A Boom I'm tho lumber business

A Boom lm the lumber Bus1ness-
miscellaneous Matters.
The Southern Pacific is bringing up an
extraordinary amount of lumber in these
days from San Pedro. There are thirty
nine lumber schooners now billed for that
port. Some of them have already ar
rived and are unloading, and others are
on the way. The Southern Pacific people
say that the present: t:busiress in lumber
is larger than it has been at any time for
the last eighteen months. It denotes a
boom in the building of small houses.
Several changes are reported in the
Southern Pacific station offices in this
vicinity. @. ]. Jones is transferred from
Pomona to San Bernardino, and R. Jack
man, Of Carpinteria, takes the Pomona
position.
Yesterday morning General Manager
Wade, of the Santa Fe, received tele-
gram from General Superintendent
Sanborn, stating that the work
Of repairing the washouts near
Alpine was nearly completed and
that trains could be run through
today. A circular was forthwith issued
to that effect from the offices in this city.
The washouts extended over mile and
included five bridges. Some very lively
work has been done in making the re.
pairs.
The statement is made on what ap.
pears to be good authority that large
piece of property adjoining the yards Of
the Santa Fe in this city has been ten
dered to that company on condition that
the shops now located at San Bernar-
dino shall be moved to this city. These
shops employ between $50 and 175 men
with an annual pay roll of 1925 900.
They cover four acres of ground.
1t is very well known that the project
of moving the shops has been under act
i've discussion for some time, and was one
of the matters which engaged the atten-
tion of President Marvel during his re-
cent visit. The officials of the road are
not in position to make any definite
statements in the matter, but it is be-
lieved that in the course of the winter
it will be decided one way or the other.
During the month of November the
Southern Pacific Company carried $3.50
passengers into the State and 4,39S out.
This is regarded as rather q dull month.
The passenger department of the
Southern Pacific Company has just is
sued an elegant pamphlet entitled "The
Southern Highway" 1t is profusely H.
lustrated, and every point of interest to
be seen on trip from the Crescent City
to the Golden Gate is portrayed. Passen-
ger Agent White has 1000 copies of
''The Southern Highway" which will
be given free to people who wish to send
copies to eastern friends.
Tomorrow Raymond special excur-
sion of seven cars will arrive in this city.
A Warner excursion of Z cars will arrive
here next Tuesday. Two carloads of
passengers went east in q Warner ex-
cursion yesterday. They are most OF
them people who will visit friends in the
East and return here in the spring.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
has arranged for eecond-class excur-
sions, two trains week, through from
Chicago to San Francisco. They will run
regularly from January to May.

A Brief Review of the Dietary Of the
French Peasantry.
Bread. and plenty of it, is the grand
foundation of his dietary. Potatoes are
admitted as an addition and change,
but not, as in ireland, as the staff of
life. Salad in unlimited quantity and
frequency from the beginning to the
end OF its season; mache, corn salad or
lamb lettuce-a great favorite. al

VALUABLE INVENTION.
A Process for Making Printing Ink from
Spent Cotton Waste.

A Process for Making Printing Ink from
spent Cotton Waste.
The utilization OF waste products,
which has made such great progress
during the last two decades, has ex-
perienced further development in q
department in which we are more es-
pecially interested. We refer to the
process of Mr.. G. I. Bastand, Bermond.
sey. London, by means of which spent
cotton waste is made to yield up all the
oil and greasy matter contained in 1t.
the latter being subsequently converted
into that useful agent of civilization.
printers ink. Cotton waste, as our
readers are aware. is used to clean
machinery of all descriptions. When
spent-that is to say, used up-it is full
of refuse oil and grease. Hitherto, it
has been the practice to boil the spent
cotton waste in solution OF caustic
soda, by which process all the grease
is extracted. to wash it, and mix it with
new waste, when it is again placed
upon the market. The oils and grease
are allowed to run to waste.
MIR. Bastand proceeds in very diff
ferent and at the same time highly re-
munerative manner. He places the
spent cotton waste in a closed cylinder
heated by steam by means OF an interior
coil. He then pumps solution of
bisulphate of carbon into the cylinder
containing the waste upon which the
chemical acts, separating the oil and
grease. In their combined state, the
bisulphate solution and oil are then
run by him into another steam heated
cylinder. Here the bisulphate becomes
vaporized, and passes thence to con-
dc nsers, and is finally run into stone
tank, to be used over and over again.
the loss of bisulphate being almost inn
perceptible. The cotton waste freed
from oil is washed, dried and sold
again.
The far more valuable product OBJ
tanned. the oil. is run from the second
cylinder into tanks, pumped thence
into copper heated by small porta-
BILE furnace, running on wheels, and
freed from all moisture. 1t is then
pumped into second copper. where it
is converted into the varnish from
which printing ink is made. When the
varnish has been brought down to its
proper consistency, the furnace is with
drawn, and the varnish is taken to the
Westinghouse, where it is Incorporated
with the necessary pigments and other
ingredients necessary to produce the
various shades and qualities of print
ing ink. When mixed, the crude ink
is ground in French buhrstone mill,
and. after grinding, delivered into a
machine, in which it is passed between
rollers a number of times, according to
the quality of ink required. To obtain
the lampblack used in the manufacture
of printing ink, a portion of the re-
covered oil is used; and thus what was
formerly wasted is converted into the
medium which enters so largely into
the diffusion of neutrality-suspicious.

THE LEGAL PROFESSION.
To He Successful u Lawyer Must Have
the Gift of Inspiring Confidence.

To He Successful Lawyer Must Have
the Gift of Inspiring Confidence.
was deeply interested in CONVEX
sation that heard to-day between an
old lawyer and a young man who was
bent on studying law. Every young
ster who has the gift of CAB thinks he
would make his fortune as lawyer"
said the aged barrister. "But the
truth is that there is nothing that a
lawyer has less use for, or. that will
bring him less money, than the ability
to make a good speech. Some peo-
pie seem to think that a lawyer
spends all of his time in arguments to
the jury, but the men in Chicago who
are making the most money out of the
profession. seldom or never see a jury.
A man may make piles Of money in
the law business without ever leaving
his Office. The most valuable, and the
only indispensable talent that a law
yer can have is the faculty of inspir-
ing confidence. That gift is one of the
rarest and most inscrutahle talents
that / know OF. Sometimes I think
that the less real merit lawyer has
the more readily he inspires confidence
and gets business. If you have the
knack of inspiring confidence. you can
get all the business you want, and it
is not at all essential that you should
be able to attend to the business,
either. You can hire some splendid
lawyer to do it for you for mere
song But il people do not naturally
take to you and confide in you as
counsellor, you had better jump in the
lake than to undertake to practice
law. Chicago Journal.
