WEST IS BOOMING
B. Heyman Back From a Vacation
 on the Coast.

B. Heyman returned home Monday morning from an extended visit on the coast, looking and feeling well and en- unused not only with Arizona but with all the coast cities. He left here June ] 2Oth, spent d few days in Los Angeles, 1 ten days in San Francisco, two days in Portland and about five weeks in Se- attle and Tacoma His family is now in San Francisco and will not return fer a few weeks yet. san Francisco, said 1 Mir. Heyman, is enjoying a prosperity heretofore unequaled, and it is more noticeable in the matter of building | than in any other line. Permits have | been issued this year for the erection of buildings totaling a value of $45, ,OO0, 900 and among them are from 2,500 10 5000 flats. While there he visited, in com pany with E. B. Gage. the new depart ment store of Henry Goldwater, which opened it's doors Monday. It is in size the second largest store in the city and is called The Prager" It is elegantly appointed and should prove a money maker.
 Portland. he says, is a beautiful city. but a slower one, and Seattle is leading it rapidly in a commercial way. Seattle
 
 that Of San Francisco, in fact. a larger one proportionately. When the census was taken the population was SO.0O0. and now it is estimated at 115,OO0 It has enjoyed a continuous prosperity since the Klondike rush and is now better than at any previous time. A few weeks ago when an estimate was made of the present building operations in the cities of the country, in compari- son with operations of a year ago, it was shown that Seattle was building more rapidly than any city in the Unit cd States, the percentage of increase over last year being 265 The navy yard opposite the city is busy in the repairing of the Oregon. Philadelphia and other battleships.
 As an illustration of the public en- terprise of the city he mentions the building of the Nebraska in Seattle at the shipyard of Moran & Co. When the work was awarded to them they found that the expense of building the ship would exceed their bid by $100, eco and were about to give up the contract. when the citizens came forward with bonus of that amount and told them to go ahead. They realized what it meant to have big things going on there.
 But it is as a Seaport that Seattle shines. her harbor being better than that of San Francisco and the Puget sound country being considered the second or third largest foreign ship ping point in the country.

 Reed responded in manner that was more of a shake to the man than for his hand and went on with his talk When our friend over there had edged out of the crowd some one said: Nou didn't seem to be happy over him, Reed. Who is your friend, anyway?

her going back to melancholia; that

Never, Rigby; the gods are against

terials which Americans have not yet
succeeded in converting into satisfac-
tory briquettes. There are experienced
engineers and a dozen manufacturers
Of briquette-making machinery who
would gladly cooperate in these tests
and would furnish machinery adapted
to working the material thus techni-
caIly defined. Upon a, basis Of such
tests, plans and estimates could be OBJ
tanned for the erection Of plants In the
United States with specified daily ca
pacity.
The Stauber process for drying most
substances was first brought into prom
lnent notice In connection with peat
coal manufacture in 1901. when the i'm
perial testing station at CharlottenburS
announced as the result Of experiments
made with peat briquettes made by the
Stauber system that they contained
45.1 per cent Of fixed carbon, 4.oI per
cent hydrogen, 29.34 per cent oxygen
and 900 per cent ash and had Their
NAL value of 3,SO6 calories. The Stau-
Der system as thus applied includes
process for rapidly drying the moist
peat by means of heated and compress
ed air within a closed chamber or chan
mel, communicating with conduit pipes
In such manner that heated air can
be forced through the drying channel
and cold air through the outlet pipe, the
effect being that the cold air quickly
absorbs the hot, saturated air out or
the drying chamber and condenses 1t In
the conduit pipes. thus greatly stlmu-
Iating the process Of evaporation by
which the peat Is dried. Peat in Its
raw state contains from 70 to 80 per
cent Of water and in the humid climate
of northern Europe is usually very
difficult material to dry. 1t Is claimed
for the Stauber method that it reduces
the moisture to 10 or 20 per cent quick
ly. effectively and, what is important,
without changing the chemical compO-
sition Of the peat or In any way add
ing to II. The drying machine is in
the boiler form (cylindricaD and Of
size to conveniently produce five tons
Of dried peat per day.
"a second process is that invented by
f. Schulke Of Bach strasse. Hamburg,
the salient feature Of which is that the
turf or peat used Is cleaned of roots,
stones. etc.. then liqulfied by water and
pumped through pipe several miles to
the works, where, as claimed by the
inventor. 1t is leached and converted
by heat and pressure into briquettes ut
net cost of 50 per ton. or into arti-
fetal coal having a thermal value of
$3.50 calories at a cost Of $3.50 per
ton. 1t is understood that large plant
Is in process of erection on the northern
coast Of Germany for the utilization OF
this method, but as to the actual con-
dition Of the enterprise or the prac-
teal value of the process on an indus
trial scale. no exact information is at
hand.

Germany Uses Briquettes, Which Give
Perfect Satisfaction.
Frank II. Mason, consul general to
Berlin, sends In report concerning the
use Of briquettes, made from brown
coal, carbonized peat, coal dust and so
forth, used as domestic and steam fuel
In Berlin and other German cities, and
the wholesome effect of such fuel, to-
gether with coke and fuel gas, In pre-
serving towns and cities from the
smoke nuisance and at the same time
affording fuel cheaper than the hard
coal.
Mr.. Mason says there are in opera
ton in Germany eighty-nine manufac-
tories of fuel briquettes and he goes

IF Americans are really interested. in
the subject there Is no need that they
should risk any large sums Of money

compare their crude materials with
those found and used here, and they
can thus start at the point Of technical
knowledge which Europeans have
reached after many years Of expert
ence. When, some ten years ago, the
attention OF American ron-makers was
called to the German system Of making
blast furnace coke in retort ovens,
which saves the valuable volatile ele-
ments Of the coal, 1t was thought worth
while by certain Of them to bring over
two carloads Of Connellsville coal to be
cooked as a test by the German process.
The complete success Of that expert
ment decided the Introduction Of the
standard German type Of coking oven
into the United States.
