Oregon pine needles, or those
long. slender spears that grow in
sugar pine trees in lieu of leaves
have fallen on the ground for count
less ages, to be converted into soil
by the slow process of decomposi-
ton, or into ashes by the quicker
medium of FIRE, without a thought
being given to their commercial
value. This condition is nov to b.
changed, according to D. A. Cvrds,
president cf the Pacific Pine Needle
Company cf Grants Pass. Mr.
Cords says the piue needles of south
ern Oregon are now worth IS a ton
delivered at his factory, and that, as
the enterprise grows, whole families
may engage in picking pine needles
as they pick grapes in California
vineyards.
The uses to which the pine needles
nay be put are many, Mr.. CJrds
SAYS. bat Germany has hitherto had
the monopoly Of the business. The
needles are at first boiled and then
run between horiz )ntal wooden
rollers, where tie juice is extracted
and called "pine needle OIL" which is
supposed to possess medical proper
ties. The pulp becomes a medicated
material for uuh~oistering, and is said
to be a good substitute for horse
hair. No bugs or insects of any
kind will live in furniture that has
been uphoisted with pine needle
wood, Mr.. Cords says.
The Germans make flannel under.
clothing Of the fibre, as we'll as socks
for men and stockings for women,
while knee warmers, knitting and
darning yarns, cork soles, q1ilts,
wadding, deafening paper for walls,
pine needle soap, incense, aud even
cigars made from this material have
been imported from Germany for
years.
Bathing resorts have also been
established by the thrifty Teutons at
points where the pine needles are
crushed, and these resorts have long
been popular with people afflicted
with rheumatism, consumption, &.

At present the factory uses only

enterprise is still in its infancy.

ne can use several tons, with an up.
ward tendency as the market for
pine needle products expands.
Another poiut in Oregon where a
pine needle plant may be established
in the near future is Hood river. Mr..
Cords says, as the location aff)rds an
unlimited supply If needles, while
better rates for transportation can be
obtained on account of Hood rivers
nearness to Portland. O egon, be
says, has a monopoly on the needles.
