BREAK DELAYS
!, BEGINNING Of
! CREOSOTEPLANT
New Plant Was to Have Begun
peratiOn On Middle of
August.
: ENGINES GOVERNOR BROKE.
Orders Have Already Been PIac-
ed For Work-Effort made to
Rush Plant into Operation
Day For Public Visit Will Be
Arranged-Plant Has Big Ca
pacity.
ENGINES GOVERNOR BROKE.

A break in the machinery at the
Creosoting Plant yesterday morning
will delay the beginning of the plants
operation for week or more, accord
ing to statement given out in the
afternoon by General Manager G. C.
Montgomery.
1t was the intention of the manager
to have the plant begin its operation
on August Is. Some time ago the
president asked the manager if it
would be possible to begin work on
the first of August. Getting a mega
tive answer he then asked if work
could be begun on August 10. Orders
have already been placed with the
company for material to be creosoted
and an effort is being made to rush
the plant to completion.
"The construction is ninety per
gent done" said the manager yester-
ay. "All Of it will be completed as
Nsoon as possible. The plant will be
operating before or by September 1.
it is not known just how long the
break in the machinery will delay us. "
The governor on the engine was the
part of the machinery which was
broken. The break leaves all the
other parts idle as the power cannot
be used.
The creosoting plant here which
was recently taken over by the Ameri-
can Creosoting Company is one of the
largest in the country. 1t is two
cylinder plant. Its capacity for treat
ing cross-ties will be between $50 and
200 thousand per month.
1t was stated yesterday by the man
ager that if the public likes to inspect
the plant and see it in operation he
will be glad to arrange for day that
the public may go through the whole
plant and be shown and told about its
process. The day for this visit by the
public will be announced later when
the plant is ready to open work full
blast.

eel his route until conditions changed, no official verif1cation of these state ments could be obtained yesterday from officials and such an act is con sidered unlikely even though salaries are treb1ed. The principle reason as signed to keeping the show in motion is the fact that never in the history of showdom has business been so good. It is asserted that if condi- tions in the Middle West and West are equal to those in the East the Bar mum show will be the first to make the nine ten pole jump, thereby in creasing seating capacity by about 5000 persons.
 Reports that accident threatened to the big tent yesterday afternoon when an entrance pole is said to have loosened from its base were derided by showmen yesterday who pointed out the necessity for tent-top flashing, which makes collapse of the tent inn possible unless precipitate accident to more than five of the main poles should occur at once.
