For several years past the Abitibi Power Paper Co. research department has been engaged in effort to find conomic uses for certain waste parts of the material used in pulpâ€"making. At one of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade meetings Mr. John Vanier brought up the question of utiâ€" lizing waste material in the pulp and paper and lumber industry and showed how important it was that means and methods be sought to utilize the waste wherever possible, both in the interests of conservation and of industry generâ€" ally. Anything along the line of utiâ€" lizing waste material should be valued very much in this North Land, suggestâ€" ing, as it does, new industries as well as the strengthening of established busiâ€" nesses. Accordingly there should be special attention to a newlyâ€"invented method of making a sort of wood conâ€" crete from waste lumber of all sorts, thereby saving for useful purposes a large quantity of material usually destroyed. F. W. Fitzpatrick, of Evanâ€" ston, Illinois, in a letter recently to The New York Times says:â€" "Four billion feet of lumber annually go into the making of boxes and crates 15 per cent. of all the lumber cut, or enough to build houses for 1,500,000 people. Furthermore, once used as boxes and crates that lumber generâ€" ally becomes waste, and is finally burnâ€" ed. Pretty ‘bad medicine‘ that, and gives a fair idea of our wasteful methâ€" ods in many lines. "But that is not the half of it. For it represents only 15 per cent. of the total production of lumber going to utter waste after one using. But note further that in getting all the lumber of which that one item is but 15 per cent., twice as much timber is wasted as finds itself ultimately in the market as lumber. Or, in other words, only 33 1â€"3 per cent of the timber eliminated from further growth actually becomes finished, marketable lumber for boxes, buildings, and everything else. "But there is a better time coming, at least a more intelligent one. A fibre machine has been devised,‘ and is now being made for general distriâ€" bution, that uses up old boards, cutâ€" tings, bark, chips, twigsâ€"every part of a tree that is not cut into finished boardsâ€"and every bit of that finished lumber that has become "waste," and turns it all into fine, clean fibre. Newly â€" Invented Material Utilizes Waste. More Fireâ€"proof Than Cement and Lighter. Can be Worked Like Lumber. "They used to break up and pound and tear such lumber into shreds and boil and ‘chemical‘ it into pulp, or comâ€" press it into wall boards and insulation material. But this machine cuts the cost in two. More than that, fibre from lumber waste can now be turned into a more valuable material than the finished lumber. Mixed with ceâ€" ment and water by a special process that wood fibre becomes a very strong concrete, fireproof, less than half the weight of stone concrete, and not half its cost, and with that much cheaper to transport. USING LUMBER WASTE FOR FIREâ€"PROOF FIBRE BOARD "Used in buildings it means that the steel wofk has but half the oldâ€"time load to carry. And, last but not least, that concrete can be nailed and sawed like timber. "In connection with it an interlockâ€" ing channel construction has been deâ€" vised:; large channselsâ€"as long as the stories of the building are high and two feet wide, sections that wo men can easily handleâ€"are set on end, interâ€" locking their flanges and presenting a perfectly smooth surface outside and in, an ideal wall, fireproof, selfâ€"finished in that no stone, brick or other wall covering is needed outside, and no plasâ€" ter need be used anywhere about the house. Those channels can be nailed and sawed. It means a fireproof, perâ€" manent home for the cost of the ordiâ€" nary wood frame, most perishable of habitations now so common. "As a partition, even if there were no other use for this channel construcâ€" tion, it is immensely valuable; for, unâ€" like all other fireâ€"resisting partitions, it can be as easily taken down as it is put up, and used over and over againâ€" something the officeâ€"owning fraternity will hail with delight. "All this opens up a vast new field for the utilization of a oneâ€"time colosâ€" sal waste of one of our chief national products." Dominion Government to Snpend $245,000 in North A despatch from Ottawa this week says that estimates by the Federal Doâ€" partment of Public Works include sevâ€" eral major undertakings for Northern Ontario, the largest of which is an apâ€" propriation of $80,000 for channel dredging at Little Current, now in proâ€" gress The list as summarized by E. A. Lapierre, M.P., of Sudbury, follows. It calls for a total outlay of $245,000 in five Northern Ontario constituencies. Temiskaming Northâ€"Timmins, P lic Building (post office), $39,000.

The advance of spring in the Northern regions usually is from the west, so that the final breakâ€"up will be some time later at points farther east. In the meantime scores of prospecâ€" tors are swarmed about the popular hoppingâ€"off places for such prosvecting areas as the Crow Riverâ€"Pickle Lake field. At Savant Lake station, in antiâ€" cipation of a busy season in the Crow Riverâ€"Pickle Lake section, considerable building activity made itself apparent and four hotels and several stores snd other places of business were built durâ€" ing the winter. At the present time every accommodation is filled to capaâ€" city with prospectors waiting for "big push" to begin. Sioux Lookout and Alâ€" lanvale are the two airplane bases and both these points are reported to be filled with prospectors. The best canoe route into Crow River and Pickle Lake is from Savant Lake, and the oldâ€"time prospector is waiting at this point with his canoe for the waterways to open. Arrivals from the North report that in spite of the comparatively seasonal weather experienced in the southern parts of Northern Ontario and the proâ€" vince generally, the extreme North, that is those sections close to and adâ€" joining the Canadian National Transâ€" continental Railway, are still ice bound and under the most favourable condiâ€" tions navigation is not expected to commence from another week at least. One mining man who came in from Savant Lake, reported that at Nakina East of Cochrane the centre of prosâ€" pecting activity this year promises to be the Chibougamau district, where spectacular results from diamond driliâ€" ing on the Chibougamau Prospectors‘ property on Merrill Island have revived interest to a major degree. The chief hoppingâ€"off points for this district are Oskalaneo, on the C.N.R. and Dolâ€" beau on Lake St. John and prospectors have been delayed at both these points for several weeks waiting for passage. In the meantime, considerable interest is attached to the work that is goâ€" ing on at the present time and the reâ€" ports of more recent drill results should be interesting. It is now six weeks since word was received from any of the Chibougamau prospects, and the arrival of the first plane from that field should bring with it news of considerâ€" able interest to the entire district..â€" Sudbury Star.

Land and Buildings at Cobalt in Little Demand Despatches last week from Cobalt referred to the lack of active buying at the tax sale at Cobalt. Two buildâ€" ings was sold by auction on Thursday afternoon at a price equivalent to about six dollars a room. Both properties, which are located on the Aladdinâ€"Coâ€" balt mine, had been put up for sale to the highest bidder on account of nonâ€" payment of ground rentals and taxes, these totalling $237.30, and the amount realized from the successful bidderâ€" the same man bought bothâ€"was $1231. H. E. Blackwall, Haileybury, was aucâ€" tioneer. he, as bailiff, having been inâ€" structed to dispose of the buildings by the Nipissing Land Co. There was little competition offcered, and in one case the bids went up only one dollar at a time in the higner stages. The purchaser of the buildings was Emile Gaboury, who, it was stated, owns a farm between New Liskeard and Uno Park, and it is his intertion to tear down both places, one of which is located on Lang St., the main road through the town. In the case of this building, his only opposition came from exâ€"Councillor Joseph Nadeau, and it was knocked down to Gaboury at $66, after having come up from $60 by a dollar at a time. While there was about two dozen persons present at the sale, the Cobaltâ€" ers on hand showed little interest in the proceedings, and not more than two or three of them put in bids at either place. All the blandishments of the auctioneer, who expressed himself as confident values would increase in the town, and who said he was an optimist with regard to Cobalt‘s future, failed to get prices beyond the figure named, and the buildings were knocked down at $55 and $66 respectively. The first building, on Ferland Avenue, has ten rooms, equally divided between its two floors, and the Lang St. property has two stores below and sxi rooms or the upper story. In the first place, there was owing $141.35. At School Sectior No. 2, Hanmer, near Sudbury, recently a boy of six years or so refused to "take the strap"‘ when the teacher felt it was coming to his sixâ€"yearâ€"old highness. The teacher first attempted to hold the boys‘ hand and thus administer the corrective punishment, but the boy mads so much struggle and fuss that this was scarcely practical. So the teacher adopted what seemed the most practical plan. He upâ€"turned the boy on his knee and applied the strap to the section most convenient. It would be bad for the teacher, the school and the pupils genâ€" erally if young rebels could successâ€" fully dispute the teacher‘s authority. Chief of all it would be especially bad for the boy who needs correction. It might well be thought that the teacher who would show a young snipe of a lad that he was after all a very insigâ€" nificant outfit in this large and busy world, and that he should take what was coming to him in the right spirit of sportsmanship, would receive the approval of the parents. The boy who defies his teacher toâ€"day, will be defyâ€" ing his father and mother toâ€"morrow,â€" if he hasn‘t done so yesterday. When he tackles the world in this spirit he is in for lot of unnecessary trouble and sorrow, physical, mental, moral and anatomic. The father of the lad in question, instead of supporting the teacher, brought an action charging assault. The case came up at Sudâ€" bury some days ago. 185. pity that parents should go to a lot of trouble and expense to back up a child when it is flagrantly in the wrong. The youngster that defies the authorâ€" ity of the teacher is naturally in the wrong. It is not a particularly happy service to any child to help the youngâ€"' ster to get away from the common sense view that authority must be resâ€" pected by all.
