pected that they sharethe sentiments and re.

Did the near beer dealers share that opinions.

cutting James Schuyler, of Homecoming,
collector of taxes under the district
system.
II the charge against him was not
embeZzlement it was something equiva-
lent thereto, yet. evidently, the allega-
ton did not originate with the alligator.
The bondsmen made good but they
seemed to show disposition to suffer
rather than prosecute.
On the contention of counsel, sup
ported by the courts rulings, that the
law had been complied with the State
agreed to verdict of acquittal.
Meanwhile, what sort of law is it that
holds the collector with tighter rein than
the real delinQueut-the so-called tax
payer?
What sort of law is it that practically
makes a candidate for collector pos.

There should be a day fixed not long
after taxes are due, beyond which
non-payment is equivalent to theft. and
restitution should be enforced at once.
In briefeSt terms, arrest and sell the
property taxed!

Wood Preservation Gains. Ground
in Colorado.

III colorado.
The value of wood preservation is
rapidly coming to be realized by the
wood using industries of the country.
This is especially true in the Rocky
Mountain region, whete it has been al
most entirely neglected i'll the past.
Evidence of this is to be found in CO.
operation begun with the United States
Forest Service by the Smuggler- Union,
Tomboy and Liberty Bell mines of
Telluride, Col.
AT these mines. as at almost all the
mines of this region, the supply of good
mine timbers is rapidly diminishing and
the use of inferior timbers is becoming
unavoidable. The life of the latter tim
beers is so short that their use is most
unsatisfactory without some means of
lengthening their life, such as is pro-
vided by chemical preservation against
the attacks of decay.
Arrangements have been made for a
thorough study OF the timbers available
for use at these mines. and of the cOndi-
tiOns under which they are 10 be used
A report will be made to the companies
by the Forest Service and recommends
tions made as to the type of plant and
methods of applying the preservative
which will be most economical and eff
fective. If the companies should then
feel 1t desirable TO undertake the erection
of plant the Forest SERVICE will assist
them further in the design aud erection
of the plant, and will operate it for them
untiltheiremployees have been instructed
in the work SO that they can take CHI arge
of it themselves.
Anyone who is interested in the APP
plicatiun of wood preservation can obtain
advice or assistance similar to that of
which the Telluride Mining Company
have awaited themselves by applying to
the District Forester, Denver, Colorado.
