RUMOR DENIED
ENGINEERS SAY THAT THEY
HAVE MADE NO COUNTER.
PROPOSITION TO RAILROAD
COMPANY.

Members Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers are somewhat
agitated over the rumor published
In this mornings Telegraph that
they had consented to a reduction
of wages contingent upon a similar
reduction higher up. They request
the Leader to say that they have
taken no such action, have not
agreed to a reduction under any cir
cumstances, and do not care how
many officials are created or how
much salaries they get so long as
the engineers get what they believe
is justly due them. AS a matter OF
fact, no official action has been
taken by the Brotherhood OF En-
gineers and there will be none for
several days. AS to what action will
probably be taken the members de-
cline to say.

MANAGING POSTS.
Easy Methods of Putting Them In or
Taking Them Out of the Ground.

Easy NIetnoQS OF PUTTING mem IN or
Taking Them Out of the Ground.
One of the farmers problems is how
to look after the many posts which he
has need Of in keeping up fences, etc.
While experiences differ, 1t is safe to
say that white cedar poles last longer
than any other kind White oak posts
are also good. 1t is said that posts put
into the ground tops downward will
outlast those that are set tops upward.
This is due, so it is surmised, TO the
fact that they absorb water from the
earth when they are set in the natural
position, but do not absorb it when
they are reversed.
If the end of a post is allowed to
soak in liquid tar or is treated with
creosote, it will last much longer than
it would ordinarily. When it is neces-
sary to draw a post out Of the ground,
1t may be accomplished with little diff

ficulty by the use of team. A chain
should be fastened about the stump,
allowing a good length to the chain.
The chain should be stout one, espe-
cially If large posts which are firmly
set are to be taken out. When stump
or posts are to be removed, spring is
the best time to do the work, as the
ground is then moist and the post
comes out more easily. Sometimes
when boundaries are to be moved,
fields changed in outline or new fences
erected a great many posts must be
removed in a very short time, and I'M
less some mechanical device were
adopted for fastening the work it
would take quite a long time.
OF the many post pullers now in use
perhaps the one here shown is the most
serviceable. 1t should be made Of an
old buggy axle or any other old piece
Of iron of about that size and used as
shown With this tool one man will
pull more posts In day than with any
other tool the writer ever heard Of,
and two men with two Of the tools can
easily remove the largest telephone or
telegraph poles.
Posts may be driven with speed and
economy on many farms If well sharp
ened and the right method is followed.
A real post driver is one of the most
easily made things and one of the most
useful that farmer can get up. Up
rights are bolted across to q sled, or
I'll INa
The standards may be twelve or fit
teen feet high. To them is bolted a
crossbar which supports the hoist for
the weight. For this a block Of iron or
lead weighing not less than twenty-five
pounds must be obtained, and it must
have a staple or ring in it so it may be
lifted. The post is placed where it is
to be driven and the weight lifted and
allowed to fall on 1t. A little practice
will enable one to drive posts in soil
that seems too hard. The rig is useful
also in putting down driven wells.
To drive a well an inch and quarter
pipe is preferred. The lengths should
not be over six feet. The first pipe to
be driven must have a point of iron or
steel. Any blacksmith who is an expert
at welding can readily make a point
solid in the end of the pipe and then
bore numerous quarter inch holes in it
for the first eighteen inches Of it's
length above the point. Before driving
a coupling must be screwed down tight
and fast on the thread that is to con-
meet it to its mate, so the thread may
not be injured; also on top Of this
coupling must always rest block of
lead or seasoned hickory to receive and
distribute the conclusion.
The pipe is driven the same as a
post, another length being attached as
fast as one is sunk in the ground. One
rule must never be forgotten-each
length of pipe must be threaded so long

kino John and McCarty.

During a session Of the territorial;
legislature Of Montana a measure wae
introduced which involved grave con
stitutional questions, as 1t seemed to
some. One orator acclaimed quite
fiercely against 1t. urging that it was
clearly in opposition to the great prin-
ciples of the Magma Charta which the
brave barons in days of old had wrest-
ed from King John. Another legislator
rose Immediately to reply, determined
to show that he for one was not to be
overwhelmed by high sounding words
or obscure illusions. Plunging at once
into his subject. he declared with much
vigor that it was time for the legisla-
tive bodies of Montana to think and
act for themselves without reference to
the opinions or principles of King John
and his man McCarty.
