Twelve Acres.
Probably the largest sawdust pile in
the world is the cne at Cheboygan,
Mich. This IS the product OF one mill
operated by the w. & A. Macarthur
Company. The mill being run by
water power had no way of disposing
OF it's sawdust. The company was not
permitted to dump it, into the river
and for a few years an attempt was
made to burn it. There was SO mucn
smoke that the village passed an
ordinance prohibiting that form of de-
.struction. As a consequence it was
simply hauled out into a vacant field
land during the thirty years Of it's
growth has acquired monstrous pro.
portions. It is a hill 1880 feet long,
BIS feet wide, and ranges from 20 to
30 feet In height.
The hill covers some twelve acres.
