Before the first Pilgrim stubbed his toe on
Plymouth Rock, before Sir Walter Raleigh

feature of the educational system of a wealthy
and intelligent republic Not only is classical
education given at the Peruvian capital but one
finds also a school of mines and civil engineer
ing, national agricultural school and a school
of arts and trades
All these get the benefit OF being near the
governmental collections, just as students at
the George Washington University live and

shared by no university outside Of the national
capital

Castro has been largely responsible for that. In

Venezuela continues from year to year to train

vast country Although the Venezuelan Repub-

FIGHTING AGAINST
RETURN TO COLORADO

Milwaukee, Wis, July ia feature of
the hearing today before Commissioner
BloOdgood in the case of the Milwaukee
men indicted by the federal grand jury
in Colorado for conspiracy to defraud the
government out of valuable coal lands,
was the proving that Guy D. Golf is not
a fugitive from justice, necessary for
mality in order to permit him to plead
the statute Of limitations. Mr.. Golf
swore that he had never been in Colo

The question at issue argued by the at
tcrneys for the defense is, Does the
statute of limitations begin to run from
the first or last overt act?'
The defendants. hold that it begins with
the first, and they are fighting the at

do so. they are saving the trees instead
of hewing them, and SO lesseEing the
waste.
In order to make the best use OF what
they have, railroads are treating ties with
chemicals to increase their life in SER
vice. Several years-with some kinds of
wood as much as twenty years-are thus
added to the life of the tie. Inferior
woods are the very ones which best take
such treatment.
The railroads, in some cases, are going
still further. They are purchasing tracts
whose timber will come into market after
awhile for ties. Some Of the tranSporta-
ton companies are planting trees in large
numbers, anticipating needs many years
hence. The Pennsylvania railroad and
the Delaware & Ht-iS01 railway have
toreSters employed to work out the prob
lem of tie supply to the best advantage.
A satisfactory substitute for the wooden
tie has not been found, and probably will
not be found. Railroads understand that
the supply must grow and that its growth
requires many years.

REFUSED TO QUASH
TWO INDICTMENTS

San Francisco July 16.-Judge Dunno
oveTTuled the motion to set aside indict-
ments in two of the bribery charges
against SchmitZ and continued the plea
of Abe Reuf in the Parkside cases for one
week this morning.
The motions to set aside were based on
the same grounds as had already been
heard by Judge Dunno in the Halsey mat
ter. The indictments referred to the ac-
ceptance of money by Schmitz from the
telephone company and the United rail-
roads. Immediately after the ruling At
torney Drew filed demurrers Special
Prosecutor Cobb was for arguing the de-
murrer at this time, but Drew said ne
would be unable to collect his authorities
before tomorrow, Judge Dunno then set
the hearing as requested by Drew.

RAILWAYS FACE
TIE SHORTAGE
Can No Longer Have Choice of
the Best, but Must Take
What They Can Get.
GREAT QUANTITY NEEDED
TIE MAKERS No LONGER WASTE
TREE TOPS.
(snecial to The Heraldl

Washington, July 16.-The forest service
gives the following information concern
ing the supply of cross-tie timber for rail-
ways:
The railroads Of the country are face
to face with the problem of lumber sup
ply for cross-ties. They can no longer
have choice of the best, but must take
what is to be had. 1t is not so much
question of price as of absolute shortage
in the best grade.
In 1906 the railroads of the country pur-
chased 103, 900 ties. Since each tie
contains, on the average, 80 board feet,
or enough to make a plank 80 feet long,
one foot wide and one inch thick, this
number of ties equals over 3,0O0OOO,OO
board feet, or One-twelfth of all saw
timber produced in the year.
Nearly one-half of the ties were oak,
one-fifth were southern yellow pine, and
the rest were cedar, cypress, redwood,
tamarack, hemlOck, western yellow pine,
and other woods which until recently
were seldom used for ties, because they
were considered inferior or were hard to
get.
Oak Nearly Exhausted.
Oak, which still supplies almost half
the demand, formerly supplied nearly all.
The rapid extension of railroads calls for
tie timber every year. while every year
the forests are less able to furnish the
required oak.
White oak has always been regarded
by railroads as ideal tie material. 1t re-
sists decay, holds spikes firmly, and, al
though perhaps higher in price, it is an
economical wood for ties when it can be
had, because it lasts longer than cheaper
timber, so that the cost of relaying is
less
But the time has come when the enor-
nous demand for oak can not be met.
Wide use and excessive waste have
brought about this state of affairs. Rail-
roads we're extravagant and tie makers
were wasteful. The forests were skinned
of the very trees that should have been
left to grow to large size and become
much more valuable for other Uses. In
stead of cutting mature trees, which if
left would not greatly increase in size
or value, the tie industry demanded and
took the young growing trees. thus not
only wasting the present forest but
greatly reducing the immediate prospect
i've supply. This was poor economy, and
the railroads and the country generally
are feeling the consequences.
No Longer Particular.
The railroads, though still able to pro
cure enough ties of some kind, see a
shortage in the future and are taking
steps TO meet it. They are using all tim
Der that can be made to answer
The tie makers, being in immediate
touch with the scarcity of trees, ara now
cutting more closely, and are using cops.
which were formerly left TO rot or burn
