LODdEP0L.E Pine
EXCELLER FOR

HAS ALMOST THE DURABILITY or
RED cEDaR; USED BY TELE-
PHONE LINES

..
Lodgepole Pine, Of which there are
abundant staads in. both the Rocky
Mountain and coast ranges, VIXEN
treated with preservatives ought to
serve In the place of red cedar as a
pole timber, says the department Of
agriculture In a bulletin just issued
on Rocky Mountain woods for tele-
phone poles.
The rapid extension of telephone
and power lines in the west is maxi
ing the question Of pole supply one
of increasing Importance. Western
red cedar, for long the standard pole
timber Of the western states, grows
only in Washington, Oregon, and
northern Idaho, ard in the states
south of that region its cost is high,
owing to the great distance over which
II must be transported, IN addition,
the heavy drain on the supply prom
lses to result in Increasingly higher
prices.
The tendency Of lodgepole pine to
decay rapidly when iii contact with
the ground has so far kept 1t out Of
the field as competitor Of the cedar.
according to the department, but the
general adoption of preservative
treatment by railroad anu telephone
companies changes the situation. at
an additional cost for treatment that
still leaves the pine pole the cheaper
Of the two in most markets outside
the cedar region, states the depart
ment, the pine may be made to last
longer than untreated cedar Tests
carried on at the forest service labor
atory also showed lodgepole pine to
be as strong as the cedar, if not ac-
tually stronger
Fire-killed lodgepole pine Of which
there is a vast quantity in the Rocky
Mountain region, showed a strength
under test so per cent that of live
red cedar In elastic values, the two
were practically equal, and in stiff
ness, fire-klled lodgepole pine is quite
comparable to the cedar The pre-
iudice against he use of fire-killed
material is a mistaken one, says the
department, for there is no inherent
difference in wood seasoned on the
stump and wood cut when green and
then seasoned. On many areas such
material remains entirely sound for d
number of years after the fire which
killed it and besides Is thoroughly sea
soned and thus ready for preservative
treatment as soon as cut.
Engelmann, spruce is another Rocky
Mountain tree which the department
suggests might be used for poles. 1T

nor does 1t take preservative treat
ment as well, but 1t grows farther
south, and in many districts is the
only local timber available for pole
use.

Judge Laeornbe decided that two
years time, smile and a bunch Of

in the contour Of the figure Of a
beautiful girl who poses in nothing
else than said smile and bunch Of
cherries.
In affirming the decision Of the low

Yvette DeMar. model posed as
Cherry Ripe was an infringement Of
another picture Of Miss DeMar, known
as eThe Grace Of Youth. whose copy

Two years later the same model In

that the young woman now wears a
smile and holds a stem Of cherries in
her teeth The model inf one is sed-
ate, IN the other smiling. Moreover
the young woman was two years older
and some silght changes In the con
