GREAT SAVING BY
WOOD PRE- SERVATlON

Ogden, Utah, June 2S.-The inn
pregnation of wood with chemical
substance for the purpose of prevent
ing decay is not only successful the
oretically but it has also been proven
by practice that such treatment more
than doubles the life of timber and
thereby renders the proposition most
practically profitable.
| Although the advent of wood pres
ervation into commercial practice is
of recent date in the United States,
| in European countries the chemical
treatment of wood has been in gen.
eral practice for over a quarter of
century, and with most satisfactory
| results. So successful has it proven
that the installation of untreated
wood in any construction which will
| bring 1t into contact with the soil is
| the exception rather than the rule.
The use of preservative processes
| in the United States has been con-
! fined largely to the southern and
eastern portion, partly due to a more
rapid decay of timber on account Of
climatic conditions, partly to the fact
that in the older settled portions of
the United States the diminution of
the timber supply is more keenly felt,
making urgent the adoption of some
means to lessen the demand.
With the exception of the Trans
continental railway systems the pre-
servative treatment of wood is seld-
ON made use of in the intermounraIn
region. However, as the country be-
comes older and more settled indus
trlally the users of timber will feel
more free to make the additional in
veStment necessary.
The preservation of timber in use
III contact with the soil is question
OF intense interest to the man who
looks at the economical side. The
fact that railroad tie that costs six
ty cents untreated and has life of
from five to seven years, can, by
treating, be made to last from fifteen
10 twenty years at an additional cost
OF from forty to fifty cents with the
added saving of the cost of replacing
| the decayed tie, raises the proposition
from one of theory to one where dol.
lars and cents count. This saving is
as applicable to posts poles and mine
tlmbers as to ties. If the amount of
timber now used for these purposes
each year in the intermountain region
could be diminished by one-half nv
| doubling its life by the use of pre-
servatives the total saving in money
outlay alone would be enormous.
1t is for the purpose of bringing the
possibilities Of timber treatment to
the attention Of those using timber
that the Office Of products in the local
district office of the forest service at
Ogden is maintained. If by demon
stration the amount Of timber used
can be decreased by increasing its
life it is felt that as much service has
been rendered as to grow new forests.

COLD BLOODED
MURDER ON THE GlLA
Details of Crime Committed Out Of
Jealousy-Man and Woman
Arrested,

The Silver City Enterprise brings
the following details of murder
which occurred on the road to the
lower Gila in Grant county:
Jealousy over woman was the
cause of cold-blooded murder in Cot
tonwood canon on the road to the
| Lower Gila, about forty miles south
west of Silver City last Monday night
between ten and eleven o'clock. At
that time Manuel Terraces, the mur.
dered man and woman Guadaloupe
Yea, with whom he had been living
| for the last four years, were camped
near the spring in the canon. They
were on their way to the lower Gila
where Terraces was taking the Wom-
an to reside as he did not care to
have her live in Leopold with him.
where he was employed, owing to the
wiles of Alvino Davila, another suitor
of whom Terraces was jealous. Earlier
in the day it is alleged that Davila
was on his way back from the Lower
Gila, having gone there to get the
woman and bring her to Leopold to
live with him. Terraces hearing OF
Davila's intentions, started after Da
villa and met him and the woman on
their way back. According to the
wOman's story he made her get down
from the vehicle in which they were
riding, at the point of gun and ac
company him back to the Gila. They
started back, Terraces and the won
an, Davila going on to Leopold, pre-
sumably. However, between ten ant
eleven o'clock that night, according tc
the woman's testimony, Davila stole
upon them at their camp and without
warning shot Terraces down in colo
blood. He was shot twice, once
through the back of the head, the bul
let penetrating the brain and passing
out near the mouth and causing in
Simultaneous death, the other through
the lower part of the cheek and com
ing out on the other side. From the
nature of the wounds, the bullet was
IA or As caliber. The body of the
murdered man was not found until
Wednesday when a lad, the son of a
neighboring ranchman, discovered ii
on high bench of land above the
spring. He Immediately reported the
discovery and Deputy Sherig Telles
summoned coroner's jury which af-
ter viewing the remains rendered a
verdict of murder.
Telles started after the man and
woman and overlook them on their
way to Leopold and in company with
Sheriff McGrath who had been noti-
ned OF the murder by phone, brought
them to this city where they were
locked in the county Jail. They had
their preliminary hearing before JUS
tice Newcomb and were bound over
to the grand jury without bail. The
woman Is about 25 years Of age and
has daughter three years old by
Terraces.

POSE OF TRUNK
Leon Ling Made Futile Efforts to
Give Away Gruesome Receptacle
of Elsie's Remains.

New York, June 2S.-That Leon
Ling made attempts to dispose OF
the body of Elsie Sigel was discover
ed through further questioning OF
Chung Sin, his roommate, who told
of the murder Of the girl in Icons
room. 1t was that Leon had carried
the trunk containing the body over to
New York and attempted to leave it
with laundryman, friend who
would not receive it. He then went
to Newark in a taxicab, where he
tried to leave 1t with another friend,
but failed. After much wandering, he
brought the grewsome trunk back and
left 1t in his room where he found it
a week later.
Morbid Curiosity.
New York, June 2S.-Great crowds
were attracted to Chinatown and
its restaurants and other resorts
through the publicity given the murder
of Elsie Sigel and extra police have
been assigned to the district. It is
said that never before has the place
been so crowded and most of the call
ers are overhead discussing the Sigel
tragedy.
A Startling Theory.
New York, June 2S.-Failure to
find any trace of Leon Ling leads the
police to a new theory that Leon was
killed by the same hand that killed
Miss Sigel. 1t is further believed
that the body of Leon was placed In
a trunk and shipped away. This the
ory is strengthened by the story OF
a trunk shipped to Schenectady and
thence to Cleveland, where the police
lost trace Of it. This line of reason
ing throws out the evidence of Chung
Sin who told the story of seeing Leon
in room with the body of Elsie. The
police say if Leon Is dead, they have
one slayer and can lay hands on an
other in, five minutes.

An Auction Dissipation

Cousin Kate is a type of a large
percentage of faithful attendants at
local auction sales. She is a genuine
piunger who takes big chances and
likes the excitement of bidding for
something she doesn't want and GER
tainly doesn't need. 1t may be said
of her with perfect propriety that she
is going the pace Incidentally, she
is getting untold fun out of the ex-
perience and Tom is too good natured
to mind. Besides, he is a fairly ex-
pert auction sale plunger himself.
Plungers, 1 used to think, are born,
not made. I know better now. That
gaudy sofa cushion is an anomaly in
my severely ordered bachelor rooms.
My friends all offer their sympathy and
discretly ask who on earth made
me a present of that cushion; they
can't conceive that l was such an un-
mitigated ass as to pay good money
for 1t. Alas. 1 spent as cents-count
EN-, 45--for that cushion when labor
ing under the excitement that only
plungers know. 1 realized then, as
realize now, mat cuShlOn was the
last thing in the world 1 ought to
have; but the auctioneer seemed so
enthusiastic about the article that
snapped 1t up just because L was
afraid somebody else might get hold
of it. Goodness knows how many
other things--iricluding sewing ma
chimes and work baskets might
have snapped up in the same way and
under the influence of the same ex-
citement had it not been for the fact
that a deposit had to be paid on every
purchase Tuesday isn't my pay day.
At auction sales there are plungers

of the radical plungers. the sort who

that it is bad business to let any op-
