FISH COMMISSIONER BULLER
SPEAKS TO PAPER MAKERS
In Now York City nt Waldorf Tliurs
day Kvening Ucforo Members of
tho Anicrlcnn Paper nnd Pulp
Association.
Commissioner of Fisheries, N. It.
Buller, of Pleasant Mount, deliver
ed an address before the members of
tho American Paper and Pulp Asso
ciation Thursday evening at the
Waldorf-Astoria . In New York City.
The following Is taken from the ad
dress When a Commissioner of Fisheries
stands before an audience like this
ho feels In tho company exemplified
by the poet:
Two minds with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one,"
because the entire success of both
parties lies In one thing and that Is
pure water. Without pure water
the Commissioner of Fisheries Is as
helpless in the raising of flsh as the
paper maker is In producing white
ipaper. Some one has said "let mo
write tho songs of my country and
I care not who makes the laws," but
in these days the advocates of law
would largely urge in favor of paper
on which to print the laws rather
than themethod pursued In the old
days of Assyria and other ancient
Kingdoms, when the laws were
printed on clay and baked Into
bricks. What grand weapons those
bricks would make these days over
in England where tho Suffragets are
defying all the laws and would like
nothing better than' lo cast the law
covered brick hats through the win
dows of unoffending trades people.
The first paper makers In this
country used rags, and even the
Mummies of Ancient Egypt were
robbed to help keep up tho supply,
'but the supply of rags Is no longer
equal to tho demand, In spite of the
cry of so many persons that the poor
are growing poorer and there are
more of them, which would seem
ought to Increase the supply of rags.
Then the paper men turned to
other sources and took lessons from
the first paper maker who used wood
pulp. A gentleman who used his pa
per to build a home, and while he
did not pollute the streams with any
refuse, the hornet carried a sting In
his tail, which many a small boy
found out when he thoughtlessly fir
ed stones at the papermaker's abode.
It is the tall race of the pulp and
paper .manufacturer to-day that car
ries the sting that annoys the Com
missioner of Fisheries who desires
pure water.
No one appreciates more than the
Commissioner of Fisheries the value
of the paper industry and the Im
portance of its not being crippled,
"but nevertheless, as I said at first,
pure water Is as necessary to him
for his business, as It is for the pulp
and papermaker. When the paper
maker first located on the stream he
was probably the only manufacturer
upon it, and the pure water was as
cheap to him as the air which he
breathed. When, however, some
other manufacturer located above
liim and began to run refuse In the
stream In the stream which spoiled
its pureness and brought trouble and
expense to the manufacturer, there
was another exemplification of the
case of whose ox was gored. To
purify the water defiled by the man
above, the papermaker 'was compel
led to put in purification plants, and
this Is a factor with which the fish
ery Interest hopes to impress upon
you. If the manufacturer above
can be compelled to purify his water
then the money expended by the
paperman for getting that formerly
dirty water purified can be expend
ed In seeing that his refuse no long
er pollutes the stream. A regard for
the rights of one's neighbors should
be inherent In every human mind,
because every one should do unto his
neighbor as his neighbor should do
unto him.
But back of all this is the question
of economy. In tho workings of na
ture there is no waste. When' a
Elant of the forest falls before the
Btorm, It lies on the ground and
gradually wastes away. Not an atom
of it is lost In tho economy of "nature
and the remnants of that tree go to
make up the food for a successor.
Eons ago when the world was young
er by some millions of years the
-world bore a luxuriant crop of vege
tation trees and plants. In one of
those .mysterious cataclysms of na
ture, this -vegetation was shrouded
In what Is known as the carbonifer
ous age, and theso trees and this
vegetation became what we to-day
called coal. This coal has become
one of the most important factors
of life, but with its use men are
learning that every part of that coal
has a value, and all that Is not saved
Is so much of a waste and a loss of
capital.
Among the most Important uses
to which coal Is put Is In the form of
gas and coke and the manufacturers
of these products uso coa,l by tho
millions of tons. The coal repre
sents In another form the tree that
lived at the carboniferous age, which
tree is almost identical with the tree
that Is used by the papermaker to
day. The gas and coke maker were
the first to recognize tho fact that
in the workings of naturo there Is
no loss, everything being utilized.
The first ovens used to make coke
from this coal sent all the gas to
foul the air, while the waste pro
ducts ran to defile the streams. In
this latter they came in contact with
the flshory Interests, and loud were
the demands that the pollution
should be stopped. But self interest
is greater oven than regard for the
public welfare, and the makers of
coke began to take steps to save
every particle of product. At the
Bethlehem Steel Works they have
erected a series of coke ovens from
which not a particle of anything es
capes, but every part of the coal Is
made a source of revenue. Tho gas
that was allowed to escape from the
primitive ovens Is now used In help
ing heat the furnaces while the tar
land .other products are ifound to
be -of a value that surprises the
makers.
The same was true with the first
makers of gas. They saved 'at first
merely the gas and Allowed, tp run
to wasto the substances which we.re
the foulest kind oT pollution for the
waters. So foul wub this pollution
that the public revolted and tho gas
makers were compelled to take meas
ures to dispose otherwise of their
refuse than by running It Into the
streams. At S'an Franolsco the gas
companies have put in a plant which
takes care of Its refuse, and to tho
astonishment of the makers, they
have discovered a source of revenue
In lamp black and other products,
that add to their revenues In a way
that makes the makers wonder they
had never gathered that money be
fore. Such being the experience and
work of the men who handle coal It
should be a lesson that one who runs
may easily read, and it seems that
the pulp and paper maker ought to
ponder over this lesson as he looks
upon the tree which Is to go into his
crucible. Why should he- not evolve
some means to use every particle of
that tree, for every particle of It has
value.
Even the fibre that escapes and
pollutes tho stream could bo utilized
Into making wood alcohol. Some
body has defined dirt as being mat
ter out of place, and pollution is
merely only another name for mat
ter that ought to be turned into
something of value by being put in
its right place. Such being the case,
there Is no reason that the paper and
pulp maker today should not so far
consult his own Interests and a bene
fit to the Commissioner of Fisheries
by following the teachings of na
ture, and the lessons taught by the
coko 'and gas man, and instead of
polluting the streams with the waste
from his mill, turn that waste Into
pecuniary profit.
No State In the Union has lovlier
streams and lakes than the Keystone
State of Pennsylvania. Tho streams
meander through the valleys and
should be kept so pure that they
would not only be a Paradise for
fish, but a source of water supply
for the Inhabitants who people the
banks and the stock that graze upon
the fields. The lakes of Pennsylva
nia He like jewels nestling among
the hills and their pollution 'would
be a crime. Speaking of the water
supply, this Is one of the greatest
questions that the people of modern
times have to meet. New York city
alone Is spending hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to secure an adequate
supply of pure water for the use of
Its Inhabitants and to clear up the
pollution of the harbor.
The child learns to read by be
ginning with the letter A of the al
phabet, and the clarification of the
water supply should have Its first
step in stopping all pollution at its
source. You, gentlemen, have been
among the most flagrant violators In
the past, and yet it is to be hoped
that from your well known public
spirit, backed by the economics to
which I have alluded to above, you
will be among the first to take the
most stringent steps to bring about
the stoppage of pollution and co
operate in every way with the fishery
authorities in securing purer water in
which tho fish can thrive and multi
ply. You need, as I said above, as
pure water to secure perfection of
your manufactory product as the
Commissioner of Fisheries needs for
the growth of his special wards, and
this being the case, it is hoped that
from this time forward the co-operation
between us both will be, as 1
said in the beginning:
"Two minds with but a single
thought,
Two hearts that beat as one."
G-ood examples are contagious,
and if the pulp and paper makers
follow the example of the makers of
coke and gas, it will make such a
profound Impression upon other man
ufacturers that the day of pollution
will be banished to the cave3 of tho
past and the era of pure wafer and
good feeling be fully established.

has been made is not denied. There
has been no comment on it by the
President-elect.
