Gossip and Matters Of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

The work of planting trees on the
Dieguito~ ranch in California will be
begun by the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway at once. It is plan
ned to plant several hundred acres
on this ranch, which was recently
purchased, this fall and winter.
This part of the project will be un-
der the direction of F. S. Hosp, who
has charge of all the Santa Fe's work
of this sort in Southern California, be-
ing a gardener and botanist of note.
The matter Of raising their own tie
timber has been studied by Santa Fe
officials for some time. in common
with railroad officials all over the
country The scarcity of tie timber
is becoming greater every year and
officials are now casting about in for
eign countries for ties in immense
quantities
The conclusion has been reached by
many railroad men that step must
be taken toward the growing of tie
timber in this country on a systematic
and extensive scale. The Santa Fe
officials are the first to act
For some weeks E. O. Faulkner,
manager of the tie and timber de-
partment of the Santa Fe system. has
been on the coast looking for land on
which to make the start With his
family he has been ostensibly taking
a summer outing at Long Beach, but
in fact, while members of his family
were enjoying themselves he was
looking for land. On the advice of
those familiar with conditions on the
coast. the San Dieguito ranch was de-
termined upon, it being admirably
adapted for the purpose. the San
Diego river running through the tract.
which, in its entirety is well watered.
Mr.. Faulkner has been making ex-
periments as to the kind of timber
that will be adapted for ties. timber
that can be grown in this section of
the country. and has found that four
varieties of gums are superior to all
others. Among these are the sugar
gum and the lemon scented gum. All
four varieties will be planted. Sew
eral hundred acres viii be planted
each year and it is estimated that in
from Is to 20 years every tree will
produce dozen or more ties, beside
other wood. It Is probable that other
tracts will be secured later for the
furth erance of the plan to grow tie
timber on an extensive scale

Feely has sued the Prairie Oil and
Gas company for s1.150 damages and
asked that the company be restrained
from maintaining dam which he as
serts is heavily damaging his farm.
Mr.. Feely owns farm Of 115 acres

that it be restrained from maintaining
the dam.
