SEASONING TELEPHONE POLES.
The Government and the Companies Art
Both Experimenting.

The scarcity of timber suitable for tie
| phone and telegraph poles has of late
assumed serious proportions, says the
American Telephone Journal
| Latest reports of the census Office show
| that there were in operation in 1902 APP
proximately 100000 miles of pole line.
Subsequent additions. however, together
with certain railroad pole lines not re-
, ported would enlarge this figure.
1t is safe to assume that there are in
operation at present fully 100000 miles
of line. The average line contains about
forty poles mile, so that there are APP
proximately 100000 poles in use.
Assuming that the average life of a
pole is twelve years, it follows that for
the maintenance of the lines now in oper-
alton there are needed each year more
than 2,6JOOOO poles. Such an enormous
demand must soon deplete the available
supply. This is fully recognized by the
different companies.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, in cooperation with the
United States Forestry bureau, has been
carrying on elaborate experiments to de
termine the ucst means of prolonging the
life of poles.
These experiments show that seasoned
timber in contact with the ground will
outlast unseasoned, and that dry wood is
more receptive of preservative fluids than
green wood.
Experiment stations were established
at Dover, y. j., Thorndale Pa. Pisgah,
\. C.. and Wilmington, y. c. AS part
of the terms of cooperation the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph company
supplied Il fixed number of poles each
month.

FRAT REFORMS COMING
RADICAL ACTION is POSSIBLE AT
UNIVERSITY.
Exclusive Organizations Work Havoc
with Democratic Spirit, Say Au-
thorities at Madison.

MADISON. Wis, Oct. 12.-LSpecial. j
The big problem the faculty, aided by
large portions of the students, will cope
with this college year, is to make the
spirit of Greek letter societies more dem
ocratic. President Van Hise has pleaded
for a more general community OF inter
csts among all the students.
His remarks have stirred up an agita-
ton that may eradicate the evils Pre-
liminary steps will be taken when a
meeting of a committee of twelve, COM
posed of fraternity and non-fraternity
men. will meet at the Alpha Delta Phi
house to talk the matter over. This
committee will form the nucleus of a
larger organization later.
Most fraternity men recognize the
evils which the system, unless carefully
watched. is likely to breed. The chief
attack made upon the frats is the eX
clusiveness of the members The charges
are not altogether without foundation
Within the fraternity walls there is a
spirit of entire equality, democracy, and
fairness, hut towards outsiders there is
too often chilly Indifference that gives
rise to the charge of snobbishness. This
is not true of all, nor nearly all, frater-
nifty members, but it is. true of great
enough proportion to subject all to crit
icism.
The social distinctions that unques-
tionably go with the fraternity system is
another bone Of contcntion 1t is true
that the fraternitios control and almost

RABBIT SCALPS IN TRADE.
In Western Kansas They Are Exchanged
for Groceries

Did you ever hear of rabbit scalps be-
Ing rated as an article of commerce or
as a medium of exchange in the same
manner as eggs and butter? Out in Ire
go county, Kan, til e county seat of
which is Wakeeney, the merchants oay
five cents each for rabbit scalps, no mat
ter whether the unfortunate bunny
was full grown or not. w. j. Williams,
who is the proprietor of a grocery store
in Wakeeny, bought 2S4O scalps during
the months of March, April and May
this year. John Keraus, another mer-
chant of the same place, bought 200
scalps, while no merchant in the little
town paid for less than 30 Scalps.
The farmers and ranchmen bring rab-
bit scalps to the county stores along with
eggs and butter. The grocer accepts and
counts them with no more ado than 1t
they We're so many eggs.
\ few years ago Trego county, in the
hope of discriminating the troublesome
iackrabbits. decided to pay bounty of
five cents for rabbit scalps. the money to
be paid whenever the scalps were pre-
scented at the county treasurer's office.
Soon after men who had never before
been seen in Wakeeney came to the
court house with big sacks of scalps.
Finally the county commissioners grew
suspicious, and it eventually developed
that certain residents of neighboring
COS bounty law aud were bringing scalps
from MS far away as fifty miles
To discourage this practice the county
decided to allow payment for ScalpS not
more often than every three months.
Three months was a long time to wait.
The hunters became impatient at the
long delay. 1t remained for the mer-
chants to solve the difficulty. According
ly it was announced through the columns
of the weekly papers that rabbit scaps
would be taken at the grocery stores in
exchange for merchandise, provided the
owner of the scalps would give his word
that they were taken from rabbits killed
in Trego county.
The plan proved a success. Instead Of
the farmers making weekly trip to the
court house the merchants reported every
three months at the commissioners of
fee and the bills were allowed.
During the months of March, April
and May the total amount of bills allow
ed by the commissioners for rabbit scalpS
was &5GS. In other words Trego county
killed 1890 rabbits during the three
