WOOD PRESERVATION MAKES PRO-
GRESS IN NORTHWEST

The practice OF wood preservation
is spreading 80 rapidly throughout
the Northwest, that the state of
Washington alone, now uses ap-
proximately 100000 gallons of
coal tar creosote per annum, for this
purpose.
The growth of timber preserva-
ton in Washington has been most
phenomenal. Twelve years ago,
there were only one fourth of a
million gallons of creosote used for
the purpose of interceptfng the raw
ages of teredos, or ship worms, and
wood destroying fungi. To-day,
however, most of the piles used in
the docks upon Puget Sound are
treated with creosote to prevent de-
struction by teredos. Unireated
Douglas fir piling is destroyed by
teredos in from six months to two
years time, but if properly inject
ed with creosote, piles will last
twenty years or more.
Railroads and traction campanies
have joined in the good work, and
are treating their cross ties with
this oil to prevent early decay.
Douglas fir railroad ties, untreated.
must be replaced every five or six
years, but when properly treated
with creosote, they may be expect
ed to last eighteen years. City en-
gineers no longer think of putting
in wood-block pavement unless the
blocks have been carefully injected
with preventative.
The value of this work in wood
preservation can not be over-esti-
mated, for it means a saving O
thousands of dollars for the people
who use large quantities of material
and prolonging of the life of theI
country's rapidly diminishing tim
Der supply. Because of the i'm
portance of the work, the govern
ment through the United States
Forest Service is doing everything
IN its power to show the economic
advantages of treating timber, in
order that its practice will continue
to grow as it has in the past.
