FINE ENTRANCE
TO PARK SURE
COUNCIL TAKES FIRST STEP
AT AGRICULTURAL
TWO BoULEVARDs ARE PRO-
ViDED FOR
Condemnation Proceedings Ordered to
Gain Property for Streets
Which Will Be 100
Feet in With

In order to make magnificent boule-
ward entrances from Vermont avenue
to Agricultural park the city council
yesterday ordered the city attorney to
begin proceedings to condemn land to
make Forty sixth and Forty-eighth
streets $50 feet wide from Vermont to
Agricultural avenue.
To do this it will be necessary TO
condemn eight lots, each 90 wide, and
the cost for this proceeding will be
included in other condemnation work
that has been ordered for the improve
ment of Agricultural park and distrib-
uted through the same assessment dis
trict that has been fixed to pay the
expense.
The condemnation proceedings that
already have been ordered for this
park were yesterday divided into two
classes and will be prosecuted sepa-
rately. The intention is to square out
the park from Figueroa street to Agri-
cultural avenue On the Figueroa
street side the property has not been
subdivded extensively and the entire
frontage is owned by six persons. Be
cause the ownership of this property
is so well concentrated 1t will be com
paratively easy to carry the legal pro-
eeedings to a speedy conclusion.
One block in the northwest corner
of Agricultural park also is to be con-
demned to square out the park, but
the block is cut up into lots fifty feet
wide and is owned by large number
of persons. This will make the legal
proceedings more difficult and the con-
demnation of this block will be carried
on as a separate process from the Fig
ueroa street frontage.
These actions of the council were
made on the recommendation of w. M.
Bowen, who is known as the father
of Agricultural park" and to whom
most of the credit Is given that this
big tract of land has been preserved
for the use of the people. In the next
ten wears the state county and city
will spend at least 100000 to beautify
this big park.

TRAINED SHARPSH0OTERS
ADDED TO GERMAN ARMY
Rifles to Be Placed at Disposal of
Two and One-haIf Million
Veterans

BERLIN Aug. 26.--Nearly two and
a half millions of well trained and
disciplined sharpshooters have been
added 10 the defensive forces of the
German empire by the imperial chan
cellor. Herr Won Bethmann- Hollweg
has taken the important and far-reach
ing step of giving permission by decree
to the 2402 644 members of the 27,676
veterans societies to practice rifle
shooting on the military rifle ranges
at very modest charge by the military
authorities.
Hitherto all the requests of the vet
Grams societies in this direction have
been refused. After the recent nation
al shooting festival at Hamburg, how
ever, another petition was forwarded
to the chancellery, and, much to the
surprise and delight of the societies,
with a successful result.
Thus an immense army, the members
of which have all served their term in
the active army. will be kept in con-
stant shooting practice and ready to
fall into their praces in the ranks and
&C straight to the front should their
country require their services.

ming to their full capacity and using
any species of wood.
The Great Northern operates large
plant at Somers, Mont, where it uses
zinc chloride instead of creosote. Two
new plants will be erected very soon by
the Great Northern, one at Cass Lake,
Mimi, and another near the western
end of the line, in Washington. The
new transcontinental road, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound, is also
planning to build a very large treating
plant in Montana within short time.
Mine Supports Treated
The large mining companies are not
far behind the railroads in adopting
preservative treatment for the timber
used in the mines, as enormous quanti-
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 ttmbers is
very great, a good deal of money can
be saved by treating the timber with a
preservative.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining
and Concentrating company of Kellogg
Idaho, and the Hercules Mining com
pany of Burke, Idaho, obtained last
wear the assistance of the forest service
in designing and building treating
plants. The forest service furnished an
engineer in wood preservation TO take
charge of the plants until employees of
the companies had become familiar
with the work, the companies paying
the expenses. After six months opera
ton under the supervision of the forest
service the latter withdrew, and the
plants are now being run by the COM
panie5 themselves.
Any person who so desires can obtain
siroilar cooperation with the service
by application to the district forester
at Nissoula. Mont.

CLAMPITT'S NEW HIGH
STREET PLAN OPPOSED
Situation of Federal Building Causes
Opposition to Proposal to
Lower the Grade

To cut off the high spots in New
High street and aurn the water that
now flows west on Temple street into
New High street was the subject OF a
resolution introduced into the council
yesterday by Councilman Clampitt.
Clampitt found some opposition to
his plans. and the best the council
could do for him was to refer the mat
ter to the city engineer and get his
opinion as to whether or not such
course was feasible and desirable.
II was suggested that the govern
ment had built the new federal build
ing with regard TO the street grades as
they now exist. and to change the grade
OF a street, especially if it would dam
age the governments property, might
be the cause of some trouble. The va
ter now runs through a natural water
course, and to turn the water on to
other property might make the city
liable for heavy damages.

CITY ASKED TO PROVIDE
NURSES FOR THE POOR
Society for Prevention of Tuberculosis
Wants Additional Help Given
Board of Health

The Los Angeles Society for the Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis yesterday asked
the city council to provide a nurse, to
be attached to the board of health,
whose duty it should be to look after
the tubercular poor Of the city, and also
asked that an inspector Of hospitals be
appointed,
The request for a nurse for tubercular
poor met with hearty support from
Barney Healey, who would have hun
dreds of nurses employed if he had his
way about it. Most Of the patients
whom these nurses must look after are
located in the old Eighth ward Healy's
district, and he fully appreciates the
work done in the past The petition
was referred to the health department.

FIRE BOARD JARRED BY
OFFER TO CUT EXPENSES
Superintendent of Alarm System Says
He Can Dispense with Two
Employees

The fire commissioners opened their
mouths in astonishment yesterday
morning when F. w. Frankhouser, su-
perintendent of fire alarm. asked that
his force be reduced by two men.
such thing as the head of depart
ment asking that his force be reduced
is unheard of in the city hall, where
the constant cry is for more men and
higher salaries for the men already
employed.
Although they were somewhat dazed
bv the unexpectedness of the request.
the fire commissioners retained enough
presence of mind TO promptly grant it.
Frankhouser explained that as the city
was not putting in any more fire
alarms, and only such work was being
done as was necessary for the proper
maintenance of the system, he easily
could dispense with a Wireman and
Iineman.

OF WOOD EASY
LIFE OF TIMBER LENGTHENED
~ a-AsrAIT
81 f1EH NlENt
NORTHWESTERN STATES QUICK
TO APPLY METHODS
Durability of Railroad Ties, Telephone
Poles and Mine Props Greatly
Increased by Use of
Creosote

MISSOULA. Mont. Aug. 26.-Interest
in the preservative treatment of timber
to increase its length of life is develop
ing at a rapid rate throughout the
northwestern states. A few years ago
when all kinds of wood were cheap
and plentiful people selected the kinds
which We're most durable and best
suited for their purposes. The result is
that the most valuable species are now
adays comparatively scarce and high,
and the cost of wood has become a big
item particularly to farmers. railroads,
mines and telephone companies.
The men controlling these industries
naturally began to cast about for some
means of reducing the cost of fence
posts, piling, railroad ties mine tim
bers. telephone and telegraph poles and
other timbers likely to decay and max
ing them last longer. The thought
naturally occurred: IF there were some
way to make the common and cheap
kinds of timber last longer it might
help some" Various persons got busy
and worked out several different
methods of treating timber cheaply and
yet effectively. Probably the United
states government, through the forest
service, has worked on this longer than
anyone else in this country. Now the
processes have been so we'll developed
that the economy of timber treatment
is sure thing.
Treatment Doubles Life
The life of almost any wood at least
can be doubled by thorough impregna-
ton with creosote or zinc chloride. This
alone means a great saving, both in the
original cost of the timbers and in the
labor of replacing them. But better
yet cheap woods when treated are just
as good as the valuable and naturally
durable kinds, and viii last consider
ably longer than those which are natur-
ally durable but untTeated.
Then cottonwood willow, spruce,
lodgepole pine or jack pine can be used
in place of cedar for posts; birch, hem
lock or tamarack 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.
The railroads, always alert for great
or economy in management, were the
first to adopt preservative treatment
for their ties. The Northern Pacific
now creosotcs nearly every tie used.
Its CreOsoting plants at Brainerd,
Mimi, and Paradise, Mont, are run
