WheiK ths recent little snow storm

-mp&ny was busy clearing its tracks,
id property owners were being urged
1 clean, the walks Jn front of their

Orders were given to M. Welch.

'"".'acea Become Bobtt,
By the time the men completed a
ay's or a night's work a good many
of them felt that ham and eggs or a
r eef steak would be about the proper
; hlng.- . They wanted to renew their
cqualntance with such delicacies, so
i fiey hurried up to the county cout
riouse, where Foreman Welch had sent
tiiem forthelr pay.
They went to the county auditor. No
- rovtsion was "made here for paying

"I ant4 hungry, one worker told
Auditor Sam- Martin, "and I can't et
vntil I get my pay." -
Auditor Martin drew a quarter from
Ms pocket and handed it to the snow
noveler. The shoveler hurried out
for his ham and eggs. When he finally
ot his time check cashed he returned
to the auditor's office and paid back
t ae quarter. -

After .awhile one of the : shoveiers
r ntered the oounty commissioners' room

loveler . was looking for Mose Bloch.
s, yes Mose Bloch , was paying off
he men who were in a hurry for their
am and eggs. Mose paid off 43 of
tnem, the total sum amounting. to $103.
Commissioner - Holman ' was indic
ant because Foreman Welch or some
body -had not made arrangements for
the county to pay the men immediately

RENTAL BURDEN TOO
MUCH
R
BUSINESS
Fully 75 Per Cent of Out
standing Bills Can Be Col
lected to Apply on Claims,
Had It not been for the payment of
rental to the R. H. Thompson estate,
owner of the buildiner,' the Multnomah
Hotel company - would have actually
been making money instead of-losing
it, according to testimony given before
A. M. Cannon, referee in bankruptcy,
when the creditors assembled to place
their claims. .! "
But the rent was too heavy, business
was not sufficient to absorb it, the
prospects for 1919 were not sufficient
ly encouraging, and prohibition has cut
off still another source of revenue. .
The hotel company, under the regime
of Roy Yates, had owed the Thompson
estate 124,000 In rent, in addition to
ths $75,000 lien the estate held on the
furniture.
Between $14,000 and $15,000 is owing
to the hotel help, but indications are
that practically all of this will be paid
out of the assets, bills collectible and
the proceeds of stocks on hand. It was
estimated that fully 75 per cent of
the bills outstanding can be collected
and turned in to satisfy the claims. .
"If some one courageous enough to
undertake to conduct the hotel again
can be found, if the rent- can be ad
Justed to a. basis that .will; leave some
profit and if tho overhead can be re
duced, the hotel me y yet be reinstat
ed,'' said Chester- G. Murphy, who is
interested in the adjustment of the
financial difficulties.
Quantity of Waste
In Timber
Prodigious Xross beads Department of
. Commeroe to Make an Investigation
of the Whols Problem. . 1
Waste in the logging Industry In the
United States amounts to 15 to. 20
per cent of the timber cut, or about
a billion-and a half cubic feet of
wood annually. Sawmill waste also
amounts to several billion cubic : feet
of wood, although not all of it is ab
solute waste, says the department of
commerace bulletin.
It was the prodigious waste of
American forest resources that led the
bureau of foreign and domestic com
merce to plan a thorough study of the
methods of utilising the waste prod
ucts of the lumber- Industry, here in
the United States and in those Euro
pean countries that have made .- the
most distinct progress in this line. In
the older and . more thickly settled
countries of the old world, necessity
led to a careful utilization of the for
ests many yeats - before the subject
was seriously discussed in this coun
try. ' " ' - ' j
The annual production of wood pulp
in the United States is valued at over
$80,000,000. Sulphite-pulp makers are
considerably Interested in the possi
ble utilization of the sulphite waste
liquor for the recovery of sulphur or
other profitable utilisation.
- One of the most Interesting possi-
The manufacture of alcohol from
sawdust has hardly passed the experi
mental . stage. i i"1
