To Make Wood Alcohol
From Waste Products

A committee of commercial club OF
Pullman, with President E.A. Bryan.
of the State College. as chairman, in
cooperation with the college is now
perfectinR the plans for the installa-
tion of deDatured alcohol plant at
Pullman city. This is the culmina-
tion of the experimentation which the
college has been conducting during
the past year. relative to the feasibil
ity of making alcohol from potatoes.
waste fruit. off-grade wheat, and sim
liar products which are now source
of waste to the farmers. The expert
mentation has demonstrated that
eighteen pounds OF starch can be
madeffrom one hundred pounds Of
potatoes. and that this amount OF
starch wilt produce about nine pounds
of wood alcohol, worth about fifty five
cents per gallon. It Is expected that
this plant will be in running order
by the time next seasons potato crop
is harvested.

Death of Ed Buckley
At Fl Paso, Texas

The many friends of Ed Buckley in
this county will be shocked to learn
Of his death at Ell Paso, Texas at
1915 .. M. Monday. February II.
News Of his death came Wednesday in
letters from his brother -in-lav. Ben
Lichtenberg, to Frank Jensen and
Postmaster Kirby. Mr.. Jensen and
Mr. Buckley had been warm personal
friends for many years. About two
months ago, in Seattle. when he be-
lieved himself to be in good health
and was planning to return to work
the following morning at his trade as
q steamboat engineer, Mr.. Buckley
was stricken suddenly with hemor-
rhages of the lungs. He suffered
many such hemmorrhages and was
soon in such q weak condition that
little hope was entertained of his re-
covery. As soon as possible his faith
or. who was for two terms chairman
of the board of county commissioners
of this county. left with him for the
South and stayed with him there un-
til the end. It was Eds wish that he
be buried in the Valley cemetery here
beside his brother Jack, who died q
few years ago, victim also of lung
trouble. When the Islander went to
press it was not known just when the
funeral would take place but it is
thought probable that it will be held
next Monday.
Mr.. Buckley resided in this county
for many years. living with his pa
rents in their fine home at Kanaka
bay. He liked the water and a num-
ber Of years ago began firing on q
steamboat. in course Of time becom-
ing an engineer. He was fine young
man and very popular with all who
knew him. Besides his parents. two
sisters. Mrs. Olough and Mrs. Ben
LichtenberR. both residing in Seattle,
survive him. He was twenty mine
yeras old.

FATAL ACCIDENT
AT PORT STANLEY
OLE HOLM, OF lOPH, Instantly MlD
Struck h tAe Chest BY 4 Big Log Raised
From dle Grosnd BY . Deakey
Engine

A very cad accident occurred near
Port Stanley, Lopez island, last Sat-
urday afternoon. resulting In the in
stant death of Ole Holm. vice-preisdent
Of the Lopez Lumber Company. He
was engaged in 'yarding'' logs be-
longing to the company. the work
being done BY means Of donkey en-
gine and cable. Chas. McNallie op-
Grated the engine and Mr.. Holm
fastened the graphing hooks into
the ends Of the logs and gave the sig
mails to start by waving his hand to
the engineer. The pile of logs be-
tween the engine and the logs that
were being hauled had reached such
height that Mr.. McNallie could not
see Mr.. Holm after he gave the signal
by raising his arm. The cable end OF
thirty foot log struck the pile Of
logs causing the other end to rise
quickly into the air and swing around
swiftly toward Mr.. Holm. He ran
but did not succeed in getting out Of
the way, tho end of the big timber
striking him in the chest as he turned
toward it. killing him instantly.
The accident was witnessed by his
partner. JAS. Meiklejohn. president
of the lumber company. who says that
no blame can be attached To any one.
Mr.. Holm was q native Of Norway,
having been born at Bergen in 1866.
He came to this country in 1888 and
to this county in 1904. He lived for
quite a number Of years in Skagit
county and was married there. his
wife, who was Miss Eva VanFleet
being daughter Of one Of the coun-
ty g best known pioneers. They have
two children. boy of seven and
baby boy about six months old. The
body was taken to Anacortes Sunday
and thence by rail to Sedro- WoolIey
where the funeral took place Monday
afternoon.
Mr.. Holm was one of the most pop
ular men on Lopez island and he had
many friends here also. He was .
man of sterling character. strict in
tegrity and great industry. H,s death
is not only terrible blow to his fam-
lily but great loss also to the COM
munity in which he lived.

Preservation Of Piling
Against Marine Borers

The length Of service Of piles in
wharfs and other marine structures is
greatly shortened by the attack Of
marine borers, or shipworms.s A meth

because the timbers best suited for
piIing are becoming very scarce and
are increasing rapidly in price.
Marine borers are found e. far
north as Maine and Alaska. though
they are more numerous and destruc-
tive in the warmer waters farther
south. Since they require only :
small exposed surface in order to
gain entrance and completely DESTROY

SUMNER SCHOOL
OF BIOLOGY
PLANS FOR THIS SEASONS WORK HERE
Professors Who viii Have Charge of the
Station The Great importance
Of Biological Research

The editor takes the liberty to quote
little from personal letter received
few days ago from Prof. Kincaid, Of
the State University, relative to the
work of the university summer school
OF biology here, planned for this year.
He says: 81 regret very much that
have been compelled to abandon my
visit to Friday Harbor during the
coming summer owing to my proposed
sojourn in Japan in search of the Ori-
entail parasites of the Gypsy moth.
DR.. Prentiss will take my place while
Professor Wylie, of the University of
Iowa, will have charge of the botani-
cal work. Professor Charles 0. Cham
bers. of Pacific University. Oregon.
will also assist in the work. taking
charge of the elementary classes in
both zoology and botany. We are now
sending TO press a pamphlet dealing
Harbor and 1 will see to it that you
get one as soon as they appear.
Professor kincaid would have
been in charge OF the summer school
of biology here this year but for the
important quest which he has been in
duced by the agricultural department
to undertake. It was be who select
ed Friday Harbor as the headquarters
for the university marine biological
Investigations. which were inaugural
ed by himself and Prof. Fry, who
have. since the first year. been alter
nately in charge of the work. The
county owes much to these unassuming
and scholarly gentlemen. who have
been the means Of making this won-
derfully attractive region known to a
large number of cultured ladies and
gentlemen. many of them prominent
in educational work in large institu-
| tious Of learning
Many people seem to be unable to
realize that there is anything OF prac-
tical l.value in zoology or botany. AS
a matter of fact it is impossible to es-
innate the enormous saving to agri-
cultural interests alone which has been
effected by researches in these branch
es of science. Insect and other pests
innumerable have been successfully
combatted by science in all civilized
countries. and this country has led
all others in recent years in the ap-
plication of scientific knowledge to
agricultural development. Under the
ever watchful eyes of scientific inves-
tigators new knowledge of animal and
vegetable life in the heavens above.
the earth beneath and the waters un-
derneath' is being constantly acquired
and practically applied.
Prof. Kincaid is man of rare at
tainments in his chosen field of work.
He is said to be the highest authority
on insect life in Alaska. as he is of the
marine life of Puget Sound. II be is
successful in the quest which be is
about to undertake in gthe "fowery
kingdom''-and he seems quite con-
fident that he will be. he will have
rendered service OF incalculable val
ne to this country.

BUNNY" WATTS HELD
FOR GRAND JURY
Young Man Arrested On
Black Hand" Charge
May Be Bailed.

Bunny" Watts. who was arrested in
his home, near Laurel, Md, July 4, on
charge Of sending Black Hand let
tiers to Edmund Pendleton, Of Mont
pelier Manor. and TO f. L. Petit, Of
Laurel. was yesterday held for the ac-
ton Of the grand jury by United States
Commissioners Rogers in Baltimore.
Watts was held In $500 bail, and his
lawyer, Bruner r. Anderson, says that
he expects to furnish this today.
Watts was not put on the stand yes
terday at the hearing. The postal IN
spectors related the evidence woven
about him.
Pill Box Evidence.
One Of the strongest points in the Gaze
brought by Inspectors Keene and Rob
ertson is in the letter 70 Mr.. Petit,
when in describing the plum tree IA
the swamp behind Mr. Pettits house.
the writer said that n this tree would
be found a pill boz This pill box
was found and kept by Mr. Petit. and
The inspectors say that II cOnteined
pills put up by Laurel druggist for
Watts father.
Edmund Pendleton, the wealthy man
who left Montpelier Manor after he
had been threatened with death If he
did not place $500 under the black bridge
on the Annapolis road over the Pa
tuNent, Is still ar Hot Springs, Va,
with former Secretary Taft.
Discuss "BIack Hand"
The entire countryside about Laurel
IS still IN I state Of excitement. and
the only topic Of conversation IS the
Black Hand" Even the weather, as
a conversation opener. has been reIc-
gated TO the background.
One strong point In Watts defense IS
an alleged admission on the part OF the
postal inspectors that they could not
distinguish the faces Of the man and
boy, who, on a dark night after the
stated hour. crept 70 the plum tree on
Mr. Pettit's place and took away a de-
coy package. containing SIS in Confed-
