THE HUMBLE RAILROAD TIE.
II l. an important Factor In Devcl-
opmcnt OF the Country.

That the humble railroad tie is a
most important factor in the mater
ial development of the country is n
great truth that is little understood
by people outside OF railroad circleL
The puffing engine that speeds al the
rate OF q mile or moro n minute
over the country is a slave to the
two steel rails that insure smooth
and safe road, and these rails In turn
depend on the old-fashioned wooden
cross-tie which holds them in place
Yankee invention has not yet
found a substitute which has induc-
ed the railroads to give up wood, al
though experts say that the day will
| surely come when the country's for
ests will no longer be called upon TO
! supply the demand for ties, Up to
the present time II seems that no
| other material has been found which
has the resistency of wood ana
which at the same time causes less
| " ear and tear on the rails, fasten-
| ings, and roadbed.
The country's railroads during
the last two or three years used ITO
900, 900 to 150,000,00O OF sawed
and hewn ties q year, The ideal tie
| timber IL white oak, which combines
| The qualities OF durability, hardness,
strength, and close grain. 1t Is not
only excellent for ties, but Is VIDE
J ~ used in ship building, for general
| construction, In cooperage III Tue
manufacture Of carriages, FOR ngri-
cultural implements interior hnish
OF houses. and for furniture. on nc
| count OF this wide use, the supply
has been forced TO pay almost prom
| bltive prices for ties, or to substi-
tute Other and cheaper woods TO re-
place the white oak ties rapidly dis
| appearing from their lines
over 40 per cent Of the ties recent
| ~ purchased by the railroads OF the
country are oak, according to latest
statistics OF United states forest SER
| vice. Cross-ties OF southern pine
formed somewhat less than 20 per
cent. Douglas Ar ties ranked third,
with approximately 10 per cent OF
the total Naturally the proportion OF
these two timbers will Increase M the
supply OF oak dwindles. This IL also
true OF cedar, chestnut, cypress
western pine, tamarack, hemlock
land other trees which are coming
into the market as tie timbers'
| Cedar, which Ia very durable, has
been extensively used to take the
place OF white oak for ties, but II Is
so soft that II IL readily cut by the
rails This necessitates the use OF
tie plates and other protective deyi'
cee when cedar ties are used. A. the

GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT
Drillmcn Establish n New Record
r. in Tunnel Driving.

III LINING
Spokane. Wash. Feb 23.--World's
records in tunnel driving were cs-
tablished and one OF the greatest en-
gineering feats of the century was
successfully completed when drill
men In Idaho and Motana, working
on the Chicago, Milwaukee and Pu-
get Sound railway company's bore
In the Bitter Root mountains at tart,
Mont, shook hands at the ends OF a
crowbar. The tunnel. 1851 feet in
length, "a feet three inches In
height and is feet six inches across
the floor, lacked only 1900 Of an
inch OF being In true alignment,
while in level the two crews OF 10
men each, differed about 1-10O OF q
foot when the wall of rock between
the two states was pierced. The best
record was made in January, 1909
when 1856 feet was driven, the hg-
ures for November, 1908, being f3l
feet FIVE inches.
Work was started November g,
1905. but was abandoned by the
nrst contractor. Winston Brothers OF
Missoula, Mont, took charge April
I. 1907, pushing the work without
intermlssion. Drills were driven by
compressed air. Interest Increased
with the progress Of the bore ana
there was much good-natured rival
