Which End Of
a Fence Post
Should Be Up

1t is a very common belief among
farmers that post will last longer II
set in the ground the reverse of the
way it grew in the tree, in other
words, with the butt end up, Accor-
dinghy, one sees many posts, especial
ly end and gate posts, with the small
end down. The supposition is that,
sap in tree is always ascending. or
at least that 1t Is easier for the sap
to go up than down. Consequently
it is argued, turning post upside
down tends to prevent the rise of
water, helps to keep the wood dry
and therefore renders it less liable
to decay. AS a matter of fact, sap or
water can flow in either direction
with equal facility and the popular
notion to the contrary is incorrect.
Careful experiments on the rela-
tive durability of post timebers have
been made by the Ohio agricultural
experiment station and the above
question was considered. One fence
in particular contained 1876 black To-
Gust posts, of which SO were set with
the top end up, 80 with the top end
down, and 81 did not show in what
position they were set. At the end
of 20 years 80 posts, or 10 per cent,
were decayed. OF this number Is
were top up, 10 top down, and unde-
termined. In other Words one third
Of those set top down rotted off, as
compared with only little over one
sixth of those set top up. From this
and numerous other observations the
conclusion was reached chat theretis
no difference which end is put in th&~
ground, except that the sounder or
larger end should have the prefer
ence."
The decay of post is mostly at
the ground line, since it is there that
the conditions as to air and moisture
are most favorable to the develop
ment of rot-causing fungi. Other
things beign equal, the larger the
post the longer it will last. Invert-
ing post often means putting the
small end in the ground, and where
this is done the time required to rot
it off is less than where the big end
Is down. If both ends are equally
sound the larger should go in the
ground. If one end is defective it
should be up, since the conditions
above ground ae many times more
favorable to durability than just at
or below the ground line.

close attention to many of the valu-
able tracts of land along the right
of way of the Short Line, which
branch his company built out from
Blackfoot to Mackay.
If Bondholders Bid
When he was asked the question as
to whether the Utah Construction
company was to complete the Big
Lost project if the Corey Bros. Sc
cured it at the receier's sale, Mr.
Clinton, the receiver, said he had
nothing to say on that subject at
present. He said the sale of the prop
erty would be held during the week
between Christmas and New Year on
the courthouse steps at Haley Ida.
He said he did not think theer would
be any further delay. If there was
any delay, Mr.. Clinton said, it would
come from the bondholders, who have
a right to bid more than what the
Corey claim and Judgment is and
take the property. The bondholders
would have to satisfy the Corey
judgment. The first mortgage bonds
on the property amount to $1,378,-
500, and the second mortgage bonds
are for 100000. The Corey judg-
ment is for 100000.
Ready to Begin Work
When the Corey Bros. bid in the
property they will be ready to begin
work Immediately to finish the pro-
ject. This was the positive assur-
ance of both Messers. Henderson and
Corey when they left Boise Friday
night for Ogden. The backing for
the project, 1t is said, will not only
include the Utah Construction COM
pany, concern that was financed byl
the late David Eccles, but also by
W. H. and e. o. Watts, M. s. |
Browning and ]. M. Browning, Adam
Patterson and Joseph Scowcraft, all
Of Ogden. It is said to be the pur-
pose Of the Corey Bros. Construc-
ton company to have company

and take over the project, acquire

say that the money has been secured
by us, and when the property is sold
at the receivers sale we will be on
hand to bid it in and will have the
money ready to go ahead with the
work. I might add that it was not
necessary for us to go east for the
money: in fact we did not have to
go outside the internountain coun-
try.
Politics has played far too promi-
nent part in the Big Lost River pro-
ject, and the time has come when
they should not be permitted to inter-
fere any further. If politics contin-
ues to play such part in the devel-
opment matters of this kind, it is
small wonder that capital may be
prevented from investing in the
state.

Interested In
BigLost River

That the Utah Construction COM
Pany of Ogden, Utah, after the first of
the year or soon after the receivers
sale of the Big Lost River project will
go ahead for the Corey Bros. Con-
struction company and complete the
work before next fall is the probable
outcome of the long standing litiga-
ton in the case. That this action will
follow is itimated by the announce
nent of w. w. Corey. president and
general manager of the company, and
who returned to Ogden Friday night,
after being in Boise two days with
H. H. Henderson, counsel for his
company.
The intimation has been further
conveyed by the fact that Corey and
Henderson, together with James E.
Clinton, the receiver of the project.
w. H. Watts, president and general
manager of the Utah Construction
company and brotheri n-law of Co
rey, and Carl Stradley, chief engineer
for the Oregon Short Line, paid Wis
it TO the Big Lost River project
about three weeks ago and spent
three days going over the project
completely.
Utah Constructor Company.
The Utah Construction company.
the largest firm of railroad contrac-
tors in North America, with head
quarters at Ogden, Utah, and with a
capital stock of $4,000, 900, and with
branch offices at San Francisco, Port
land, Vale, Ore, Salt Lake Denver
and a number of other places, has re-
GENTLY turned its attention to other
fields in addition to the building of
railroads. They closed deal recently
whereby they acquired the holdings
Of the Vineyard Land & Livestock |
company in Nevada, paying nearly |
$1,5OO,O00 for the property. This !
property was originally the Sparks
Herrold ranch and lies along the Ida
ho-Nevada boundary line for dis
lance of more than 100 miles, and |
about IS miles in width. For the
most part the Utah Construction COM
pany will use the ranch to range the
$4,000 head of horses the company
has, as well as for an auxiliary stor-
age plant for its extensive supply of
steam shovels, dummy engines and
ears and bulky material now in use
in building double track and grade
over the Sierre Nevada mountains
for the Southern Pacific.
Ready for Big Things
In addition to their large Nevada
holdings, it is said the Utah concern
has acquired within the past six
months extensive areage in Idaho,
much of which is near and on the
Big Lost River project tract. Presi-
dent Watts began with the company
more than Is years ago, when they
began the improvement work for the
Oregon Short Line. Since then he has
seen the wonderful growth and posi-
bilities for Idaho if put under water.
1t is said that during his trip to Ida
no about three weeks ago he paid

land and loan money to the farmers
to complete and stock their ranches,
upon long time and easy payments,
following up the plan as laid down
by the government in its reclama-
ton work. This company will prob
ably carry the richest men in Titan
and Idaho as its officers and direct
ors.
Out Politics Out
Practically a complete confirma-
ton of the proposed plans of the Or
ganization of the new company and of
the Corey Brothers intention to
complete the project was practically
confirmed by Judge H. H. Henderson
counsel for the company. Before leav
ing for Ogden Judge Henderson said:
when I say we have not been mac
tive about the raising of the money
to complete the project, I mean to
