PRESERVATION OF WOOD
The Government Aiding in an Important
and Necessary Work

The practice Of wood preservation is
spreading so rapidly throughout the
Northwest, that the state of Washing
ton, alone, now uses approximately
1000, 900 gallons Of coal tar creosote
per annum, for this purpose.
The growth of timber preservation in
Washington has been most phenomenal.
Twelve years ago, there were only one
fourth of million gallons Of creosote
used for the purpose Of intercepting
the ravages 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 destruction by
teredos. Untreated Douglas fir piling
is destroyed by teredos in from six
months to two years time, but if prop
erly injected with creosote, piles will
last twenty years or more.
Railroads and traction companies
have joined in the good work, and are
treating their cross ties with this oil to
prevent early decay. Douglas fir rail-
road ties, untreated, must be replaced
every five or six years, but when prop
erly treated with creosote, they may be
expected to last eighteen years. City
engineers no longer think of putting in
wood-block pavement unless the blocks
have been carefully injected with a
a preservative.
The value of this work in wood
can not be over-estimated,
for it means a saving of thousands OF
dollars for the people who use large
quantities of material, and prolonging
of the life of the country's rapidly
diminishing timber supply. Because
Of the importance of the work, the
government through the United States
Forest Service is doing everything in
its power to show the economic advan-
tages of treating timber, in order that
its practice will continue to grow as it
has in the past.
Because of the high freight charges
on commodities shipped from the East,
local creosoting works have been pur-
chasing their oil in England. The oil
shipped from England comes in steel
drums, containing ITO gallons each.
These drums cannot be returned, and
it is, therefore, necessary to sell them
to local users at their own price, which
is usually considerable below cost. In
order to obtain oil more cheaply one of
the creosoting companies on Puget
Sound is having large tank steamer,
with capacity of 1,250,000 gallons,
built for the sole purpose of bringing
creosote from London. When this
steamer is put into service, wood pres
ervation in the Northwest will no longer
be hampered by the high price of oil,
and the demand for treated timber will
undoubtedly increase very rapidly.
In view of the excellent market for
coal tar creosote in this vicinity, a
Spokane concern is preparing to manu-
facture this oil. This firm obtains coal
tar from local gas plants, and by
redistilling it, produces creosote and
pitch.
The District Forester at Portland
will be very glad to answer any requests
for information on the subject of wood
Publications of the Forest
dealing with this subject, may
be obtained free, upon application to
the Forester, at Washington, D. c.
