What for a long period of years
was formerly waste product of lum
ber and time is now being largely
ntitilized. As instances: Sawdust,
that was dumped in some conven
ient place, or hauled to and cast
into flowing streams, is being con
verted into artificial woodwork, be
ing made into a solid mass by hv.
draolic pressure and the application
of intense heat. This can be mold
ing into any shape, is susceptible of
a brilliant polish, and possesses a
durability equal to that of ebony,
rosewood and mahogany. This is
much used by French cabinet mak
ers.
Acetic acid, wood i aphtha, and
tar from s-iwdust is oue of the Iktcst
enti rprlues in Norway, and a factory
is in opeistion capable of di-tilling
40,(M) tons of sawdust a year.
Experiments have demonstrated
that alcohol in paying quantities
can tie obtained frotn either coarse
or fine sawdust.
Pine sawdust,
however, yields the purer alcohol.
The quantity of alcohol obtained
from 220 pounds of air-dried saw
dust was seven to eight quarts.
There is no limit to tbe rang* of
of woods suitable for paper-making.
The value of pulp wood entered for
consumption in tbe United Slates

A Good Blend-
“ When I look to the springs from
which my blood descends, the first
ancestors I ever heard of were a
Scotchman, who was half English,
and a German woman, who was half
French. Of my immediate progen
itors, my mother was from New
England and my mother was from
the South. In this bewilderment
of origin and experience I can only
put on an aspect o f deep humility in
any gathering of favorite sous, and
confess that I am nothing but an
American.”
These words of the Secretary of
State at the Ohio banquet are in
themselves proof of the fino quality
of the result of the combination he
describes, showing the grace, the
wit, the souud sense, and the simple
and sturdy patriotism of the man.
The representatives of the various
copies from whom Mr. Hay fraces
is descent may appropriate at dis
cretion the traits he so uappily
unites; Americans can modestly
claim credit and render thanks for
tho whole.— N. Y. Times.

Engineer Die« lo Save Live«-
Two lives were lost in a wreok
due to a washout on Meacham
Creek, on the O. R. A *N. Railroad
at 6 o'clock Sunday morning. , By
sticking to his post in the face of
certain death. Engineer Tatty, of
the wrecked train, saved ibe lives of
at least a score of passengers. He
applied the airbrakes just in time to
prevent the rear car toppling into
the creek. He was roasted alive in
the cab of his engino.
Tbe west-bound passenger, No. 1,
was saved from a similar disaster by
being seven hours late.— Journal.
Defeated by Ladrones-
Manila, Jan. 2fi.—It is reported
here that the volunteer forces or
ganized at Bolinao, Province of
/.ambnles, for the purpose of dis
posing of the Ladrones in that vicin
ity, has lieen defeated and three
Americans, including Mr. Osborn, a
teacher was killed. The Ladrones
outnumbered the volunteers, sur
rounded the latter nnd boloed them.
The Americans died fighting. The
details of the affair obtainable at
present are meager.

can be done in canning fruits on the

irk’s outfit only cost about $50. Tbe
work which Mr. Dimick and several
other orchsrdista in Oregon and
Washington have done in canning
fruits in a commercial way with an
inexpensive outfit shows that there
is no trouble'in doing this work
satisfactorily. The main obstacles
to the success of the business which
suggest themselves are the estab
lishing of reputation for the manv
brands with small outputs and the
unreliable product which would be
made by some of those who go into
the business. If all the small plauts
did first class work they could pool
their products nnd sell under one
brand, which would secure a repu
tation with comparative ease.—Ore
