The Erie Dispatch says the missing

quarter Of q century. Philadelphia fTtss
Some of the Republican newspapers OF
the state have been getting up tempest
in tea pot over the reported failure ot
the clerks OF the Democratic House to
keep a proper journal of its proceedings
Not one of these critics has investigated
or published the true account Of the
matter. Mr.. Meek was chief clerk
of the House, responsible for u
proper direction of the work, at
its desks Mr.. shade was the jour.
nal clerk, in special charge Of the record
of the session. Neither is the kind Of
man to neglect his duty. The journal
was kept every day, and 1t WAS read
regularly every morning to the House {;
there was neither neglect nor suppress
sion Of It. Mr.. Meek says he has been
in Harrisburg number Of times since
the adjournment of the Legislature, and
has been to the office Of the state printer
frequently, aud never had any notice of
any incompleteness of the journal copy ;
Mr.. Shade writes from the West, where
he has been staying for some time on
legal business, that he did with the jour.

We do not assume that the Rspubli.
can state printer stole or suppressed this
copy, but II it does not appear IN his
publication Of the journal, 1t is for him
and not for the clerks Of the House to
explain the omission.

cludcd its annual session on Thursday.
Papers were read by Messrs. EgIeston, of
Washington +. 7. Baker, OF Topeka,
Kansas, and B. E. Fernop, on The
Value and Management Of Government
Timber" The last paper by John S.
Hicks, OF New York, was entitled PLANT.
ing OF Trees by Railroad Companies" ="
Mr.. Hicks presented interesting statistics
of the consumption Of wood by railroads.
He estimated the cost per mile Of ties at
1924 every seven years. or a total Of Sl4,.
7Si, 900 for the ll3, 900 miles of railroad in
the United States. To supply the neces-
sary timber would require II, G72, 600, 900
acres Of woodland kept in COntant growth
or ll3 $40 per mile OF single track road,
which would be equivalent TO a strip Of
land over 400 feet wide bssile every mile
of single road Add Quo half to the esti.
mate for double lines and sidings, and
assuming that only one halt Of the distance
could be planted, it would require nearly
one half mile OF growing timber beside
each mile Of railway to produce q sufficient
number of ties for its use, exclusive of the
timber consumed in bridging and fencing.
