Northern operates a large plant at
Somers, Montana, where it uses zinc
chloride instead of creosote. Two new
plants will be erected very soon by the
Great Northern, one at Cass Lake,
Minnesota. and another nea the west
ern end of the line, n Washington. The
new transcontinental road, the Chiea
90, Milwaukee & Puget Sound, is also
planning to build a very large treating
plant in Montana within a short time.
The large mining companies are not
far behind the railroads in adopting
preventative treatment for the timber
used in the mines, as enormous quaint
ties of timber are used each year for
supports. While a great deal of this
is temporary in character, there are
many tunnels and shafts which must be
kept open for a long term of years.
Here where wood decays very rapidly,
and the cost of replacing the timbers
is very great a good deal of money
can be saved by treating the timber
with a p~reservative. The Bunker Hill
and Sullivan Mining and Concentrating
company of Kellogg, idaho, and the
Hercules. Mining company of Burke,
Idaho, last year obtained the assist
ance of the forest service in designing
and building treating plants. The for
est service furnished an engineer in
wood preservation to take charge of
the plants until employees of the com
.panies had become familiar with the
work, the companies paying the ex
penses. After six months operation
under the supervision of the forest
service, the latter withdrew and the
plants are now being run by the com
panies themselves.

PRESERVING WOOD
IN MONTANA
Especial to Silver State News

Missoula, Mont, Aug. 21.-Interest

Der to increase it's length of life is de
veloping at a rapid rate throughout
the northwest states. A few years
ago when all kinds of wood were cheap
and plentiful, people selected the kinds
which were most durable and best
suited for their purposes. The result
is that the most valuable species are
nowadays comparatively scarce and
a big item particularly to farmers,
railroads, mines and telephone com
panies. The men controlling these in
dustries naturally began to cast about
for some mean of reducing the cost
of fence-posts, piling, reailroad ties.
mine timbers, telephone and telegraph
poles and other timbers likely to de
cay, and making them last longer. The
thought naturally occurred: eff there
were some way to make the ommon
and cheap kinds of timber last longer,
IT might help u.s. Various people got
busy and worked out several different
methods of treating timber cheaply
ana yet effectively. Probably the
United States government, through the
forest service, has worked on this

well developed that the economy of
timber treatment is a sure thing. The
life of almost any wood can at least

with creosote or zinc chloride. This
alone means a great saving, both in
the original cost of the timber and in
the labor of replacing them. But bet

ed are Just as good as the valuable and
naturally durable kinds, and will last
considerably longer than those which
are naturally durable but untreated.
Then cottonwood, willow, spruce,
lodgepole pine, or jack pine can be
used in place of cedar for posts; birch,
hemlock or tamaraek in place of oak
for ties; lodgepole pine in place of
cedar for poles; and in every case the
treated substitute will last longer than
the wood commonly used. and will
cost less.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS STAMPS
Indications are that the Red Cross
Christmas stamps that were so much
in vogue last wear with which to seal
packages and which made q fine Orna-
ment to same, and at the same time
lent help to a worthy cause. that of
the prevention and relief of
tuberculosis in this state, will be in
stiIl greater demand this year. 1t IS
estimated by the Minnesota Associa-
tion for the Prevention and Relief Of
Tuberculosis that fully million of the
stamps will be disposed of during the
coming holidays.
As one half the proceeds of the sale
of the stamps in each locality are to be
retained in that locality for local
work, clubs are being formed in a
number of cities of the state to push
the sale of the stamps.
The stamps are neatly gotten up
in book form, and will be on sale at a
number OF stores in the city.

BASKET BALL SEASON
L.F.Business College to Put
Out Quintet--HiGh School
Also has Plans

With the coming Of cold weather
and the ending of the football season
all attention in scholastic sports
naturally reverts to basket ball, and
with that to the Little Falls Business
college quintet which last year gained
such an enviable reputation in the
circles of this popular indoor game.
After a contemplation Of the prowess
Of the team turned out last season by
the local college, it is but natural tc
inquire as to what class of basket
ball is to be expeced from the team
to be put in the field by the college
this season. 5-. IT. .m.
We are agreeably surprised to tino
that all the star players of last year s
quintet. with the exception o1
Griffith at center, will be members Of
this years team, namely Hall,
Cannon and johnson forwards and
Crest and Berg guards. Then there
are three or four other available
players, who 1t is expected will turn
oht good, among whom is McGonagle
OF ROyalton, who is this year attend
Ing the local college. All know that
as we'll as good players good coach
ii Necessary, and as Earl Wetzel,> last
seasons coach for the team, has con-
sented to act in the same capacity
this season, the fans of this city can
rest assured that they will witness
some excellent basketball playing the
coming season. Eu-.
llhe Germania hall, which has been
rented by the college, is being put in
shape for the game and practice
commences IN earest tomorrow. The
team will not be organized until
about the middle of next month,
when it will be seen how the players
are turning out.
The high school Is also getting
material together with which to put
out winning team, and although it
can not expect to be in a class with
the business college team. 1t Will
nevertheless show some good stunts
il basketball playing. Among those
who are trying tor a position on the
quintet are Lester and Chester
Longley,' Robert Richard, Harke1
Gordon, Clifton Roberts. Erwin
Dunphy and Sherman Lewis. The
team will most likely be organized
soon after the THANKSGIVING vacation,
and commence practice games with
the college team.
