battleship Maine. The company has
had experience i'll raising vessels on
the Pacific coast, and representations
have been made to the department as
to its ability to accomplish the task in
Havana harbor- 1t proposes to blow
the mud from under the wreck by
means of streams of water, and then
pass chains under and attach them to
framework connected with system of
steel barrels. These barrels will also
be placed in the wreck and utilized
wherever they can be made available.
The company simply asks tho author
ity to raise the Maine and bring her to

to be paid salvage money through con-
demnation proceedings. 1t is prob

would exhibit her in different large

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Thc Prcsi-
dent after the Cabinet meeting to-day
issued the following Thanksgiving
proclamation:
by the President of tho United States
"A Proclamation: The approaching
November brings to mind the custom
Of our ancestors, hallOwed by time and
rooted i'll our most sacred traditions, of
giving thanks to Almighty God for all
the blessings ho has vouchsafcd to us
during the past year,
Few years in our history have afforded
such cause for thanksgiving as this.
We have been blessed by abundant
harvcsts, our trade and commerce have
been wonderfully increased, our public
credit has been improved and strength
cned, all sections of our common cOun-
try have been brought together and
knitted into closer bands of national
purpose and unity.
The skies have been for Il time dark
encd by the cloud Of war, but us we
were compelled to take up this work in
tho cause of humanity, we arc permit
ted to rejoice that the conflict has been
of brief duration and tho losses we
have had to mourn, though griev0us
and important, have been SO few, con-
sidering the great results accomplished,
as to inspire us with gratitude and
praise to the Lord of Hosts. We may
laud and magnify His Holy Name that
tho cessation of h0stilities came SO
soon as to spare both sides tho count
less sorrows and disasters that attend
prOtractcd war.
| do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens as well Us those ut home, and
those who may be at sea or sojourning
in foreign lands, to set apart and OBJ
servo Thursday, the oath day of No
vcmber, as a day of national thanks
giving, to como together in their sew
cral places of worship, for service Of
praise and thanks to Almighty God for
all tho blessings Of the year; for the
mildness of the seasons and the fruit
fulness of tho soil; for tho continued
prosperity Of the people; for the devo-
tion and valOr of our cOuntrymen; for
the glory of our victory and the hope
OF righteous peace, and to pray that
the Divine guidance which has brought
us heretofore to safety and honor may
be graciously continued in tho years to
come.

Wealth in Sawdust.

Victor L. Emerson, the Baltimore in
ventor, who is now in Ottaway, is said
to have discovered process of car
bombing sawdust and extracting tho
by-products. A long series of expert
ments in one of the largest sawmills of
the Dominion mas just been concluded,
and the Ottawa papers say that they
surpass all expectations, even those of
sanguine inventor. The experiments
are said to hayo proved the fact that
''the 800 tons or moro Of sawdust and
refuse that that these mills have been
throwing away daily for years have
suddenly been discovered to be worth
$50 tOn-in other words, equal in
value to the highest grade of gold
quartz-cnough to make the average
man catch his breath with surprise,
and produce in the cynic SMILE"
Mr.. Emerson went to Canada several
months ago upon invitation Of the
owners of the Edwards sawmills there,
who had learned of his supposed dis
cOvcfy. The sawmill people had been
ordered by the government to discon-
tinuc emptying sawdust into the Otta-
wa river, and they secured delay of
the enforcement of the order to allow
experiments tO be made on large
scale by Mr.. Emerson. In Ottawa tho
result which tho experiments have pro-
duced has been received with tho
greatest interest. The industrial ef-
feet i'll tho lumber region of that part
of Canada is predicted to be one of
dazzling possibilities, and it is said
that in addition to the central plant,
erected at large cost for the expert
ments just concluded, q number of
auxiliary industries are likely to COM
mence operation in Ottawa, including
iron and steel smelling works, white
lead manufactorics, printers ink man.
ufactories, and acetylcne gas or cal
cium carbine works. From the hydro
gen gas given off by the sawdust dur
ing tho carbonizing process it is said
that tho whole city can be furnished
with light and heat st 10 cents thou
