age life of an untreated arborvitae
pole is IL years and its cost set
in the line 50, the carbolineum brush
treatment would have to add only
one year and the creosote brush
treatment only four months to the
life of a pole in order to pay for
the additional expense.
By means of the "open tank"
treatment with creosote a greater ad-
ditional length of service can be Sc
cured so that this method is advisa-
BILE wherever quantities of poles are
being prepared for use. The equip
ment consists of a sheet iron tank
about feet long. feet wide, and
s feet deep, equipped with steam
coils or fireplace beneath. A small
derrick, or ''gin pole" may be used
to hoist and lower the poles into the
tank. The poles should be immersed
a feet in the creosote. heated to
about 220 degrees F., and kept there
for about six hours. The heat can
then be shut off and the oil allowed
to cool. Several poles can be treated
at once, and the cost will be from 81
to $1.50 per pole.
Circular 1876 of the Forest Service
gives a description of experiments in
seasoning and treating arborvitae
poles in the upper peninsula of Mich
igan, together with tabulation and
discussion of the results. This pub
lication can be had upon application
to the Forester at Washington.

Before the experiment, which was
made by Judge Jesse Fell in his tav-
ern in Wikes-Barre and Eastern
Turnpike now Northampton street,
anthracite coal was held as being of
little value, for it was thought that
it would not burn except under fore
ed draft. Although there were mil
lions of tons of it lying about and
under the Wyoming, Lackawanna,
Leigh and Schuylllill regions, little of
it was used for this reason, even the
blacksmiths claiming that when once
ignited it would not burn unless the
bellows were kept continually in op-
Grafton. Judge Jesse Fell did not
believe this, and disproving it in
burning the anthracite coal in an
open CRATE he opened the way to an
industry which now gives employ
ment to 16S,000 men, who produce
7O.000,000 tons of anthracite coal
annually. and which has given mil
lions of dollars in royalties to the
owners of the lands, and made them
the social leaders in the communities
of which Wilkes-Barre and Scranton
are the centres.
The experiment of Judge Fell is
thus described in an old magazine:
st was bitterly cold winter
night, with hard wind blowing, and
there was a fine draught up the chin
ney. 1t was not long before the
stones glowed in the iron crate and
gave forth comfortable heat. News
of the experiment quickly spread and
people built CRATES in their homes
and dug in the outcroppings for the
new fuel and its value was recognized
and in very short time it began to
be an article of trade"
That was on February IL, 1908.
Before that time there were some ad-
venturous spirits who tried to make
the black stone burn, but had given
up the efforts in despair. 1t is there
fore, to Judge Jesse Fell, of the old
Fell Tavern, of Wilkes-Barre, that
the American people owe their
knowledge of the uses of anthracite
and also true that to him Provi-
dence Baer, of the Reading, owes his
fortune and his fame.

INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT SAVING The POLES
Immense Demand For Telegraph and
Telephone Poles Gives Rise to
Many Vital Problems Regard
ing Forests.

The immense demand for tele-
graph and telephone poles is one of
the heavy drains upon the forests.
The cost of maintaining lines is high
and it is getting to be more and
more practice to give poles some
sort of preservative treatment in
order to check decay and get the
fullest service out of them. Arb
orvitae, or northern white cedar, is
well suited for the production of
poles. 1t grows naturally in suita-
BILE form and is strong, light in
weight and durable. In fact it com
bines the qualities most demanded,
very we'll.
Unfortunately arborvitae is not
very plentiful and it grows so slowly
that it takes a couple of centuries for
it to reach serviceable size. In the
last dozen years its price has risen
$50 per cent. There are the best of
reasons, therefore. for using the pres
ent supply as carefully as possible
Our great-great-grand children will
have come and gone before the seeds
now sprouting will be trees ready
to cut.
Arborvitae poles are now most cas-
lily cut and hauled in late fall and
winter. When spring comes they are
ready for seasoning which is done
with most advantage during spring
and early summer. If peeled and
arranged for drying in a single lay
err, they will be ready for treat
ment in June.
A fairly good treatment with eth
er creosote or carbolineum can be
given by applying the oils warm with
brush. Two coats of carbolineum
can be applied for a distance of six
feet, beginning two feet from the
butt, or 4 5 cents per pole. A similar
treatment with creosote can be Civ
en- for IL cents. Since the aver

said that his wife must go to a warm

came the doctor told Mike one Satur-
day evening after all of his weeks
wages had been spent that his wife
positively must be sent "to a warmer
climate without delay"
Mike left the room for a few min

1t is entirely natural that there
should be dismay in the democratic
camp over the news that the republi-
can party purposes to undertake next
winter the revision of the tariff. The
lowering of the Dingley schedules has
been the one practical plank with
which the democrats hoped to appeal
to the country. And now they are be-
reft of that. Moreover, every think
ing revisionist, even in the democratic
party, must vote the republican ticket
if he is true to his convictions. He
must realize that even if there were
elected democratic president and a
democratic house the senate would re-
main hopelessly republican for at
least another administration, and that
under such circumstances any tariff
measure would result only in a dead
lock. If he really wants tariff reVi-
sion, therefore, he must vote for a
republican president and a republi-
can congressman.

TAFT AND HUGHES,

1t is not unnatural for the Repub-
licans of New York to wish to pre-
sent Gov. Hughes to the country as
that states choice for president of
the United States; at the same time,
the drift toward Secretary Taft is so
strong in all parts of the country
that Gov. Hughes friends can scarce
ly hope to make much Roadway.
The mind of the country seems to
be pretty well made up, so far as the
republican nomination is concerned,
/ and nothing short of a profound po-
litical upheaval can keep the nomina-
tion from going to the secretary of
war
There are few absolutely certain
| things, to be sure, in politics; but it
seems to be reasonably certain at
this time that New York Republicans
are swimming against the tide IN
| their effort to overcome Taft senti-
ment by offering Hughes to the coun-
| try.
The republicans of the country
seem to be fairly well decided on this
issue. For some time there has been
but one opinion with respect to Pres
ldent Roosevelt's successor, and that
opinion has been, and still is, that the
| mantel should fall to the Ohioan.
| Indeed, Mr.. Taft is the logical sue
cessor. He is more in sympathy with
the presidents policies, and has stood
closer, perhaps, to his administra-
ton than any other republican leader
in the country. Except for a certa in
judicial poise, and an element of sane,
well-tempered conservatism inhering
in the nature of the man, William
Howard Taft will be very much like
Theodore Roosevelt in the White
House, and the people of the country
know it, and are for him because
they do not wish to see any reversal

1t is reported that in their de-
spair over the tariff situation the
democrats purpose to adopt some
sort of prohibition plank with the
hope of absorbing the prohibition
party, as they absorbed the populist
party in 1895. Considering the
acute indigestion which Miss Democ-
racy has suffered ever since she
swallowed the Pops" we should
suppose she would be chary of
adopting a diet to which democrats
are as unaccustomed as they are to
prohibition.
