first line of the defence in the actual
fighting in that section.

when the japanese torpedo boats attacked
the big Russian warships. We couldn't
see anything, but when we heard the fir

there was nothing more doing until morn

the Japanese gunboats began to draw in

shells began to drop into the harbor. The

shells would explode everything would
be blotted out in a dense cloud of smoke.
After a short time the firing became more

RAILROAD TIES
Complaint Made That They Are Very
Scarce.
Scarce.

Railroad men complain that it is
now nearly impossible to get hold of
good ties in any number. The price is
now fifty or fifty-five cents apiece, but
even at this price they cannot be OBJ
tanned Some roads would take as
many as 100000 at once if they could
be obtained. tGood ties are scarcer
now than empty cars were year
ago. remarked a railroad man today.
"Now, when you stop to think of
the number of ties you pass over in
going over mile of track, you can
easily estimate the cost of building
railroads A mile of ties nowadays
would cost about ST 200.
Steel ties are gradually coming
into use. The vast amount of street
railway construction is partly respon-
sible for the shortage"
1t is reported a Pittsburg steel
mill has in operation new method of
rolling steel ties. which reduces the
cost of the steel tie and also the
amount of work necessary to prepare
a railroad to receive it.
1t will be many years, however, be-
fore steel railway ties become popu-
lar in this country.
