Furnaces of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving Fed With Costly Ma terlaj $7,000,000 Worth of Cancel led Stamps burned in Two Months Stamps that cost the United States government $1,000,000 have been burned for fuel in the furnaces of the bureau of fngravlne and nrintlnc. at Washington, D. C, For nearly month the firemen at the bureau have been shoveling Into the furnaces doc umentary revenuo stamps at the rate of $40,000 dally. The stamps were burned with coal with satisfactory re suits. It has been estimated that they have furnished fuel equivalent to ton of coal a day and by uslns them for ruel the government has saved $150. These stamps were returned to the treasury upon the repeal of the war taxes. They were dumped into the troas rry by the ton. The fact that many or them were either printed on or af fixed to bank checks, which also were turned in, :ncreased the mass, which was carefully stored In the' basement of the treasury. The law requires that all stamps that have been redeemed bo burned atd these would have been .destroyed n the usual way had not the chief of the printing bureau of engraving and printing suggested that they be used lor fuel. The chief attributes his in splratlon to the coal famine which has put the heads of all thd govern ment departments to their wits' end to keep their furnaces supplied with fuel. An experiment showed that the stamps and checks with coal could be burned to the economy of the fuel supply and then every box and bale was dumped into 'the engine room of tho bureau of printing and engraving. An omciai or the treasury who us ually is detailed to take charce of the destruction of defective 3tamps. kept tab on every consignment, and saw that Its contents were destroyed. Defective stamps and those returned for redemption usually are burned In a furnace built especially for that pur pose in the treasury basement. In 18J8, following the abolishment of the newspaper and periodical stamps, those outstanding were call ed in and there was a Arc In the basement of the treasury every day for months. The face value of the stamps de stroyed was about $10,000,000. ;ast winter the remainder of the beautiful Pan-American stamps were burned, the department, unfortunate ly, giving its pledge that all stamps lemainlng on hand after October 30 would be destroyed. Two months were occupied in burning these stamps. Their actual face value was about $7,000,000.

The Adams Advance publishes a touching farewell, a third of a column in length, to Joe Ell, of this city, in its Issue of Dec. 26. The article pays Mr. Ell many high compliments as a private citizen, bus iness man and as captain of Pendle ton's volunteer Are department. which position he held for many years, it recounts his many splendid business qualities which have result ed In well merited success and in tone that is intended to bring tears to the eyes of the marble angel in tne tombstone warehouse, wishes him success whithersoever he goeth. The report that Mr. Ell has sold out his harness and saddle business in this city is incorrect He appreciates tne neat obituaries which have al ready been written by several papers of the county, but desires to correct the report that he has gone out of business. .
