past just west of the city. Then 1t
veered suddenly, and blowing from due
north came down with all its fury.
The storm was not tornado and there
was no funnel shaped cloud, only a
straight but immensely powerful blow.

Every wire went down at the first
onslaught of the storm and the clouds
making everything black as night, left
the city in absolute darkness All

Packing Company was damaged to the
extent of $4,000. The loss was prin-
cipally in ono of the warehouses,
where a large amount of recently pur-
chased supplies had been stored This
building was unroofed and the torrents
of rain descending upon the contents
completely ruined them.

Special to Tines Republican.
Ames, June 22.-The forestry depart
ment of the Iowa State College has
completed an equipment for treating
fence posts with creosote. BY this
treatment ordinary soft wood posts
which commonly last from four to five
years can be made to last fifteen or
twenty. A common ten-cent post when
treated will last as long as four I'M
treated ones. The treatment thus eff
fects a saving of one hundred per cent
The department will treat several
thousand posts for neighboring farmers
to demonstrate the value of the meth
cd.
The creosote method of preserving
wood is the result of long series OF
painstaking experiments conducted by
the United States Forest Service. The
scarcity of the better grades of lum
Der is becoming more apparent every
year. This is especially true of fence
posts. telegraph poles and railroad ties
Rut while the better grades of wood
and high priced, there is still an abund-
ance of the cheaper varieties of soft
wood, such as willow, cottonwood and
catalpa.
1t takes at least 100 years to grow a
thirty foot telegraph pole. and the life
of such pole is only about fifteen
years,
In order to maintain the supply 1t
would be necessary to have thirteen
trees growing for every pole that is in
use. The creosote treatment will not
only increase the life of such poles
three and even four times, but it will
also make possible the substitution OF
the quicker growing and cheaper varie-
ties. e|reF
The method Of treatment is so sim
pie that any farmer, or anyone else
having lumber to treat can readily ar
range to do the work FOR himself. The
only apparatus required is an iron
tank of convenient size so arranged
that a fire can be built under it, and
smaller tank without the fireplace.
The timber is first thoroughly sea-
soned and then immersed in the hot
creosote for. about six hours. The air
the wood are driven out to large ex-
tent by this process and the preserva-
tive works its way in. At the end Of
the six hours the posts are quickly
transferred to the cold creosote bath.
The sudden change of temperature
causes the contraction of the air re-
naming in the wood and the creation
