THREE INTERESTING NOTES
. A Statesman reporter jn his rounds,
yesterday, met Rcv4 C. j Aklerson. oi
Salem. -Mr. Alderson was grieving
-son.cwhat lccause the igophers have
cut off all the roots of jone of his 6
.1 yea-r old Winter Netlisi trees. Mr.
Aklerson says, he has in;his possession
calfskin saddlepocket. tanned twenty
years ago at Rock creekl in Clackamas
county, with the. extract of fir ba'k.
The leather is in splendid condition,
although it has 4ee: iU constant use.
It is generally sitppos ed that Hemlock
bark is the est for this! purpose, next
to oak. Iut the experience of 'Mr.
erson would indicate that fir bark is
very good. Mr. Alderson say that hv
has some ash and white oak that art
equal to any he ever saw. He got the
pieces out of his woodpile. - He thinks
f he jeplc of Salem burn up annually
thousands of dollars worth of oak. that
could be tised in ntfuvu.-icUiring. ! Some
