Contract For Million Ties.


 Norfork, Nov. 1.-The tie contract of the Iron Mountain & Southern Railorad was let last week to the Central Tie Compa- ny of St. Louis, a large concern that deals exclusively in ties. The contract was for the years l9l l-l3. All the subcontract0rs on the White River Division that handled the output last year will handle the new con- tracts for the company. The White River division this year will put out more than 1000. 900 ties, the largest number ever turned off the division.
 The railroad tie business as handled by the big railroad com panles is through an enlisted ar my of hundreds, all skilled in their various lines of work. The contract for certain territory is let first to one big firm that has the money to swing the busi- ness. Immediately after the contract is let they start to en- list their army, which consists of subcontractors, timber buy CTS and tie hackers. The sub contractors then appoint con tractors under them. These are mostly small merchants and business men who live and do business in the small towns along the railroads or in proXirn- ity to the rivers. From the tree to the track many assist in help- ing the tie along. First, the timber buyer buys the tree, then comes the tie hacker, who works it up. After this comes the hauler, who puts it on the railroad or river bank. If on the river, next comes the binders, who make them into rafts. Then the raftsmen. At the first river railroad point they are drawn and placed on a yard. The in- spector then comes along and puts funny little characters on them that look like Chinese writing, which only a tie man can interpret, which give them their respective grades. Next, they are shipped to the division superintendent on the road where they are to be laid ,and he in turn scatters them over the division. The tie leaves the tree worth from 5 to 10 cents a cut and winds up in the track worth from 50 to 75 cents, according to the market. There are approx imately a thousand people en- gagged in the tie business in it's various divisions in the White River country.

Scientists Have Failed to
Prove That We Are
immortal

The scientists have not discov-
cred that we are NOT immortal,
but have simply failed to dis
cover that we ARE immortal;
and there is no reason why they
should not have failed, for the
mind, the immortal part of us,
if there be any immortal part,
is not a matter than scientists
have any concern with or any
special qualification or equip
ment for investigating.
A man who knows one thing
with considerable thoroughness
is liable to imagine that large
value, therefore, attaches to his
opinion upon other matters,
however distinct they may be
from the particular subject upon
which he is specially informed.
That states the precise condi-
ton Of mind of certain investi-
gators who have accomplished
distinguished results in their
study of matter, and who. there
fore, consider that they are au-
thorities upon questions of mind,
spirit and Immortality. Which is
as unreasonable as for a matfle-
matical genius to claim that be-
cause he is an adept in questions
Of quantity his opinion should
therefore carry in problems of
art.
What has Just been said is
stated, only in different words,
by one of the most distinguished
scientists of our generation, Sir
Oliver Lodge, a man of such
eminence as to have been elected
to the presidency of the British
association, a body which may
be defined as the organized sci-
entifc intelligence of the British
empire
Sir Oliver, whose accomplish

All was still save the musics soft throbbing
And the Tilt of their light falling feet,
Till the strains of the Zenda died sobbing
And he led her away to her seat
They had danced their old waltz and departed;

And the ball became stylish once more
But through tears that / hastily banished

Address Is Practically q
Rebuke to His Col
leagues

The address is practically re-
buke to some of his colleagues
for failing to realize that mind
is not matter, and that so es-
sential is the difference between
them that the pursuit OF scien-
tifc methods Of inquiry will not
carry them into the region of the
mind, and that for them to deny
the existence of world above
matter, because they have been
able to achieve SO much in the
world that is within matter with
out discovering in it a soul or
God, is a bare presumption and
the exercise Of intellectual arro-
ganee.
Such a deliverance from so
great an authority Is serious
matter, and | wish the readers
of this newspaper would give
earnest attention to the contents
of this article, for it has been
written with view Of rebuking
and correcting the carelessness
and thoughNess thinking of
which there is so much, even
among intelligent people, and
that, too, in regard TO questions
that are of the utmost moment.
1t would not be fair to the
truth nor to Sir Oliver Lodge
to close this article without add
ing that while he has not arrived
at his convictions, regarding
things which eye hath not seen,
by the pursuit Of scientific meth
DDS, he is, nevertheless, and on
other grounds, a firm believer in
the great invisible world and in
the God who is enthroned in it,
as Is evidenced by the two sub
joined quotations from his SUI
perb address:
1T is my function to remind
you and myself that our studies
do not exhaust the universe, and
that if we dogmatize in a mega
tive direction and say that we
can reduce everything to physics
and chemistry, we gibbet our
selves as ludicrously narrow
pedants, and are falling far short
of the richness and fullness OF
our human birthright.
"How far preferable is the
reverent attitude of the eastern
poet:
"'The world with eyes bent
upon thy feet stand in awe with
all its silent stars.
1--WE are deaf and blind, there
fore, to the imminent grandeur
around us unless we have in
sight enough to appreciate the
whole and to recognize in the
woven fabric of existence, flow
ing steadily from the loom in
an infinite progress toward per-
lection, the ever growing gar
ment of transcendent God"
The San Francisco call., 1913-10-02

not thereby been brought across
the frontier of the territory of
mind and consciousness; that the
principles and methods appli-
cable to the study of matter do
not apply to questions of soul
and religion, SO that the mega
tive attitude which a scientist,
as such, may occupy as toward
soul, God and Immortality has
no bearing pro or contra upon
the question of the existence of
the soul, of God and of irnmor-
tality.
All Of this the president of the
British association has recently
stated frankly and developed in
detail in his presidential address
delivered before that body.

Within forty days, probably, theye

Route.
The railroad has already decided 10
establish stations at Ernestville, Flor

Muscogee, in Florida, which Traffic
Manager G. C. Willings has named
Tenile. The name was settled upon
but yesterday. There is switch
there now which is known in the
offices of the Deep Water Route as
mile switch"
From that the name was taken. Mr..
Willings combining the words ten
mile" and striking out the I'm" for
purposes of brevity and smoothness,
as well as to give the place pretty
name. The proper effect in this re-
spect was gotten by giving the ''f" a
long ''e" sound, as though "Tenele."
Under the law thirty days must
elapse between notification of the In
terstate Commerce Commission that
thece is to be new stop and the
filing of tariffs to the time when they
become recognized stations.
AS notification has hardly reached
the commission it will be a month OF
mere before the places are listed and
trains stop regularly.
All will be hag-stops except Pine
Forest, which is Holy Roller COM
munity and camping grounds. There is
quite town there and in summer Its
population mounts to between -four
and five thousand, most of whom gc
there for the annual convention of tho
Holy Rollers. Pine Forest is 4s miles
from this city and A. A. Ward will
have charge Of the passenger and
freight business at depot to be pu,
up there.
The decision to establish the new
station came as the result of petitions
sent into the railroad company by
residents at the respective points af-
fected.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The feature OF
the tariff revision program of the ex-
ira session of congress may include
the raising of one hundred million dol
lars from the income tax, including the
corporation tax. as a part of the three
hundred and nine million dollar basis
Of revenue from the tariff. A bill will
soon be introduced to provide such a
course.
It will be considered in connection
with the income tax amendment. Near
ly enough states have ratified it to
make it law, but in case of failure.
the excise tax plan will be renewed
as an extension of the corporation tax
law.
The ways and means committee to-
day finished hearings on the wool
schedule and will take up the last OF
the schedules known as 'sundries'' to-
morrow. It is believed that the wool re-
vision plans will be the same as in the
recent democratic bills.
