MILLIONS OF CROSS-TIE

than 100000 cross-ties. costing. at the
point Of purchase. over SIS. 0oo, 900, an
average of nifty cents per tie. according
to statistics just made public by the
bureau of census in cooperation with
the United States forest service This
WAS some 4oooo,ooo ties less than the
quantity purchased in 1907. when the
total was approximately l53. 700. Geo. the
Highest ever recorded. The decrea scd
purchases in 1903. were, Of course, chief
ly due to the business depression which
forced most Of the roads to purchase
only the ties which were absolutely es-
rential for renewals, and heavily cut
down the purchase for new track. In
1905 only 743l.0nO cross-ties were report
ed as purchased for new track as~ssainst
22,'17.ooo in 1907 OF the total number OF
ties purchased for all purposes, the
steam roads took approximately ninety
four per cent, leaving six per cent. for
the electric roads.
1t Is very interesting to note the wide
ionge OF woods used for cross-ties. The
preliminary report by the census bu-
i'du Hsts separately nIteen classes or
species. OF these the oaks are now and
have always been by far the most i'm

more than 100000. or forty three per

Krauss. dean of the medical depart

that he had failed to furnish her with

charge of the movement to induce the
legislature to establish a state nor
NAL and training school for teachers,
to be brought up for action at the
approaching session, will not ask the
lawmakers to designate the site of the
new institution, and they sincerely
hope that no fight will develop on
this feature until after the legislature
has made adequate appropriation and
designated the mode of governing the
school.
The same attitude is taken by the
advocates Of state charity hospital
The all-impotrant thing, in their opin-
ion, is to first secure legislative au-
thority, and afterward determine the
question of site.
The history of former fights in the
legislature in behalf of educational
and elementary institutions conclu-
sively shows that If the claims of the
various cities and towns of the state
are injected all hope of securing ia
vorable legislative action might as
we'll be abandoned. It is to be hoped,
therefore, that Jackson, Vicksburg.
Meridian, Hattiesburg and other
points that would like to secure the
two proposed institutions will hold
their ambition in allegiance until after
the legislature has made the appropri.
ations, as both bills will doubtless
leave the site question in the hands
of the boards of trustees.
Meridian is already in the field
with an offer to donate site for a
state hospital and if this offer is
urged upon the legislature other cites
may be reasonably expected to do like
wise, and thus tie up the lawmakers
with a community fight and defeat
all prospects of getting the appropri-
alton through.
