SUGAR FROM DOUGLAS FIR
CFrom the New York PosD

(From the New York PosD
Although maple sugar is the only form of
tree produced sugar that is known to
most persons, there are several other slr-
cies of trees that produce, or more exact
ly, eXudc edible sugars. Among them, ac-
cordng to Western Canadian botanists is
the Douglas fir. In fact, the Douglas fir

lied instead of merely yielding sweet
sap The sugar of the fir trees on the dry
hillsides of British Columbia has been
known to the Indians of the region since
before the advent of the white man but
the latter has evidently passed it by un-
til now. Little white globules of sugar
from IA quarter of an inch to two inches
in diameter, appear on some OF the Doug
las frs. the smaller masses form like
white drops at the tips of the leaves and
at times several of the leaf tips are caught
together in II larger drop. This sugar
when handled is not sticky but rather
hard and dry. Not all Douglas frs are
sugar bearers; only those that stand on
comparatively open and sun-exposed
spaces. They are most numerous between
the 50th and 5ist parallels of latitude and

FIRE IN PENTHOUSE
One Owned by George ID. Jarvis De~
strOyea-Hard Fire TO Fight

The entire FIRE department was called
out Sunday afternoon by general
alarm from box &c on the lake front.
The firemen found that a boathousc be-
longing to George n. Jarvis had caught
fire in some unaccountable manner, and
had obtained such a start that it vas
impossible TO save il. All the efforts
of the tremen were directed toward saw.
ing the Perkins boathouse next 10 il.
This house was saved from destruction.
although one end was badly scorched.
The location Of the lighthouses made an
especially mean situation for the fircmen
to face. They were built on the exteura
end OF the stone breakwater which en-
closes the slip Of the J. r. Booth Lumber
company. 1t took 400 feet of hose tn
reach the fire, and this had to he
stretched, down through the lumber yard
and out across the stone causeway con-
meeting the mainland with the two boat
houses, Under the circumstances only ons
line of hose could be laid, but this proved
sufficient TO prevent the flames from
reaching the Perkins structure.

UNCERTAINTY ABOUT COAL
Plenty a n INT NJ Cnrs--Buriin Etoa
Fairly Well Supplied

Ned II. Pierce arrived in this city yes
tertiay after spending several days In the
coal fields Of Pennsylvania, where he went
to look over the situation az regards the
winter supply. The fault with the entire
situation rests with the railroads, accord
ing TO his information. The car shortage
and inability TO take care OF he products
have already caused several mines to close
down. There is plenty of coal and no
difficulty In getting it out. II there WAS
only some means of getting the coal to
the customers.
Mr.. Pierce said that ne could get little
encouragement from the mine operators.
They said that they could predict moth
ing for the reason that they did not
know what would be done along the
transportation line, but most of them were
pessimistic and predicted difficult
winter.
So far as Burlington goes. the situation
is more favorable than in many localities.
The big consumers in this city have
bought their coal earlier than ever be-
fore and. although there is only d small
amount in the pockets of the dealers
| 50 many customers have been taken care
| of that the drain is not expected TO be
as heavy next fall and winter as usual
People have come to the conclusion that
! the time to buy coal is when they car
get it.
One feature, which makes for higher
prices. is the speculative element. Many
| dealers go down to the mines and are
! frightened to death over the situation
| They get in and bid against each other
with the result that some of the Goa
sells at a fabulous figure. The small
Independent operator are the worst If
the respect of holding out for extremely
high prices. 1t is said of the big opera.
tors that they do not go in for the hold
up game, the way the smaller people do.
| Soft coal has been selling at ST. at tn,
| mines and the prices of hard coal have
| gone tn $l3 and more at times. Some o.
| the buyers run about there and do no
seem to care what sort Of price is paid
| The situation has grown so grave tina
many of the big cities are already CLOSING
