THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON'. FIVE r. si mm" Ml OLD TiLI FAV0I31TE v. .. Oaklanders Present Governor Withycombe with Many v Useful Gifts ; SFEA w e Thirty-six Million Cords of Wood Destroyed Yearly (From Forest Service.) There are more than 48,000 sawmills in the United States, and their output of waste in the form of sawdust, shav ings, slags, and other wood refuse, is ostimated as M,000,000 cords per' year. Thii is equal to over 4 1-2 billion cubic foot of wnste, which is the capacity of a bin one-half mile high with a base covering a 40-acre lot. Or, considering each cord to contain SO cubic feet of solid wood with all the cracks and air spaces takon out, these 30,000,000 cords would make a block of wood more than a quarter of a mile on each edge. Perhaps ono-half of this so-called waste product is not strictly speaking wasted, but serves a useful purpose as fuel undor the boilers. Much of the 1S.000.000 cords not only serves no useful purpose, but in most esses ts a source oi inconvenience mm danger and costs the mill time and money. , Sawmill waste is disposed of in v- tnni wars RnmA froeft in the local fuel market, some to pulp mills or to wood lUNlllll.l.M'11 iniHB.

However, the most common Biethod of getting rid of wasto is by oeiieve toe otor Car BUT our opinion would not be of any particular importance to you if it did not coincide with the facts. We only want you to look the market over carefully. Then we absolutely know that you will agree with us1 In the first place there is the remarkable Maxwell engine. N( four", cylinder motor of its size has more "pep" or go to it regardless of the price of the car it drives. It will climb lulls-on high gear ia a manner that will astonish you. It is quiet and works day in and day out with a sound, business like hum that is good to hear. Any engineer will compliment the design of the chassis And those who are not engineers cannot fail to note its simplicity and staunch construc tion. As for what it is made of, we can tiuthfully say that better material cannot be bought The operation of the car is simplicity itself the brakes are powerful- the springs are long and flexible the axles are strong and the steering apparatus, Kke the rest of the chassis, is built to stand the most severe service the car may ever have to face, wherever or however it is used. Then if you consider looks important, and mot people do, you will not find a more attractive car than the Maxwell at anywhere near the puce. And it comes to you fully equipped with all the attachments you will ever want or need; electric starter and lights, demountable rims, one man top,1 - self -ventilating, ram-vision windshield, etc. All for $655 (fire passenger, touring car) or 4635 (two passenger roadster). - We know you can't beat it Touring Car $655 Roadster $635 IF.

In both cases some kind o'f a eonvepor is necessary to bear the waste from the mill to the fire. This is usual ly a sort of trough with a metal bottom, along which a slowly moving chain or cable, equipped with cleats or buckets, carries tho waste to the fire. A closed burner ond conveyor costs about $12,000 for a mill of a hundred thousand feet daily capacity. Forty per cent of the larger mills, cutting more than 55,000 board feet daily are eqnipped with closed burners. Forty five per cent have fire -pit. The re mainder have neither and dispose of their waste in some other way. It is estimated that for a mill of 100. 000 feet capacity the cost of convey ing the wnste from tho machine where it is made nnd destroying it in a closed burner is 42 cents per rord or $10.05 per day. Burners seldom bring ia any rev enue, although in a few cases ashes are sold for fertilizer, nnd in n number of others the r.urner furnishes hot feed water fur the boilers. M axweli Value on Both burners and fire-pots add to the insurance rates on lumber, and in the case of the pit on the mill itself. In order to reduce the fire hazard to ucro, in the case of tho burners, it is neces sary to keep nil lumber piles at lenst 150 feet away from the burner. The matter is much worse in the case of pits, especially the open ones, which must be kept 300 feet away from the mill and 500 feet away from any lumber piles. When nearer than these distances from the mill and yard respectively, the in surance rates mount up rnpidly with closer proximity until they become prac tically prohibitive when the fire-pit is nearer than 100 foot. No well managed mill would produce wasto if it could be avoided. This, how ever, is not possible, so the next best thing is to seek out some method of utilization of the wnste so it will pay for its disposition. Tho Forest Serv ice is working on this problem, but lias not jet found a satisfactory solution. Camot Levy Execution Against West Virginia Washington, June 12.

LESSONS IN BATTLE CRY OP PEACE (Hoston Cost) For the first time in tnn history of the Hoston M.'ige a moving picture has been employed to set forth a Iniblic lesson as well ns to provide entertain ment. "The Hattle Cry of Peace," is a powerful call to the American nation not to go to war but to be so prepared that iiiteriatiou.il conflict will le averted. It begins with n photopictnrn of n lecturn by Hiram .Mm Mil on tlio lock of military and naval protection in this country and in this scene the story begins.

It was intended to make the presentation during the closing school exercises, but the medals which coma from Chicago, were delayed in transmission making this impossible. The medal is of very handsome design, and will no doubt be highly prized as a keep sake and me mento of school days by its owner. Tho first intimation that she had won tho prizo was received by Miss Mcdil christ this morning when the medal was handed her. It was therefore a ccm pleto surprise, nnd so unexpected that tho young ludy caino near being that almost unknown character, "a speech less girl." pecially the father of his sweetheart, a railway magnate.
