RECORD YEAR
IN PRESERVING
OF OUR TIMBER
Last Year is Shown by Report
Recently Issued by Wood
Preservers' Body.
tspEetAL 10 THl TELEaRAn,

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 30
The most notable progress yet re-
corded in the chemical treatment OF
timber to prevent decay was made
in 1913. according to report recent
ly issued by the American Wood
Preservers' Association in co-opera-
ton with the forest service of the
Department of Agriculture.
The report states that ninety
three wood-preserving plants in 1913
consumed over los million gallons OF
creosote oil, 26 million pouns of dry
zinc chloride, and nearly four million
gallons Of other liquid preservatives.
With these the plants treated over
1853 million cubic feet of timber, or
about 20 per cent more than in 1912.
The output from additional plants
unrecorded would increase the totals
given.
Oils Are Used.
importation of wood with oils
and chemicals to increase its resist
ance to decay and insect attack, the
report goes on to say, is an industry
which has become important in the
United States only in recent years
In Great Britain and most OF the
European countries practically every
wooden cross-tie and telephone or
telegraph pole receives rreservative
treatment. In the United States less
than 80 per cent of the 1876 million
cross-ties annually consumed are
treated, and the proper treatment of
an annual consumption Of four mil
lion poles may be said to have
scarcely COMMENDED.
Real Progress.
Real progress in the United States
dates from 1882, when the Kyanizing
process, using bichlorides of mercury,
was developed. In 1887 two other
processes were introduced, the Bur
nett process using zinc chloride, and
the Bethel process using coal tar
creosote. These last processes are
very largely in use today.
The idea of timber preservation at
first made very slow growth in this
country, on account of the large sup
ply Of cheap and durable tiEnbers
and the general disregard shown to-
ward economy in the use of natural
resources. In 1885 there were only
three pressure plants in the United
States; and in 1895 only Is. Since
then. however, the industry has
grown rapidly; in 1913 there were
1T plants.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

is the way he puts it, far the poverty part is
concerned:
Neither has liquor any substantial connection with pow
ery The main of poverty monopoly the saloon
Responsibility for poverty the Standard OIL United
States Steel Coal Trust the people who have taken the EARTH
issued stocks and bonds upon the earth shut op
portunities for the poor for employment.
1t may or may not be true that the Standard Oil,
the United States Steel has done what Mr. barrow
claims that they have done. We hold no brief to de
fend them
But the Whisky Trust and the brewery corpora
lions whom Mr.. barrow represented in this contest
have followed precisely the and then
The liquor monopolists not only take the laboring
mans job, but they take his health, his honor and
his life
AS the record stands, Mr. barrow merely repre-
sened monopoly defending its right to skin the
people, on the theory that if his monopoly did skin
them, some other monopoly would get them.

dog was by far the meanest of the pack.

Caps and Gowns

The other day, in university town, the senior
class members boys and girls, put their caps and
gowns for the first time, and thus alfred attended
chapel exercises.
This particular senior class composed of
bright boys and girls, who just completing
long and tedious college Their education has
been matter of grave concern, OF much expense of
sleepess nights and days of unremtng toll, only
their part, but the part of their parents.
The college authorities and the denomination which
is back of the college, have been just as anxious and
concerned have the class members and the parents.
Previous to their entrance into college, these
young people received common and high school
education at the expense of the state.
Perhaps the average age of the class members is
twenty-one. Thus they have spent third of their
probable life in preparing for lifes work In
cases. they will go into special work, which will
take from two to four years longer.
These young folks will be power for good or for
evil; will live useful, happy, profitable lives they
will sink into the depths of sothfulness inquity and
vice Perhaps few of them may descend
greater depth than that of mediocrity.
But society," having been put to expense, anxiety
and concern has right to expect nothing but good
to come from these lives.
Not the college and the college
are exempt from evil Influences The saloon and the
brothel demand their toll of human life 1t matters
not to these vultures from whom that toll is taken
What pity if only one boy in all the senior boys
of America wrecks his life in the saloon! What
tragedy if one senior girls virtue becomes merchan-
disc or if her fe though pure and spotess ITSELF is
made hell earth by being tied to the life of
senior boy who has become victim of liquor!
