ern California to Alaska, and shippers
are beginning to realize that cheap
preservative treatment for this class
OF material would secure a big saving
On the average, an untreated pile lasts
IN these waters not more than three
years.
A great deal of time and money has
been spent by individuals and corpora
tons in the effort to prolong the life
OF these timbers. Different styles OF
pile castings, made of copper, zinc.
cement and other materials, have
been constructed and patented, and at
the present time piles thus encased are
under observation in many localities.
Results will be watched with great
interest
In addition, a great deal of work
has been done in developing d preser.

ORIGINATING the pile with creosote or
dead oil of coal tar. When the piles
are open-grained, and the oil has been
OF a proper quality and has been cor
rectly injected, this plan has probably
given the best results. 1t is true that
great many piles treated with creo-
sote have been attacked by marine
borers and destroyed but in such
cases there is usually a good reason
to account for the failure. For in
stance, the use of timber of>such DEN
sity that the preservative cannot be
forced into it, the use OF green timber,
the lack of sufficient preventative, or
the Use of preservative of inferior
grade may prevent the treatment from
being completely successful.
Along the Pacific Coast. particularly
in California, large quantities of yellow
pine are found. This timber embodies
all or the characteristics of a good pile
timber, with the one exception of dur
ability. Western yellow pine is open
grained. and lends itself readily to a
successful preservative treatment with
creosote. There Is no good reason,
therefore, why this timber should not
replace Douglas fir wherever the yell

forest service along this and similar
lines can be obtained on request from

automobile. In the 1896 campaign he
had to make a hurried ride of twenty
four miles by carriage TO keep an ap.
pointment. This was out in the coun-
try districts of hiS own state of Ne
braska. The teams were changed
every four miles. They ran every step
of the distance and Bryan got to his
destination in time to satisfy his au-
dience.
Few better travellers can be found
than Mr. Bryan. He is good-natured
about the trials and troubles of train
riding. Local committees impose on
him by insisting on having MIN make
speeches that he is not scheduled TO
make. He generally accedes to their
wishes if it is at all practicable to do
so. His private secretary, Bob Rose,
kicks and protests that Mr.. Bryan
works too hard and let's himself be
imposed upon. Mr.. Bryan does not look
at it that way. II he is given a chance
to meet another audience he il glad
of the opportunity. He sleeps as we'll
on train as he does at home in bed.
Many time on mis- present trip he
has rejected the privilege of going
TO hotel to remain for the night in
favor of his bed in his private car

cars and the smoke one invariably
finds wherever he goes about train

coast is the undiscovered and undevel-
oped section of the United States. Sit

ideal for homes. Boating and surf
bathing is not surpassed elsewhere
The waters abound in both fresh and
salt water fish. The mortality is low
er than that of any other section OF
seaboard of the United States. The
richest soil is that which will pro-
duce the greatest net results, in lOca-
ton available to market.
"By the intensive system OF farm
ing, the sandy loans of the Gulf coast
produce not only the largest crops
grown, bat in addition vegetables and
fruits of a succulency and delicacy OF

Detroit, Oct. lit is peculiarly
proper to speak of Mr.. Bryan as run
ming for the presidency. BY the time
this campaign is over he will have
travelled the equivalent of more than
twice around the earth while in the
active quest of this office ThiE is
saying nothing of the large amount
of travelling he has done when not
actually under nomination for presi-
dent. much Of which travelling has
lad a political object
Probably Mr.. Bryan by election
day, will have covered hot less than
$1,000 miles by rail in his effort TO
get to the White House. This is, in
the three campaigns, of 1898, 1900 and
1908. This seems long road to
travel for any Office, especially if one
does not get it. In 1898 and 1900, it
is calculated Mr.. Bryan travelled on
trains about 10000 miles. Roughly
ne got over 10000 miles Of territory
in each campaign. This year he will
not travel as much as he did in 1888
or in 1900 but will probably have
about Is 900 miles to his credit.
Considering the way Mr.. Bryan has
scurried over the country campaign
ing, it is almost a marvel that he ha=
escaped without serious accident. Yet,
strange to say, he has not met with a
serious accident while on his stump
ing tours. Not merely has he escaped

was one of the most unpleasant and
trying Mr.. Bryan ever took. The
roads were filled with dust and the
pace was so swift serious accident
might easily have occurred
Probably even more dangerous
than the Rhode Island experience was
tne one in New York the other day,
when the Bryan party crossed the city
from the Grand Central Station to the
ferry at Twenty-third street. On its
way from Rochester to points in
Delaware. The chaffeurs struck a
brisk gait through the crowded
streets and many a collision was
escaped by the breadth of d hair. One
of the automobiles skidded and nearly
turned turtle. Mr.. Bryan was as little
concerned as any man in his retinue.
Still, Mr.. Bryan has had thrilling
rides that were not by rail and not by

THE GREAT SCHEME OF
A GULF COAST CANAL
New Orleans Picayune.


Now that the interest in waterway
commerce has been aroused, one OF
the interesting problems in that con-
nection is the proposition to establish
an Interior coaStwise canal from the
waters of Massachusetts Bay to the
mouth of the Rio Grande in Tex.
The entire Atlantic coast of the
United States is low and alluvial, pene-
trated by great numbers of bays,
estuaries and other inletS. Some OF
these have already been connected by
navigable canals, and in other local.
ties such canals are already under
construction, so that in a few years
it will be possible for vessels of mod
crate draft to make such an inside
coastwise passage. from Boston to
now being urged shall be completed,
there will be canal across the PENN
sula of Florida, and thence along the
gulf coasts of Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi. Louisiana and Texas. Once
secure the cutting across FLORIDA, and
the rest of the work will be both SIM
pie and cheap.
A writer on the subject sets forth
that "the Gulf coast inland waterway
with the Atlantic inland waterway will
form an artery OF traffic longer than
the Mississippi and missouri rivers
combined. -
pennsylvania coal and iron and the
supplies and manufactured articles OF
the East will be transported to the
gulf ports. The grain of the Missis-
sippi valley, southern cotton, sugar,
rice, timber and naval stores will be
returned to the Atlantic seaports on
barges at one-seventh the cost and in
less time than by rail. IN time OF
war, supplies, munition and troops
can be drawn from the interior by
water and rail, and safely transported
along our coasts by inland coastal
water navigation.

will be extended along the Atlantic TO
the Great Lakes and north of their
present sources, at sea level. The
rivers of the Atlantic coast will find
their mouths in the warm waters or
