PROLONGING THE LIFE OF MINE
TIMBERS,

PROLONGING THE LIFE OF NINE
TIMBERS.
The cost of every ton of anthracite
is increased eight cents by the ex-
pensc of the mine timbers. To sup
ply these timbers requires each year
the product Of approximately 10000
acres of forest. Timber is used for
cross-ties for tramroads in the main
haulage ways, as wooden rollers. and
as props. A set" Of gangway tim
Der consists of two legs, commonly .
or 10 feet long and averaging about
Is inches in diameter, and collar,
6 to 7 feet long. These sets are
placed on an average at intervals OF
5 feet; one gangway frequently con-
tains 1000 sets; and 10 gangways to
a colliery is not an unusual number.
The average life Of the timber is
hardly above two years. Forty-tive
per cent of the timbers are destroyed
by decay, while brcakage, wear, and
insects destroy the remainder. BY
peeling the timbers and properly
seasoning them, and especially by
giving them q treatment in oils or
chemical salts, their length OF service
is materially increased.
In an industry where the cost OF
timber is 80 large an item it is inn
portant to know what method OF pre-
servativc treatment will give the
greatest service at the least expense.
To determine this, experiments were
conducted in the seasoning and treat
ing of mine timbers, principally pine,
oak and chestnut. The last two
woods were investigated largely to
determine their suitability for plant
ing in the anthracite region as n
source of supply Of mine timbers.
The results show that peeled timber
is superior in durability to unpceled
timber, and if it is peeled and sea-
soned for from two to four months
in the woods there is an additional
saving in freight and in yard room at
the mines. Peeling costs from 10 to
Is cents per set. With cresote at 8
cents gallon, mine props can be
treated with brush at cost OF 81
cents a cubic foot, or 40 cents per
set. If timber checks, however,
an opening is made through the por-
ton protected by creosote, and decay
sets in. By the use of closed cylind-
ers very thorough treatment is Sc
cured, but at an average cost OF be-
tween So and 81 per set of mine tim
bers. A method Of treatment less
expensive than by the closed cylind-
crs, and yet which secures pcnetra-
ton of crcosote adequate to meet
most conditions, rs by the open tank.
By this method the cost is about 50. IS
per set.
The conditions which render the
life of mine timbers so short, and the
experiments in p:eling, seasoning,
and treating with creosote, carboline-
UNI, and zinc CHORD, are described
in Circular III, of the Forest Service,
just issued. This publication will be
sent upon application to the Forester,
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. C. The conditions which
cause early decay Of timber in an
thracite mines are common in other
mines, and the results of these ex-
pcriments apply, in general, to the
treatment of timber for underground
use in all parts OF the country.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFRoN OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

vENOA WIN NE1NoAATAN SOAsAsAs~SA ~A'~~~>'~'
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 9TH.
The Secretary of Commerce and
Labor has sent to various boards OF
trade, chambers of commerce, and
similar organizations, an invitation
10 send representatives to a meeting
to be held in Washington next month
to consider ways and means whereby
that department may be made OF
greater usefulness to the business in
tcrests of the country. 1t is general
~ conceded that the move is one
which should meet with the support
Of the business men of the country.
Officials at the Treasury Depart
ment express the belief that the
financial situation has cleared up
greatly and that the serious stage of
the money stringency has passed.
Senator Hepburn of Idaho, visited
the President Thursday and COM
planned that the Treasury Depart
ment was not handling the financial
situation properly because New York
was being favored at the expense OF
the west, and he urged the President
to direct that no more money be de-
posted in the New York banks until
those institutions shall have paid in
currency" the reserves which they
hold for the Western banks. The
President asked the Senator to put
his request in writing and Mr.. Hey
burn laid the following note before
the President:
In behalf of the people OF the
Western States, and especially those
of the Northwestern States, l would
urge that no further deposits OF mon
ey from the Treasury of the United
States be made in New York banks,
except upon the condition that such
hanks shall Immediately make avail
able in money to the banks in such
western States the full amount Of the
reserves held by such New York
banks on account of such Western
banks.
1.-THE tying up of many millions
of dollars of Western money, repre-
senting the reserves of the Western
banks held by New York banks, must
inevitably result in empowering the
New York banks to determine the
time and conditions of free resume
OF banking functions by the Western
banks, whereas if the reserves OF the
Western banks could be converted in
to available money at once, the finan-
cial situation of the West would be
free from domination on the part of
the East, and the West would become
a valuable ally Of the East in the
restoration OF desirable financial con-
ditions, rather than remain, as at
present, a fellow sufferer"
More than ordinary interest is felt
in military circles as to the fate of
the suggestion of a transfer of the
Coast Artillery from the War to the
Navy Department. The details OF a
bill to be submitted to Congress are
now being worked out. Secretary
Taft has not committed himself to
the new programme further than to
authorize the preparation of the bill.

to a vociferous encore.

program, a Hoop Drill, given
by the maidens of the tribe, DR..
Robertson came forward, and in
a neat little talk, complimented
the assembly present on the good

them proved most interesting
and instructive, they were, on

eyes, a great many in the large
audiences, which nightly throng-
ed the auditorium, expressing
relief when the entertainment
was over.

Sunday Banner Day

Sunday was the banner day at
Chautauqua in the point of at
tendance. A conservative estim-
ate would give the number of
people at 1000. A great many
witnessed dress parade at the
adjacent camp grounds of the
militia in the evening.
In the morning a sermon was
given by the Rev. Johannes
Haarvei, pastor of the Lutheran
Evangelical church of this city.
1t was delivered with impassion-
ed oratory, and was listened to
with great attention by the large
congregation. An address by
the Hon. A. B. Guptill of Alaska,
was given at $3.50 in the after
noon. Mr.. Guptill took as his
topic, "The liberalization of
Good and Evil" which was ham
died in a mastery manner.
The famous First Regiment
band from Lisbon came over to
the grounds from camp imme-
diately after dress parade, and
played a short concert in the
auditorium. They had a large
and enthusiastic audience, the
large seating capacity of the
house being completely taken up.
The playing of the musicians
was much enjoyed, and it was
really worth enthusing over. The
musicians, who numbered thirty
two, played with unison and
expression that was delightful.
Especially was this true in the
selection from "Maritana,' u
which was we'll received.
The Robertson moving pic
lures were then shown, scenes
from the life of Christ being de-
! picted.
The crowd from the city was
so large, that after the entertain.
ment it was found necessary to
run four extra trains between
Chautauqua and the city. On
the 1870 afternoon train SOC
people went down to the grounds
all the rolling stock of the road
being called into service. The
trains ran all day without a mis-
hap of any sort, -.

For years he has been tolerat-
ing a system whereby his wheat
has been weighed, graded and
inspected by a purchaser hum
dreds of miles away. Why is it
that annually there are twice as
many bushels of higher grade
grain taken out of the elevators
than that which goes in? 1t is
because, the speaker maintained,
the grain is mixed by the pros
pective purchaser. The grain
also, is locked about S pounds
to the bushel, because of a few
undeveloped kernels and weeds.
These kernels and weeds are
then bundled and sold back to
the farmer for COW fodder.
The remedy for this evil is
simple. Remove the cause for
dishonesty and it will no longer
prevail" Let the wheat be in
spected by corps of govern
ment experts who have no per-
sonal interests in the inspection.
The farming community of
North Dakota, he said, loses
more than 100000 bushels of
wheat annually by improper
weighing and grading.
The time is ripe for organized
labor to fix the price on every
bushel of grain brought into the
elevator. The senator traced
the development of organized
labor's progress since it's incep-
ton Is years ago. It will fur
Their progress, he said, and will
reach perfection when the
daughter of the laborer will sit
side by side with the daughter
of the employer.
He elected loud applause when
he said that if manufacturers in
combination can hold the strings
of the purse, the farmer in COM
bination can hold the strings of
the flour sack. If 81 worth of
labor and material should pro-
duce So hat, why should not
81 worth of material and labor
produce So wheat?
, The speaker was in favor of
organizing a Farmers Protec-
tive Association. 1t should be
non-political and unsocialistic in
every form. What the farmer
needs is equal opportunity, and
his thrift and economy will per-
form the rest.
The speaker closed by saying
that when this move was con-
summated, then indeed would
the morn of the day of justice,
long delayed, burst forth efful-
gently over the farming COM
munity.

Closes With ChiIdren'S Day

The closing day of the Fiji
teenth Assembly of the North
Dakota Chautauqua, was given
over to the children. AS on the
preceding day, the forenoon
was taken up with races and
athletic events. Feathers and
medals for the successful COM
|pletion of games and nature
studies throughout the session
were awarded, and many a little
lad and lassie were made happy
thereby.
In the evening, before a large
audience, the closing exercises
were given, and very pretty and
delightfully."- well rendered they
were, too. Under the direction
of Miss Lillian E. T. Gilman, dir
ector and Chief Medicine Wo-
man of the Black Bear Tribe,
which name the children have
borne throughout their course of
study at the Chautauqua, the
boys and girls Went through the
movements of intricate drills
and games in a skillful manner,
which elected much applause,
and could not help but reflect
great credit on their instructor.
A grand march and salute was
the first number on the program,
participated in by the entire
class. This was followed by free
hand work, also given by the
members of the Black Bear
Tribe. Miss Clinton, a talented
Ielocutionist, then appeared and
gave a selection which was ably
rendered. At the conclusion she
was the recipient of a hearty en-
core. The Little Braves and
Maidens next gave a Sunbonnet
and Brownie Drill, the young
sters being bewitchingly array
ed in blue sunbonnets and
Brownie caps. Carl Robertson,
son of the genial stage director,
exhibited a few Athletic stunts
which were TRULY marvellous for
one so young, which was follow
led by a dumb bell drill by the
maidens of the tribe. A pretty
game, rabbit in the Hollow"
was participated in by the small
er boys and girls, which was fol-
lowed by a "Topsy- Turvy Song"
by eight girls. This proved very
laughable to the audience. The
girls then gave an Indian club
exercise, which was, one of the
best numbers on the program.
In perfect unison and in time
with the music diI the girls
swing their clubs, and their rem
dition would have reflected cred
it on many a gymnasium, where
the pupils indulge in these exer-
cises daily the year round.
