Can Your Advertising Agent
OutSe11 Ali the Rest?

But what do they all matter when compared
with results?
Our only claim is that we outsell all others.
We have proved it to hundreds. We can. prove
il to you.
This fact Is so certain-so invariably true
that we handle advertising without any contract
whatever We rely solely on results to keep T.
That is why our Copy, Chief is paid s.. 900
per week. That is why each Of our brilliant
men holds the place he holds.
Working together-as they do-they can
sell more goods per dollar spent than any other
men in existence.
Suppose these claims are facts. And sup
pose they apply to you.
Suppose these men, at the same expense,
could bring twice the results you are getting.
How much would it mean? !.
There is way to find out-easily, quickly
and certainly.
It can be done without any commitment on
your part, and without disturbing your present
agency connections. ~
The answer will be clear and final Il may
be worth thousands Of dollars to you. And il
may be worth millions. That depends aon the

when the voter casts his ballot at

all know that if the present prop

present Company have clearly
shown their good intentions, it
will be hard proposition to get
some other manufacturing concern
to try to locate here,
The company have seven or
eight thousand dollars invested
at the present time. They ask
for 90 horse power from the sur

option so that within a few years
they be allowed to install a wheel
atthe dam, construct a transmits
sion line and get transformers at
their own expense, said wheel and
transmission line to be turned
over to the town of Eagle River,
without one cent of cost to the
town, and in return they ask the
town to give them the power gen

Of fifteen years. The 90 horse
power surplus from the present
line to be returned to the town
OF Eagle River as soon as they
get power from the new wheel

a motor iceboat at trifhng cost and
with little loss of time. The boat in

by John Milot and John Beebe. A

The driving wheel is an Old metal

driver is carried in a rocking frame
which can be raisde TO lift The wheel
from the ice or depressed TO make the
teeth bite into the ice as desired. This
is accomplished by moving the uprigh

feet apart. Steering is by means of

this steering rod would be dangerous;

Stumpagee values have been increas-
ing 30 rapidly during the last few years
that many railroads have found 1t nee
essary 10 modify their timber policy,
and they yearly apply preservatives
to a greater number OF ties and to
more kinds OF wood. Substitute woods
naturally vary with different sections
OF the country, but in most cases
they lack the two essential qualities
found In white oak, namely. resistance
to mechanical wear and to decay. Elk
perience proves that wear can be
successfully retarded by the use OF
tie plates and other mechanical de-
vices. and decay can be postponed by
application OF proper personalities.
The new conditions have made II nee
essary for many railroad companies
to meet the problem OF preservation
by establishing treating plants at cen
trail points Of distribution along their
lines.

SIGNIFICANCE OF
RAILROAD Ties
White-oak the Best and
Most Used.
Other Woods Make Good Ties If
Durability is Lengthed by
Chemical Treatment.

That the humble railroad tie is a
most important factor in the material
development of the country is great
truth that is little understood by peo-
pie outside of railroad circles. The puff
fling engine that speeds at the rate
OF mile or more minute over the
country is slave to the two steel
rails that insure a smooth and safe
road, and these rails in turn depend
on the old-fashioned wooden cross
tie which holds them I'm place.
Yankee invention has not yet found
a substitute which has induced the
railroads to give up wood, although
experts say that the day will surely
come when the country's forests will
no longer be called upon to supply
The demand for ties. Up to the pre-
sent time 1t seems that no other
material has been found which has
the nesdliency OF wood and which atth,
same time causes less wear and tear
ON the rails, fastenings and roadbed.
The country's railroads during the
last two or three years used 110.000,oO0
to 100000, 900, of sawed and hewn ties
a year. The ideal tie timber is white
oak, which combines the qualities Of
durability, hardness, strength.and close
grain. 1t is not only excellent for
ties, but is widely used in ship
building. for. general construction, in
coopeuage. In tIhe manufacture OF
carriages, for agricultural implements
interior finish of houses, and for fur
niture. On account of thds wide use,
the supply has been greatly reduced
and some of the railroads have been
forced to pay almost prohibitive prices
for ties, or to substitute other and
cheaper woods to replace the white
oak ties rapidly disappearing from
their lines.
Over 40 per cent Of the ties recently
purchased by the railroads of the coun
try are oak. according to latest sta
tistics of United States Forest Service.
Cross-sdes Of Southern pine formed
somewhat less than rs per cent
Douglas fir ties ranked third, with APP
proximately 10 per cent Of the total,
Naturally the proportion Of these two
timbers will increase as the supply
Of oak dwindles. This is also true
OF cedar, chestnut, cypress. Western
piano, tamarack, hemlock, and other
trees which are coming into the mar
ket as tie timbers.
Cedar, which is very durable, has
been, extensively used to take the
place Of white oak for ties, but 1t ds
SO soft that 1t is readily cut by the
rails. This necessitates the use of tie
plates and other protective devices
when cedar ties are used As the
supply OF cedar is also running short,
It Is necessary for the railroads to
seek further for new tie timber. One
Of the woods which has all tine requisi
ties OF good tie, with the excep-
tion of durality. is the beech.
"A beech tie generally consists lar
geay OF sapwood, which partly accounts
for its lack of durability, but, on
the other hand, allows thorough and
easy preseryativ ttereaement. In Ger
many and France, beech ties have been
successfully preserved from decay and
