The bcrcau of forestry of the depart-
ment of agriculture has for some time
been making studies and experiments de
signed to Improve the exhaustion of the

aim of the investigation has been made
possible the utilization of cheaper and
mere abundant kinds of timber in place
of the high grade woods now employed.
The bureau believes it has solved the

In the use of these softer woods it was
found. however. that the good effects of
the use OF preservatives was nuuliied by
the wearing away of the softer fihers un-
der the rail and around the spike. The
bureau believes it has found the solution
of this difficulty by the use of a screw
spike in place of the commonly used nail
spike. In the soft woods the screw spikes
will resist nearly three times great a
strain as nail spikes. If inserted in a
screw dowel Of hard wood. the power OF
the screw spike is still greater. A key,
operated by two men, n hand-pOwer
screw spike driving machine. or n ma
chine with electric power may be en-
ployed to insert screw spikes.
The bureau of forestry is making ar
rangements for the extensive introduction
of these appliances. the need Of which has

ASSAULT WINS FRIENDS
Mrs. Nation and the Temperance Cause
Profit by Episode.

Elizabethtown, KY, July a.
Mrs. Carrie Nation. in spite of
the fact that she was knocked
out by saloonkeeper the night
previous with chair, addressed
the largest audience last night
ever assembled in Elizabethtown
to hear either a lecture or a the
atrical troupe.
Contrary to expectations, the
lecturer did not revile the sa-
loonkeeper who struck her, but
used the incident as weapon
against the whiskey traffic. In
fact she was heard praying for
her assailant after her wounds
were dressed, and she entertains
no enmity against the assailant.
The public for years has not
been so stirred up against the
whisky traffic as has resulted
from her visit to this city. Many
voters who have heretofore voted
for the saloons, now declare that
they will vote against them
hereafter.
