This fireproof lining is manufactured by the Denny Ren ton Clay & Coal Company of Seattle. The buff<olored, hollow, square pipe ig made of wellbaked clay and is guaranteed to be absolutely fire proof. A fireclay thimble fe manufac tured also by the company, which makes it possible to carry stove pipes through the walle to the chimney safely. With these guar. antees against fire, it would seem PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY Has always furnished More Power to the citi- zens of Puget Sound than has been demand- ed. the installation of the Fire Clay lining.

Japanese Foreign Trade Declines . Heavily in July Falling prices of Oriental com- Modities reflects itself in Japan's foreign trade slump in July. Japan's exports were 98.000.000 yen in ly against 108,000,000 yen in June, the decrease being due chiefly to fall in value of tea and textiles, says for Mills: Port Blakely, Wash. of Commerce. Japan's imports in July amounted to 109,000,000 yen against 147,000,000 in June, and practically all lines declined, with fron and steel suffering moet.

Makes Iron From Sand Pig tron ts being manufactured from the black magnetic sands of | | various beaches on Puget Sound, | according to information received | from SedroWooRey. ‘The interest | ing work is being done by the New } Era Iron and Steel Corporation of | Sedro-Woolley, with Seattle officer }im the Crary building. Black sand| briquettes are prepared first, the blast furnaces turning out pig iron | from these briquettes. | | ‘The company’s facilities at present | are restricted to preparing sand briquettes for the blast furnaces, jand in demonstrating the feasibility | | of taking the magnetic sands, In un- | limited quantities, from Puget Sound beaches, and developing the tron jand steel industry in the Puget} Sound country. The difficulty in working ont a process by which iron can be ex tracted from the sand has been the | fact that always sand disintegrates | before getting to the fusion point The New Era company has dis | covered @ “binder”. procens, it | claims, that will hold the sand to gether. Mr James 1. Avis, metallurgical engineer, associated in developing jthe work, says the tronm-bearing | j black sands abound fn unlimited) quantities from Alaska to Southern California, millions and millions of tons “Virtually af these sands,” says Mr, Avis, “carry a large percentage | of titanium, an element, the elimi | nation of whose presence has always | constituted @ tremendous problem jin the smelting of ores containing it~as low as 1 per cent being con sidered by metallurgists and biast | furnace men as too high @ propor | tion to render economical smelting possible. “Much time and a great amount | of money have been devoted in re jcent years in an effort to produce pig iron and steel from these black sands. One of the first steps of the process consists ofthe neces: sity of briquetting the sands. The| binder used for briquetting must function as a binder until the fusion | point of briquettes has been reached Jin the furnace. Another equally important step is that the binder must act as a scavenger or purifier and remove the titanium. “On these two steps hangs suo cess or failure and former efforts have either failed entirely or pro- duction has been at prohibitive cost as far as commercial purposes are concerned. Experiments carried on in the Middle Atlantic states, in California and New Zealand in re cent Years have practically rewulted | in such failure from the commercial standpoint. During the world war Japan has been experimenting also along these lines and has produced pig irons and steels—but far in ox cess of commercial cost production. “This metal has been produced in a thoroly modern ten-ton expert mental blast furnace with sands brought in from the Yakitat and Latouya vicinities. Not only has the fine quality of pig iron been determined but it has been further proven that high grade steels—free from impurities—suitable for all purposes, either plain carbon, tool and alloy steels, are but a step further in the process, “The iron produced from the black sands has been subjected to all forms of tests and analysis and have made a remarkable showing, strength tests, chemical analysis, machinery, drilling, thread-cutting, Physical structure and actual serv } 100 operators Aderican Legion to , Fill Up Its Ranks At a luncheon tn the Masonic elub |held Monday noon, more than 150 American Legion members organized & plan to recruit every man and !woman in Seattle eligible for mem bership, into their ranks, Salvation Army Discusses Budget An executive committee of the Sal | vation Army met at Wolf's cafeteria, Monday noon, and plans to raise the 1971 maintenance budget were dis lousned, Bert L.

G Veigic, district forest inepector. This production, the report points out, will not decrease the lumber output, It will simply make use of Umber wasted or lost under pres ent operations. “From personal observation many culover areas and from formation recelvel from more than ta the region, it is estimated that! there ia an average of 2000 board feet per acre left on t least 60 per cent of the cutover roa, which would rake available An additional 79.99,000 board feet or 116,000 cords,” rays the report “The average of 2.000 board feet per acre that Is now available will be more than doubled when the market conditions make it profit able to take out the short pieces left in the woods, which is now be ing done in the East and will be done here in less than 20 years.” Commenting on mill waste and its paper pulp possibilities, the report waye: “A third source of supply ‘s mill waste, the slabs and of which are fully equal to fourth of volume of the log, and a large percentage of this could be and is now utilized for pulp. In addition, the report declares there ts in this region “an enormous amount of Dougtas fir mill waste and brok en and low grade logs at present @ of one | total loss, which could be profitably utilized in the manufacture of soda pulp.” The report pointy out that during the @eende 1 to 1930 the eupply of pulpwood will be increased over the amount at the present time— because of the increased annual cut and the increase in the percentage ef hemlock and silver fir on the areas cut over, Definite Facts Re- garding Port Facil- ities Clinching any argument as to the superior facilities of Seattle in com parison with other ports of the Pa cific is not hard, if*our readers as- similate the following facts: The area of Seattie’s wharves is 101 acres, and the capacity of the spur, tracks is 2,000 freight cars. Alaska sends thru the port of Seattle the only tin produced in United States territory from placer deposits. With the growth of fish and fruit canning in this locality this supply will be of immeasurable importance and will hasten develop. ment of the Industries to a point | where its prestige is without rival. Seattle has 13,000,000 cuble feet of warehouse space on the water side, and storage capacity for 760, | 000 tons of merchandise, plus tank storage capacity of 24,000,000 gallons for vegetable olf and 5,035,033 bushels for grain. At the water side there are cold storage facilities for 36,000 tons of produce.
