Negro Woman Found Dead

The train crew on passenger train NO
6 Saturday morning discovered negro
woman on the side track dead about
two miles west of Welsh. The Coroner
was summoned and it was found that
both arms and one leg were broken and
a considerable cut on the back part OF
the head, There is no clue to the
woman's name or her former home.
She was seen on the previous day by
parties wondering through the neigh
borhood asking for water. One party
found her lying on the roadside in the
sun and when asked what she meant
she merely answered that she was rest
ing.
Later a section crew discovered her
standing On the track just as train No
1O2 came along. They screamed to her
to get off the track but she seemed to
hesitate and remained near enough to
the rail SO that it is supposed the eng
inc struck her causing her death.
The Coroner's Jury returned a verde
of suicide. The Railroad Company
took up the body and buried it on the
right of way just west of Welsh.

housewives who are efficient in some
one or other of the domestic arts. such
as the making of cake, the baking of
bread, the serving of luncheons and
dinners. Under this cooperative plan
the school girls have the advantage of
the various recipes and methods; also
of the varied instruction the advo-

Under the ordinary plan the domestic

Great Salt Lake
Perfect PreSerVa=
tive of Timbers.
(From the Forest Service, L.
Department Of Agricultural

Department Of Agriculture)
In replacing a railroad trestle re-
Gently burned along the north shore
of Great Salt Lake. engineers have
Just found that the piles are still per-
fectly sound after 43 years of service.
Looking for the cause. since these
were only of local pine and fir, they
found the timbers were impregnat-
ed throughout with salt from the lake.
At another point on the lake, 1s-inch
piles, set 20 years, are similarly pre-
served with salt which has penetrated
to their very center. Timbers in the
Southern Pacific trestles across Salt
Lake, placed in 1902, appear to be as
good as on the day when the piles
were driven. They have been preserv-
ed well above the water line by the
salt dashed on to them by the waves,
fact apparently anticipated by the
engineers who built the trestles.
|, The first transcontinental telegraph
line, built before the railroad, extend
ed west from Salt Lake City through
the prosperous mining camps of Eu-
reka, Austin and Virginia City. When
the railroad was built, the telegraph
line was transferred to follow its right
of way and the old poles sawed off
at the ground. An engineer who re-
Gently examined the butts left in the
ground in the salt desert near Fish
Springs found that, although fifty
years had passed since the poles were
cut off, the old, butts were perfectly
sound
81 vi nj in
the Salt Lake valley have used the
local salt for preserving poles. When
set up, about rs pounds of salt is
placed around the pole on the ground.
This method can not be used, how
ever, when the pole is on or near
lawn. or in any place where vegeta-
ton is desired.
1t is pointed out that the reason
why the waters of Salt Lake act AS
strong preservative, as distinguish
ed from ocean waters, is because the
lake water is so much saltier, being
practically a saturate solution. Pres
ervation with salt is of no use in
ocean piling against the attack or
teredos and other marine borers.
Experts in the forest service who
have been investigating the preserva-
tive treatment of timber offer the sug-
gestion that ties and poles which have
been immersed for some time in the
waters of the lake ought to be imper-
vious to decay if the salt is not leach
ed out by the action of the elements.
1t has been suggested that this can
/ be guarded against. for example, by
painting the butt of the pole with
coat of creosote which will keep out
| the moisture and keep in the salt.

This Judge a "Joke."
(New York Telegram.)

When Louis D. Gibbs, at the age OF
thirty-three, was elected County Judge
in the Bronx at the last election. the
elation of his friends was only offset
by the indignation of the old line or
ganization regulars Of all parties; soil
ed and shopworn politicians vaguely
referred to by the machine as "digni-
fed and experienced lawyers"
But the new judge modestly took his
seat and went to work quietly enforc-
ing the law as he found it, entirely I'M
moved by the pressure sought to be
used on him by the one-time bosses
AS a result there has been one acquit-
tai out of forty-nine indictments, and
the sentences have not been farcical
ones, the Court being impervious to
sob stuff
THAT boy" as Judge Giggs was
sneeringly referred to, will be joke,
was prophesied.
And he is--the biggest joke ever
played on the politicians Of all sides
