Par tip in the fastnesses of the southern Rockies, hidden in one of the most inaccessible nooks that remain In this country today, what Is probably the largest existing colony of bear er, has established Itself for a last stand. The bearer seas once one of the moat abundant of our American animals, bat the ease with which he was trapped and the ralue of his fur noon drore Mm far on the road to extinction. Soon only the most stringent of protectlre legislation was able to sate him, but now he seems to be "coming back," and wherever he finds a favorable location be Increases rapidly. There is no better place in the world to study the interesting habits of this little animal than In that little hidden mountain valley'just south of the Colorado Une which the Mexicans have ' christened "Lagunltas" and the Americans call "Heaver Lakes.." The valley nestles against the very backbone of the continental divide, 10,000 feet above sea level, and from every side It Is approachable only y long and toilsome forest travel, except In winter, when It Is not apprcachnblo at all. The hollow in the mountains crest D dotted with irregulai rows and miniature ranges of hills, two and three hundred feet high, that make up a most bewildering topography. In among these hills the beaver have built them a city. The landscape is Ideal for the building of their dams, and by throwing barriers of stick and mud from hillside to hillside they have created a dozen big lakes, some of them half a mile Jong. Along the si lores of these lakes are built the beavers lodges. There are probably a thousand beaver In this community, reigning in undisputed supremacy over their mountain domain. They are shy brutes, but Very early In the morning and Just you can often surthem prise cutting the quaking aspen ou tho bank with their chisel teeth or plastering away industriously at ona of their elaborate dams. at-sun- The Power ef Sincerity.

Hnllauer: "The wood Industries are going to go the pork packers onq better; they are going to srivo everything, including the bark. And It Is to teach the wood Industry Jiow to do this that Mr. llallnUer has been working for six yearn. Engineer braneh of government, the forest of a products laboratory, situated at Madison, Win., Mr. Hnllauer and his associates hope to teuch this country how to save two billions of dollars annually, lie Is confident that It can be done; (bat Is, that the annual cut of wood, now valued at two billions, can be made Info articles of use which at present prices would bring double that amount. It Is a man-sizjob, but the confident engineer points proudly to unbelievably vast economies already effected In the wood trades through the work of the forest products laboratorys chemists. They are In such terms that It would be hard to tabulate the exact savings, hut there ts little doubt that they run over $100,000,000 a year. Few persons outside the wood trades know of the laboratory, the first of Its kind ever to be but which hns been imitated in a number of countries since U began operation. Its annual appropriation Is small for the work It does ; something less than $200,000. The laboratory Is now looked upon to save the paper situation of the country, and It cheerfully tackles tho Job. Only recently announcement was made in Washington that the laboratory had discovered that good grades of paper can be made from a number of far Western woods and that Wisconsin paper mills were already ordering tralnloads of wood chips from the West for paper pulp. The cost" of freight to Wisconsin is more than offset by the cheapness of the chips, and the paper thus made is expected to prove a considerable factor In relieving the paper' famine. A visitor who leaves Mr. llallauer can scarcely believe that there la anything which cannot be made from wood. "How about the cabled atory that the Germuns have discovered a food they can mnke from wood which they are feeding to Russian prisoners!" was the first question asked. n "Almost surely mt true," he said.' "The stomach cannot stand It. It Is possible to convert sawdust Into cattle food, and that was probably the foundation for the story." Hut Germany from her forests is obtaining su$i great results that If, as an English writer recently suggested Unpractically,' Engtnml were to destroy Germanys forests the war would surely end very soon. Artificial cotton ts one of the things which are being supplied from wood. Paper shirts are also being used, but then Japan Is supplying these to the Russian soldiers. Germany has been driven to extremes , of her forests by necessity, but no country with the exception of Germany hns made such a systematic effort at developing forest products as 'the United - n L v $ lowering the cost of production and raised the yield to such a point that the Introduction of this alcohol as a motor fnel seems likely, particularly with gasoline going up as it has been. As Mark Twain said, "What chance has prohibition when a man can take a ripsaw and get drunk on a fence rail or drink the legs off the kitchen table? Western larch has an unusually high percentage of galactan, which It is believed can be converted Into a fermentable sugar for use In making grain alcohol. This same galactan In oxidation yields large quantities of muric acid,' and muric acid can take the place of tartaric acid In the manufacture of baking powder. A number of lumbermen recently visited the laboratory and one of the chemists made baking powder from wbod, and his wife made biscuit with it. Another advance is "the preparation of a fine, sweet sirup from galac-tose, a sugar derived from galactan. So If the people of Montuna, the home of the Western larch, get hard pressed they can make their flapjacks with larch baking powder, bake them over a stove heated with larch alcohol and sweeten them with larch sirup.'

Kraft is much stronger than other papers. It Is brown, like what we usually think of as wrapping paper. Large quantities of It are used for that purpose and it Is particularly suitable for large envelopes. Kraft - is used for book covers, for Imitation leather and for cardboard suitcases. An attempt Is being made to produce a paper twine that will replace the binder twines now made from Imported fibers. This question has become more active be cause of the recent shortage of these other fibers on account of the conditions south of us. A successful paper substitute would provide for the utilization of a large amount of wood waste and at tiie same time build up a home industry Independent of foreign raw materials. The problems put up to the laboratory to solve are many and complex. One man In the frog busl- ness was suffering heavr losses from-th- e death of his tadpoles. He asked the laboratory to find ont If there was anything In the Wood which when washed out poisoned the tadpoles. The government chemists undertook to study the matter. They could not locate the trouble, so It was put up to the section of timber tests. After a few experiments It was found that the resonant croaking of the large frogs produced vibrations In the boards of the tanks. The vibrations were transmitted through the water to the ganglia of the tadpoles (they have no brains), causing a disease somewhat akin to infantile paralysis. The remedy was simple. The man was advised to separate his tadpoles from his large frogs, thus confining the vibrations to the older generations. This was done and the mortality among the tadpoles decreased wonderfully.

The most promising and novel developments In from wood are In the nathe line of ture of chemical utilization. It might be said that the chemists of the forest products laboratory have put the prod to forest products. The lumber Industry draws upon the forests for many times as much material as do all the other Industries,-anof the tree cut for lumonly about ber Is actually put on the market In that shape. Right here is more than enough waste, although not often In the right form or readily available, to supply raw material for all the other industries. The problem now becomes one of adopting means of utilization to suit the conditions. Years ago wood ashes were leached for home to furnish potash. The practice disappeared. It is now being revived as a source of potash to offset the shortage of fertilizer due to the war. In the Red River valley of Texas the Indians used to use Osage orange for dyeing, but that -- wood never gained commercial Within the last year, however, we have succeeded In getting It Into the market as a substitute for fustic, which we Import from Jamaica and Tehuantepec, and more than $1,000,000 worth of these kiyes Is now being made by American d one-thir- d soap-makin- hu-ma- g, recognition-a-a-dyewoo- -- d. manufacturers.
