London, April 13.-The Madrid CORE

at 1880 Tuesday evening says: ''The mes
sage has produced a very deep and bitter

Wool From Pine Trees

From the San Francisco Examiner
Most men would as soon think of gather
ing hgs off thistles as wool off pine trees.
yet that is just what the promoters of n
new Oregon industry propose to do. Mr..
and Mrs d. A. Cords are establishing a
plant at Grants Pass for the manufacture
OF pine needles into fabric very like wool
en- cloth. There is nothing new in this in
dustry. 1t has been carried on in Europe
for years, but never before has it occurred
TO any one that in the forests of Oregon is
better material and more of it for the man.
ufacture of pine wool than any place else
in the world.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cords are enthusiasts, but
are predetermined withal, and do not
purpose to start in on too large a scale
They intend first to make material Of the
consistency of excelsior for mattresses: af-
ter that they will manufacture the wool
which is used for underclothing, bandages
and other purposes where soft and rliable
fabric is required Only the inner fabric Of
the needles can be used for the latter and
the process is expensive. but not more so
than that of the manufacture of lambs
wool
Mrs. Cords is familiar with the process of
manufacturing fabrics from pine needles in
Germany and France, and in a visit to Ore
gon something more than year ago it oc-
CURED to her that the pine trees here were
better suited to the purposes Of manufac-
ture than those of the continent A little in
vesttgation convinced her that II would be
worth while to try the experiment and
with the assistance of her husband. she
started a small factory at Grants Pass
Machinery Of the proper kind was not to be
mad, and 1T was necessary to send to Eu-
rope for II.

NE MACE TO LIVES
Street Car Tracks Laid Too Close to
School Buildings.
ACTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Question Raised With Respect to
an Appointment.
CHANGES IN THE SCHOOLS

Preliminary steps We're taken by the
board of trustees of public schools at its
regular meeting at the Franklin building
last evening to secure the removal of street
car tracks from in front Of the Peabody
School building, on Capitol Hill, and from
other streets near school buildings where
the passage of the cars is menace to the
lives of the children. The subject was
brought to the attention of the board by
Mr.. Wheipiey, who referred briefly but feel
ingly to the Bryant child, who died recently
from injuries received by being run down
by a horse car while playing in the street
in front of the Peabody School house. He
said he had talked with Mr.. Crosby the
president of the company, in regard to
the matter, with q view to the prevention
of such lamentable occurrences in the fu-
ture. Mr.. Crosby informed him that the
railroad company, which was about to sub
stitute the underground electric system fer
the present system of horse power. was
perfectly willing to remove the tracks from
the south side of Stanton Square, in front
of the Peabody building, to the street on
the north side of the square but that the
company was prohibited from so doing by
the act of Congress granting its charter
Which specified that the line must use the
street on The south side of the square
Mr.. Whelpiey said the Introduction of the
new system Of propulsion would make the
street in front of the Peabody building more
dangerous to the school children because Of
the more rapid movement of the cars He
thought the matter deserved thorough con-
Slderatlon and prompt action, looking to the
better protection of the children. InaSmuch
as 1t required the action OF Congress to re-
move the tracks to the other side of the
square, where their presence would be much
less ob1ectionable, he suggested that steps
he tai.en at once to bring about that re-
suit. IN order however, to make the mat
Ter more general in its scope. he made a
motion that the committee on buildings and
grounds be instructed to consider the ques-
non OF car tracks in front of or near school
buildings and report a plan for their re!noV-
al where deemed essential to the safety of
the children, in order that the matter can
be properly presented to Congress for rem
cdial legislation.
Mr.. Wilson said there was a general de-
sire TO nave the street cars nearer the West
ein High School than at present, but he sup
posed il could not be done lust now. He
indorsed Mr. Whelpleys remarks in gen
erai, and the motion was adopted unani-
mousy.
