course, longer than the upper.
The third theory is that the Roman
cross was derived Immediately from
the "T' cross through the act of
PLATE in having the inscription con-
cerning the King of the Jews" nailed
on Christ's cross. According to ira
dition, this inscription was nailed on
the back of the cross on which the
Savior hung, and gave it the appear
ance of what afterwards became styled
the Roman cross.
Long a Religious Emblem.
Professor Mauritzson held it remark
able that the cross should have been
sacred emblem throughout ages long
before Christ. He pointed out, how.
ever, that the reverence with which it
is held by Christians is prompted by
entirely different motives than that OF
the ancient pagans, and showed that
the early Christians were in no way
influenced by pagan practices in adop
ting the cross as their emblem

source of supply of tie timber will be

Stumpage values have been increas-
ing so rapidly during the last few years
that many railroads have found 1t
necessary to modify their timber policy,
and they yearly apply preservatives 20
a greater number of ties and to more
kinds of wood Substitute woods nat
urally vary with different sections OF
the country, but in most cases they
lack the two essential qualities found
in white oak, namely, resistance to me-
chanical wear and to decay.
Experience proves that wear can be
successfully retarded by the use of tie
plates and other mechanical devices,
and decay can be postponed by the ap-
plication of proper preservatives. The
new conditions have made it necessary
for many railroad companies to meet
the problem of preservation by estab-
fishing treating plants at central points
of distribution along their lines.

Municipal Affairs
WANT AUTHORITY TO
FIX ELECTION FEES
Councilman Consider Five Dollar
Limit imposed by Ordinance May
Work Injustice in the
Future

A clash is threatened today in the
council over the matter of fixing fees
for special elections. The ordinance
nov fixes this fee for election officers
at IS a day, but there are some men,
bers of the council who want this item
stricken out of the ordinance and the
question of the amount of the fee left
to the council at each election.
This matter was brought up at the
last charter amendment election. There
were thirty-one charter amendments
and although the vote was not large,
precincts were consolidated and in
some of them the election officers had
to work twenty-four and thirty-six
hours without intermission.
Almost every member of the council
felt SIS was too small a compensation
for this length of time, and asked the
city attorney ii there was not some
way to pay the election clerks more,fo
the work they had done. The city at
torney reported that the ordinance fixed
the fee and the council could not go
beyond 1t.
In order that such an injustice may
not occur again several members of
the council want this clause of the cleo
tion' ordinance invalidated, but there
are others who believe there will never
be another election that will take as
much time as the charter amendments
did and think the ordinance should be
allowed to stand.

The building will be RACED and the

the building was purchased just as

so decayed that but a portion of the
structure will be suitable for building

In place of the old building will be
