Scarcity Of Genuine Whit!
Oak Timber.
White

/ It viii surprise most persons who know
sonething about oak to be told that the
so-called white oak timber Of our markets
is often mixture not only OF various
species Of the white oak group but also
Of other species, such as red oak. This
generally unknown fact Is reported BY
the y. S. Department Of Agriculture,
which. as part Of its forestry work, is
frequently called upon TO pass judgement
upon the identity Of market woods in
dispute.
Foresters divide all the oaks into two
distinct groups-the white oak group and
the black oak group. One way of dis
tinguishiug the two is by the fact that
the black oak requires two years to
mature their acorns, while the white oaks
take but one. The woods of the two
groups of oaks are also structuraily
different. The true w.ite oak, known to
botanists as Quercus alba, is merely one
of the species which make up the white
oak group. Red oak. on the other hand,
belongs to the black oak group. Red oak
has number of other common names,
among them mountain oak black oak
and Spanish oak.
There Is so much confusion in the
ordinary use of names of the oaks that 1t
is almost impossible to keep them straight
without resorting to scientific names. but
the marketing of wood of the black oak
group as white oak is hardly fair 10 the
consumer. Red oak, for instance, 10 now
much more abundant than white oak,
grows faster. and is generally regarded
as inferior. The two species often grow
together. and occupy the same general
region.
In the early days of its abundance,
market white oak was derived almost en-
-tirely, it is safe to say. from Quercus
alba. the true white oak. This species
combines approximately the utmost
strength and toughness OF any of the
timber oaks, excepting possibly the
southern live oak, which in it's colonial
days was SO highly priced for ship build
ing that it was protected by special laws.
The immense inroads made upon the
then apparently inexhaustible white oak
forests. which stretched from the Atlantic
seaboard to about Missouri, gradually SO
reduced the supply that the use of other
species became inevitable.
AT the present time it is impossible to
obtain consignment of white oak that
does not contain pieces of some other
species. Of the white oak group those
most used, in addition to the true white
oak, are bur oak, chestnut oak, chinqua.
pin oak, post oak, swamp white oak. COW
oak and overcup oak; of the black oak
group. Texas red oak, and spotted or
water oak.

quality is very largely cut into quarter
sawed boards, while combination of one

Whiskey dealers all claim they ship as

under license. AS it is an undisputed
fact that all such dealers are in the bust

 ARE GETTING RECKLESS
Taking Long Chances or the Roose-
 welt Road.

According to Fred Babby who is in charge of the Desert Wells station on the Roosevelt road there is a sudden tendency on the part of automobile drivers who have occasion to pass his place to get reckless. According to Mir. Babby. there are few drivers who have passed along his place lately who have totally ignored every common custom and courtesy which one man is supposed to show on meeting anoth- CT in q public highway. One case in particular which he called attention to was that of a car which passed the wells Sunday evening. There were a number of teams at the time. stopped at the wells for the purpose of water ing. when without warning and with out slowing down. the car dashed through frightening teams and making it dangerous for even the men who were in charge of the animals On another occasion which occurred Sat urday evening. immediately the other side If the wells a car eastbound frightened a long team enroute to Pineair with supplies One of the horses became unmana geable and be- gan kicking and tangling itself up in the harness finally passing entirely ont from under the control of the driver This dilemma it appears pleased the driver of the car greatly and he could not restrain his merri- ment at the huge joke he had just perpetrated. IL is pretty generally un- deistood that the primary object for which the Roosevelt road was con structed was to expedite matters in the construction of the dam-in other words furnishing an avenue over which the freight and oil could be hauled at the least possible expense of transportation. The road was built by the reclamation service but at the expense of the valley. When the ob- ject for which the road was built Is accomplished it will of course not be doubled up and taken away but it will remain for the comfort and con venience of those who have occasion to go from here To Roosevelt or other intermediate points. The road of course Is public highway, but as vet there has been no proclamation de- claring it a speedway on which reck- less drivers may indulge in brain storming- The mountain road is her aided as being one of the finest in the United States for automobiling and it has been the policy of the reclama- tion officials 10 permit the owners of cars to use the highway so long as that privilege is not abused

Real Prospect of an Electric
Road to Guthrie
BUSINESS MENBEHINDI IT
Toledo, Ohio, Promoter to
Begin at Once Working
Up the Project.

An interurban car line from Hop.
kinsville to Guthrie, by'way of Penn
broke and Trenton, is the latest
financial movement in this section.
Behind the movement, which is said
to have been brewing for some
weeks and for which the capital is
already arranged, are some of the
leading business men of Hopkins
Vile, and associated with them is
Charles Van den Burg, of Toledo, o..
Mr.. Van den Burg is expected to
locate here in the near future and
begin active work in promoting the
enterprise and in investigating diff
ferent roads and arranging rights of
way. The company will be known
as the Kentucky & Tennessee Trac-
ton Co. The distance of the first
line to be built is % miles and while
the main course is outlined, the ex-
act route connecting the several
towns is yet to be determined by
the surveys and by the reception
given to the promoters along the
proposed routes.
A trolley linein front of a mans
door adds greatly to the value of his
farm and the company does not eX
pect to pay for the privilege of ben
citing farm lands. On the other
hand the inducements offered will
largely influence the route, as the
country is level and the road can be
built over any part of it.
Mr.. Van den Burg is connected
with the same company that is build
ing a line of 46 miles from Glasgow
to Lincoln Farm, in Larue county.
The local people interested in the
new enterprise are M. c. Forbes,
Prest. Forbes Mfg. Co.; Sam Frank
