LEWIS COUNTY MILLS BUN
WITHOUT UNION STRIKERS
CENTRALIA, Aug. 6.—Altho the
loggers in both the Eastern Railway
& Lumber company’s camp and the
Martin camp walked out yesterday
morning, both mills are running and
expect to have a new crew in the
woods In the near future. The East
ern mill has enough logs to keep
them going until the latter part of
the week but the Martin mill may
have to close down before then If the
camp is not started again soon. About
20 men are reported to have walked
out a; Wilson Brothers’ camp at In
dependence but not another point in
Lewis county is reported to be af
fected.
Frank A. Martin, president of the
H. H. Martin Lumber company, said
yesterday, “It is Impossible for the
mills of Western Washington to op
erate on an 8-hour basis. We are in
direct competition with the white
pine mills of the Middle West and the
yellow pine manufactories of the
South, and all of these plants oper
ate on a 10-hour basis."
Late last night it was reported that
the Platt mill at Frances had been
forced to close down on account of
the strike and that a part of the crew
ofthe Lincoln creek mill, at Galvin,
had walked out.
WARNING AGAINST
THE BURMA BEAN
It has come to the knowledge of
the United States Department of Ag
riculture that certain shipments of
beans from the Orient known as Bur
ma or Rangoon beans have entered
this country from Canada.
They closely resemble the ordinary
navy bean in appearance, but can be
distinguished by the light yellowish
color and the fine, distinct radiating
lines passing out from the hilum or
eye.
They are pole beans of the Lima
type and not suitable for planting in
this country, since they are of tropi
cal origin and will not mature in the
bean-growing States. They are not fit
for human food, since they yield hy
drocyanic acid In amounts which may
be dangerous to the health of the peo
ple of the United States.
The port and border laboratories
of the Bureau of Chemistry are un
der instructions to make examination
of all shipments of such beans offer
ed for entry and to effect their de
tention.
BELOW THE MOUNTAINS.
The Higher the Elevation the Lighter
the Material Under IL
Researches of the United States
coast and geodetic survey carried on in
recent years prove beyond doubt that
mountains are not held up by the ri
gidity or strength of the earth’s mate
rials, but by the fact that the materials
under them (in the outer portion of the
earth) are lighter than normal.
The higher the mountain or the pla
teau the lighter is the material under
It The principle Is exactly the same
as that which makes an iceberg float
The portion of the iceberg that Is
above water is held up by the large
mass of ice—which has a density lower
than that of water—in the submerged
portion of the berg.
So, In the case of the mountain, the
portion above the general level ia held
up by the lighter material under the
mountain, which extends down to a
depth of about sixty miles. Although
the mountain is held up or floated by a
lighter material under it, the bottom of
the ocean is depressed because the
material under it to a depth of about
sixty miles below sea level is heavier
than normal.
What may be considered as the nor
mal condition is that which obtains in
the large river valleys and under the
coastal plains. >
