CUT 16 MILLION Decrease in Property in State ‘ Noted OLYMPIA, Sqpt, 20.—Reporta gtv en out Tuesday by the state equaliser tion committee, in session here, Indl cate more than $16,000,000 decrease state, A $3,000,000 reduction of this amount is figured by the committee on public utility lines subject to a» senement by the state, Assessed valuation of all property tn the state was given as $1,177,239, 240, ‘This is lower than last year, when the figure was $1,193,925,659. In a man of the state equalization com. mittee, Tuesday, an increase of three quarters of a mill tn educational tax and a collection of an extra mill is due to the imposition of the state bonus tax for this year. The committees announced that the Assessed ratio to actual value ts low. er this year than that of last year, this year being 41.65 per cent, as againet 42.54 per cent of last year, According to the echool census tn the 1, there are 375,870 children this year, as against 363,814 last year, The equalization committee must raise, according to law, $7,517,- 000 for public school purposea, This is about $20 per school child in total tax valuation tn the enttre| summary tssued by Gov.

BUSINESS CREOSOTING OF TIMBER IS ONE OF SEATTLE’S IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES Colman Starts Industry ‘The treatment of timber with & preservative protess known as creosoting has made possible the development of a large and im- portant industry in the northwest section of the country. Two Seattle companies are engaged in the bust ness, the Colman Creosoting Com- pany and the Pacific Creosoting Company. The former is the olter of the two, having had its start in 1886, The Colman Creosoting Com- pany has been in business con- tinuously since that date, and has bailt up an industry of far-reach- timber preservation on the Pacific Coast was begun in 1836, when Mr. J. M. Colman, a Seattle wharf owner, erected a small expertmental plant consisting of two 2¢inch re torta, $0 feet in length, designed for the treatment of piling with creosote ofl This plant was con structed according to information gathered from a series of articles on wood preservation, which ap peared about that time in The North American Review. The method consisted of what is now known as the steaming, vacuum, and pressure process. Plants have been built by west- ern raitroads tn California and Ore gon, particularly for the preserva: tion of cross ties. Only in Orecon and Washington, the great forest states of the Pacific Coast, has the Basides one or im the Northwest, four of which are locited on Puget Sound and have a combined capacity of about 200,000 board feet per day. It is quite remarkable that, not- withstanding the very considerable amount of experimental work which and perfecting of the meth- of handling, The treating cy} inders are made of heavy stec! plate and are usually about six feet in and from 60 to 130 feet in Tho ends are fitted with swung with hinges or sus- pended from above and soarranged bolts that they can be readily sealed, The timber to be treated is 80 loaded by cranes or derricks on special trucks as to utilize all the space within the cylinders, Creosote off is practicany only preservative used in Build With DOUGLAS FIR LUMBER Puget Mill Company WALKER BUILDING SEATTLE the the CONTINENTAL PIPE MANUFACTURING COMPANY ‘Manufacturers of Machine Wire-wound and Continuous Stave Woo q Pipe and Semi-circular Flume—Wood Tanks.

Two methods of preparation and treatment are in common practice: the steaming, vacuum, and pressure process, and the boiling process, which Is another name for the open tank method with the addition of & pressure after the water has been dolled out of the wood. The latest and most modern plants are using the steaming, vacuum, and pressure process refined and brought down to date, while many are still botling thelr timber. The boiling process ts more simple in its operation and re quires a plant which can be con structed at a somewhat lower Initial expenditure, It can be very suc ceasfully used with some clasecs of timber, expecially if first water. seasoned, but this process ts open to some #erious objections, The pen etration of the off in fir piles when treated In this way {= liable to be very irregular, varying In the same pile sometimes from one-quarter of an inch on one side to two and one-half inches on the other. Every pile so treated has to be bored at one or more points to ascertain the depth .of the oi] and in “common practice from & to 10 per cent must be returned for retreatment on ac count of insufficient penetration. This is caused by @ striking pe cullarity of western fir, which. when exposed to the sun, and to some extent when airseasoned, be comes what is known among the creosoting fraternity as sun-baked, the exposed part being very hard and almost impervious to the oil. ‘The steaming, vacuum, and pres- sure process, although requiring @ somewhat more elaborate and ex: pensive plant, overcomes in & great measure both of these difficulties and produces excellent results in @ period not exceeding 24 hours. Re cent tests made at the forestry ex- perimental station at the Unt- .| veruity of Washington showed an average depreciation of but 9 per cent in steam-treated timbers, which after two months recovered almost their original strength. During the first hours the steam enters the pores of the cold wood and condenses, and later again evaporates when the wood rises to the surrounding temperature, open ing the pores so that when the | steam is blown off the timber is uniform ag to moisture and well heated throughout, Undoubtedly the blowing off of the steam also has @ tendency to open the pores. The steaming need n be continued longer than to feat the timber through. This in ties requires from three to four hours and in piling from five to eight hours, ac- cording to the size of the timber and the pressure of the steam. Having been steamed, the drying goes on uniformly under the vac uum, which is the real seasoning period and the most refined process known to science, Timber treated by this method ty found to contain & very uniform penetration of ofl, as uniform, perhaps, as could be ex- pected in any wood whose grain and density vary like that of Doug las fir, It is very seldom, under the equalizing influence of this process, that any timber is found requiring retreatment. This fact, together with the high percentage of remain. ing strength, ts certainly quite fa- vorable to the latter process. WAREHOUSING ené DRAYING 204 Naflread Ave. Se.

Lang Stove have proven that there ts no stove manufactured tn America which has the expert devices that this Seultle stove possesses, The miles of the various ranges and stoves [have tnereased more rapidly than the manufacturing departments have been able to aatiaty, Yet every order is taken care of as goon as possible, and shipment made within a few days after re celpt of order, It is no idle boast that the Lang’s products will soon be in demand all over the country because of their superiority, When a product is good its merits become known.

HOT BLAST BURNER PATENTED In ordinary stoves, from 35 to 60 per cent of the heat unite are wasted ip the gases and uncon sumed carbon-laden smoke that ¢s- capes up the chimney, The HOT BLAST SMOKE BURNER of the Lang range prevents this lom A HOT BLAST of air ts forced over the top of the fire, through holes in the top of the firefront and fire back castings; liberates the oxygen which, instantly mixing with the flame, causes increased combustion and, therefore, BURNS most of the gases and smoke that would otherwise be wasted. This means a saving tn fuel that will soon pay for the stove. ‘The fire box ts an exclusive Lang feature and ts protected by patent. Any other socalled Hot-Blast fire box is direct infringement on the Lang Patent, No. 990,884, It large and is adapted for burning either wood or coal The grate bare—aix in number—are joined to a crom-bar at the front to which the shaking lever is attached.

The oven door is supported by rigid braces. When closed ft ts airtight and cannot fall open. A high grade thermometer is installed for convenience in regulating tem- perature. There are no springs to weaken and get out of order, As the pipe is at the extreme end of the range, the warming closet in the Lang is much roomier and More conventent than that found on any other make of stove, The range is mounted on gracefully curved nickeled legs which permit sweeping and cleaning under the stove and prevents all possibility of danger from fire Great Western Smelting & Refining Co, ers and Kefiners of BABBITT METALS SOLDER FOUNDRY and TYPE METALS » Me SEATTLE Stetson & Post Lumber Co.
