A NEW CORPORATION MANUAL

One of the most convenient manuals
ever issued from the press has just
been published by the Smith Brooks
Printing company of Denver. 1t is
entitled, COLORADO Corporations, " and
is digest of the corporation laws of
the state, by r. S. Morrison, and E. D.
DeSOto, authors of the wellknown vol

The laws of Colorado relating to cor
porations have been enacted at vari-
Gus times, and for the purpose of meet
ing conditions as they arose. Natural
ly they are more or less obscure and in
consistent, if not actually conflicting.
Even lawyers find some difficulty in
interpreting them, and the ordinary
business man will be at sea if he un-
dertakes to draw up his papers and do
his business by consulting the Revised
Statutes. In this little volume the law
is stated so plainly and simply that
any ordinary ayman can find out how
to form company and draw up its ar

business, witho,E further advice.

James Byrne Dies in County

As q result of inhaling smoke, on
January 7th of 'this year, James Byrne
aged seventy-one years, died at the
county hospital Friday morning of this
week, at o. clock.
For years Byrne had lived in little
cabin near Carbondale. On January
seventh of this year his cabin was
practically destroyed by fire. In his

Byrne stayed in the burning building
and inhaled the fumes until the lining
of his lungs was destroyed. He was
brought to the county hospital near
this city the following day, and has
been receiving treatment in that insti.
tuition until death claimed him Friday
morning.
Mortician Schwarz was called and
took the remains to his Grand avenue
morguc, where they were prepared for
burial. The deceased has no known rel.
atives in this country. He was born
IN England sevcnty-one years ago.
The following regarding Byrne was
received from Carbondale yesterday:

Over forty per cent. of the ties re-
Gently purchased by the railroads OF
the country are oak, according to the
latest statistics from the United
States forest service Cross-ties of the
southern pine formed somewhat less
than twenty-five per cent. Douglas
fir ties ranked third, with approxim-
ately ten per cent. of the total. Nat

dwindles. This is also true of cedar,

bers.
Cedar, which is very durable, has
been extensively used to take the place
of white oak for ties, but 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 supply of cedar
is also running short, it is necessary
for the railroads to seek further for
new tie timber. One of the woods
which has all the requisites of a good
tic, with the exception of durability,
is the beech.
A beech tie generally consists large
ly of sapwood, which partly accounts
for it's lack of durability, but, on the
other hand, allows thorough and an
easy preservative treatment. In Ger
many and France, beech ties have been
successfully preserved from decay and
are used very extensively. Beech is
found widely distributed throughout
the eastern part of the United States
and at the present time is comparative
ly cheap and abundant. If, therefore,
the railroads whose lines are located
in the regions where the beech is abun-
dant, can make use of this wood, treat
cd with a suitable prcscrvative, anoth-
cr source of supply of tie timber will
Nv pP'h'h up
Stumpagc values have been increais-
ing so rapidly in the last few years
that many railroads have found it nee
essary to modify their timber policy,
and they yearly apply prcservatives to
a greater number of ties, and to more
kinds of wood. Substitute woods nat
urally vary in the different sections
of the country, but in most eases they
lack the two essential qualities found
in white oak, namely resistance to me-
chanical wear and to decay. Expert
ence proves that wear can be success
fully retarded by the use of tie pIstes,
and decay can be postponed by the ap
pfcation of proper preservmives. The
new conditions have made it necessary
for many railroad companies to NEE:
the problem of preservation by estah
fishing treating plants at central points
of distribution along their lines.
