STEEL TIES
NOT A SUCCESS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O,-Enei-
heers OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
company reporting upon experiments
made by the company in the use Of
steel ties in place of wooden ties re-
Gently recommended that the expert
ments be discontinued for the reason
that they had failed to prove steel a
satisfactory substitute. For a number
OF years all sorts of efforts have been
made to use steel and concrete in Mace
of wood for ties, because the renewal
or wooden ties is such an enormous
expense. So far most of these efforts
nave failed, and there seems no nres-
ent prospect that wooden ties are to
be supplanted.
Inc results Of the Pennsylvania ex-
pertinent are especially significant. be-
cause this road uses such a vast nun-
Der of ties and because it's failure RI
achieve success with steel will very
materially tend to discourage further
experiments along similar lines else
where.
Far more promising is the work I'M
dertaken not only by the Pennsylvania
but by other roads, notably the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe and the Del
aware and Hudson, with a view to
outstanding and increasing the wooden
tie supply by the ownership and man.
agement of forest lands ProIonging
the life of wooden ties by preserva-
tlVes which is now we'll past the ex-
perimental stage, is another practical
Die means of economy in the use of
ties. The life of tie in service may
De doubled, even trebled, by treatment

ment and, best of all, the cheaper
woods which decay quickly In their
natural state, are the very ones which
give the best results from treatment.
such woods are comparatively porous.
so that the fluid used readily pene-
trates the tie, changing a wood that
would quickly rot into one which will
wear almost as long as the costly
white oak.
AT the best however, there is no
escaping the eternal drain on the for
est. All attempts to escape shortage

" to show that the products of the
forest are indispensable.

New York, N. X. Oct. 80. The

that great American staples: Wheat,

ing the season OF the year when the

The immediate effect of these ship
ments IS to give the United States
credit abroad that can be speedily
converted into cash. These natural
resources Of the country promise to
exert even greater influence than the
