BIG TIMBER TRANSFER
Mrs. NJ. E. HallocIx Sells Two TIloas-
and Acres Of Land to Eastern
Firm.

A deal has been consummated
whereby Mrs. M. e. Hallock has
sold to Minnesota parties 1000 acres
Of timber land on the LaCreole
river about six miles above Dallas.
Rumors Of possible sale Of the
Hallock lands, which comprise one
Of the largest tracts Of standing
timber held by single owner in
Polk county, have been in the air
for many months, and it was known
that many Eastern capitalists had
been negotiating for their purchase.
The men who have purchased this
land are experienced sawmill men,
and have capital sufficient to enable
them to carry out any enterprise
they may undertake.
Messrs. Fuller & Lacey, who
were instrumental in making this
sale, are not at present prepared to
say what the company will con-
clude to do in the way Of putting
in milling plant, but it is hoped
that the purchasers will be able to
secure a sufficient amount of the
first-class timber tributary to the
LaCreole river to justify them in
putting in one Of the largest mills
on the Pacific Coast at Dallas.

AMERICAN TIMBERS.
Tests in Progress at Washington, D. C
Yale University and Elsewhere.


Timber tests which shall determine the
strength of the principal American tim
bers slsed for construction purposes are
now in progress at Washington, j.. c..
at Yale university. New Haven. Conn,
at Purdue university. Lafayette Ind.
and at the University of California
Berkeley. Cal These tests are made I'M
der the direction of the bureau of for
estry, and are for the benefit OF lumber
men, construction engineers and scientific
men who are interested in the strength
of different wood tibers The bureau Of
forestry plans from the results of its
tests to make tables of the strength Of
different American woods to which the
engineer may refer when he wishes to
know what timberS 40 use for certain
purposes. The tests will be in cross
bending and breaking, compression with
and against the grain, and shearing.
No complete and satisfactory series Of
tests on large sticks of timber has ever
been made ia this country. Lumber
manufacturers in the south and the Pa
cific coast states are especially interested
in this work, since they wish to know
more about their product. They have
contributed gratis much of the material
used in the tests.
The chief timbers now being tested are
the southern pines and the red fir of the
dGluC COAST. III Ile laboratories at
Washington tests are row in progress on
lohlolly pine sticks II flet long and Skill
SKI and SKI inches. Special attention is
given to the effects of moisture on the
strength Of wood. In the case of loblolly
pine which has grown rapidly. the
strength was found to decrease 30 to 60
per cent. after the dry wood had been
soaked several days in water The fact.
however, is not yet established and will
have to be proved by further expert
ments. The timbers tested are of the
usual grades purchased in the market
and are not selected pieces.
At the laboratory of the Yale forest
school in New Haven small selected
pieces of long-leaf pine. without knots or
other defects, are being tested so as to
learn what is the ultimate strength of
the fibers.
At Berkeley. Cal. tests are being made
on red fir from timbers contributed by
red fir manufacturers.
Or. w. X. HIATT. who is stationed at
Purdue university, is carrying on a series
of tests there with hardwood timbers and
is preparing for publication the results
of all the tests of the bureau.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY

Washington, d. c.

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
Aname that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard A man of steady nerve, clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his opin-
ion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement 1t appeared on later conversa-
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

opposition and has won its way to the hearts
of the people. The natural timiditv which
so many people have felt about giving en-
dorsements to any remedy is giving way.
Gratitude and desire to help others has
inspired thousands of people to give public
testimonials for Perunawho heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
1t happened that so many men of national
and international reputation have been will
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to proprietary remedy. No amount
of advertising could have accomplished such
result. Peruna has won on it's own
merits. Peruna cures catarrh Of whatever
phase or location in the human body. That
is why 1t receives so many notable and
unique endorsements.
