After Indicting Them for Ex-

Up or Apologize.

Washington. March 1.-THE ag-

better" in expending public funds.
declared Senator Thomas today
THE treasury is coming to be regard
ed as a fountain OF mercy, reachable
by all, largely through the agency of
the senate" he added. "The Balti-
more platform indicted the Republi-

Either that indictment was true or it
was not. If it was true we should
not follow their practice. If it was
not we owe an apology to the Re-
publican party.
I'm that connection let me say the
total of appropriations for this year
will be $1OO,00O,O0O greater than for
any other year in our history" said
Senator Smoot. Senator Overman

and Senator Smoot said if it should
not prove true he would be glad to
have his attention called to the fact

Found to Be Perfectly Sound
After Many Years.
AFTER YEARS OF EXPERIMENT
The Forest Service Announces
Important Discovery.
Means Much to Railroad and
Telegraph Companies.

Washington, March 11.-Experts Of
the forest service have discovered that
the waters of the Great Salt Lake act
as a preservative against decay in tim
bers. For years they have been con-
Quoting experiments to find a treat
ment that would preserve telegraph
poles and railroad ties. AS the result
of recent Investigations it has been
found that timbers taken from the
Great Salt Lake were perfectly sound,
although they had remained In those
waters for many years. In replacing
a railroad trestle recently burned
along the north shore of Great Salt
Lake, it was found that the piles were
still perfectly sound after forty-three
years of service. In looking for the
cause. since the piles were only of
local pine and fir. it was discovered
that the timbers were impregnated
with salt.
At another point of the lake, eigh-
teen inch piles set 25 years ago were
similarly preserved with salt. Trestle
timbers placed across the lake in 1902
apparently are as good as when the
piles were driven. Other instances
are given. one in particular, where the
timber having remained in the lake
for SO years was In perfect state of
preservation.
It is pointed that the reason why the
waters of the salt lake acted as q
strong preservative. as distinguished
from ocean waters. is because the lake
water is much saltier, being practically
a Saturate solution.
Forest experts suggest that ties and
poles immersed in these waters ought
to be impervious to decay IL the salt

WHAT Is NEEDED IN OFFICE OF
COMMISSIONER OF AGRIcUL-
TURE AND LABOR IN NORTH
DAKOTA Is A MAN WHO UN-
DERSTANDs ALL CONDITIONS.

There are a few things needed in
the office of the commissioner Of
agriculture n labor in North Dako-
ta," said A. E. Hutchinson Of Mime
waukon, candidate for the republican
nomination for that office at the pri-
maries a week from tomorrow, as he
greeted a number of friends here at
the Gardner hotel today.
He must be a farmer in the first
place." continued Mr.. Hutchinson.
He must know much about agricul-
ture. He must know a lot about
dairying. He must have some expert
ence in immigration. He must be
able to cope with the labor situation
as 1t has to do with an agricultural
state. He must have a knowledge
of the kind of publicity to give the
state, for uIon that depends largely
his success. And this is all based on
his knowledge Of farming.
above all things he must be fair
and impartial, SO that every commun-
ity will get an equal benefit from his
work"
Mr.. Hutchinson's friends say he
measures up to all these requirements
and is proficient in them all. He is
making a vigorous campaign over the
state and the outcome of his race will
be interesting for many to watch.
