PLANS TO ECONOMIC.
Twenty-seven Greeks Go to
Work at Atchison.


The Santa Fe has begun an interest
ing experiment, in trying to ascertain
something definite regarding the lasting
qualities OF railroad ties as affected by
certain chemicals applied until the wood
il thoroughly saturated by them. In
general this idea Of economy is not a
new one with the railroad people. More
than two years ago the Santa Fe began
shipping large quantities of ties that
had been chemically treated, into this
state. These ''piclzIed~ ties seem to have
been more or less of a success since so
many OF them were I,ut down on the
Kansas lines of that system But they
are not SO much OF a success that IT IS
impossible to improve upon them in
some way. This is what is being under
taken in the present trial. A cylinder
large enough to contain two oISthree ties
Is connected with two reservoirs. hold
ing respectively steam supplied from an
engine boiler. and a solution of chemi-
Gals. The steam and chemicals are
forced into the cylinder at once, the
moisture fastening the process. After
receiving sufficient treatment the ties
taken out and buried in different kinds Of
gravel and ballast. The gravel and bal
last win be kept moistened with warm
water, thus again Fastening artifcially
the natural process of decomposition
The tests are to be carefully conducted
and every result viii ne noted with the
Intention Of using it for reference in the
future.
There are three tie-pickling plants al
ready turning out ties for the Santa F'e-
One is at Purcell l. t. another in Tex
as, and a third in New Mexico. Two are
operated by private parties while the
third is a Santa. F'e institution. All have
been treating the ties in such a way as
was believed to render them impervlouS
to insects; and as stated above, all have
been partially successful. The ties so
treated are being studied closely, but
there are reasons why more thorough
tests should be made. so the present
plan was decided upon.
Railroads have not been the last to
note the rapid disappearance of the
great forests the source whence they
obtained their lumber and tie material.
A few years ago the Memphis forestall-
ed a famine Of this sort by putting out
thousands Of young trees of the proper
variety for the best ties But at best
this would not provide for sudden en-
ergencies that might arise in the lum-
Der or tie situation The plan Of the
Santa F'e is to economic by increasing
the lasting qualities Of that which il
has. AS an example of what a hold steel
essary to remember that wooden ties
are being replaced altogether by those
of metal Likewise, in locomotive and
car construction steel is largely taking
the place of wood Engine cabs of steel
are by no means exceptional, and the
new pressed steel cars contain but little
timber.
The tie-pickling experiment of the
Santa Fe will be watched with much in
iously concerning a possible scarcity Of
wood
