SURVEY SHOWS BIRCH

Report Of Edison Washburn
Expected to Encourage ~
!. Location Of Plant Ill

Edison w ashburn, assistant coun-
kty agent and land clearing specialist
has completed report on the white
birch stands in this section of the
state, requested, by the Minnesota
Lumber Associates, who are content
plating the location of a dimension

The report of Mr.. Washburn fol-
lows: "The following list Of town.
ships shows a minimum estimate of
good birch which gives US sufficient
to justify ,the location of hard
wood mill---we are heartily in favor
Of such project and are positive
that it will be successful business
venture as well as an outlet for
timber products and as such very
materially assist in clearing, our
lands in preparation of a broad and
expanding agricultural program.
E"In this matter we are not think
ing so much of the immediate re-
turns, which are. considerable, but
rather to: the time when the timber
business will be of smaller concern
and farming will be the source of
wealth and occupation Of an in
creasing majority Of people who will
be dependent upon the products of
the farm for the business of the
city. ~. .
4"We further belive that our hard
wood mills will Sc fit in time to
complete the manufacturing process
Of their products right here and
thus save the freight both ways on
such articles as are used in any con-
siderable quantity"
The estimate follows: Turtle Lake,

LARGE PRIZE OFFERED ;.
+ BY CHEMICAL SOCIETY
Scientists Are Pleased With
Reward Offered for Most
Notable Contribution

Washington, Sept. 1S.-(Capital
News Service) -Scientists in gen.
eral and chemists in particular in tn.
national capital, are much pleased
with the recent announcement Of the
Council of the American Chemica.
society that a prize of $4,000 will
be given every year to the Americah
who makes the most notable contri-
button to chemical science.
The award is to be made by COM
mittee Of seven, Of which D. Edgar
F. Smith, president Of the American
Chemical society, is to be chairman.
He is to select four of the commit
tee. The others are to be named by
the Allied Chemical and Dye cor
poration of New York City, which,
through William H. Nichols, offered
the prize. The committee members
are to have no connection with the
corporation.
The gift is to become operative
next year.
1t is pointed out that while no true
disciple Of science is so much actu
ated by hope Of reward as by his in
terest in the search for knowledge,
nevertheless, a material reward fot
scientific work can not help but &C:
as a spur to increased endeavor.
Chemical discoveries, it is noted,
have frequently laid the foundation
for large industries and huge for
tunes. Carborundum, the electric
furnace abrasive, synthetic graphite,
the various celluloid and cellulos'
products, the fertilizer and cemen;
industries, the utilization of thou
sand bi-products, and the extraction
of oils, dyes, and medicines from
coal tar, are all cited as cases in
point.
1t is hoped that the large prize Of
fered will stimulate still further the
chemists of the country in endeavors
to solve the many pressing chemical
problems the answers to which will
raise the standard of living and in
crease wealth.

Big Move Made to Prevent
Threatened Clash Between
British and Kemalists
(By United Press)

Washington, Sept. 18-All ma
tive Americans in Smyrna are safe
though the ID Americans missing
since the fire started in the city are
still unaccounted for, according to
a message received by the naval de-
partment today from A. j. Hepburn
commanding the American Destroy
ers at Smyrna. The British rushed
reinforcements today to resist the
threatened onslaught by Mustapha-
Kemal's troops. All the transports
for the Near East were loaded with
British soldiery to reinforce the lit
tie band Of $4,000 troops and stem
the way of the threatened invasion
of 100000 victory-maddened Turks.
Great Britain by starting all avail
able troops to the Dardanelles thea
ter has made good her declaration
NIT to Turkish occupation of Con-
stantinople or the neutral zone OF
that she will fight rather than sub
the Dardanelles.
1t was belived here that Britain
will attempt to play lone hand il
necessary.
A British transport has been load
ed at Malta with 100000 Gordon
Highlanders and 200 special detail
ed troops accompanied by field
artillery.
A surprise attack Of Kemalists
and Chanaks commanding the en-
trance to the Dardanelles is not al
together expected. Meager forces Of
allied troops have been rushed to the
entrance and were reported to ba
entrenching to resist the hemalist
army. Allied representatives o. here
admitted frankly they were concern
ed over the probable eventualities
if the Turks rushed toward the city
The allied soldiers could make but
feeble resistance against the cnor-
NOUS number Of troops and grave
consequences are. felt. Intelligence
agents report here that the Turks
appeared over-awed by British warn
ings against invasion of the neutral
zone and authorities belive this may
prevent Renal from ordering an
advance. =.
Bouillon is the French authority
on Near East affairs He negotiated
the Franco-Kemalistic treaty. Only
an overt act by Renal will draw
military actions from France, it was
stated officially. France may inter-
vcne on the side of the British If
Renal actually invades the Dard-
anelles neutral zone, but otherwise
action by France is considered re-
mote.
The English request for military
assistance met with cold reception
in France. 1t was pointed out in semi
official circles that when France at
tempted individual action against
Germany, England objected Eng
land by taking it's present action has
only widened the breech in the
British-French Near East Policy.
