Collect Exhibits.
The following letter was received
by County Judge Swope and Com
missioners Fogarty and Thompson.
It is hoped our citizens will assist
in the work:
Portland, Or, May Is.
Dear Sir:-The Oregon Com
mission to the Alaska Yukon Pacific
Exposition is glad to inform you
that the Oregon Building, now
under construction at Seattle, and
will be completed in due time for
the coming Exposition, and will be
the largest and most complete state
building on the grounds.
I'VE propose to make collective
exhibit of the states resources in
this building, and it is of the ut
most importance that we have a
thorough and attractive exhibit
from every comfy.
You can readily see that we must
have your hearty cooperation In this
matter, and that the gathering of an
exibit must commence at once. We
will have to use the crops this year,
as the Exposition open the first of
June, 1909, too early for next year s
crop. Your grasses will soon be ready
for harvest and it is important that
you gather them at the proper time.
If thay are over-ripe they will not
do for exhibition purposes; hence
you see the necessity of acting
promptly. We will visit your county
some time in June or July and will
be glad to assist you in the work,
though it will be necessary for you
to begin collecting your exhibit be-
for we see you.
The expense to your county in
collecting such an exhibit will not
be large. Get live man to take hold
of the work and push it, bear in
mind that it is QUALITY, not
quantity, that is wanted. After you
have gathered your exhibit we will
transport it to Seattle, install and
maintain it without further expense
to your county. We will also place an
attendent in charge and will keep
in close touch with you during the
Fair, so that your county will get
all the benifits possible in the way
of advertising, etc.
The Commission is also having
96-page booklet on the resources
OF Oregon which will be distributed
during the the Exposition. Two pages
of this booklet will be devoted to
each county. We also intend to show
by moveing pictures the farms, orch
ards, stock, timber mountains,
streams, and everything of interest
in each county.
We must have your cooper
alton in the gathering of your ex-
hibit. If we were compelled to buy
these exhibit the state would have to
double its present appropriation, but
with your assistance we hope to car
ry out our present plans without
asking for any further appropriation.
Trusting to received an early
reply saying you are with us in the
work, thanking you in advance for
giving this your prompt attention,
we are,

whole city suffers at certain times in
the year. says Answers The happy
hunting time OF these minute insects
is during the late autumn and early
winter. They are serious nuisance
both in and out of doors. They wing
their way through all the open doors
into the houses and into every room,
making life ,unbearable.
Like most insects, the little green
flies have a great affection for the
flame. On occasion the inhabitants
have found it necessary to put out all
the gas lights-even at a public din

GARDENS A SANITARIUM
FOR NERVOUS PERSONS
French Scientist Discusses the
Curative Properties of
Certain Blossoms

Among the new fancies in horticul-
tire in France is one which is not only
esthetic. but at the same time logical
and scientific, and it is gaining many
disciples, says Town and Country. 1t
is the curative garden. Yiaud-Briand, a
well known writer on such subjects, has
given it's history in a most interesting
paper, accompanied by a number of
photographs
He calls this essay "The Flowers
Which Cure" It seems that several
English physicians have been practicing
one form of the theory. They, find
that nervous persons and persons
slightly afflicted mentally derive great
benefit in summer from sitting from
three to four hours a day under. certain
trees. The apple. the cherry, the acacia
and the ash possess these curative
properties. Others are made to pass the
day from June until the vintage in
pergolas under grapevines. Viaud-
BRAND. in referring to this treatment
gives quite a FLIP TO the careless and
inartistic landscape gardener. He says
that all gardens should be. restful-
They should in a certain sense be san
ftariums; but they are nerve racking,
because the first rule of the painter is
so frequently disregarded. This rule is
one Of complementary colors, as neces-
sary for painting as harmony and chord
building are for musical composition.
Green is the complement of red, orange
Of blue. and violet or purple of yellow.
You can bring yellow and violet to-
gether red and green, blue and orange;
but yellow will create an optical dis
cord when mingled with orange; and
SO will red when combined with violet
or purple. Thus, gardens should be
planted so that there shall be no clash
in hues and tihts. The gardener is the
artist of the soil, and from his palette
of seedlings he can paint picture
with natures colors. Red, yellow and
orange are. stimulating; blue and green
are calming. and violet is depressing.
Here you have the list of remedies.
People who are in state of high
nervous tension should be treated in
a. garden planted with larkspurs, blue
bells, wistaria vines, delphinium and
Hlacs, and there should be masses of
shrubbery.. Others who are tired, ex-
hausted; depressed, should be brought
into gay and cheerful pleasure grounds
filled with brilliant blossoms and laid
out and furnished in a perfection of
artistic taste.

SAWMILL WASTE
FOR WOOD pulp
Government Statistics Show a
Possibility of Utilizing Cast
Off Slabs
Use of Material Thrown Away
Would Relieve Drain on
Forests

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31.-To insure a
pulpwood supply to meet adequately
the future needs of the country seems
one of the most important of the many
forest problems of the United States.
Statistics collected by government ex-
perts, however, show that there are
possibilities in the field of invention Tor
the relief of the drain on the coun-
trys remaining pulpwood forests by de-
vising means of utilizing saWmil
waste.
1t is estimated that there are 100000
cords of slabs destroyed in refuse
burners of the lumber mills of the
country each year. The wood used for
pulp last year amounted TO approx
mately 1900 600 cords, about quarter
of which had to be imported. The mill
waste estimate is based on. recent
canvass of some of the larger mllls
of the country by the United States
forest service, which established the
interesting fact that mills having an
aggregate cut of 5,440 million board
feet had a final waste of 100000 cords
of slabs after the best had been used
for laths. Assuming these mills to be
representative, it is seen that there is
still considerable waste in forest pro-
ducts at the mill even after the earnest
efforts of lumbermen during the last
10 years to bring about closer utllza-
tion of the whole tree.
These figures make it look as II
American inventors, who are perform
ing wonderful feats in other nelds,
should get down to the consideration
of methods to make these waste SLABS
available for the pulp makers. work
along this line would also be likely to
show the way for utilization of thou
sands of tons of sawdust which are
now wasted each year
1t is. true that some utilization is be-
ing made of mill waste at present, but
more modern plants that are even
making any attempts in this line. Then,
as it is, the plants which use the
waste slabs, after laths are made, often
waste the sawdust, and those which
use the sawdust waste the slabs. The
slab residue from the lumber cut of the
country is estimated to amount to
about $4,000, 900 cords, of which about
5000, 900, with an average value of
s140 a cord, is sold for fuel, 100000
burned by the mills for fuel and 4,500,-
600 sent to the refuse burners. This
last figure shows the enormous guam
tity of forest product that is pure
waste.
The iron furnace Stag heaps have
been seized upon by the brick maker,
and the screening dump of the coal
mines has become a valuable source of
raw material for the briquette manu-
facturer. Experts say that 1T may prove
possible to make just as good use of
the waste heaps of the lumber mills if
slabs and sawdust can be converted
into pulp.
