RAIL ROADS.
TIES STUDIED
BY SCIENTISTS
VALUABLE DISCOVERIES MADE
! BY BUREAU OF FORESTRY.
How to Treat Wooden Sleepers and
Make Them More Iasting--Impreg-
nation With Antiseptics Successful
The Screw Spike Helps, Too.

The annual consumption of ties on
R03,132 miles Of railroad track in this
country is 114,000,000, and it is yearly
becoming harder to meet this demand.
Granite, metal, and, more recently,
concrete ties have been experimental
with, but nowhere permanently adopt
ed, and the indications are that wood
en- ties are not soon to be replaced.
The bureau of forestry of the de-
partment of agriculture has for some
time been making studies and, expert
ments designed to improve the pres
ent conditions and to prevent the ex-
haustion of the timbers from which
ties are made. The aim Of the tnves-
tigation has been to make possible
the utilization of cheaper and more
abundant kinds Of timber In place OF
the high grade woods now employed.
The bureau believes it has solved
the problem. It was found that pre-
sentative treatment of ties has long
been In use abroad and that with
tirely successful. 1mpregnation with
creosote, zinc chloride or other anti
septic substances allows the use of
many woods hitherto passed over, as
well as Of sawed ties, sap-wood and
dead timber. Preservative treatment
can make a beech or red oak or pine
tie outlast white oak tie.
In the use OF these softer woods IL
was found however, that the good
effects Of the use of preservatives was
nullified by the wearing away of the
softer fibers under the rail and around
the spike. The bureau believes it has
found the solution Of this difficulty by
the use of screw spike in place OF
the commonly used nail spike. In the
soft woods the screw spikes will re-
sist nearly three times as great 6
strain as nail spikes. If inserted ir
screw dowel of hard wood the
power of the screw spike Is still great.
err. A key, operated by two men, G

The bureau Of forestry Is making
arrangements for the extensive intro
duction of these appliances, the neet
of which has developed so conspicu
ously In the brief experience with
treated timbers. 81.

FOR RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE
Bills May Be Introduced in Legisla-
lures Here and Elsewhere.

The st. Paul Board Of Trade will
support a reciprocal demurrage bill to
be introduced at the next meeting Of
the legislature. A strong effort will
be made to have similar bills intro
duced in other northwestern states.'
Delay in furnishing cars and lack Of
motive power owing to increase of
traffic the last few years is the cause
for this movement. Shippers insist
that roads must furnish cars within
reasonable time and as a remedy for
delay want to charge the railroad for
delays in furnishing cars, for compen-
sation to the owner Of the shipment
If the car is not moved at q reason
able rate Of speed, and for compensa-
ton to the receiver If good cars are
not placed on unloading tracks
promptly. Such bills, it is said, have
been passed by the Virginia, Louisi-
ana, Florida and Texas legislatures.
