Treatment of Lumber.

Twenty billion feet of lumber in the south hith erto practically of no value can now be turned into the finest of hardwood and placed on the market by d new process of absorbing the water from it, then hermetically scaling the pores.
 Experiments made with tupelo gum and common field pine has demon strated the practicability of the pro cess. Capt. D. c. Purse of Savannah was in Atlanta Saturday and exhibited specimens of both the gum and pine treated. and it bears the appearance Of the finest hardwood. The gum is pol ished like mahogany, and no one could tell that it was not the real hardw ood. The pine is finished to look like fine oak.
 "You know that tupelo gum grows in abundance in swamps or low lands, said Captain Purse. Fifth erto it has been considered worthless. it is so filled with water. The Howard process places the gum boards in vacuum and subjects 1t to $50 degrees of heat sufficient to reduce the wood to powder if 1t was not vacuum. The heat is gradually reduced. and the board comes out with the pores sealed It Is a hardwood then, capable of taking any finish desired. and will last forever. Georgia has more of this wood than any other southern state. and the gov ernment estimates that there Is 20, . OO0. 900 900 feet of such timber in the south It will bring great wealth to the state. Companies will be organ ized at once all over the south, begin ming perhaps in Georgia. There can be no question about the practicable | ity of the plan."

ALL MUST PAY FARE OR WALK THE TIES New Georgia Law Will Cut Off
 Thousands of Passes DEADHEADS ARE NUMEROUS Reports to the Railroad Commission Show That the Order on Passes
 Will Add Greatly to Reve-
 nues of Roads.
DEADHEADS ARE NUMEROUS

Atlanta. December Specially When the anti-pass order of the rail- road commission goes into effect on January l. 1908. now only short time away, thousapds of passes will be cut off in Georgia, and the people who have for many years ridden free will have to put up real money if they travel.
 Passes are divided into four general classes: Passes to employees of the road passes to employees of other roads, express and telegra compa- nies; advertising, and complimentary. It will be only the last named class that will be effected to any extent, but that division covers an amazing percentage of the sum total of free transportation issued.
 Prior to the issuance of the anti pass order the railroad commission called on all of the roads to submit monthly reports on all transportation issued in the various classes. The first lists were submitted for September There were some pretty startling lHinBs III lloSe llsts, particularly the size of some of them The central's pass list for September covered about 6S closely typewriter pages. and Complimentary appeared after an un- usually large number of names.
 So far reports covering only two months-September and October---have been submitted but it is significant that the anti-pass order came on the strength of things revealed in those.
 No estimate can be made of the total value of free transportation issued in Georgia annually. but it would run into the hundreds of thousands of dol lars. It is said that the railroads do not look upon the withdrawal of pass privileges with dsfavor, but as a mat ter of fact are pleased with the idea When the Georgia legislature comes up to Atlanta next summer there will be corresponding rise in the passenger receipts of the roads. Passes will not go then.
