Cemetery Needs Attention

The heavy, soaking rains of the past
few weeks have done some serious
damages at the Beaver cemetery which
should be given immediate attention.
At a number Of graves the dirt has
settled badly. in some Instances as
much as twelve or fifteen inches, and
it looks bad to see the resting place of
somebody's loved one in this condi-
ton. In many instances, of course,
friends and relatives of those whose
graves are thus affected, reside in the
community and all such "'ill be given
attention as soon as possible, but in
other cases no immediate relative or
friend is here to look after the graves
and all such should receive the atten.
tiun Of our citizens.
Beaver has "A civic pride that is com
mcndablr and we are sdre that this
matter needs but to be called to their
notice to receive prompt attention.
1t occurs to US that a balance re-
mains in the Bank to the credit OF the
Cemetery. Would il not be well to
exDend this money or part of it, IN
this manner. Let Us not neglect our
City of the Dead-the spot sacred tt
the hearts of all of US.

Preserving Fence Posts From
Decay

Every farmer is familiar with the
rOttening OF his fence posts at the sur
face Of the ground. The labor of re-
placing them and how to secure new
and durable posts are sources of con-
slant annoyance and expense Even
the more durable woods, such as ches-
nut, white oak and cedar decay in
eight or ten years. Ii is true that
there are a few kinds OF wood in the
United States. such as locust and Usage
orange, which give much longer ser.
vice but their supply, not very large,
is rapidly becoming exhausted, and
the farmer must now look to some
source for his posts. Perhaps directly
on his farm there may be a patch Of
woods which includes such trees a.
black OAK, beech, maple or pine, and
rottonwoods and willows may grow
along the banks of his streams. These
are trees which heretofore have been
thought little or no use for posts, be-
cause Of the rapidity with which they
are attacked ty decay. In their nat
ural condition, they will not rot in two
or three years, too soon to pay for the
labor of setting them. The forest ser
vice in its study Of prol0nging the life
of fence posts has found cheap and
simple methods OF preserving thea, in
sound condition for an indefinite
time, even though they are the poor
est naturally least durable woods
Decay is not simple process like
the crumbling of stone or the rusting
OF iron. 1t is caused by low forms of
plant life which thoroughly permeatcd
the wood, discolor it and cause it to
| become disconnected and d"rotten D."
| 70 preserve the timber in thorough
ly sound condition, it is only necessary
to render the wood unfit for the growtl
of these organisms. This is done
by injecting into it substances poison
Gus to plant life.
One OF the most widely used pres.
ervations is creOsote, one of the by
products OF coal tar. When it is in.
iected into the wood, decay will be
retarded indefinitely and an old-deld
pine or a cottonwood fence post when
properly treated will easily give life
OF 70 years or longer Such a preser-
yatlve treatment costs about ten cents
per post. The creosote can be applied
10y painting the wood with a brush OF
dipping it into the liquid, but mucl
better results will be obtained if it is
actually injected into the wood instead
of just merely coating the outside
1t the brush method, or painting, i,
used, the creusote should be applied
at temperature Of about $50 degrees
+. Two coats should be given at least
yenty-tour hours apart. II the post,
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1910-08-18

are dipped directly into the prese-va-
tive the creosote should be heated to
about the same temperature. The
best results of all can be obtained ty
first heating the posts in bath of hot
crnosOte and then either transferring
them quickly TO a bath Of creosote at
a lower temperature, or else shutting
of the heat and allowing the posts to
remain in the oil as it cools. BY such
a method the sapwood will become
thoroughly permeated with the creo-
sote. Full details and specific direc-
tions for the treatment of different
kinds Of posts may be obtained by APP

RAILROAD TRAFFIC
HAS INCREASED
The Business in and Out of this City
Has Been Greater Than in Many
Years-AII Roads Have Been
Benefited.
LOCAL TRAFFIC HEAVY
Freight Business Also Has Been In
creased During the Past Three
Months-Additiona Help
Employed.
LOCAL TRAFFIC HEAVY

All railroads entering Keokuk re-
port a large passenger traffic this fall,
declaring business to be the best for
several years. Travel to both the
west and east has been heavy. A
prosperous year with Iowa farmers
has made travel in the state good,
so that the railroads are believed to
have done record breaking business
in the passenger line during the past
three months.
Usually in the fall the traffic to the
west is not heavy, most of the trav-
cling public going east. This fall,
however, the road officials declare
western traffic has not shown much
of a decrease. but has been good for
the past three months. 1t, of course,
has not been so greaL as that which
the roads handled during the summer
months, when people were taking
their pleasure trips to Colorado and
other western states.
Tourists returning from the west
have added to the extra business OF
the roads. During the summer months
the coast railroads carried huge
crowds westward, and these people
have been returning for several
months to the middle western and
eastern states. Just now the tra1nc
to the south is good. People who are
looking for warm climates are going
to Florida and other states OF the
1 south.
With the Burlington and the North
western the traffic to the coast mas
been exceedingly heavy. The Mllwau-
kee which wends its way through
the northern states to Puget Sound,
has done a rush of business for sew
oral weeks. The traffic through keo-
,.r,, for this destination has not been
nc great as it was last fall. The land
onen;ne in South Dakota year ago
served an extra attraction for ehe
travellers. -.
The Illinois Central reports that its
trade to Chicago has been heavier
+bis fall than in other years Inc
cbamnionship baseball series IN tnat
city during Octopei uie"
nile to the west. People who nave
wished to do shopping in the large
c;tv and merchants who have wanted
70 buy goods for the fall trade nave
cone to Chicago and other cities. Inc
early cool snap caused the trafhc le
take a jump. The cold weather affeel
Cd other lines of business IN 'ne
same manner.
The Keokuk railroad men look for
a heavy trade during the latter par'
81 this month. Thanksgiving business
they say, should be better than u
previous years, as there is plenty 0,
money in the west and people viii no'
hesitate to travel during the MONDAYS
The Christmas business also is eS
pected to be great.
