A. w. Taft of Woodstock has invented
and secured a patent on a new conbina-
ton wood ad metal railroad tie which is
attracting considerable attention. Mr..
Taft has been offered a royalty of three
cents per tie for the use of them on 80
miles Of road, which mounts TO about SO
per mile. He is also receiving inquiries
about the tie from various parts of this
country and from England. The tie ques-
ton has been n veXed one in railroad af-
fairs, and attempts have been made to sub
stitute steel ties for wood, but they were
found so unylelding as to inJure the rolling
stock. Mir. Taft conceived the idea of Il
steel skeleton tie. with cushions of wood
to support the rails. His invention en-
bodies that idea. This steel tie, once plac-
ed. remains. At each end is a recess to
receive n block of wood 20 inches long, six
inches thick and eight inches wide. A por-
ton of the steel coffin projects above the
block to prevent any possibility of the
rails spreading. and the rails are spiked
firmly 10 the wood, as in case of ordinary

snow slides and at Apex, Col, the wife
and two small children of Mr.. Rudolph

town of Breckenridge about DO miles from
Leadville Is completely isolated. Fuel and
provisions are getting low and much suf-
fering owing to lack of necessities must
result.
Not a wheel has moved out of Como on
the South Park for two days and reports
from there tell of great losses of range
stock. The mines about Lcadville have
been forced to close down and no ore can
be moved. Hundreds of men have worked
almost necessarily at different points on
the South Park line between Como and
LeadVille to open tho road for traffic, but
have been compelled to surrender to the
elements.
The snow is packed in great drifts in
the cuts and the wind piles ii in as fast
as shovels make an opening. Kokomo is

danger of destruction threatens the town.
No trains have moved west of LeadviI'e

days. Should the storm keep up as at
present very great suffering and loss If
