JAMES c. GRAY
LAID TO REST

Born in Salem, N. Y, Feb. 4, 1880;
departed from this earth Friday morn
ing, July 16, at two o'clock.
The funeral was held at his resi-
dence, Saturday afternoon, Rev. Phil
ip Kelser, officiating. Mr.. A. l. Root
also gave a touching tribute to his
memory, dwelling particularly on Mr..
Gray's connection with the A, |. Root
Company.
The Gray family moved to Ohio
when the subject of this sketch was
about year old, and settled on a
farm about mile east of Seville.
Learned the carpenter trade, attended
Oberlin College, and taught in the Fol-
som Business College, Cleveland.
While teaching at Mogadore he met
Eliza J. Root and on January 10, 1854,
they were married-61 years ago.
He moved to Pentwater, Michigan,
in 1866, engaged in banking and mer-
camille business, and held various pub
lie offices. In 1887 he moved to Me-
dina, planned and erected the build
ings of the A. /. Root Company, and
! was superintendent of the plant for
many years. He engaged in the mer-
cantile business in Medina for about
fourteen years, retiring from business
in 1906.
Mr.. Gray has always been interested
in pubic affairs, and the good works
of the Medina Board of Trade and the
good road movement in Medina coun-
ty is largely due to his efforts.
Four children were born to him:
Mrs. Cora E. Newark, of Cadillac,
! Mich; George M. Gray of Fostoria,
Ohio; and Grace L., who died in in
fancy; Mrs. Mildred IT. ST. Hastings,
1 of Akron, Ohio. Eleven grandchil-
also survive him. sc. as Il
In a forthcoming issue of Gleanings,
published by the A. l. Root Co., Mr.. A.
|. Root, brother-in-law of the de-
ceased, will write lengthy reminis-
cense of the departed one. The latter
was for many years foreman of the
manufacturing establishment of the A.
/. Root Co., and as a relative by mar
riage for more than three score years,
Mr.. Root is prominently fitted to
write concerning the life of the de-
ceased.
Among the many other things that
will appear in Gleanings from the pen
of Mr.. Root concerning he who is
gone, will be of the early days when
Mr.. Gray followed the profession of an
instructor in penmanship and orna-
mental drawing at Mogadore, Summit
county. Says Mr.. Root, "His won
derful penmanship created stir in
the little town and his ornamental
drawings were a wonder" q.
Mr.. Gray superintended the con-
struction of one of the first brick
structures of the Root Company and
planned building after building as the
years passed and the business in
creased. Until recently he had been
actively associated with the Root COM
pany for many years, only retiring
when his advanced years made the re-
llinquishment of so much responsible
ity imperative.
Mr.. Gray united with the Congre-
Igational church when boy and was
still a member at the time of his
death. g.
Funeral services were held at the
home Saturday, Rev. Phillip Kelser Of
ficiating. Mr.. A., /. Root also gave a
brief eulogy of the deceased. Burial
was made in Spring Grove cemetery.

labor agitation which resulted in the destruction of life and
property in the Butte district. The Anaconda companys
statement follows:
This company has refused employment to certain
men, and will undoubtedly refuse employment to certain
other men, should they make application. The plain pur-
pose of the company is to give preference at all times to
p~eaceable, law-abiding, permanent residents OF Butte. Com
mon humanity prompts the employment OF men with fami-
lies and men with dependents, so far as may be practicable.
No fair minded person, however, can reasonably expect
this company to make places in its mines for men who prec1-
pitated a condition of practical anarchy last summer; tor
men who have, during the present winter, insidiousiv
counseled personal violence and sabotage, or for men who
make it their whole business to disrupt the long-established
friendly relations between employing companies and the
various labor organizations of this community. Statements
have been and are being made that applicants for employ
ment are questioned as to their affiliations with labor un-
ions. These statements are wholly untrue. No change
whatever has been or will be made in the form of the appli~
cation blank used"
In commenting upon this attitude the Mining World
says: Before the vicious socialist and the idle 'laborer
was tolerated in Butte the city was the most peaceful, order
tween the mining companies and the labor organizations
there was never a difference that was worth mentioning
Socialists, or rather men who pretended to be socialists but
were merely anarchists in disguise, saw their opportunity to
corrupt civic administrations and, upon the theory that
any change was welcome, many protesting and good-in-
tentioned citizens voted for the socialists and elected them
to office in the city of Butte. The socialists intrenched
themselves and, believing that their advocacy Of sabotage
and hostility to all employing companies gave them more
strength, they became more bold and vicious and openly
advocated the destruction of corporation property. The
mining companies took no action and allowed matters to
drift until it was too late and anarchy and the mob ruled
Butte. 1t required the militia to restore order, and then the
decent element awakened and asserted its power in Butte
Their work of restoration is determined and so far orderly
but the experience has been a tremendously costly thing tc
the city and the mining corporations. 1t is estimated that
it cost the Anaconda company fully ST. 100000 to protect its
property against the mob, and the expense is still going on

The Alaskan Railroads

San Frencisco Chronicles: 1t is announced that as soon
as congress is prepared to vote the necessary money, ar
rangements will be made for beginning work on the long
DELAYED and much-needed system OF Alaskan railroads.
The engineering commission appointed to pass on the
routes surveyed has completed its report, and will present
the same to Secretary Lane in the course OF a few days.
The time has passed for discussing the question as to
whether it would be better to permit private enterprise to
construct a series of Alaskan railroads in strict accordance
with business principles or to have the government build
the lines and select such routes as were most tavOrably rep
resented to congressman and officials in Washington
Alaska's crying need is improved transportation facilities,
and the territory is hopeful that the government-owned
railroads will be built where they are most needed.
Recent events have tended to inspire greater conf
dence in the good intentions OF Washington in this regard.
After long, wearisome and unnecessary delays, the navy de-
partnlent has arrived at a truth, long since evident to all
who had given the subject competent consideration, name
", that Alaskan coal is Of frst-class quality and exists IN
such quantities as to furnish all the naval, commercial and
industrial needs of the Pacific coast. Having acknowledged
the excellence of Alaskan coal, the politicians could scarce
Nv deny the territory the facilities tor bringing it to market.
But there are many other purposes to be served by AIDE
ouate railroads, and, altogether, Alaska has reason to re
ioice over the fact that the government is becoming alive TO
its far northern responsibilities.

Use of Wood as Fuel

Roughly, a pound of coal has the heating power o. two
pounds of wood. although the heavier the wood, generally
speaking, the greater its fuel value just as anthracite coal
is more valuable than bituminous, and the harder and
heavier the bituminous coal the greater its value, says a
forest service bulletin.
Notwithstanding coal has a higher fuel value, and the
fact that in parts of Wyoming and Utah rich deposits OF
|bituminous coal occur, it is probable that II a halt dozen
the larger cities of the intermountain region were ex,
cepted, more wood than coal is used as fuel. This is largely
,e to the lack of transportation facilities and the more con-
venient accessibility of the wood in nearby canyons, usually
within the national forests. The equivalent of the three and
half million feet of firewood was given to settlers last year
from the Targhee forest in eastern Idaho.
In southern Utah cedar from dead trees is the popular
fuel for cooking, since it makes a very hot fire for a short
time and burns out quickly, so is especially suited for sum
mer kitchens. Cut green and seasoned, it keeps a more
steady fire for heating. 1t is not as suitable as pinyon for
fire places, however, on account Of the danger from sparks.
Pinyon is brittle and can usually be broken more readily
than chopped. Throughout central Utah large quantities
of aspen are used, preferably cut green and seasoned,
though often secured from dead trees from necessity or for
immediate use.
In central Nevada as in southern Utah, pinyon and
cedar are>the woods most used for fuel. Sagebrush is sub
stituted because of scarcity of these in the region of Para
disc valley and the mining camp of Tuscarora. 1t is a sur
prise to many to learn that fuel can be obtained in regular
crops, at intervals of a few years by taking the main stalk of
a bunch of sagebrush. Settlers usually obtain their supply
for several years in clearing their land. Although there is
much litter, ~sagebrush burns so readily there is scarcely any
fuel that will cause intense heat so quickly, or with which a
meal can be cooked with so little weight of wood. Further
more, a man who has tried both asserts that no greater la
Dor is required in preparing sagebrush for a given amount OF
cooking than cutting oak or other larger timber in the
east, hauling it home and preparing it for the range.

The Little known Minerals

Much mineral wealth is lying idle and neglected in the
United States because it exists in the form of little known
minerals for which but few industrial uses have been dis
covered, says Mining World. Other minerals have but lit
tie present commercial value for the reason that satisfact-
DRY methods have not been evolved for extracting their
valuable constituents on a profitable commercial scale.
L hese deficiencies are responsible for great economic losses.
A great deal is being done to unlock these vast re-
sources. 1t is a f1e'd OF research in which progress must be
SLOW, at least under present conditions. Chemical and
metallurglcal research is often costly and only companies
and institutions of ample financial resources can engage in
1T. Few private individuals can afford to equip a suitable
laboratory. Here is a situation that must be remedied. It
is important for the industries of the country that ample
supplies of raw materials be provided to supply the demands
and it is just as important that demands be created and
ials. Scientists, working in the interests of pure science
for the love of exploring the unknown have discovered
elements whose properties made them at the time of scien-
tific interest only, but for which further research and ex-
Pronunciation developed practical uses. Probably the most
striking example of this in the discovery of the element
radium.
Painstaking researches in the fields of chemistry.
physics, electricity and metallurgy have resulted in the ere
alton OF demands for many substances now in common use.
but which until comparatively recently had little CONNER
cial value. Researches in the field Of illumination have Gre
ated a large demand for rare earths containing thoria and
other oxides now widely used in making mantles for mean
descent gas lamps, also in certain electric lamps. The in
candescent electric lamp using a tungsten filament has been
the cause for a great advance in electric illumination. An
important use has been discovered for the rare metal cerium
in the production of p%yrophoric alloys-alloys which give
off sparks when scratched with a file, and now used in the
manufacture of gas lighters. Numerous other instances
might be cited, but these serve to illustrate our point.
