Henry o. Silkman, owner of the beau
tiful Lake Henry estate at Maplewood,
Lake township this county, between
Scranton and Lake Ariel, died on Mon
day last, February 1st, 1909. He was
rs years of age, and is survived by his
wife and two sisters. For several years
he had suffered from rheumatic troubles,
though up to two months ago he was
able to be about most of the time. Mr..
Silkman was born in Katonah, West
Chester Co., N. Y. When but child
his parents moved to Dunmore, where
they lived for a few years, later taking
up their residence in what is now North
Scranton. There the father opened an
iron foundry and his sons Henry o. and
Frank B., became associated with him
in the enterprise. Twenty-Five years
later the foundry was destroyed by fire
and Henry o. Silkman went to Berwick,
remaining there for short time, later
moving to Maplewood, where he owned
large tract of land. When the Erie
and Wyoming Valley railroad passed
through his land he was given import
ant concessions for the right of way.
For over thirty years, Mr.. Silkman lived
at Maplewood, where he owned large
timber tracts and fine water power
plant. For a number of years he oper-
ated saw-mill and chair factory. Mr..
Silkman was also the owner of Lake
Henry and the land between the lake
and the Erie tracks. This stretch was
covered with the finest timber and was
one OF Mr.. Silkman's most highly priced
possessions. He made it into a beauti-
full park, which he improved with path
ways and rustic bridges and in which
he erected large pavilions and other
buildings necessary for a picnic ground.
The park was used for couple of sea-
sons, but owing to the fact that the rail-
road company would not furnish train
accommodations it hadto be abandoned
for all but private uses. Lake Henry
was made famous as fishing ground
when Mr.. Silkman stocked the waters
with pickerel, perch and catfish. Thou
sands of anglers went to the lake eacf
season and many of them built cottage
along the shore. Mr.. Silkman was alsC
interested in the large ice houses at tn
outlet of the lake, in which many ton
of ice for the use of the people of Scran
ton and other places, was stored eacl
winter.

USE OF WESTERN
PINE FOR POLES
Tree Has Many Qualities Making 1t
Desirable for Pole Timbers-
Preservatives Used.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 20
Especial. 1.-The western red cedar is
largely used on the Pacific coast for
poles. in certain interior parts of
California, however, the wood is very
expensive owing to the high cost Of
rail shipment over the mountains, ad-
ded to the cost of water transporta-
ton from the Puget Sound region to
San Francisco. In the San Joaquin
valley, the native yellow pine, OBJ
tanned from the surrounding noun
tains, has been used to a limited ex-
tent for poles. This tree has num-
Der of qualities which make it de-
sirable pole timber, but it is not dura-
BILE, and decays at the butt in a few
years, when set without being given
preservative treatment.
The forest service has recently COM
pleted series of tests in the preser-
vative treatment of this wood. An
experimental plant was operated near
Fresno, California, in which about $50
poles were treated. 1t was found that
the western yellow pine ranks among
the woods which are most easily I'M
pregnated with preservatives. and that
when thoroughly seasoned, penetra-
ton of from two to three inches was
obtained by immersing the butts of the
poles in a tank of hot creosote for
a period of one hour, followed by five
minutes immersion in cold creosote.
Owing to the ease with which it alb
serbs the preservative, western yellow
pine is admirably adapted for treat
ment by the open-tank process. Since
the treatments can be conducted with
comparatively simple and inexpensive
apparatus, it seems certain that the
pine pole with creosoted butt will re-
place the cedar pole in many local.
ties, as soon as it's advantages are
more commonly recognized.
