Strength Tests Of Timber at the
Mil.

/
How THE FOREST SERVICE Has BROUGHT
THE TESTING MACHINE TO A SOUTH
/ CAROLINA SAwMILL.
The Forest Service has been conducting
xtensive tests at the Z. p. Burton Lumber
Company's saw mill, near Charleston, 8. G.
to determine the strength Of loblolly pine.
This timber, which is known on the local
market ~ North Carolina pine, forms the
greater part OF the lumber cut ct this mill.
The lobloly pine furnishes . useful con-
struction timber Of moderate strength, ID
of very rapid growth, and reproduces read
lily. For these reasons 1t viii remain one
Of she most important timber trees Of the
South. Correct data on Ito strength will
be Of permanent value.
tis found much more convenient to take
the testing machine to the mill instead Of
bringing the large sticks Of timber to the
laboratory from the mill. The conditions
to which the stick OF timber ID subjected
after being cut Ia the forest determine to
some degree bow 1t will act when put In
use where II will have to carry load or
ear . strain. And 90 1t sometimes becomes
sn important matter to know the history
OF the sticks tested. The logs from which
t. 10 desired TO cut the test pieces can be
selected In the forest, marked, and subse-
quently identified at the log pond. A con-
ci,e history OF each log 10 kept, showing
he location Of the tree 10 the forest, the
kind Of soil In which 1t grew, the time Of
cutting, and The length Of time the log lies
In the water. On arriving At the mill The
log 10 sawed In any way desired, and can
then either be tested shortly after coming
from the saw or laid aside for the purpose
OF ar drying or kiln drying before testing.
Every step Of importance in the life Of the
log after cutting 10 thus known and many
peculiaritIes which arises In the behavior
of sticks when tested can DO explained.
The testing machine IN set up In the mill
and driven by the mill machinery. The
sawyer In the mill Jaws exactly the biz d
OF sticks desired, and the pisces intended
for test are sent directly TO the testing
machine.
The plan Of work st Charleston included
Investigations to determine the effects OF
krots on the strength Of timber; the rela-
tive strength Of sir-dried and kilD-dried
timber the effect Of rate Of growth upon
the strength; the II nuerce OF the relative
strength Of zap and heart wood; and the
Influence on The strength Of the method OF
saving.
Judging from the Inquiries received In

man before the people at the pres

The voters of Colorado, espc-
cially those who adhere to the
Roosevelt ideas of public service
and remedial legislation, have been
clamoring for big, broad:gauged
clean and aggressive man for gov
ernor of this growing state. The
fair-minded, intelligent and tax
paying property holders have been
worried for months for fear a pro-
fessional politician or office hunter
would be nominated as represent
ing certain Interests in business or
factions in the party. This fear
was fully dispelled when Henry A..
Buchtel. chancellor of the Univer-

tues he is scholarly man with

questions and fully equipped with

Chancellor Buchtel, while re-
former, is not a fanatic. He is just
the kind of man that is wanted
in public office. Now that the peo-
pie have his consent to make the
race, a pleasant, satisfied smile Is
spread over the face of the entire

firm man he is not a fanatical
crank with absurd fancies and ex-
periments to put into operation.

has been called upon to regulate
the entire universe nor to at once

Cincinnati. Oct. 2O.-Rev. John
F.. Harper, pastor of the Carmel
Presbyterian church at % Elm
street, the only colored congrega-
tion of that denomination in Ohio,
was refused a seat at the Presby-
terian Brotherhood's banquet at
the Business Mems Club.
Rev. Mr.. Harper was not cogni-
zant of the fact that the color line
is stictly drawn at the Business
Mems Club, and the non-atten-
dance of colored men at any func-
ton given under the auspices of
the club or with its sanction is
embodied in one of the rules of
that organization. 1t was the
club, Therefore, that informed Mr..
Harper, through an Intermediary,
that his presence was not desired.
Mr.. Harper is member of the
brotherhood and was among the
first to purchase seat at the ban
quet table. He arrived quite late,
and while entering the door of the
banquet hall he was asked to wait
a minute. With visibly embar-
rased air Rev. DR.. Watson, of the
Second Presbyterian Church
emerged from the dining hall and
spoke few earnest words to Mr..
Harper. Mr.. Watson informed
him of the existence of the rule
and told him that the banquet was
not open to him, and expressed his
great sorrow over what he termed
a regretable incident.
Mr.. Harper accepted the matter
in a good natured spirit and left
the club rooms. A few OF the
brotherhood were aware of the sit
uation and a few fully expressed
themselves. One minister, who is
at the head of one of the largest
churches in the city, said:
1T is hard to believe that such
an unpleasant affair could occur in
the Republican North, where ev-
ery mans conduct and department
is not judgment by his color. Mr.
Harper is brilliant man of many
intellectual attainments. He is
polished and deep theologian, a
member of the Cincinnati Presby-
terian Brotherhood, and OF the ac-
ton of the club, to say at least, is
in my opinion, an insult to the
brotherhood. Mr.. Harper is not
unused to his embarrassing pre-
dicament of tonight. | have been
