that IN large engines OF the internal
combustion type, when highly devel-
oped, we may attain ef6ciencies of
nearly 40 per cent This means that
Of the heat units potential in the fuel
and liberated when it is burned with
the oxygen Of the air, about one
third may be converted into availa-
bic power. It may even be that flu
ture invention will carry this proper
ton up to about one-ha1f."
Professor Lucke, of Columbia Uni
vers1ty, has made experiments with
alcohol in acknowledgements of the
ordinary 1906 type. He states that
the new fuel gives IS per cent. more
power and 10 per cent. more speed
than gasoline. He did not find any
acetic acid in the cylinders of the mo-
tor after running with alcohol, or any
condensation on the spark plugs from
the water in the alcohol or any
trouble with the ignition
"The professor makes the general
statement that, aside from cost, moth
ing prevents changing to the use of
alcohol, without changing the motor
materially While more power and
speed with a given engine, under the
same conditions, are obtained, the
consumption of alcohol in volume is
from one and one-quarter to two and
one-half times the consumption with
gasoline This means bigger tanks
and more weight on automobiles"
An alcohol exp osion in a motor
boat, the writer notes further W.T.,
hot be so dangerous as one with gas
cline, as the alcohol would mix with
the water instead of floating on it.
In view of the above statement it
will be we'll for the would-be pro-
gressive farmer to investigate and
consider the potentia1ities and posi-
bilities Of the present waste material
Of the farm.
Ethyl alcohol is an hydro-carbon
chemical formula CT H6 o. By this
formula of composition it is readily
seen that the hydrogen predomihates,
the carbon coming next in quantity
and oxygen the smallest. When,
therefore, as stated by Ben Stone,
combustion of alcohol takes place the
carbon combines with the free oxygen
Of the air, resulting in carbonic OK
ide with evolution of heat. The hy-
drogen at the same time combines
with oxygen, likewise producing heat,
and resulting in the production of wa
terry vapor.
In order that the common reader,
who may not even have smattering
of chemistry, may understand more
fully what we are about to explain,
we will state that there are several
vegetable substances almost identi-
teal in their chemical composition
yet diverse to their physical proper
ties. These are woody-fber or lig-
mum, starch, gum, and sugar
We, will first start with wood-pu1p
or cellulose and try to show its re1a-
tionship to starch and sugar.
If wood be reduced to the state of
fine saw-dust, then boiled in water
to separate everything soluble, after
wards dried by gentle heat, and then
heated several times in a bakers oven,
it will become hard and crisp. and

ALCOHOL
The Economical Motor Fuel of the Future for
Agricultural Purposes
By A. T. Gunner, M. D.

1890
from an article in the Literary Di-
gest, to which we append additional
remarks on the utilization of the
waste products of the farm
Both those who ride in automobiles
and those who walk are watching
with interest the tests Of alcohol as
motor fuel-the former, because
they see in it more efficient and less
expensive fuel than gasoline, the lat
ter because its combustion produces
none Of the choking odors hitherto
inseparably associated with the mo-
tor car. In his monthly review of
the automobile situation in The Motor
(New York, February, Ben Stone
states his opinion that under the late
ly adopted Free-alcoho1 Law this is
to be the fuel of the future, at any
rate for low-speed commercial use.
He says:
1--WE have in ethyl alcohol an ideal
fuel-co1or1ess, 1impid, of moderate
boilingpoint, about 50 degrees be-
low that of water, non-freezing,
burning without smoke, mixing
with water in all proportions,
clearly, drying off completely when
spilled, not attacking rubber gas
gets or packing, and non-corros-
i've for metal tanks and holders The
fact that the flame is blush, or So
called non-luminous, means that the
flame is almost devoid of free car
bon particles, with their intense heat
radiating power, fact of consider
able Importance. When gasoline or
heavy oil are burning, the flame, load
ed with free carbon or SCOT, radiates
heat to such a degree that it is not
possible to approach near the con-
hagration, and combustible surround
ings are readily fired by pure radi-
alton of heat.
"The production of alcohol on a
large scale is very simple, and the
raw materials already exist in con-
siderable variety All saccharine or
starchy growths are available. -.
Even in the immediate future, then,
it is evident that alcohol has large
field of usefulness The farmer need
not depend on wood, coal, or oil for
his power His agricultural wastes
will furnish it.
"a very important fact distinguish
ing alcohol production by agriculture
from the production and shipment
out of the land of food products,
meats, ETC., or even wood, is that in
the former the land is not impover-
ished, as the mineral and heterogeneous
matters can be returned to it, while
in the food and wood carried away
the richness of the land is passing
away, too. Alcohol contains only
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, all of
which come from the air itself The
transformation is begun in the car
bonic acid and water of the air reach
ing the growing plant under the in
fuence of sunshine, and completed
in the fermenting vat and the still I'm
der human direction Vigorous plant
growth is a cooling process; solar en-.
ergy is rendered latent or potential
It would even be possible to calcu-
late from the fuel value of any growth

MORE TREES CONDEMNED.
Inspector Piercey Finds Crown Gall
on Large Shipment.

A large shipment of trees from
Chico, Calf, intended for planting
in this county, was destroyed by
County Fruit Inspector j. N. Piercey
at Pateros last week.
The shipment was made to ]. J.
Griggs, who is putting out a big or
chard of peaches and apples near
that town. The trees destroyed were
500 peaches and 500 apples, all
badly affected with crown gall. Mr..
Griggs was we'll pleased to be saved

will be 100000 fruit trees set out
in Okanogan county this year. He
will be kept busy for some time in
specting shipments of trees alone.
Mr.. Piercey desires attention called
to the fact that piece-root gratis are

Leaves Today to Attend Meeting Of
Federation of Washington
Fruit Growers.

E. T. Balch, secretary of the We
natchee Valley Fruit Growers as
sociation, leaves for Tacoma today
to attend a meeting Of the Fedora
tion of Washington Fruit Growers
of which he is member.
The Tacoma Ledger has the fol-
lowing to say about tomorrow's s
meeting.
The directors of the Federation of
Washington Fruit Growers associa-
tions will meet at the Tacoma hotel,
Thursday, April IS, at 10 a. M, for
the purpose of establishing the fruit
industry of the state of Washington
on better basis.
1t is hoped to have good attend

of the state. An invitation is ex-
tended to one or more delegates
from any fruit growers association
in the state of Washington. One of
the objects of the meeting is to Sc
lect a manager to distribute all of
the carload shipments of all the
large shippers of the state, SO that
the individual shipments will not be
constantly conflicting with one an
other.
President w. H. Paulhamus
writes:
The fruit industry in the state of

to remove the pound to some other
locality. AS it is, drunks and other
city prisoners are locked up in the
cooler, and perambulating porkers
turned into the pound next door. The
committee was instructed to secure a
location for the pound such as would
not be menace to the public health,
nor a nuisance to those living near.

Don't Allow Pests to Destroy Fruit.

DOu AilOW ItSlS " DSStTOy TUT.
Did you ever stop to think why
you gathered so few perfect apples
last year? More than likely the fall
ure of your fruit crop was caused
by fungus, or the Goblin moth,
which blighter the blossoms and
young fruit as it was forming. They
were your enemies last year-they
will be this year.
Study up the subject and be pre-
pared to give the pests battle royal
this coming year by spraying trees
and vines at the proper time.
This matter of spraying is no long
er question of policy or of expert
ment. but of stern necessity to farm
ers and fruit growers.
The war against the destructive
army Of pests must be agressive-ex-
terminating ii you would save the
fruit as well AZ the trees and v1nes
which bear it--Frult Grower.

Supreme Court Decision Puts Fruit
Inspectors Out Of job.

OLYMPIA, April 7.-(Special)- -
The supreme court mas declared un-
constitutional and void the legisla-
tive act providing for the appoint
ment of county fruit inspectors, fix
ing their term of Office at two years
and their pay at 81 per day. The
decision throws out of office every
county fruit inspector in the state
and also their deputies.
The case was won by dead man,
Fred Blumberg, the defaulting audi
tor of Skagit county, whose accounts
were discovered to be thousands of
dollars short after his dead body was
found in a Skagit county slough last
winter. Blumberg's shortcoming was
the issuance of illegal warrants, and
singularly enough this case was one
in which he had refused to issue a
warrant believing that he had no au-
thority SO to do. B. V. Egbert, dep
uty county fruit inspector, made a
demand for warrant for his SER
vices for November and December,
1904. and January, 1905, on the GER
tificate Of the county inspector as the
law directs. Blumberg refused to is
sue the warrant because the county
commissioners had not passed upon
the claim. Egbert made application
to the superior court for a writ of
mandate to compel the auditor to
act and the court sustained a general
demurrer.
On appeal the supreme court de-
clares the law in violation of section
5, article 1 of the state constitution,
which provides that all county offices
must be elected. The fruit inspec-
tor is declared a county officer, the
law fixing both his term and COM
pensation. The supreme court also
holds that the commissioners must
pass upon all claims before they can
be lawfully paid.
