Burning Mill Waste Called Great Crime Chemists Say Waste! Would Produce ' Alcohol LOS ANGELES. That present dis posal of mill waste by burning is an economic crime for which the future generations will suffer was the declaration of many attending the national convention of the American Chemical society, which has just con cluded Its sessions here. In one room was a little group of organic chemists, discussing the stu pendous possibilities of extracting wood alcohol from the sawmill wastes of the Pacific northwest at a price less than that now paid for commer cial gasoline. Prominent at the conference was Prof. Floyd E. Hoyland of the Ore gon Agricultural college. "Distillation of alcohol from saw dust is a commercial possibility," he explained, reading a paper on his successful experiment in distilling oil from Port Orford and Coos Bay cedar. "There is enough sawdust burning in the mills of the northwest dally to make enough alcohol to run every automobile in the United States and leave a surplus for export. "This sawdust and other waste is now being burned, and the disposal is one of the greatest economic crimes of the century." President's Son a Soldier Ford Tube Is Sawyer's A i d In Bend Woods Wood Railway To Decrease Hauling Cost New Plan Tried Out at Junction City In order to beat the high cost of rail transportation and to reach a huge tract of timber, an 18 mile wooden railroad is now being built between Lake creek and Junction City, Oregon. It Is estimated that this road will be able to transport lumber the en tire 18 miles at an average cost of 60c per thousand, as against a prob able $3.00 if a regular steam rail road were installed. The cost of the road bed. and wooden rails is expected to be about J5.000 per mile, making the cost of 'the entire road less than 1100, 000. New" highways constructed through the same area have cost as high as' 150,000 per mile. All lumber handled on the road will be delivered to the Horton Lum ber company at Junctton City. Breaks Records With Simple Appli ance We don't know whether to be lieve this or not, but it might be so: According to the latest issue of the 4L Bulletin, E. F. Wasco, a saw yer working for the Brooks-Ssan-lon Lumber company at Bend, has felled 273,000 feet of logs during May and has been high man over 40 sets of falters for three months. using no partner but a Ford inner tube. The way he does it is this: He drives an iron stake in the 'ground about four feet from the tree, fastens the inner tube to it and to the free end of the saw, grabs the other end and the party is on Now all the boys are trying the stunt, but none of them seems to be able to make It pay like Wasco does.

Brown Denies He Will Rule Mexican Army Report Is Unfounded, Military Expert Declares Special (By carrier pigeon) Pelican Bay Camp 2, August 12. --Heated denials that he intended to take full charge of the Mexican army every winter for the next four years were given out today to the Lumberlogue correspondent in an exclusive interview by Captain John J. Brown. "You may say for me that 1 will not fight again until 1926", Brown declared. "The situation In Mexico has gone downhill. Poor publicity re sulted In meager attendance at the last two wars and the gate receipts have shown a tendency to drop. I cannot afford to risk my reputa tion at what might turn out to be a flivver. "Kor the next year or two, at least, I shall continue to better my technique by practicing on my tracklayiiig squad, sent here di rectly from Mexico. This will keep me in condition. It I can make those boys lay track I can do any thing. The future will take care of Itself." Captain Brown's Pelican Bay force has been augmented by the addition of Enrico Gomez, who was especially Imported from C'hllo quln and who acts as straw boss.

One feature of the reforestation plan of special interest Is develop- meal of fire lines of Elder anil broad J leaf specie along logging spurs, which will subdivide the cut over 1 and facilitate protection of the young growth. In explaining the program Mr. I Nelson said that In the course of log-! glng care is being taken to remove all snags large enough to consti tute fire Ituznrd, Slash disposal is being carried on In accordance with state laws, and carefully organized fire patrol is maintained to protect cut over lands as well as virgin tim ber. "The program Is being mapped out now for u period of five years because of the present rnpld strides being taken by the state and federad gov ernment in reforestation work." said Mr. Nelson. "At the end of Hint period It may he possible to syn chronize our program with those of the state and federal government, but ihe Long lioll Lumber company Is Instituting this program of Its own accord and at Its own expense. Actual reforestation will begin Immediately."
