the country are being eaten up is In
supplying timber for railway trestle
work. There are 1000 miles of trestle
structure in the United States, accord
Ing to the estimate by the forestry d.
vision. This trestle work has to be re-
placed entirely every nine years, on an
average, and every year timber
amounting to 26O,000,0O0 feet, board
measure, is used for this purpose.

largest and finest trees. The annual
expenditure on this work is estimator
at about 100000.
