DURING 1909 NEARLY FOUR
MILLION STICKS OF TIM
Der WERE SOLD.
Average Cost Per Pole Being $3.50
Cedar Principal Timber-Chestnut
Comes Next-Great Progress Made in
Treating Poles With Chemicals to
Preserve Them From Decay.

The total number of poles ranor.oa
to the bureau of the census as purchased
during the calendar year 1909 by the
telegraph and telephone commands
steam and electric railroads, and cleo.
trio light and power companies of the
United States was 3,739,OOO, as against
3,249,000 in 1908 and 3,32s, 900 in 1907
There were purchased in 1909 bv tho
same class of users 3,5O9, 900 cross-arms
o'los'ooo brackets, and 14,463,OOO in
sulator pins. Cross arms, brackets. and
lnsulator pins were not included in the
annual census of lumber and timber
products prior to 1909.
Telephone and telegraph companies
reported purchases during 1909 of 2.916.-
600 poles, or rs per cent of the totaI
ms was an increase over 1908 in the
number reported as bought by this class
OF users OF $4,000 poles, or IA per cent,
and over 1907 of 100000 poles, or 26
per cent. Steam railroads reported the
purchase of 26 per cent more poles in
1909 than in 1908, though "a per cent
less than in 1907, while the reported
purchases by electric railroads and cleo
trio light and power companies were Is
per cent greater than in 1908 and
per cent less than in 1907.
There was little change in the aver
age cost per pole of all lengths and
from all species of wood in 1909. as
compared with 1908, it being $3.50 in
the later and $1.s2 in the earlier year.
Inc average cost per pole, $246, in
1907, was substantially larger than in
either of the later years, mainly for
the reason that a class of pole con-
sumers in the United States which uses
chiefly short poles was not included
in the census for 1907.
Cedar continues to be the principal
pole timber, contributing 65 per cent
OF the total purchases in 1908, IS per
cent IN 1908, and Ga per cent in 1907.
Chestnut, after cedar, was used in
greatest quantity in all three years,
forming 16. per cent of the total in
1909, 16 per cent in 1908, and 10 per
cent in 1907. Among the remaining
species, the increase in the number of
oak poles reported as purchased during
the last three years is noteworthy; more
than three times as many poles from
this species having been reported as
purchased during 1909 as was the case
in 1907
Substantial progress in the practice
OF treating poles with chemicals to pre-
serve them from decay is disclosed by
the returns for 1909, as nearly one-sixth
of the total purchases during that year
having been given some preservative
treatment, as against about one-tenth
IN 1908 and one-eighth in 1907.
Of the total outlay during 1909,
1851, 900, for cross arms, brackets and
lnsulator pins, the telegraph and tele-
phone companies contributed 63 per
cent, electric railroads and electric light
and power companies 80 per cent, and
steam railroads per cent.
