with approximately 10 per cent Of the

these two timbers will increase as the
supply Of oak dwindles. This is also
true Of cedar, chestnut, cypress, west
ern pine, tamarack, hemloek, and 9th.
er trees which are coming into the
market as tic timbers.
Cedar, which is very durable, has
been extensively used to take the
place Of white oak for ties. but Il is
so soft that it is readily cut by the
rails. This necessitates the use Of tie
plates and other protective devices
when cedar ties are used AS the sup
ply of cedar is also running short, il
is necessary for the railroads to seek
further for new tie timber. One Of
the woods which has all the requis-
ties Of a good tie, with the exception
Of durability, is the beech
A beech tie generally consists
largely Of sapwood, which partly ac-
counts for It's lack OF durability, but,
on the other hand, allows thorough
and easy preseryative treatment In
Germany and France, beech ties have
been successfully preserved from de-
cay, and are used very extensively
Beech is found widely distributed
throughout the eastern part OF the
United States, and at the present
time is comparatively cheap and
abundant. II, therefore, the railroads
whose lines are located in the regions
where beech is abundant can make
use Of this wood, treated with some
suitable preseryative, another source
Of supply Of tie timber will be opened

creasing so rapidly during the last
few years that many railroads have
found it necessary to modify their
timber policy, and they yearly apply
preservatiyes to a greater number Of
ties and to more kinds Of wood Sub
stitute woods naturally vary with diff
ferent sections Of the country, but in
most cases they lack the two essen
taial qualities found in white oak,
namely, resistance to mechanical wear
and to decay. Experience proves that
wear can be successfully retarded by
the use Of tie plates and other me-
ehanical devices, and decay can be
postponed by the application Of pro.
per preseryatives. The new condi-
tions have made it necessary for many
railroad companies to meet the prob
lem Of preservation by establishing
treating plants at central points Of
distribution alon gtheir lines.

With the Fourth Of July still more
than four months away, young Amer
iica, "a far as this city is concerned,
| is filled with gloom. for according to
the edict which has just gone forth
independence Day-the glorious
fourth--will not be glorious at all
this year. Instead the city viii have
what may be termed denatured
celebration In which only the youth
ful capitalists Of the city will be able
10 participate. Practically New York
win have no Fourth this year, and as
result the man who is responsible
for the innovation-tha is. Fire
Commissioner Hayes could not be
elected 10 the Office Of dog catcher as
far as the juvenile vote is concerned.
The whole sad situation i due to the
ruling that no fireworks shall be sold
lin this city between June 10 and July
10. In other words, only those elect
few WHO are able to import explo-
sives in the shape Of hrecraekers,
bombs and the like or to tie TIP the
capital invested in them for nearly
month, viii be able to celebrate.
Nine boys out of every ten in this city
who celebrate the Fourth in the old
fashioned way obtain the materials
for SO doing only day or two in ad-
vance by means Of money earned in
any possible way during the few pre-
ceding days. To require them to lay
lin their supply Of hrecrackers a
month ahead. and thus tie up stheir
capital. is to bar them from celebrat-
ing the Fourth. This, however, nefari-
GUS as it may seem, is just what Com
missioner Hayes has, in mind, for
strangely enough he has figured out
that it will be easier and cheaper to
prevent the usual crop Of Fourth Of
July fires than to fight them So un-
less the cruel edict is revoked the
Fourth this year viii resound not with
the racket Of firecrackers and cannon,
but with the heart broken howis Of
the children participating in the city's
first noiseless Fourth.

Senator Hart of Baker City has
returned to his home, where he has
built up a fine law practice. lie was
one of the clean and progressive
leaders In the senate, and is inclined
to believe that the legislature as a
whole was better than IL has been
pictured. He says he believes the
legislature was better than the aver
age. Few bad bills passed and most
of the members worked for what
hey really thought was best for the
state. There was very little trading
and bills mostly went up and down
on their merits. With the senatorial
election out of the way this result
was possible, and the conditions un-
der which legislation is conducted
are improved in every way. be-
lieve the direct primary law and the
direct election of senators have come
to stay and the Republican party
should accept the result and adjust
itself TO the changed political sys-
tenn. The people will never go back
TO the old way. | consider the tax

who will work hard to dig up new
sources of revenue other than direct
taxes. The people will not stand for
any further direct taxes In my opin-
ion. The new water code and the
Eaton bill to tax water powers be-
longing to the state are in the line
of progress. The bill to secure a
six months school to every country
district will help conditions in the
little, neglected schools of the state
and help the reputation of the whole
state.
"It was a mistake to abolish the
normal schools, and the state will
live to see 1t. | understand that
nearly 400 students have paid six
months tuition in advance and are
deprived of four months schooling
for which they have paid, and there
was no provision made to retuTn the
money That may be fair treatment
but doubt It."
Mr.. Hart was formerly a county
superintendent of schools and public
prosecutor in the Willamette valley.
He can be said to have been the lead
er OF the senate where as chairman

cised a predominating influence on

DIVORCES
 ASKED, BUT ONE
 ONLY IS GRANTED

Before Judge Howard J. Curtis in the Superior court this morning four divorce cases were heard. One was granted, two refused and the court took the papers in one. Auguste K. knowlton of Danbury was freed from Joseph Knowlton of the same town. Jennie C. Akin, who wished to be freed from Floyd Akin, both of Danbury and Anna Chase against Ralph G. Chase, both of this city, were told by the court to wait for a. few years until they could claim a separation on the grounds of desertion. In the case of Clara GOerss against George Goerss, both of Greenwich, Judge Curtis took the papers.
 Auguste Knowlton testified that she was married in 1896 and lived with her ed her. He often tore the clothes off, and once threatened to kill her. He sent a pork steak for dinner one day which she turned over to the Board of Health. Other witnesses corroborated Mrs. Knowlton. The divorce was granted on the ground of cruelty.
 Clara Goerss was married in Green wich in 1903, and lived happily with her husband until he took to drink At one time he choked her. When she refused to give him money which she earned as a trained nurse he threaten ed to- kill her. She bought a. pistol for him. He often turned it on her. She had a little store, which she sold, and put the money in the bank. He promised her that if she would put the money in his name that he would go to work and add to it. He drew out $500, went to New York and spent it. The judge took the papers in this case.
 Anna Chase. a comedy young women, was told by the court to wait for about two years more when she could obtain divorce on the ground of desertion. She claimed that Ralph G. Chase was cruel and incorporate. \ They were married Jan. p. 1905, in this city.
 Jennie c. Akin of Danbury was also told to wait a few years. She told the court that her husband, Floyd Akin, would take a notion at times and leave her for few weeks and then come back. He left her finally on April 19, 1908. Her maiden name was Miller.
