under their per ' . sonal supervision by Manager Calkins. The test waa made with a cord of ordi nary fir wood obtained from a, wood ' ' - yard near the plant, and every phase of v the run was noted, carefully, from the chipping of the wood to tne nnai oisui latlon of the producta obtained from the ateam and fire retorta In which the wood waa placed af tee-having -bean measured by the wltnesase. . rroxa. One Cord af Wood, ; ' ,h The first treatment eonslsted of pass Ing superheated ateam through the chipped wood to obtain the basis for the . turpentine. The chips after title process were placed In a fire retort and re '. duced to charcoal, the other producta 1, passing off In the form of gaa, which, " being condenaed, furnished . the basis .'. for the tar and creosottng materiala. The two liquids thus obtained were dis tilled and the following final producta .'. obtained as a result of the test with one ' cord of wood: - ., ' 'i ?.6 gallons pure turpentine. 1.7.14 gallons second-grade turpentine, or wood spirits of naphtha , 88 gullons of high-grade tar. , J38.K gallons pyrollgenous acid.

In speaking Of the tests upon his re ,'turn to Seattle Klttlngor an Id he Is ab solutelv convinced of the fairness of the "test all the way through and that the producta were obtained from the orlgl ' nal cord of wood. ' "I am" he said, "sure thatMhe prod- j. nets mentioned In the foregoing starw - ment were all obtained without the use of . any foreign agonta and are the result of the process perfected by Calkins, There Is no doubt the establishment of ' plants for the use of this process will mean great things for Puget sound and will convert into valuahle commodities 'vast qusntltlea of what has hitherto ' been considered only a wsste product of the great timber fields of this section of the country." . . , - find hla sweetheart dead of a broken heart Ha ended hla life with a re volver upon tha green turf that covered her remalna.

SOMETHING NEW FOR PPUTJCIANS - Senator Ankeny Wondora What Will B Result of Direct Primary ' 'la Washington.. Ship subsidy legislation In Washing ton Cuy and the direct primary law in tha state of Washington are two things which are filling tha mind of United Statea-Senator Levy Ankeny of Walla Walla, who Is at the Imperial for a business visit of a few days in Port land. . "I do not enow a thing to talk about." waa tha way Senator Ankeny started hla conversation. Then ha tacked off upon ..e open river, subject, tha smoth ering of the ahtp subsidy bill and the direct primary in hla home state. "I feel confident that we will get tha subsidy blu through congress yet, perhsps at 'the next session. It waa talked to death by tha aenata at the laat session, but It will be revived and passed. I have always thought that a subsidy law -waa something that we of tha northwest ahould have, and I think wa will secure it I have been to dif ferent countries and see the good the law would do tha people of thla section particularly. " "What about tha open river and fur ther legislation for tha upper waters of tha Columbia?" the senator . waa asked. - . "It will ba possible to do mora at tha next session than at -the one Just closed," waa tha reply. "Wa did not have our surveys and. much data which we should have had, but thla will be available at the next session perhaps, and it will then be possible to secure larger and more inclusive appropria tions than haa been the caaa In the past." - Turning to the political aituatlon In Washington. Senator Ankeny waa unlit. formed aa to what would be the next tbtngrtOaheppen - -. 1 "I- think everything Is all right." ha said, meaning hla own chances, per haps, "but I do not know what the ef fect of the new direct primary law will be or how It will work out.. It Is a tool with which tha Washington poli ticians are not very well acquainted, and which perhaps they will not learn to work with for a little while. "A a It appear a to me, however," tha senator continued, "such a law throws tne balance of power entirely Into tha hands of the large cities. Where, under tha old convention aystem, the outly ing districts of the state had a chance to go into a convention with a candidate with a chance to win. now it will be the' large- body of voters - In tha' big el t lee- who - wlU - control - the elections and the offices. It Is easier to hold a large block -of votes- together In- a city than it la to get. any appreciable vote from tha outside districts. For that reason I expect to see tha sta,te and congressional offices filled by the votes of the large cities of Washington In the future." : Senator Ankeny will remain in Port land for a day or so to attend to pri vate business and will then return to hla home in Walla Walla. , - - I 'Y7 Showing of the Season's Best Patterns in Carpets and Rugs Drapery and Upholstery Ma terials; Wall Paper and Fabrics ACi J ho- Of imparlance at this season is the announcement from ourcar pet, drapery and decorative departments of the arrival and ready display of many of the new spring, floor coverings, drapery,, up holstery and decorative fabrics, lace curtains, etc. a showing un- surnassed bv those of previous spring seasons larger and better- selections a gathering that represents the latest and best from the looms of the leading manufacturers.
