WOOD PULP AND SAWMILL WASTE To insure a pulp wood supply to meet adequately the future needs of the country seems one of the most important of the many forest problems of the United States. Statistics collected by government experts, however, show that there are possibili ties in the field of invention for the relief of the drain on the country's remaining pulp wood forests by devising means of utilizing sawmill waste. It is estimated that there are four and one-half million cords of slabs destroyed in refuse burners of the lumber mills of the country each year. The wood used for pulp last year amounted to four million cords, about a quarter of which had to be import ed. The mill waste estimate is based on a recent canvass of some of the larger mills of the country, by the United States forest service, which established t ie interesting fact that mills having an aggregate cut or 5.440,000,000 board feet had a final waste of 1,870,000 cords of slabs after the best had been used for lath. Assuming these mills to be representative, it is seen that there is still considerable waste in forest products at the mill even after the earnest efforts of lumbermen during the last ten years to bring abotit a closer utilization of the whole tree. These figures make it look as if American inventors, who are performing wonderful feats in other fields, should get down to the consideration of methods to make these waste slabs available for the pulp makers. Work along this line would also be likely to show the way for utilization of thousands of tons of sawdust which are now wasted each year. It is true that some utilization is being made of mill waste at present, but in most cases it is only the larger and more modern plants that are even making any attempts in this line. Then, as it is, the plants which use the waste slabs, after laths are made, often waste the sawdust, and those which use the sawdust waste the slabs. The slab residue from the lumber cut of the country is estimated to amount to about 14,000,000 cords, of which about 6,000,000, with an average value of $1.40 a cord, is sold for fuel, 3,500,000 burned by the mills for fuel, and 4,500,000 sent to the refuse burners. This last figure shows the enormous quantity of forest product that is pure waste. The iron furnace slag heaps have been seized upon by the brick maker, and the screening dump of the coal mines has be come a valuable source of raw material for the briquette manu facturer. Experts say that it may prove possible to make just as good use of the waste heaps of the lumber mills if slabs and saw dust can be converted into pulp. THt'KNDAY. NOVEMBER S.

The production of gold in the United States has trebled since 1880, and is increasing rapidly as new fields are opened up and better processes of working refractory ores are utilized. The enormous increase in gold supply since the rich mines of Austra lia, South Africa and Alaska were opened has given rise to spec ulation as to whether or not gold will not at some time become so plentiful as to be dethroned from the kingdom of precious met als, which position it has held since the earliest known times. It may be that, in a few generations, some rarer and equally dura ble and attractive, and therefore more precious metal, will sup plant gold as the universal standard of material values. In the- meantime, however, have faith in your gold. We are all familiar with the man who will not listen to rea son. His head is set, his opinion is formed, and nothing will turn him, says the Oregon Tradesman. He shakes argument from him as a dog shakes water from his shaggy hide. Such a fixed and immutable stand is excellent when the premises on which he has founded it are correct. Before one makes up his mind fully on any one point he should be receptive. He should hearken to both sides, get all the facts and figures available, and then make up his mind carefully. Real estate dealers in Eugene report that the most trou blesome thing about their business this fall is to secure houses for the newcomers. A similar condition is said to exist in all the prncipal towns of Western Oregon, indicating the wonderful growth of the state since the westward movement set in. There is room in Oregon for several times the present population and we believe there will be no cessation of immigration until the population is even more congested than it is- in the oldest of the Eastern states. EUGENE BOY ARRESTED Ernest Atkinson, Aged 19.

He had been working for the North Bank line and the check was given him several days ago. Making erasures with a sharp penknife or razor, he effected the necessary changes in the cheek and presented it yesterday morning to the United States Nation al Bank to be cashed. The paving teller held the check and sent for the police. Atkinson is charged with forgery.—Oregonian. The packet craft “Defeat” will start on its trip up Salt River tonight with its accustomed promptness, and as ?** usua' ah the staterooms will be fully occupied. From the present outlook the passenger list will be larger than usual this year, for there will be something like six defeated presidential candidates aboard. But the craft is a staunch one and will accommodate all who can gain a foothold on her deck. A Boston preacher announces that he will not marry con sumptives, or men whose incomes are less than $12 per week. The first is not a question for a layman, but we venture to say that there are thousands of good men, many of them highly suc cessful, who have married on an income of $12 a week, or less. In a Boston divorce suit the woman charges her husband with having thrown a pie in her face, and he a Harvard man. We fear this will encourage the idea that college education fails to make a man practical, unless he proves that he was merely try ing to persuade her to eat the pie without a knife. “Lucky” Baldwin is out with an offer to bet $5,000 to $40,- 009 that the California legislature will not make betting at a race track illegal at its next session.
