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.

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.

Ernest Atkinson, a youth of 19
from Eugene, is In the city jail be-
cause of a crude attempt to raise a
paycheck from $2.97 to $297. 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

teller held the check and sent for
the police. Atkinson is charged with

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
