formerly or 1t does now. But there
is one place where no substitute seems
to be possible for wood, and that 10
the railrod roadbed, says the Boston
Advertiser. 1t is true that both metal
and concrete ties have been expert
mented with to certain extent but
1t Ia also true that neither Of these
has. attained the position Of OF salts
factory substitute For some reason
the railroad engineer prefers the old
fashioned wood kind Of ties.
This has created distinct problem
for the railroads. Ties become worn
out and need to be replaced. New
lines are laid and ties must be forth
coming. Extra tracks, on lines where
the traffic has increased, demand ties
before they demand anything else
Formerly all that was necessary was
for the engineer to make requisition
for so many ties for the department OF
construction. The ties came as easily
as could we'll be imagined, Persons
all along the road had trees which
would make up into splendid ties. Oak
and chestnut trees were excellent for
this purpose and were to be had at
very reasonable figure. But that was
before the price OF lumber went sky
ward with the rest Of the market
There was very good reason for the
price OF lumber going up. 1t was In
response to the shortness OF the sup
ply. The railroads walked up to the
fact that the supply OF ties was short.
The situation was SO critical that It
resulted In instant action on the part
of the roads They were forced to go
into forestry. Nothing else, no other
course. was open to them Today
many Of the railroads have their reser-
yations. where they are growing the
sort Of trees which they need for ties.
Put they are doing something else
which is quite as important as the
growing OF trees. They have been ma
Ting experiments In order to find out

servatlve treatments have been adopt
ed. and the result has been that the
life span OF ties has been increased
enormously The more expensive
woods now can be used for as much
as twenty-five years If the preserva-
five treatment accomplishes what Is
,ypected Of it. The life of the less ex-
ensive varieties has also been In
ereased, It is thought that the life
II the reIlroad tie has been trIpled by
he various means of preservation
which have been adopted.
The whole matter shows how the
railroads are being constantly called
ipon to solve new problems and how
successful they are in finding ways out
Of difficult situations II also goes to
how that II men will only keep on ex
rerimenting and hoping they will find
way out of many seemingly impos-
sible situation.

WANTED LAND TO PROTECT
cITY's WATER SUPPLY
sheriff's Jury Called Today TO Con-
denim Land Prevented From Making
Lines Were Endangered by High
Watsr-To be Tried in District Court

Judge Nichols today issued tenn
porary injunction against the city Of
Marshalltown preventing the con-
domination of the I. N. Long property
on the North Center street road. Mr..
Long has asked that the injunction
be made permanent. Notices Of the
action were filed this morning on the
mayor. the members Of the city coun-
Gill; the sheriff, and the county clerk.
This proceeding halted the work of a
sheriffs Jury which was to have met
today to condemn the property and
make an appraisment of the land.
Would Protect Water Supply.
Action looking toward condemna-
ton proceedings was started by the
city as a means Of protecting the city
water supply, but Mr.. Long has OPP
posed the action from it's inception.
It was the purpose Of the city to
have the land condemned and price
placed upon it by the board Of ap-
pra!sers, acting as sheriff's Jury.
The city holds to the opinion that the
flood water endangers the city's pipe
line and the only way to prevent this
would be to possess about eighteen
acres Of the Long property and take
steps necessary to fully protect the
water system.
The petition for permanent In
junction against the city's acquisition
Of the property will come up later IN
the district court.

Original Lost Seal of the
Co1federacy O1u1,ed Here?

Joseph Orpin, city employe for the
past two or three years, and we'll
known among city officials and en-
ployes as collector Of old and rare
books, manuscripts. etc, has in his
possession what is believed to be the
long lost seal of the southern confed-
eracy. The great seat Of the lost cause
disappeared shortly after the close Of
the civil war. but has appeared from
time to time in the possession Of vari-
Gus collectors but has always proved
to be bogus. Mr.. Orpin, however, has
documentary proof that he has in his
possession the original seal.
Two Seals in Existence.
Last May the great seal was dis
covered. and an effort will be made to
have 1t identified by the English max
ers. and returned to the city Of Rich
mond. according to press dispatches.
At that time 1t was stated that Eppa
Hunton, Jr., William H. White, and
Thomas P. Bryan had secured the seal.
It was described as Of silver, sur
mounted by heavy ivory handle and
enclosed in leather box and that in
wooden box, both Of which were
said to be the genuine enclosures in
which the seal came from its makers.
orpin Seal Of Copper.
The Orpin seal is identical with the
one now in Richmond except that It is
made Of copper. imbedded in a leaden
plate. Otherwise the descriptions Of
the two seals are Identical Mr.. Or
pin discovered the seal in Springfield.
Mo-, in 1908. It bears marks Of service
and has undoubtedly been used fire.
quently in official work
Mr.. Orpin also has in his possession
an official letter addressed to ~.
Raumgarten. Eneraver." by Burton
N. Harrison, private secretary OF JEFF
ferson Davis. president of the con-
federacy. in which he mentions the
presidents wishes in regard to the de-
sign of the seal.
Mystery Of Confederate Seal.
The seal Of the confederacy has been
shrouded in mystery for fifty years. 1t
was alleged last May that the story OF
the removal OF the seal from Rich
mord, and its preservation thru many
years. with every person acquainted
with its whereabouts pledged to Sc
crecy by the most solemn Masonic
oath, had been unearthed from the
voluminous records OF the library Of
congress-, and the seal Itself was To-
Gated in the possession Of Rear Adj
miral Thomas o. Selfridge. U. S. N.
He readily agreed, SO the story goes.
to cart with it for a consideration, and
permit OF it's return to Richmond.
Clerk Saves Great Seal.
It Is further alleged that the seal
was taken from Richmond on the
evacuation Of the rebel army by Will
liam ]. Bromwell, a clerk in the con-
federate state department, or his wife.

The papers were sold to the govern

and received the papers at Hamilton,
Ont. In recognition OF his services
Colonel Pickett presented the seal to
Admiral sefridge, who has since had
it in charge.
Sends Seal to Makers.
In disposing of the seal Admiral
Seltridge gave the buyers letter GER
flying to its genuineness and Offering
the purchasers a period Of eighteen
months to make every test before the
transaction was finally closed. The

street, London" Embedded in the sill

emblens with the initials u. s. W."
Believes Seal Genuine.
Mr.. Orpin believes fully that the
seal in his possession was made for
and used by the confederate govern
ment. In fact he has documentary evil
dence that it was used at the seat Of
the confederate government for
stamping official documents.
Mr. Orpin is not inclined to doubt
the genuineness of the Selfridge seal.
but there are many strange features Of
the story Of It's manufacture and its
disappearance and recovery that have
not been satisfactorily explained.
The Inscriptions on the seals are
identical, the work Is the same and
the only difference Is in the metals
used in their manufacture. The letter

whom it is believed made the Orpin
seal, and not to the firm credited with
having made the Selfridge seal.
May Have Been Two Seals.
Mr.. Orpin explains the discovery Of
the Selfridge seal in that there may
have been two seals used by the con-
federacy. or perhaps more than that
number At any rate he is satisfied
that he has a seal Of the confederacy
and is thoroughly convinced from evil
dences in his possession that he has
the original seal. Mr.. Orpin Is making
thorough investigation and has taken
the matter up with many conversant
with the history Of the confederate
seal, who have assured him that he has
in his possession the original seal OF
the confederacy.
Owns Many Rare Books.
Mr.. Orpin owns many other treas
urer aside from the confederate seal,
possessing many rare old books on
various subjects. wa: relics, old manu-
scripts. early day newspapers. and
curios Many Of these treasures have
come down to him from past genera
tions Of the Orpin family and others
have been acquired by purchase.
