The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1873-08-14

The railroads Of this country must
sooner or later, turn their attention to
the question Of timber supply for their
own use. Already wood has become
dearer than coal for locomotive pur-
poses on most Of the great roads, on
account Of the item Of hauling hy teams
to the stations. Ten years ago . coal
burning locomotive was = rarity in
the West, if not in the country; new
the wood burners are the exceptions.
But the myst important decrease, TO be
feared is i, the kiad of.timber suitable
for its ties-oak or locust. The latter
is considered the most durable, but
the best Of either must be renewed
every eight years. For every thou
sand miles Of railroad there must Be 4
hundred and twenty. Eve miles Of ties
cut every year. Mr.. Talmage, super.
intendent Of the Atlantic 4 Pacific
road, has besn considering this matter
and has ordered an immense area along
the line Of his road to be Immediately
planted with 1oc7sts. either from tie
seed or from young trees. He intends
TO- make this . permanent part Of the
business Of the road and employees il
sections Of country ID which il i pos-
sibls aud he believes that other lines
will have TO start, 'slocust farms" be-
fore long, also.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1873-08-14

Mr.. Rhett, the man who killed an
other in the recent duel near New
Orleans, in the newspaper which he
edits argues in favor Of sending a del.
egation to MacMahon, the French
President, to ask France to ass ,me the
government of Louisiana, hy authority
of clause in the original treaty Of
cession, which guaranteed ia. the then
citizens of Louisiana equal rights with
other American citizens. The New
York Times points out that the de-
vice is defective, because (1) the citi'
Gems Of Louisiana have equal rights
with other American citizens, and (2)
the treaty only guaranteed the rights
of Louisianians until ths territory was
admitted as q State.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1873-08-14

A quiet significant event Of the week
is the collapse of the most powerful
and dictatorial of the labor unions.
The Crispins who carried high hand
in the large manufactures in the East.
ern cities and elsewhere, have utterly
broken down, leaving their representa-.
tive, = Mr.. Cronan, in for 10000
damages for interfering with IN en-
ployer's business. That gentleman
sadly remarks: II for one have seen
enough Of mans in6delity to man. l
believe the laboring man should strive
to elevate himself; but he must do it
in this free country by industry, sobri-
ETY., and the intelligence which al may
acquire. Artificial methods and COM
binations may promise we'll in the be-
ginning, but are always certain to end
in miserable failure" In this he has
gone from one extreme to the other.
Artificial methods and combinations
not only promise we'll, but do well
where they are conducted on just prin-
ciples but where they assume the
role Of tyrants and dictators, they are
very sure to come 70 grief, and that
right speedily. This lesson Of the
Crispins viii have : salutary effect
upon other trades sunions. .-znteyi0r,
