Washington April 4.--(Special. .)-''Tim- Der thoroughly treated with proper pre- servatives will last almost indefinitely, says a government expert, who is an authority on wood preservation. "Engi- neers have known for years that this is true," he continues, but up to the present time, at least in America, com plicated and expensive plants have been necessary for the work and wood preser vation has often been too expensive an operation to allow treated timber to come into general use"
 Methods in wood preservation have un- dergone marked change in the last few years, however, and the work which a. few years ago was limited to a few ex- periments carried on in scattered parts of the United States has grown with such rapidity that wood preservation has become a business which figures most prominently in the industrial life of this country.
 Each year railroads are treating an in- creasing portion of their cross ties, mi- ners their mine props, farmers their fence posts and the men of many other indus tries are bringing preservatives into play to close the pores and prepare the tim Der they use to resist the fungi which cause decay.
 The work points the way to one of the chief means of the conservation of the nations forest resources. for as the length of the fife of timber is increased the drain upon the forests is lessened, and more wood made available for use.
 In nearly all localities in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific states Is found an abundant supply of certain kinds of tim Der which have only slight commer- cial importance. Engelmann spruce. lodgepole and other kinds of pine. as- pen and cottonwood are only partial list of the kinds of wood which are strong enough and abundant enough to win high value for construction purposes, were it not for one single defect which has prevented their general adoption. When exposed to the soil and weather they decay so rapidly that they have to be renewed too often to justify their use.
 Dead timber of lodgepole pine and otner species also is found in large tracts, but is sharply discriminated against by all constructing engineers and contractors As a matter of fact, the dead timber, provided 1t is sound, is just as good as green timber of the same species; and indeed in some ways. is even more val uable. For it is well known that thor

Der; and that many of the timbers which decay. most rapidly in the natural state are among the easiest and cheapest to treat. .Iany of the species mentioned above offer little resistance to the en- trance of the preservative. The principle of the method is to imInerse the thor oughly seasoned wood in hot bath of the liquid, leave 1t in for few hours and then either plunge it into cold bath of a preservative, or else run out the hot liquid from the treating tank and fill 1t up again with liquid of lower temperature. This requires only the sim plest kind of machinery, and the cost of operation Is so slight that even cheap timbers like fence posts and shingles can be treated by the average farmer Of small means.
 Although the forest service, by exten- sive experiments in all portions of the country, considers that the practicapility of the process has been conclusively proved. more or less difficulty has been encountered in inducing others to aoopt the process on commercial scale. Tn order to demonstrate beyond any doupt that the process is adapted to commerclal treatments the service has arranged 10 erect small treating plants-semi-com- nercal in size--on several of the national forests.

!
New York, April 16.--That John Arm
strong Chanler would give up his es-
tate here, valued at more than 81 ,000,-
600, rather than surrender and be re-
committed to Bloomingdale asylum,
from which he escaped seven years
ago, was asserted by his counsel in the
United States circuit court of appeals.
| The statement was made in the course
of argument in another step in the
fierce fight which Chanler is making to
| save himself being returned to Bloom
! ingdale. He also seeks to regain con,
troll of his New York estate, valued at
more than S1,00000O.
Judges Lacombe, Cox and Noyes
heard argument on Chambers appeal
from the denial of motion that he be
protected from seizure by the New
! York authorities. He wanted to come
| here to testify in his action to recover
control of his estate.
Cannot Avoid Arrest.
1t now is in the custody of Thomas
L. Sherman, who was appointed guard
ian of the estate after Chanler had
been sent to the asylum. from which
he escaped in 1900. Chanler had been
committed to Bloomingdale in 1897 on
petition by Lewis s. Chanler and
Winthrop A. Chanler. brothers, and A.
A. Carey, a cousin. Judge Hough re-
fused to protect him from such seizure
if he should return. He decided at once
to remain away and to carry his fight
to the upper court.
Chanler was represented in court by
William d. Reed. Joseph H. Choate,
Jr.. appeared for Sherman.
'In the eyes of the law" said Choate,
there is no difference between man
incarcerated in an asylum or peniten-
tiary and one who, has escaped there
from. Mr.. Chanler is in contempt Of
the decree Of the court committing him
to the asylum"
Free as a Bird Now.
There is all the difference in the
world" Judge Lacombe asserted. HE
is as free as bird in the air."
What do you suggest as Mr.. Chan
ler's remedy?" Judge Cox inquired.
HE should surrender himself to the
asylum authorities and be released on
a writ to testify" Choate responded.
what! And go back to Blooming
dale afterward?" Judge Cox inquired.
Yes"
"He will give up the money first"
Reed exclaimed.
Decision was reserved by the court.
Chanler. great-great-grandson Of the
first John Jacob Astor. formerly was
the husband of Amelie Rives. After he
escaped from Bloomingdale he went to
Philadelphia and spent several weeks
in sanitarium. Then he went to his
Virginia estate, Merry Hills. near Cob
ham. Resisting all efforts to get him
back to New York. he has remained
there.

DALLAS DEFEATS EUGENE
Wins Game of Basketball on Skates
bv a Score of 27 to 4 at COIOs-
scum Rink.

The Dallas skating team defeated
the five from Eugene in game OF
basketball on the home floor Saturday
night, by a score Of 27 to 4.
Although a hard game had been
expected, the visiting team proved to
he no match for the husky Dallas
aggregation, either in their playing
or in their skill on the roller skates,
and the victory was easily in the
hands of the home team from the first
minute Of play. The game was exceed
ipgly rough, and many fouls were
called on members Of both teams.
Dallas has received and accepted a
challenge from the Corvallis team,
which claims the state championship,
and the game will be played in this
city next Saturday night. Corvallis
defeated Eugene last Friday by a
score of 80 to 5, which fact indicates
thatthey will be nearly evenly matched
against the Dallas five, and that
the coming game will be fast and
closely contested.

Principal r. r. Hill, of the Dallas
Public School, reports that he has
secured the Dixie Jubilee Singers to

class entertainment offered by the
