five AUSTRIANS
ROB COUNTRl|YMEiN
MAKE EARLY MORNING VISIT TO
GuTHRIE's GRADING CAMP.

as Word has reached the sheriff's Of
fee in this city that 1--WE Austrians
held up a party Of their countrymen
at Guthrie's grading camp near Laurel,
early Monday morning and secured q
small amount Of money. Owing to the
fact that the victims cannot identity
the robbers or even give a description
Of them, it is difficult for the sherif's
ONCE to get any clue as to their iden.
tity.
Monday noon the Au~strians notified
Deputy Sheriff Burla Of Laurel, that
they had been robbed, but beyond the
mere announcement that they had
been touched" they did not volunteer
any information and the deputy was
unable to find out anything nor about
the robbery. -la.s ~
Mr., Burla notified Sheriff Webb Of
the robbery Monday afternoon, but
the news Of 1t was withheld from the
public until yesterday when all hope
Of apprehending the perpetrators was
abandoned.

ALARM IS EXPRESSED
American Railway Engineers Speak Of
Danger to Forests from the emand.
sor Ties-sueeest Establishment Of
Tie Forests by Roads.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Chicago, March 17.--One of the
most important reports presented to
the convention Of the American Rail-
way Engineering and Maintenance of
Way association, opened here today,
was that Of the subcommittee on the
future policy Of the railroads in ref
erence to the tie supply. It is de-
clared that the demand for ties has
now reached a point where 1t threat
ems to utterly denude the forests of
America. In part, the report says:
"The number Of ties used annually
for renewal and construction purposes
by American railway companies has
been steadily on the increase for. q
number OF years, and this increase
has been going on at such a rapid rate
that during the last year some 49,
100000 ties, more or less, were used
for renewal alone. This enormous
number Of ties represents a serious
drain upon the forest Of the
country. a.
Warnings Given.
Attention has been called to the de-
creasing supply Of standing timber by
numerous writer's for some Is years or
more, and especially SO during the
last five years. Warnings have been
issued from. time to time, calling at
tention to the fact that unless some.
thing were done the railroads would
be confronted sooner or later with a
serious problem as to where they
were going to get a supply Of ties,
while these warnings have been
increasing in insistence, very little,
II any, heed has been paid them. This
has probably been the case not be.
cause the railroad companies did not
realize that there was a rapidly de
creasing supply Of timber available
for tie purposes, but issdue to the fact
that in spite Of the decreasing sup
ply little difficulty has until recently
been experienced by any company in
getting the requisite number Of ties al
fairly reasonable prices.
Tie Prices Rise.
During the last year or two, how
ever, this condition has changed very
materially. Prices Of ties have gone
up with startling rapidity and, II
many instances, it has been almost i'm
possible to obtain b esnecessary mum
Der Of ties Of certain kinds Of WOOD
and Of certain quality, even wher,
the highest prices we're paid fol
them"
As a remedy for this condition, tn,
committee suggests a more economi
cal use OF the timber now being uset
for the purposes, the establishment .
forests by the different railroad com
panies for growing new trees, and tn,
Importation Of ties from abroad.
Leading railroad officials from al
over the United States, Canada an,
Mexico are in attendance at the meet
ing, which will last three days. III,
sessions are being held at the Aud
torium hotel.
