Tuesday afternoon in charge OF the party
OF scientists who are exploring the geo.
logical and fossil fields of southwestern
Wyoming. Mr.. Darlow states that the trip
TO Laramie from Omaha, going around by
way of Kansas City, was made without
especial incident. At Kansas City a num-
Der of scientists who had expressed their
intention to join the party were awaiting
the main body which went from this city
and still many moro were gathered in Lar
annie. so that when the journey into the
fields Of exploration was started there were
about 100 members OF the party. After see
ing them safely started on the inland trip,
in charge of Prof. w. G. Knight Of the State
University of Wyoming, Mr.. Darlow's con-
nection with the expedition came to an end.
He states that the professors and scien-
lists, who had eagerly accepted the invitation
of the Union Pacific to join this party were
more than pleased with the opportunity
presented for exhaustive research in a terri
tory which gives promise of most interesting
developments OF a scientific nature.

WILL TREAT RAILROAD TIES
Plant Erected at Edgemont for Preservation
Of Wooden Ties,
TWO ROADS HAVE TRIED IT SUCCESSFULLY
SANTA Fe and Southern Pacific Find
that Chemical solution Lengthens
Life of Ties-Ncw Burlington
Plant VIII Cost 100000.

AS exclusively announced in The Bee n
few days ago, the Burlington road Is rapidly
progressing in the erection OF a plant at
Edgemont, S. D., which, when completed,
will be used for tie purpose Of treating
railroad ties by a process designed to pre-
serve them.
The plant will cost $4,000 and It is ex-
pected to have 1t completed and ready for
operation by October ].
Since the earliest days Of railroading the
question OF securing ties which would prove
most serviceable and last the Longest has
been a serious one. The constant wear and
tear on the ties has necessitated the replace
ment of old ones as soon as they are per-
ceptibly worn. The Santa Fo road, It is be-
lieved, is the first company to originate a
plan whereby the length or service Of the
ordinary ties can be increased. A solution
OF chloride OF zinc was applied to all tics
by a specially arranged process and the eX-
pertinent has proven such a success that
the Burlington road, after investigation, con-
cluded to place in operation a similar plant.
The Santa Fe's tie-preserving plant is To-
Gated at Las Vegas. The Southern Pacific
also has plants used for this purpose in the
south and in California.
The Burlington selected Edgemont as the
most conveniently situated point for erecting
the plant, as most Of the ties used on this
system are cut in the Black Hills and the
Big Horn mountains and Edgemont is the
junction of the lines which operate in these
localities.
General Superintendent Calvert OF the
Burlington, in speaking Of the new plant,
says: ''Our Edgemont tie-preserving plant
will treat about 5000 ties per day. The
process is what is known as the chloride
of zinc process. the same as that used by
the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific roads.
We are now storing ties at Edgemont, which
will be treated as soon as the plant is un-
der way. This we hope to be some time in
October.
1.-The ties are put in large, air-tight iron
cylinders, the air pumped out and the ties
heated hot by steam. The chemicals are
then pumped in and the ties kept in the
solution under high pressure until they are
saturated, when they are removed.
w have a yard at Edgemont, in which
We can store sec 0G0 ties. 1t is necessary
that they be piled up and allowed to season
for about sixty days before they are in shape
to treat"

RUNS OVER INVALID CHAIR
Mrs. Catherine Il. Price is Thrown
Down by Coming in Contact with
l.. Whittenberger's Buggy.

While George Elicit was wheeling Mrs.
Catherine T. Price, 1917 Burdett street, down
the street Friday evening about 1880 he was
run into by a buggy driven by l.. Written
berger. Mrs. Price was thrown on the
pavement and her left shoulder badly
wrenched. AS she is SO years of age, the
injury Is serious. A warrant was issued for
Whittenberger's arrest yesterday on the
complaint Of Mr.. Elicit.
Mr.. Elicit stated that he was pushing
the chair across Sixteenth street, near Web
ster, when the accident occurred. Written
berger drove up behind him, the wheels Of
the buggy brushing against him. The buggy
struck the chair and Mrs. Price was tossed
from it to the block pavement. Elicit says
there was no apparent excuse for the ac-
cident, because W~hittenberger was not
driving fast and seemed to be watching
where he was going.

Short Line COntempIates Change of
Route Affecting IdahO's Capital.
There Is a strong probability that the
city of Boise, Idaho. will soon be placed
on the main line of the Oregon Short Line,
instead of having to content itself with a
branch service from Nampa, twenty miles
away. The citizens of Boise have taken the
matter into their own hands and a short
time ago held a rousing mass meeting, in
which they agreed to furnish the grade for
the road provided it be run, by means Of a
Bancroft of the Short Line Is quoted as
saying that the change will be made IL the
statement Of Boise citizens Is true, to the
effect that the line can be extended through
Boise without increasing it's length more
than eight miles. A proposition made by the
officials of the Short Line to Boise about a
month ago was that engineers would be
placed in the field and survey the proposed
line and IL 1t should be practicable the
change would be made in case the citizens
of Boise would grade the road. Such a
change would necessitate considerable ex-
pense on the part of the railroad, as 1t
would require the building of two high
bridges, a raising of the grade and the lay
ing of new track.
The report of the engineers who have
been in the field investigating the proposed
route Is expected In a few days and then
the people of Boise will know whether or
not they are to have through trains run
ming.

TRIBUTE TO COL. iNGERSOLL
Rev. Halves of First Universalist
Church Talks of His Boy
hood Days.

Rev. Lewis NJ. Halves OF the First Uni
versalist church of this city was the friend
OF Robert G.. Ingersoll in the days OF his
youth. What Mr.. Halves has to say about
that period of Ingersoll's life Is very inter-
esting, as 1t shows his true character-the
nobility OF his nature.
The announcement Of Robert G.. Inger-
soils death has awakened my recollections OF
his early boyhood, i" said Mr.. Halves His IA
ther, Rev. John Ingersoll, was pastor OF the
Presbyterian church at Belleville, Jefferson
county, N. Y, in 1S39-4O, about two years.
During that time the family lived but a few
doors from my home, and nearly every day
l saw Robert, as well rs others OF the fam
lily. He is distinctly remembered by me as
a bright, thoughtful boy, possessing an
amiable and winsome disposition. In his
speech and manners he was gentle and re-
s%pectful, yet brave and manly for one OF his
years. He seemed incapable Of trickery or
dishonesty in his intercourse with his COM
panions.
His religious training was decidedly sec
tartan, such as his father was most DESTROYS
he should receive. He was required to see
himself in the Calvinistic mirror of election
and re probation. That he should turn away
from the view thus presented to him dis
gusted and Mortified is what might be nat
urally expected of one of his tender sensi-
bilities of soul.
"'O'erbend 1t and 1t breaks was the
moral which Aesop would teach as he flung
his Bonded bow at the feet Of his master.
Though not indorsing the peculiar religious
views of Mr.. 1ngersoll, yet l accord to him
the right to honestly entertain these views.
That he sincerely believed what he advocated
few will deny. He was willing to stand or
fall by the belief which he professed. Large
numbers of intelligent, respectable people
attended his public lectures, nor were they
satisfied with one attendance. 1t goes with
out saying that in his private life Mr.. Inger-
soil possessed the confidence and esteem Of
all who knew him. His sudden and unex-
pected demise has awakened a sense Of in
tense sensibility in many hearts. A good
man does not die without leaving friends
and mourners.'

good one from a building standpoint there
has been a keen demand for expert mechanics
and the supply of the proper kind of work
