to relieve the tie situation for the
whole Hartman system, says the
Omaha Bee. The demand for ties at
present for new construction and to
replace annually the ties which be-
come decayed is enormous, and, as the
supply of good ties is running short,
Mr.. Hartman realizes something must
be done to supply ties in the future.
Big Tie Plant Here.
A tie preserving plant S maintained
by the Union Pacific at Laramie, where
all ties used by the Union Pacific are
put through a creosoting process which
prolongs the life of a tie several times
its natural existence. Little has been
done toward organizing the depart

in the field for the last year and a half
looking over the territory to find a suit
able place to buy and lay aside as a
reserve where trees may be planted
for future use.
Vice President Considering.
Judge Cornish, vice president, now
has the matter under consideration.
While they may have enough timber
on the reserves now for immediate use,
still the future must be considered.
The idea is to have immense forest
ranges, where suitable trees will be
planted to insure the future supply.
