In support of his project General Stone

says:
ed and of the great public benefits to &C.
| crue, the government could well afford
to incur the small additional expense of
handling these funds and loan the
money at the same rate of interest,"
/ that it pays to the owner. Suppose
the rate to be q per cent, the interest
on the bonds could easily be taken from
the ordinary road funds of the county,
and. as the county roads would need no
repair during the construction years.
the road tax could either be lessened
for the time or applied to the improve
ment of local roads. Some counties, OF
course, would be too conservative to
accept this plan, but there would be
enough ready snd willing to take ad-
vantage of it to show it's benefits and
ultimately lead the others to its adop-
ton.
"For this purpose long-term bonds
would be more desirable than short
ones, and probably payment would not
be required in less than a hundred
years, if then, so that no present pro-
vision need be made in reference to
the principal, except that the county
should have the privilege of pawn Mt
after thirty or fifty years"

For Preserving Railroad Ties.

A plaot is located at Sumerville
known as the Texas Tie and Lumber
Preserving company. The yardage
capacity is 1000, 900 ties. The ties are
loaded on train of trucks, which are
run into great sealed iron cylinder
100 feet long and 6 feet in diameter.
The air is pumped out, and the va
CUM serves to open the pores of the
ties. They are then treated. to an in
lection of chloride of zinc. The timber
absorbs the chloride, after which the
pores are filled up with preparation OF
glue.and tannin, Injected into the re-
tort under pressure OF 100 pounds to
the square inch. Twelve hours are re-
quired to treat q train load of ties and
about 5000 are treated in a day. The
plant is now equipped with four retorts
and two more are being built.
For several years tie timber has
been getting scarce, and the railroads
r. recognized that something must be
done to meet the emergency. The
treating of soft wood was begun and
continued until the Southern Pacific.
Santa Fe and Rock Island companies
are now using the treated ties. Untreat-
Ell western mountain pine lasts four tc
five years. After being put through
the chemical process, they last from
ten to twelve years. Some of the roadl
are operating plants of their own al
which all the ties they use are pu,
through the process.
