VIII Use Pine Tics Hereafter.

All the redwood ties on the Harri-
man lines throughout the southwest
are to be replaced with pine, because
the former are succumbing to dry rot
and redwood is becoming too expen-
sive, says San Francisco dispatch.
The Southern Pacific has stacked in
its Los Angeles yards 80 acres of
pine ties, the piles averaging 15 feet
in height, with streets and alleys be-
tween the blocks like a city, and is
adding train load after train load to
the accumulation, which, the COM
pany officials say, is the largest in
the world. Every week shiploads
from the north are discharged at San
Francisco, brought here to dry out
with other millions and soon will be
rushed out where needed. After q
long series of experiments the COM
pany chemist found that soaking pine
ties in a solution of oxide of zinc pre-
vents inroads by insects.

Pendleton, Sept. 24.-(To the Edi-

last night when most of the citizens
were asleep in their beds there was a
strange scene enacted in the vicin-
ity of the o. r. G. n. depot. The
barking of a dog first aroused the
writer's curiosity and he decided to
investigate.
Slipping quietly along the street he
approached the corner of the Hotel
Bowman and upon craning his neck
about three feet around the corner
discovered several of the local lodge
of Elks grouped together holding a
very serious conflab. This seemed
strange and so he decided to await
further developments.

Garden street and drove over to the
side of a train standing on the side
track.
Although it was bright moonlight
objects could not be clearly seen from
the corner of the hotel, so the dar-

and attempted to make his way down
toward the building occupied by
Laatz brothers, where he could OBJ

on.
Crawling on all fours he had pro-

he was pounced on by about half a
dozen, among whom he recognized
Paul Sperry. Clark Nelson, w. A.
Brown, L. G. Frazier and Thomas
Thompson. He was roughly seized
and bound and a blindfold fastened
over his eyes and then carried down
to the round house and laid along
side the east wall and from this po-
sition was unable to make out exact
ly what was going on, but from tha
talk and the peculiar noises that
once in while broke the stiffness of
the quiet night there must have been
wonderful things in that car.
Enough was learned to convince
the writer that the car of curiosities
for the Elks' parade had arrived and
was being unloaded, but what they
were or where they came from he
was unable to determine. After half
dozen trips back and forth with the
express wagons one of them was
used to transport the writer to the
gulch north of town, where he was
united and the blindfold taken off
and was told in no uncertain Ian.
