In other words, General Boynton holds that
the people of Ohio empasized their desire
for the reelection of Senator Sherman by

man was before the people ut the polls as
much as If his name had been upon the
ticket. He excoriates one of Ohio's prom

Pulp from Saw-Mill Waste.

The water-power in Fairfield is

facture of pulp and lumber. The
Somerset Fiber Co. built pulp mill
at Fairfield Village in 1881. The
pulp is manufactured by the soda
process, and twelve tons day is the
product. Twenty-Five cords of wood
are used daily, and 125 hands are
employed in summer and 80 in winter
This mill takes the edgings and waste
material of saw mills, great part OF
which would otherwise be burned to
get rid of it, and makes it into a
valuable commodity. A large yard
near the railroad station is used for
storing the material till wanted. BY
a most ingenious system of tramways
at the rear of each of the saw-mills
the sawdust, instead of going into the
river, is conducted to the pulp-mill
and there consumed as fuel.-Wood
