Wooden Rails.
tProm the winona Republican,


A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune gives some interesting facts
in regard to the wooden rail experi-
uent in Iowa. 1t appesres that the
citizens OF Elkader desiring to con-
nect their town with The Iowa Eastern
railroad, narrow gauge road passing
within few miles of that place, and
having no money to buy iron, conclud-
ed to lay wooden track, which is
thus described
The rail used is 3 IL by 5 inches,
and from Is TO Is feet in length.
Every second or third tie is slotted
so that the rails will fit into it, and
can be wedged in tight, and al the
ends the rails are halved together and
bottled with good strong bolts, and
paint is used in ell joints to protect
the wood. The inside upper corner
OF the rail is rounded, so that the cars
will run smoothly ove.' it. Nearly
two miles of the track was laid down
last Fall, and has been used during
the Winter There are one or two
pretty sharp curves in the track as
laid whore the wooden rails seems to
answer very well. A mile of wooden
track requires, of the size specified,
about Is, 400 feet of rails, which cost
delivered last fell, about S25 per
1000, or 1886 per mile. The iron
rail for the same distance would re-
quire about So tons to the mile, so
that the cost of the wooden rail is
but little more than the interest 1T
10 per cent. for one year on the cost
of the iron rail. The cost per mile
of laying the wooden rails is about
the same with both. The halving of
the rail and rounding the corners
can mostly be done by machinery.
The experiment has proved so sat-
isfactory that it is now proposed to
extend the wooden rail system and
connect with several other small
towns by the same method. 1t is es-
timated that sound mapls rail, laid
an a we'll drained road bed, will last
between three and four years. They
are thought to be peculiarly we'll
adsnted to narrow gauge roads, on
which the rolling stock is much light
ar and consequently the wear and
tear upon the rails is much less than
unon roads of ordinary gauge.

IMPORTANT DECISION The Wis
consia Supreme Court has decided
that where a candidate to the voters
at large agree to perform the duties
of the office for less than the salary
fixed by law, is within the Esprit" of
the law. obtaining votes by bribery.
and all votes obtained by means
thereof will be rejected by the courts
in the count. The decision is SEN
sibIe one. The practice in some local
tiles of putting up an office at auction,
to be taken by the bwest bidder,
should be discouraged. 1t is evident
from the decision of the court, as
above, that the proceeding is unlaw-
full. 1t is certainly unjust, as tending
to rob the people of that security
which the law affords in q regular
election.
