CUP AND GUTTER.
Practical Results Of the New System
Of Turpentin1n0.

Practical Results OF the new 0yOso@
of Turpentining.
BY DR.. CHARLES H. HERTY.
The rapid introduction of the cup and
gutter system by turpentine operators
proves beyond doubt that the expert
mental stage has been passed. No
stronger confirmation of the value Of
the results obtained at Ocilla, Ca,
could be given than the fact that by
far the greater portion Of the cups
placed during the past winter were on
farms where the cup had been tested
on small scale during the preceding
season. Not all operators are yet con-
WINGED: there are still doubters and
scoffers, but their number Is rapidly
diminishing.
In the hands Of few the system has
been abused. The fact that under 1t
the trees are not weakened and made
subject to overthrow by windstorms,
as boxed trees are, has induced some
operators to largely increase the num-
Der of cups per tree as compared with
the average Of boxes. The returns
from such trees prove that there Is q
distinct limit to the sap surface which
can be removed without weakening
the vitality Of the tree and lessenine
the flow of resin. The practice Of over.
cupping results, therefore, in imam
cial loss.
In addition to the Increased returns
from the use Of cups, the naval stores
industry has been benefited In two
other lines by the development Of the
cup system. In many cases timber
owners have made decided concessions
in their leases to operators on condi'
ton that the cups be used and no boxes
cut. In other instances large tracts OF
timber have been brought under tur
pentine operation by the cup system
though their owners have persistently
refused to lease them for box cutting
Turpentine Timber More Valuable.
The rapid rise in the value Of turpen
tine timber within the past few year.
has contributed largely to its more
conservative treatment. A thing Of
little value in the past, 1t has received
only small amount Of care. Its rapid
enhancement in value and the prob
ability of still further increase CIV
the turpentine operator every reason
to treat his timber carefully. Former
~ 1t was an easy matter for an oper
ator to work hastily through a place
then move short distance and de
velop a new place on timber just al
inexpensive as that on which he hat
been working, but now the operato
knows that when his present location
is exhausted he is certain to expert
ence difficulty in finding new loca
ton, and equally certain that a large
" increased price must be paid for II
This natural operation of the law o
supply and demand Is rapidly bring
ing serious and earnest thought to tn
question of how best to preserve tn
present holdings. The cup and quite
system, with its great economies, i
doing much to solve the problem.

GOVERNMENT LIGHT.
HISTORIC cHtc<AMAUcA PARK
A5LAZE WITH ILL MlNATloN.

United States system If TiehfiUv Mfil-
tary Post Pronounced GraHfyipeIy
succesHfuI-six and One-Halg Miles
OF Mains Sixty Five street Lights.
Chickamauga Park. Ga, May 31.-The
United States Government has here
in operation one of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world The mil
itary post MT the entrance oi the his
torical Chickamauga battlefield, where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle of September 10 and 20. 1863,
contains about one hundred buildings,
the seventy-five principal ones Of which
are lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles of
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-fve street lamps
brilliantly illuminate the avenues Of
the post.
In 1908 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were so
gratifying and the superiority of the
illuminant so evident that the Govern
ment, March 90 1904, placed the con-
tract for the Chickamauga plant, in
which every citizen Of the United States
should have his pro rata of pride.
But the Government has not confined
its acceptance of acetylene to this mill
tary post. Since becoming satisfied of
the efficiency, superiority and econom-
ical advantages of this particular il
luminant, the United States has in
stalled number of plants in Indian
schools and other Government insti-
tutions.
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as well as the most perfect of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact of
water and carbide Ia manufactured
product for sale at a nominal price,, is
absolutely safe and gives a beautiful
white light soothing to the eyes and
nerves. 1t can be produced anywhere
lin the farm home, the village store,
the town hall, the church-and is so
easily maintained as to be practical for
all classes.
1t is a matter for national congratu-
lation that in identifying so historic
spot as Chickamauga, nothing but the
best, including the lighting system, has
been deemed good enough for the
American people.

Records of the ancient city Geor-
eeans founded in 1640, better known
at the present time as York Harbor,
Me-, contain many quaint and unusual
stories of the early life Of the town.
At the entrance to York Harbor a
bold promontory, known as Stage
Neck, extends some distance into the
sea, from which formerly in stormy
weather a temporary light, in the
form Of lantern hoistsd upon an up
right pole, was displayed as a warn
ing to mariners.
One dark winter night sloop was
wrecked on these rocks. A survivor
on being questioned about the catas'
trophe, said:
"The vessel struck, turned over on
her side, and the skipper rolled over
board"
The local Coroner was summoned
and this somewhat startling verdict
was returned
1--WE find that the deceased fell
from the masthead and was killed;
he rolled overheard and was
drowned; he foated ashore and froze
to death, and the rats ate him up

WEALTHY Men in Colorado.

David Moffatt, of Denver, Is the
wealthiest man in Colorado, which
outranks all other States in per-capita
wealth. Colorado has the further dis
tinction that most of its vast fortunes
were made within its boundaries, not
alone in mining, but in the cattle in
dustry, in realty speculation, in fruit,
sugar-bset culture, potato farming
and in manufacturing and other mer-
camille pursuits. There are 1O8 resi-
dent millionaires in Colorado, their to-
tai wealth being $3.50, 100000. Mr.. Moi

Just discrimination in Railway Rates.

just determination in Railway Rates.
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way
are likely to agree with President Sam
uel Spencer Of the Southern Railway,
when he says. There is no division of
opinion as to the desirability of stop
ping all secret or unjustly discFlmina-
tory devices and practices of whatso-
ever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking of unjust
ly discriminatory" rates and devices,
makes q distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have to
deal. To abolish such open and honest
discrimination might paralyze the in
dustres of cities, States and whole sec
tons of our national territory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions Of the Inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday;
Tariffs should be based on commercial
principles, taking into account the special
conditions which bear upon the commercial
value of the services rendered. With the
reservation that rates shall BIO charged with
out arbitrary discrimination TO all shippers
alike under like conditions, the making of
rates should as tar as possible have all the
elasticity necessary TO permit the develop
ment Of the traffic and to produce the great
est results to the public and to the railroads
themselves"
Tie present proposal is, as Mr.. Walk
er d. Hines, of Louisville, showed in
his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalize flexible and
Justly discriminatory rates into fixed
Government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention of
some Government tribunal, and by this
very process TO increase the tempta-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
