WOOD or THE RED GUM.
Whom Properly Treated II Makes a
Valuable Timber.


Acting in concert with some of the
largest lumber dealer in this country,
the United States forestry service took
up the matter Of the red gum lumber
Of the southern states in the endeavor
to acqult 1t Of the charges which had
been made against 1t. II has long
been regarded as one Of the most beau
tiful of the woods Of this country, but
its behavior in use was not all that
could be asked for. 1t was known to
split and warp in such q manner that
1t was never made use Of except for
temporary purposes. Even for this
there was very little of 1t cut. The
results Of the investigation and expert
ment which ensued was that 1t was
learned that If the wood were proper
ly treated 1t could be relied on just as
much as any Of the more favorably
known woods. 1t was discovered that
the wood must be treated a little diff
ferently In piling and drying and that
a double drying process was necessary.
That is, after being reduced to boards
1t should stand in the air for one year
and then be given an additional treat
ment in the kiln. In this manner the
wood was deprived Of nearly all of It's
water content. In its green condition
It weighs 4.750 pounds per 1000 feet
while after the double drying treat
ment 1t weighs $500 pounds. Red
gum that weighs 1-3 pounds per foo
will be found entirely trustworthy a:
far as its future conduct is concern
ed. 1t will not twist. warp or crack
When cut 1t has the appearance o.
mahogany or birch and is capable O.
being treated with almost any OF thu
wood stains in use.

.SEWERING IN
SOUTH AMB0Y
Favor Separate Outlet for
MechanicsviIIe Section.
spscto, TO the EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy, Oct. 17:-Consider-
able speculation is being INDUCED
in by our citizens as to the Mechan-
icsville section OF the sanitary sewer.
The fact that q pumping station Is
necessary In connection Herewith is
not understood by some and is per-
haps quite properly thought to be a
bill OF expense that should, If at all
possible be overcome.
The main sewer of the Mechanics
vile section will, as we understand
it, pass along Ridgeway yenue and
as the natural slope Of the ground
Is towards the bay it naturally fol
lows that a pumping station will be
required to pump the sewage back
up Raritan street to Ridgeway ave-
nue.. This means as other streets
parallel to Raritan street are devel-
oped additional pumping stations
win be required.
The logical solution OF this prob
lem Is a continuation of the sewer
down Raritan street across the prop
perty of the Pennsylvania railroad
and Into the river, thus making q
separate outlet for the Mechanics
vile section. This section should by
all means have a separate outlet to
take care OF future Developments in
that general section of the city,
which development is sure to come
as indicated by sShe Improvement In
the general vicinity made by the rail-
roads and trolley companies.
To drain Mechanicsville by any
other method than a separate outlet
will be very expensive and undoubt-
eddy unsatisfactory. 1t will mean
either passing through the "Hole-in-
the-Walp' or tunneiing through the
railroad embankment, and In addi-
ton the natural slope OF the ground
has to be overcome. This would APP
pear to be a very opportune time for
the municipal authorities to treat
with the railroad for a passage
through their property to the river
and the opportunity should by all
means be taken advantage of.
