A study of the matter leads TO the

that the boards of commissioners q
the several counties should be requir
ed TO levy upon the live stock of the
counties sufficient assessment to meet
the expense. This would be a fair

the people of the surrounding country,
Tor a dance had been arranged Tor the
evening. and it was rumored that San,

By s O'Clock the guests had assembled.
and those who required supper had
been served. They were then invited
to the parlor. where Santa Claus was
expected to appear and deliver the
many gifts that were on and around
the beautifully decorated Christmas
tree there. The sound of merrily tink.
ling bells. then silence, and the en-.
trance of Santa Claus gratified the
hearts of the little ones and brought
pleasant memories to the minds OF
their elders. When the gifts had beer

they wcre intended. and each one pres

cleared for the dance which soon was
in progress. the music beng furnished
by the three young sons of Mr.. Chas
Cooper, and many words of admira

Judge, all did ample justice to the
feast, so much so. in fact that wher
the splendid warm Christmas pudding
was served it required more of an eff

count of the lack of accommodation
After supper the dancing was re
sumed and continued until morning
when all had an opportunity to refresh
themselves before starting for their
homes with a nice breakfast.

TESTING FOR
TIE PLATES
experimenting IN TREATMENT
OF BLOCKS OF WOOD BE-
TWEEN RAIL AND TIE.
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Working
Under Direction Of Bureau of For
estry in Line Of Novel Tests That
Promise Much Economy in Tim
Der and Repairing Tracks.

Upon the advice of the bureau of
forestry the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe railroad eight months ago began
to experiment with wooden tie-plates.
These plates are intended to protect
the tie from wear under the rail. They
are cut the width of the bottom of the
rail and as long as the tie is wide-us-
ually 6 or 7 inches-and are kept in
place by the weight 81 the rail, IN a
fiat groove in the tie. The results OF
the experiment are of much interest
both to the railroads of the country
and to those who have at heart the
cause of forest protection.
The Santa Fe placed cypress tie
plates one-Quarter of an inch thick on
several thousand old and %much-worn
cypress ties laid in its track north of
Galveston, Tex. After eight months of
constant use the plates are perfectly
sound and show practically not a trace
of wear. The officials of the road are
greatly pleased with the result of this
trial.
The bureau of forestry will now
make similar experiments with red
gum red oak and beech tie-plates which
will be placed in the tracks of the St.
Louis and a Francisco, the Burning
ton and the Northern Pacific systems.
These are all harder woods than cy-
press, and are therefore less liable to
wear under the rails, but are much
more subject to decay. The tie-plates
made from these woods will therefore
make them about as resistant to decay
as the untreated cypress, while their
much greater hardness will better
qualify them to resist the wear of the
rails.
For a number of years cross ties
have been treated with pr~eservativss.
and tie plates of iron have been used
to increase their length of service.
Tests are constantly being made by
the bureau of forestry to improve the
character of the personalities and the
methods of their application, and to
enlarge the number of woods used for
railroad construction purposes. En-
~perimenting with wooden tie-plates is
work along the same econon ical line.
in the interest of both the railroads
and the forests. The use CT a tie
plate prevents wear on the tie and
adds years to its service: wooden tie
plates are being successfully substi-
tuted for the more expensive iron: and
abundant and cheaper woods, through
preservative treatment, are becoming
available to take the place of scarce
and expensive woods.
When a wooden ~tie-plate is worn out
inserted in it's place. In Europe these
plates cost but 81 a thousand, or 81
for every 500 ties, since two are used
upon each tie. Treservative treatment
keeps the tie from %decaying, the wood
en- ~tie-plate keeps it from wearing, and
the use of both will result in a huge
economy for the railroads. which will
react favorably upon our forests.
The whole subject Of or )ss-tie
omy was fully discussed by DR.. Her
mann Won Schrenk of the bureau of
forestry. in Bulletin No. so, entitled,
"Cross-Tie Forms and Rail ~Fastenings,
Timbers. The present experiments
are in continuance of lines Of work

He always does the best he can
To swallow his detection,
To keep from letting others see
Or know ina he is fretting,
Though he may think he ought to be
