Walter D. Seed Addresses Pythians,

The anniversary celebration held by
Steel City Lodge 1855, knights of Pythias,
was most enjoyable affair. A number
of speeches were made, including an ad-
dress by Walter d. Seed, state treasurer.
Additional charm was lent to the oc-
casion by the presence of the local tenn
pie of the Pythian sisters, who attended
in a body. The Rev. o. p. Bentley made
the opening address and introduced the
speakers. Mr.. Seed made a splendid ad-
dress, which was much appreciated by his
hearers. Miss Nina Randall presided at
the piano. Several musical selections were
rendered, all of which made the affair
most enjoyable and maintained the repu-

Movement Of Aberdeen. Chamber OF
Csmmerte Is Copmeated on BY
the Seattle P.-l. z

Z The Aberdeen chamber of Com
merce Is doing intelligent work to
advance the interests of that city in
securing the establishment of manu-
featuring plants to utilize the pres
ent waste from. the sawmills. says
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. 1t has
already secured the promise of one
large plant and has lines out for
Others.
From an economic standpoint, the
waste of sawmill operations is heavy
at present. Where circular saws are
used instead of band saws, nearly 25
per, cent OF the log goes to sawdust.
The huge slabs which are taken off
in sQuaring up logs have been large
ly wasted in the past, although much
of them are used today. But edgiugs
and other scrap from the mill make
up a volume of particularly valuable
material which is not only wasted,
but is a nuisance which must be got
rid Of. Fires are burning all of the
time at the mills consuming this
waste, every particle OF which has
possibilities of commercial utiliza-
ton. Plants such as Aberdeen is in
viting will be of especial value TO
the state. They will furnish employ
ment 10 labor; they will put out
products which will bring money
into, the community. and they do
away with present economic waste
Of great proportions.
There is no question at all that
large profits can be made from the
proper handling of the waste prod
ucts Of the mills There would be
large returns from the destructive
fdfstillation OF this waste in properly
equipped plants, not very expensive
to construct and to be operated cheap
~. There are dozens of other direc-
tions in which profits can be made
from the waste, and all of them will
Uc III use III llIlic.
Conditions are better aroundn the
mills than they were some years
since, when a Wisconsin millman,
visiting one of Puget Sounds big car
go mills. looked with amazement at
the great slabs which were going to
the furnaces to be destroyed. and re-
marked that he would rather have
the slab pile to run his own mill on
than any OF the logs that he was
then able to buy at home. There is
still room for large economics, and
Aberdeen's enterprising citizens pro
pose to initiate them. TO the profit Of
their community.
