Demand Greatest Known.

! The Iron Trade Review, discussing
the market conditions last week
/ says: Next to the continued heavy

Invents Steel Railroad Tie.

G.. ri. McDermott Il well known con-
duclor on the ID. & [. r. has invented
and taken Il patent for IL steel rail
road tie.
Mr. McDermott's device is intended
to do away with wooden lies. and
supplies in their stead heavy sleeper
plal es with depending teeth designed
10 enter the ground or road bed. the
plates being held together by connect
ing rods of metal bars.
The special advantages of the steel
lie are that it holds the rails firmly
in place. prevents spreading, which
is the cause Of many wrecks. and will
not rot. This is the first time, to our
knowledge, that anyone has submit
ted sat isfactory substitute for the
wooden sleeper.
MIR. McDermott has submitted his
patent to several prominent officials
among railroad men throughout the
country. Many have spoken well of
it. and think it may be adopted in
the future.
We nope that Mr.. >McDerm0tt will
soon be able TO have his invention
put 10 the test, and that it will prove

the bundles are unwrapped and the
