LOSSES BY MARINE BORERS
ON THE PACIFIC COAST,

Marine wood borers, which attack
piling and other timbers placed in salt
water, are causing the engineers in
charge Of the construction of marine
works on the Pacific coast much con-
Germ. They are particularly destruc-
tive along the coast from Southern
California to Alaska, and shippers are
beginning to realize that cheap pre-
sentative treatment for this class of
material would secure big saving.
On the average, an untreated pile lasts
in these waters not more than three
years.
great deal of time and money has
been spent by individuals and corpora
lions in the effort to prolong the life
of these timbers. Different styles OF
pile castings, made of "copper" zinc, &C.
ment and other materials, have con-
structed and patented, and at the pres
ent time piles thus encased are under
observation in many localities. Re-
suits will be watched with great inter-
est.
In addition, great deal OF work has
been done in developing preservative
treatment to prevent the attack Of the
borers. This consists In impregnatine
the pile with creosote or dead oil OF
coal tar. When the piles are open
grained, and the oil has been of pro-
per quality and has been correctly In

ected, this plan has probably given

jected, this plan has probably given
the best results. 1t is true that a
great many piles treated with creosote
have been attacked by marine borers
and destroyed, but in such cases there
is usually a good reason to account
for the failure. For instance, the use
of timber of such density that the pre-
servative cannot be forced into it, the
use of green timber, the lack of suffi-
cient preservative, or the use of pre-
sentative Of inferior grade may pre-
vent the treatment from being COM
pletely successful.
Along the Pacific coast, particularly
in California, large quantities of yell
low pine are found. This timber en-
bodies all of the characteristics of a
good pile timber, with the one eXcep-
ton of durability. Western yellow pine
is open-grained, and lends itself read
lily to successful preservative treat
ment with creosote. There is no good
reason therefore, why this timber
should not be used to replace
Douglas fir wherever the yellow pine
can be ATTAINED at reasonable cost.
Details of the work of the forest SER
vice along this and similar lines can
be obtained on request from the for
ester, at Washington.

had been previously determined upon
There was no slate except that made
| by the delegates, and their preference
| OF Hamer to French, was not in the
| light of rejection of the work ac-
complished by the present representa-
| tive, for he made a splendid record AS
a young man, he has been signally hon
| ored by three elections. The present
| candidate is not unknown, and his
| qualifications have been more than
| once demonstrated. Col Hamer has
| proven himself soldier with ability to
| command, and an orator who pleases
and holds the attention of his audi
ences. He also possesses the principles
| OF craftsmanship which, when given
the opportunity to develop, will more
than meet the requirements of state
which is forging ahead into the fore
most ranks of the American sister
hood.
AS justice of the supreme court the
continuance of Judge Ailshie was I'M
questioned by the members of the con-
vention, which indicates the pervad-
ing opinion of the people throughout
Idaho. Therequirements of Judge are
peculiar in their nature, and, at the
helm Of the state tribunal, he has
evinced a justice and efficiency which
should insure his reelection
l.. H. Sweetzer, candidate for lieu
entant governor, during the time in
which he served in the legislature
from Cassia county, created regard
| for his executive ability, and the nam
ing Of d. G. McDougal as the nominee
for attorney general was in every as
pect as happy one. Twice he has
been Oneida's county attorney and he
accomplished more in that Office than
any of his predecessors. He was pre-
scented to the convention two years
ago, but failed to receive the nominal
ton. Although his candidacy this year
was not announced until just before
the convention, he had for some time
been considered a desirable POSSIBLE
ity.
S. B. Taylor of Bonner, who is Sc
lected for the position of state auditor,
an old newspaper man of Idaho, was
Influential in much of the legislation
of the last term, and is generally con-
coded to be well qualified for the Of
flee to which he has been nominated.
AS candidate for mine inspector,
the convention determined upon one of
the most competent engineers in the
state, if not the entire west F. G.
Moore has been in the employ of the
Federal Mining company, and although
comparatively young man, his repu-
talon in mining circles has risen to
meet the most exacting demands for
the capacity in which he will serve.
The high standard of accomplish
ment attained by Miss Belle Chamber
lain as superintendent of public in
structiOn admits of no question. That
| her work as one of the foremost wo-
| man educators in this country will be
approved, is scarcely clouded with
doubt.
| In all, the ticket which will bear
the Republican nomenclature is the
cleanest, best balanced and best pro-
! portioned that has been presented to
| the state, and displays most sharp
| contrast to the slate of the Democratic
party which has been rendered hap
hazard and indefinite by factional dis
pute.

GOV. BRADY IN THE NORTH.

Governor" Brady has been making
some excellent speeches since he open
ed his campaign in North Idaho. He
lays no claim to great oratorical abil
ity, but is plain, forceful speaker,
who impresses his audiences with sin
cerity. Moreover, he has positive views
on public questions which he ex-
presses clearly and fearlessly, holding
attention and interest from start to
finish.
Mr.. Bradys speeches are typical of
the man. His clear comprehension of
the issues of the campaign shows an
analytical mind, coupled with an abil-
ity to express himself tersely and with
out circumlocation. 1t is this straight
forward manner of the Republican
candidate that has brought him into
prominence in business and politics
alike. He is man who does things
and has record for accomplishment
that is a source of pride to his friends
and satisfaction to himself
The Advance supports Mr.. Brady
for what he has done for the state and
for himself since he came to Idaho He
has put his whole energy into indus
tries and enterprises that have count
ed for public veal and state develop
ment.-Pocatello Advance, Sept 29.

O'NEILL CONFIDENT.
Republicans Lining Up for Sake Of
Party in Good Shape.

Now that the excitement of conven-
ton week has subsidized and the dele
gates have returned to their respec-
tive localities, an almost universal
spirit of satisfaction and enthusiasm
for the state ticket adopted by the Re-
publicans at Rose is prevalent. A
smoldering fire of contentment seems
to fill the minds Of the party members
which will find expression when the
campaign fans it into flame within the
next two months.
Those candidates whose nominations
were assured before and resulted at
the convention, were in the fullest
sense the selection of the individual
party members throughout the state
and were not, as is sometimes the
case, fosted on them by a few bosses
For long time the public had given
them careful consideration, and the &C
ton of the delegates was merely the
vOicing of it's conclusion.
The expectation of Senator Hey

his record of invaluable service to the
state and his demonstrated capabili-
ties as a statesman of the highest type

ture was the nomination by acclama-
ton Of James H. Brady for governor
His advancement Of the interests OF
the state have been of different but
not less effective character in the pro.
motion of it's resources which before
he breathed life into them lay practi-
cally dorment. Combined with this ex.

ership shown as chairman of the state
central committee and his high stand.

the state, and his pleasing personally
and large acquaintance, If nothing
more, would commend him, but, more
than this, he is a captain worthy Of
