Que stiOn Concerns COnstitutionaIity

Quest Concerns Constitutionality
of State Antitrust Law.
Washington, Oct. 24.-In the su-
preme court of the United States the
hearing of the case of the Western
Union Telegraph Company Va. the

cd with violating by forming pool to
control the price of grain. The alleg.
ed offense was committed in Rush
county and the local court found him
guilty, fixing his punishment at three
months imprisonment and to pay a fine

the state supreme court, and the case
was transferred to the federal court on
a writ of error.

USE FOR FIR SLABS
BY PRODUCT ALMOST AS VALUA.
BILE AS LUMBER.
Furpentine, Tar, Charcoal and Gas
Few of the Ingredients Found
in Old Fir Slabs, and a Ton of
Wood Becomes of Value for
Special Use.

Seattle, Oct. 24-Sawmill and lum-
oermen throughout the state may now,
If they SO desirve, convert their waste
material in the way of fir slabs into
oils that will render the by products of
their mills almost as valuable as the
lumber turned out. Willis E. Young,
one of the directors of the Pacific
American Tar Company, the Belling-
ham concern the formation and objects
of which has aroused so much interest
throughout the East, was in the city
Saturday, and to Post Intelligencer
reporter explained the workings of the
companys big plant.
With fiftyfive tons of fir wood, such
as is thrown away or burned in the
slab pile of every sawmill in the state,
Mr.. Young states that his concern can
turn out 900 gallons of turpentine,
fifty-seven pounds of tar, eight pounds
of tar oil, 5000 bushels of charcoal
and 700 gallons OF pyrohgnious acid,
while with each cord of wood con-
sumed $1,000 cubic feet of illuminat-
ing gas, far more pure than either coal
or water gas, is generated.
The plant of the company represents
an investment of over 500, and
months on months Of experimenting.
Although it has only been in operation
for couple Of months it is already
supplying the drug trade of the state
with fir tar and tar oil, while it is do
ing an immense business in pitch, res
in, turpentine, acetate and charcoal.
OF the latter, which consists of the
residue of the wood after the essential
oils have been extracted through heat
process, Mr.. Young has shipped to this
city thousands of bags within two
months.
The method employed is compare
lively simple one. Fir lumber or slabs
with plenty of rosin in it is placed in
an immense retort, around which a
steady heat is kept up, no heat, how
ever, striking the bottom of the retorts.
AS the oily wood gradually cooks the
oil drips into large cuplike arrange
ment at the bottom of the retorts, it
taking some "a hours to exhaust the
maintained.
The crude oils at the bottom of the
retort are next treated, and all the
different oils separated and refined.
The gas from the retorts is, at the
resent time, carried off and wasted.
When, however, the time looks auspi-
cious the company intends to secuIe
franchise and begin the work of sup.
plying Bellingham with illuminating
gas.
1t is Mr.. Youngs desire to educate
the sawmill men of the state up to the
point where everyone of them will put
in retort for the extraction of the
oils. 1t would not be an expensive op-
GRAFTON M r. Young says, and will re-
suit in securing for the millmen thou
sands of dollars, inasmuch as they
would simply be utilizing their waste
material. The Bellingham company
agrees to purchase from the millmen
the crude oils at prvice varying from
So barrel upwards. 1t would cost
from$ 90 to $205, so to put in a re-
tort, but. as there are three barrels Of
oil to secure from cord of wood, Mr..
Young thinks the scheme practical

Can Sell POOLS in Portland.

Portland, Or, Oct. 24.-The coun-
Gil of this city has overruled the veto
by the mayor of an ordinance passed
some time ago permitting the selling

approval even after it had been passed
by the council by a large majority

be said that no one which did not

universal rule is that all failures are

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l would
like to applaud through the columns of
The National Tribune the sentiment ex-
pressed in that able and interesting letter
from the pen of Comrade J. n. Liscomb,
Los Angeles, Cal, which recently appeared
in your valuable paper. Comrade LiscoTb
strikes the keynote of true comradeship
when he says that Memorial Day should
belong to the G. A. Il. exclusively" and
that instead of gambling. horse-racing,
games. etc. the day should be devoted to
paying a loving tribute to those who have
died that our Government might live, and
those who have suffered that this Nation
should be free. 1t should be a day for
prayers and tears. when a grateful Nation
should lay aside the burdens of the hour,
pluck the choicest flowers, go out among
our honored dead. and find where lies their
sacred dust the shrine of its idolatry. Let
Memorial Day exercises be conducted by
the old soldiers only: there are plenty left
who can speak as well as the average man.
