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."

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.

The way he does it is this:

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.
He Is known as "The Chicken"
and wears a huge hat with much
aplomb. His capacity to stand up
under fire has not been demonstrated.
