without facilities, without proper
water, with only practice on a
mud filled marsh they could meet
and beat the crack teams of Cor
nell, Columbia, Penn, Syracuse.
So for months those hopeful,
determined young men made the
long trip, toiled and sweated over
the heavy water, and came east

could. Sf
They did not win, but they

water under the eyes of the mas

Fir Slabs Found of Nalue.

Fir slabs, the disposition of which
forms a problem for the sawmills of
the northwest, have been found by
a chemistry student at the University
of Washington to be exceedingly rich
in tanning content. From three cords
of fir slabs he could obtain as much Of
the extract, which is used in tanning
and in the manufacture of inks and
dyes, as from a cord Of western hem
lock bark. The bark costs $11.50 a
cord, whereas three cords of the fir
slab may be bought at anywhere from
three to six dollars, depending on the
location of the mills. Further, the
tannin content of chestnut wood,
which yields 2OOOOO,OOO pounds of ex-
tract annually in the East, is only a
little greater than that of the fir slab.
Chestnut has an average content of
6.62 per cent. while the fir slab runs
from 5.45 to 500 per cent.
