Cloth From Pine Needles.

Most men would as soon think of
gathering figs off of thistles as wool
off OF pine trees yet that is just what
the promoters OF new Oregon in
dustry propose to do. Mr.. and Mrs.
ID. A. Cords are establishing a plant
at Grants Pass for the man ufacture
OF pine needles into fabric very
much like wooden cloth. There is
nothing new in this industry, it has
been carried on in Europe for years,
but never before has it occurred to
anyone thatsin the forests of Oregon
is better material and more Of it for
the manufacture of fine wool than in
any place else in the world.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cords are enthusiasts
but do not propose to start IN on too
large scale!2 They intend at first to
make material of the consistency Of
excelsior for mattresses. After that
they will man ufacture the wool which
is used TOR tinderclothing, bandages
and other PURPOSES, where soft and
pGable article Is needed. Only the
inner fabric Of the needles can be
used for the latter, and the process is
expensive, but not more 80 than the
manufacture of lambs wool.
Mrs. Cords is familiar with tho pro-
cess Of manufacturing fabrics from
pine needles in Ger many and France
and on visit to Oregon something
over year ago, it occurred to her
that the pine trees there were better
suited to the manufacture of wool
than those Of the continent. A little
investigation convinced her that it
would be worth while to try the ex-
pertinent, and with the assistance Of
her husband she started small fac.
tory ut Grants Pass. Machinery Of
the proper kind was not to be had
and it was necessary to send to Eu.
rope for it.--Boston Journal of Com.
