Pi tr Fifteen Eat Oregonian Round-Up Souvenir Edition WaiMakes Insatiable Demand for Munitions Cotton Prove Important in Connection With European War: Census Bateau Seek Information. i ' 'V I: i The European wnr has created an insatiable demand for ammunition New establishments are being erected lor the manufacture of eiploslvcs, id the possibility of Increased prof it If Inducing firmi engaged In other Industries to enter this field. Thlf state of affairs, of course, has an Important effect on the price of cot ton, which Is largely used as a mate rial In the manufacture of explosives, Director Rogers, of the bureau of the census at Washington, Is carrying aa extensive correspondence In hi endeavor to obtain statistics of all establishment using cotton as a ma terial. Consumers of cotton natural ly fleelro to keep the total quantity used In all lines of Industry, and they cam aid In the compilation of accur ate statistics by furnishing the cen sus bureau at Washington with the a&jags and addressee of establlsh Veate which have begun the use of cotton as a raw material since the commencement of the European war. Mr. Rogers says that a great many letters are being received requesting laforaatlon as to the quantity of cot ton and linters used In the manufac ture of explosives. Some express the fear that the bureau is not aware of the extent to which these materials are now being used for this purpose. The director desires to state that the census bureau Is aware of the great'y Increased demand for coton and lin ters, and has been endeavoring to col lect complete statistics concerning the total quantity used by all con sumers of cotton, In compliance with the law which requires monthly re ports on this subject. Statistic Not Available. Unfortunately It la Impossible to supply statistics as to the amount of cettnn used in the manufacture of ex plosives alone. The act of congress authorising the collection of cotton statistics directs the census bureau "to collect and publish statistics con cerning the quantity of raw cotton consumed 1n manufacturing estab lishments of every character." While some manufacturers of explo sives purchase the raw cotton and subject It to ths necessary processes ef purification In their own estab lishments, many of them buy It from other establishments which purify and treat the fiber so as to render it suitable for use In the manufacture of explosives. Many of these estab lishments prepare cotton not only for manufacturers of explosives but also for manufacturers of wholly dif ferent products, and It Is not feasible for the census bureau to obtain separ. ate attalsttcs of the amount of purl fled cotton trned out by such estab lishments for use In the manufac ture of explosives. There has been a great Increase In recent years In the production of linters and hull fiber. Linters are obtained at the oil mills by reglnnlng the cottonseed, the object being to remove the short fibers so that the fine particles of the kernel will not be carried off with the hulls, making possible a greater yield of oil and meal. The total quantity , of linters obtained from the crop of 1899 was 114,144 bales of BOO pounds each; but fifteen years later the output of this by-product of the cottonseed-oil Industry had Increased by more than A Round-Up Rope Performer his bureau is defined and limited by law. He appreciates the Importance of statistics concerning the annual production of clothing and food pro ducts, of chemicals, of metal and wood products, etc., but congress has not authorized the collection of such statistics, and until it does so his bu reau cannot undertake the work.

THE OLD COWMAN'S APPEAL. (By Chaa. Badger Clark, Jr.) I rode acrows a valley range I hadn't seen for years; The trail was all so spoilt and strange It nearly fetched the tears. I had to let the fences down, The fussy lanes ran wrong, And each new line would make me swear And hum this little song: Twas good to live when all the sod, Without no fence or fuss, Belonged In partnership to God, The government and us. With skyline bounds from east to west And room to go and come, I loved my fellowman the best When he was scattered some. When my old soul hunts range and rest Beyond the Great Divide, Just plant me In some stretch out west That's sunny, lone and wide. Let cattle rub my tombstone round And coyotes mourn their kin; Let horses come and paw my mound, But don't you fence it in. I Calls on Troop to Think of the I Greater Kingdom of Italy When tho Knrmy's lSutlrtN are Hying Fast and Men arc Being Torn to hlircds by Bursting Shell!). BY ALICE KOHE, (I'nited Tress Staff Correspondent.) HOME, Aug. 25. (By Mail.) "The singing chaplain of Kingdom-come" tiny called him up In the blood drenched valley of the Isonzo. For when the Austrian bullets were chicking past and the shrapnel was tearing human lives Into shreds and bombs were making a writhing hell war he typified the spirit of religious Itajy, bound to the church but bound to the Patrla by blood ties. All the soldiers loved this brave lit tle chaplain who was always there to give the saving rites to the sol diers who fell. The first Sunday that Giannuzzl cel ebrated mass on the battlefield and on "redeemed" Italian soil, before one of the portable army altars supplied Italy by the pope, when he saw the Italian soldiers gather round worship ing the church and state in one, as he said, his prayer had been answered. Then he hurried away to help some poor fellow cross the Divide into King dom Come. "Don't be afraid of Austrian bul lets think of Kingdom Come," he cried while the officers endeavored to dissuade him from taking so many chances. But the army chaplain whose thoughts are of his country and of his religion finds his place beside the men who are falling. And Giannuzzl as always near the front. "They wouldn't kill a priest" gasp ed a young soldier from Tlvolll, his lung pierced by an Austrian bullet. The chaplain was bending over him and the last rites of the church were being given the dying boy when a bullet flying true and certain struck GYPSUM.

Hull f:ber Is obtained by a treat ment of the hulls which breaks tip their structure and mukes available short fibers which have not been re moved In the dolinting process. Sev eral establishments have been en gaged in the production of hull fiber for a number of years, and addition al ones are taking up this line of man ufacture. The publication of statistics of cot ton production and consumption has called public attention to the desira bility of similar data concerning nu merous other and totally different commodities. The census bureau I receiving numerous roquests for such data concerning various articles the production of which has beijn stimu lated by the European war or by economic conditions due In a measure to tho war. , There seems to te a general Im pression that the census bureau Is engaged In the collection of such statlKtlcs. Director Rogers wishes to emphasize the fnct thnt tho work of of that mountain paradise, tho little chaplain of Ctiati'llann was calling to the men who were fighting to think of tho Greater Kingdom of Italy and to the men who were falling to think of the still Greater Kingdom to Come. In between battles the little priest from Castellano, who was one of the flint to offer his services as an army chaplain, used to sing as the bersag lleri and the other soldiers had never henrd singing. Sometimes his eyes grew dim as he thought of his parish in Castellano and his singing school founded In honor of the great Va tican music master Ternsl, where he tnught the boys of Castellano to slmr the beautiful church music. I'letro Ciinnnuzio, lieutenant chaplain of the regiment left behind him one of the accomplished ambitions of his llfo a real singing school, when he march ed awav for the .war. But when he saw tho stars upon his arm he sa'd he had done a bigger thing, he hart i seen a great bond woven between the! country he loved nnd the church he ! worshipped. Olnnnuzzl was one of those brave priests who had suffered, b ng when dissensions between church nnd state made the dutv of Italian ( clergy obscure. When ,he marched to him. He died there on the battlefield with the sacred words of the church oti hii lips the first Italian army ihaplaln to full.
