nopr roR cHnAPnR PAPER.

Newspaper and book publishers are continually being encouraged by the announcement of some plan for making white paper out of something that has pot yet been used for the purpose. thus Increasing and cheapening the cost of necessity that is now soaring almost beyond the reach of publishers of small moderate means. The following ex- Tract from a recent editorial in The Worcester (Mass) Telegram will be If interest:
 PuIpmiIIl ,1 with every yer ,5sS sswThiIl 1hnt is is being worked out in Canada. com pany with $1.000,00 capital has been incorporated for operations near Van Df building q plant has begun. The company already has small mill that Is reported to be making pulp TOT paper. and the method is merely to Do applied on a larger scale, to use up some 3,000 tons of sawdust that is made in that vicinity each month. The company is building its plant where there is plenty of water ns,r p9rSer tSs naIn ana The process is somewhat different for making pulp from sawdust, and there is more to do than is required to make paper of spruce selected for the pur- pose. but the work can be done cheap- CT where there Is plenty of water and power. It makes little difference what that suggests the possibility of mak- ing paper out of anything which ..As a fiber or can be made to produce fiber by chemical process. As the fSrge lumber companies are now burping their sawdust at more expense than it is worth for fuel, the making of paper from zit promises an ecosomy that shogld 5s of interest all on0v oyer bns tas laid plans to sell its paper made from the sawdust pulp.

 Any one who has taken even a casual look at one of the large aawmills of the country hardly needs to be told what this means to all pub fishers. At some of these mills the sawdust is produced in immense quan- titles and is practically not only 8 waste but a nuisance as well. Where steam power is used a portion of the dust can be utilized as fuel. but in other cases it must be hauled off or burned--either being a continuous ex- pense and trouble. If it shall be found possible to turn all this refuse into paper, either for printing or wrapping purposes. it will mean something like a raVOIufiOn in tha nrfca of Dauer
 And one feature of this prospective innovation is of special interest to the South, and that is the statement that '1t makes little difference what kind of timber the dust is from" This if all expectations and predictions are realized. means that this almost in- caiculable waste from our yellow pine lumber mills will be turned into some- thing that must be had. and the price of which is growing higher every day. It is true that our once immense pine forests are rapidly disappearing, and the timber becoming scarcer and more difficult to get, but that is all the more reason why this by-product should be put to use. and thus relieve the scarcity of the paper supply.
 We have read 50 many promises of cheap paper from new source that we may be somewhat skeptical as to any thing we may read on the subject. but from the reading ot the article we have
