ers. who claim to have some s30,000,00
invested in plants. The experience OF
Germany seems to indicate decisively
that there is a great future for the de-
naturized alcohol. The use of this did
not make any headway in Germany un-
til 1901, when the potato crop showed
an overproduction of $4,000, 600 pounds,
and some use had to be found for this
enormous surplus. This developed the
use of the alcohol and the next year the
Government held an Exposition at Ber-
lin devoted to demonstrations of the
fuel. power and lighting qualities of the
denaturized alcohol Among the ap-
paratuses used was 50-horsepower al

THE DRY DOCK DEWEY.
Success Crowns Great Undertaking.

Having journeyed 1910 miles
about half the circumference of the
earth-the dry dock Dewey reached
Olangapo, in the Philippine Islands
July 10, just 1913 days after sailing from
Solomon's Island, Chesapeake Bay, hav-
ing maintained an average speed of 10O
miles day while in motion.
The Dewey will be stationed at Subig
Bay, which will naturally become the
naval base of the United States in Phil
ippine waters. The drydock is capable
OF accommodating the largest warships
IN the Navy, and is of peculiar value to
the fleet. inasmuch as it dispenses with
the long voyage hitherto necessary TO
reach repair station, and places the
squadron centering upon the islands in
an Infinitely stronger position for Of
fense and defense.
Twice the dry dock was in serious
danger. Late in February it struck a
storm off the Canaries, and the hawsers
connecting it with the towing fleet were
broken, allowing the great hulk to go
adrift.
Again. in the Mediterranean, not far
from Malta. early in April. the dock
broke loose and fioundered about for a
short time.
She was accompanied by the Golfers
cesar and BrutuS, the tug Potomac and
the refrigerating ship Glacier. The Po-
tomac left the Dewey at Suez. and the
other three ships made up the docks
escort as far as Singapore, where the
Wampatuck Joined the fleet.
After leaving Solomon's Island. on
Dec. 2S. 1905, the Dewey was first sight
ed off the Bermudas on Jan. 5, 1906.
1t reached Las Palmas, Canary Islands,
on Feb. %, and had to remain there un-
I'll March IS, because of damage done
by the storm, which separated the dock
from its escort.
Sighted off Gibraltar on March 25, the
dock passed Malta on April 4. 1t reached
Port Said on April IS, and was delayed
several days in the SueZ Canal by Winds
which forced it against the sides of the
canal and neceSsitated a halt.
1t sailed from Suez on May 3. and
passed Colombo on June 5. SabanS
was passed June 13, and eight days later
Singapore was reached. The entire fleet

Recent Experiments in the Preservation
of Meat.

In report by the Italian Minister of
Agriculture on the subject of refriger-
ating in Italy, Mancini gives some in
teresting results obtained by the Craveri
process for preserving meat, process
which was much discussed some months
ago, but of which more definite idea
can now be formed, since a series of
experiments has been conducted under
the direction of a number of university
professors.
The Craveri method would seem TO
have solved the problem hitherto un-
solved-of preserving meat in a form
fit to be eaten, by means of chemical
treatment. Excluding for hygienic rea-
sons ordinary antiseptics, and recoghiz-
ing as insufficient for practical purposes
the usual mehod Of salting. Craveri re-
sorts to injections into the veins of
slaughtered animals, from which the
blood has been drained of a solution of

and four Of acetic acid; in other words.
of a solution of a mixture of substances
such as are found normally in our bod
les, and which form part of our nOur-
ishmsnt. The solution Is injected to the
amount of one-tenth of the weight of
the living animal. Prof. Brusaferro, of
Turin, experimental upon two animals,
a sheep and a calf: the two carcasses
were hung in subterranean room for
15 days, at temperature of Is deg. C.
(about 81 deg F.) After this time they
were skinned. dressed, and cut up. The
heart, brains. liver and intestines SEEM
ed somewhat lmacerated. but were nor
NAL in appearance. The fat beneath
the skin was perfectly preserved, the
flesh appearing bright red in color,
moist, and giving out an agreeable,
slightly acid odor. In no part was there
any trace Of putrefaction, even incip-
lent. This meat boiled produced an ex-
cellent broth, resembling in every par
ticular that obtained from fresh meat.
Roasted, it was tender. and even tasted
better than ordinary meat, was digesti-
BILE and nutritious. AS result of these
and other experiments, Prof. Brusa-
ferro declares it as his opinion that the
Craveri method promises great advan-
tages over others. The other professors
engaged in the experiments came to ex-
actly the same conclusions. Submitted
to a meteorological examination, the
meat proved to be free from bacteria
in the long period Of preservation given,
the beginning of dissolution was noticed
in the visceral and muscular tissues,
but without the production of any toxic
principle whatever.

Magazines and Notes.

The Historical Bulletin is a neat little
magazine devoted to genealogy. patriot
ism and historical research, and pub
lished at Washington, d. C. Price 10
cents a copy or 81 a year.
The Craftsman for July has as its
leading feature the now famous article
entitled Building a New City, which
appeared in a former number of the
same magazine. 1t is the one authori-
tative statement of the plan of Daniel
III. Burnham for rebuilding the wrecked
city, and has served as basis for all
accounts of the San Francisco of the
future. When first published 1t was
prophetic, but the great calamity and
the acceptance of the plan for recon-
struction give the article a present vital
interest that can hardly be overestimat-
ed. The illustrations show not only the
entire plan for rebuilding, but maps of
the city as 1t was and as it will be.

land Magazine for July is "A Chronicle

The Geological Survey reports that
the production of coal in Colorado in
1905 exceeded that of any previous year
IN the history of the State. 1t had a
spot value of s10,S10.97S. The larger
production was mainly due to the quiet
er conditions of the labor market. The
production of coal in Iowa has exhibit
ed gradual but uninterrupted increase
for years, and in 1905 the output had a
spot value of SO, 2,361. This was
about four per cent increase over the
production of 1904.

Jonathan Bourne, Jr., candidate be-

nomination of United States Senator in
Congress, for the long term commenc'

a member of the class Of 1877 at Har-
ward University came to Portland May
Is, 1878; was Republican member OF
the Oregon Legislature in the session OF
1885 and the extra session OF 1856; was
one OF Oregon's delegates to the Repub-
lican National Convention OF 1888 and
Oregon's member of the Republican
National Committee from 1888 to 1892,
and a delegate to the Republican Ma.
tionsl Convention OF 1892; and was
elected as Mitchell Republican to the
Oregon Legislature in 1896
Mr.. Bourne has been more prom
inently identified with the development
of the mineral resources of Oregon than
anv other man in the state, having ex-
pended in the last 20 years over 81 ,OoO,-
900 of his own money in the acquisition
and deyelo rment of Oregon mines.
While Mr.. Bourne has had his resi-
dence and main office at Portland SINCE
1878, he has had another office at New
Bedford, Mass, and has carried on the
business of his fathers estate since 1859,
which makes him familiar with many OF
the large interests aud leading men IN
the East. These qualifications, in con-
junction with his energy. originality,
executive ability and experience in
business and political affairs pre-emi-
nently qualify him for making an able
and influential Senator for the State ol

Shears ON Big Scale.

With the iatentlon of looking over
Baker county and possibly setting up
one of his big sheep shearing plants here
during the coming season, N. H. Cottrel
of Boise, Idaho, the owner of the largest
sheep shearlng business in the United
States and in fact IN the world, arrived
in Baker City this morning, says the
Baker City Herald.
Mr.. Cottrel stated that he mas not
sure Whether he will come into Oregon
during the coming season or not. lie
runs four plants of from rs to 30 ma
chimes each in Idaho each year and
shears approximately 100000 sheep.
Although for number OF years Mr.. Cot
trell made his home in Pendleton, he
does not shear in Oregon any more and
Baker county will be the only place in
this state which he will work in case he
does come here.
The number of sheep handled each
year by the employees of Mr.. Cottrel is
enorm US. OF course it depends upon
the man he has operating the machin',
how many sheep will be sheared each
day, but with good operators the Boise
man estimates that at each plant he can
handle from 250O to 5000 sheep daily.
About AZ men are emplo, cd upon each
