New Industries Make Traffic Hum

JOBBERs HAVE A NEW FIELD

Fifteen locomotives are now required to
handle the heavy switching pushes
Of the Missouri Pacific In Omaha
on the Belt Line, which circles
the city from the Webster street
station to South Omaha. In spite Of this
large battery OF engines the company is
almost facing a blockade from the enor-
nous business which is transacted. This
business comes from an increase in tom
mage of the company IN and out Of Omaha,
and also from the many new industries and
lumber and coal yards which are being
located on the Belt Line.
During the last year or tive the number
OF industries along the line have been
doubled and some O. the new concerns are
of big proportions, notably the Updike
Lumber and Coal company and the Dietz
Lumber company. which has just bought
a large stretch of trackage near Forty
first and Lake streets.
The Missouri Pacific IS now doing a
larger business in and out of Omaha than
it did a year ago, and this in spite of the
fact that not much grain is moving. Grain
is slow in starting for the reason that
the farmers are aking advantage of the
fine weather to gather their corn. and also
because the south has a good crop of grain
of its own and is not needing any Of the
surplus Of the north at this time. The in
crease is in other lines, especially general
merchandise.
When the financial furry struck this
country a year ago the Missouri Pacific
closed down many of its shops, notably on
these divisions. and as a consequence the
rolling stock is in a bad way and II Is with
difficulty the Missouri Pacific is handling
the business which is being given to it.
Announcement was made last week. how
ever, that the shops at Sedalia and other
points would be opened on full time and
the equipment would be put in condition as
rapidly as possible. That this is needed is
shown by the difficulty many of the trains
have in getting over the line. especially
when the business is heavy. as it now Is.
The Missouri Pacific has twelve miles Of
main line track in the city OF Omaha. be-
sides several miles more Of switching tracks
and the fifteen engines and the numerous
switching crews have all they can do to
keep the business moving. 1t is no uncom-
mon occurrence to see four engines with
lines of freight cars behind them, trying
to move around the Y at Forty-sixth and
Farnam streets. Should the business in
crease as 1t has recently the Missouri Pa
cific will have to either double track its
line In many places or do something to
relieve the congestion.

The tax rolls for 1907 are now in
the hands Of the county treasurer oil
Chelan county.
The assessed valuation of the coun-
ty, real and personal property, amounts
to 4,o85, 1881, bringing in taxes to the
amount Of $204,516.89.
The consolidated state and county
tax amounts to "a mills.
The Great Northern railway company
pays $50, 1851 in taxes on their real
property, and $11,772.24 on their per
sonal property, this being about one
fourth Of the entire tax of the county.
The county commissioners have also
ordered the assessors to take the CEN
sus next year. The census taken two
years ago showed the county to have
a population Of 10,059 people, this
raising Chelan county to the l7th
class, and it is thought that new CEN
sus will raise the county to a much
higher class.

John [. Sullivan on the Panic

1T makes me tired to hear folks
talking about the financial situation.
Half of the people who stand around
talking about 'stringency' and 'situa-
ton and such like other things only
do it because they like the sound of
the words. Half of them never heard
of the word 'stringency' before and
they think it's smart to be heard talkin'
about it. I think I've been knockin'
around this world long enough to
know hard times when I see 'em, and
I want to tell you, young Teller, there
amt nothin' to it. It's just case of
a few robbers down in Wall street tryin'
to hog all the money and fallin' down
in the attempt. That's all there is to
this stringency' bunc. Then there's
bunch of sorehead fellers that thought
they'd take rap at my friend, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and bit off more'n they
could chew. There's man for your
money or any honest man's-that same
Roosevelt. Pm a democrat-born in
Boston-but Pm for Roosevelt. He
amt afraid of them Wall Street guys,
and when he says the people are going
to get square deal the people are 60
ing to get it, see2 This country is all
right. The people are prosperous and
happy"

MAKE POSTS MORE DURABLE
Wood Given Sixteen Years Additional
Service by PreSeVatiVe
Treatment

Fence posts Of many kinds Of cheap
woods which ordinarily would soon de-
cay If set in the ground can be made
to last for twenty years by simple
treatment with creosote. Most OF the
so-called inferior" woods are well
adapted to the treatment, and this is
especially true of cottonwood, aspen,
willow, sycamore, low-grade pines, and
some of the gums. When properly
treated, these woods outlast untreated
cedar and oak, which are becoming too
scarce and too much in demand for
other uses to allow of their meeting the
demand for fence posts.
Impregnation with creosote has been
greatly cheapened by the introduction
of the open tank" which can be in
stalled at cost of from $50 to $45, or
much less if an old boiler is used. A
tank with a bottom II square feet in
area will suffice for treating 40 or SO
6-inch posts day, or double this num-
Der when two runs per day can be
made. The absorption of creosote per
post is about as follows: Eucalyptus,
one-tenth gallon; willow, two-tenths
gallon; sassafras, ash, hickory, red oak,
water oak, elm and maple, four-tenths
gallon; Douglas fir, quaking aspen and
black walnut, six-tenths gallon; syca-
more, cottonwood and lodgepole pine,
seven-tenths gallon. The price of Gre
osote is about 10 cents per gallon in
the East and middle West, 16 cents
per gallon on the Pacific Coast, and 81
cents in the Rocky Mountain states.
The cost of treating post will there
fore vary from to IS cents. Properly
treated it should give service for at
least 20 years.
Experiments of the Forest Service
show that with preservative treatment
the durability Of lodgepole pine in Ida
no is increased sixteen years. The cost
OF creosote is there relatively high, yet
by treating posts there is saving, with
interest at 6 per cent, of Q cents per
post yearly. More important than the
saving, however, is the fact that thru
preservative treatment other woods are
fitted to take the place of cedar, Of
which the supply is rapidly becoming
exhausted. A detailed description Of
experiments in preserving fence posts,
together with practical suggestions for
treating them on a commercial scale,
are contained in Circular III of the
Forest Service. This publication can
be obtained upon application to the
Forester at Washington.
