I Jrowrt of Damage Done by Cumber Rot Costs Dearly Torty t
I million According to the Torest Service
Advices from thtj U. S. Forest Ser
vioo Htate that millions of feet of tim
ber and finished lumber rot every
jear in ruilroad ties, bridges, trestles,
piles, farm buildings, funceB, poles
and mine props. (The lumber consum
ing pnblic of tho United States pays,
perhaps, !)(),0()0,t)ll() to ifUUMO.OOO a
. year to make Rood tho losses from
wood deoay.
Iheso great drains are a source of
more and more concern each year.
OhomiHts and" engineers who have to
do with the uses of wood are working
unceasingly on the problem. The
United States Forest Service has men
who devote their whole time to it.
The importance of the problem cannot
be overestimated. Millions of dollars
are annually saved by preservative
treatment ol 'timbers, but mod) yet
remains to be learned.
Wood deoay is caused by fungus, a
vegetable growth sometimes so small
that it can be seen only with a micro
scope. Its loots or branches, like
minute hairs, force their way into the
wood tissues and absorb or cat away
the solid parts. The . collapse which
results is called deoay. limber ii ar
tificially preserved by forcing into its
oella and. pores certain substances
which prevent the growth of fungi.
As long as this substance is present in
sufficient Quantity, the germs of de
caythe threads and spores of fun
gus cannot enter, and the wood is
preserved. This often means doubling
and sometimes trebling the life of
timber.
The United States government con
siders the investigations of the pre
servative treatment of timber of such
importance that the business ot one
office of the United States Forest Ser
vice, that of wood preservation, with
new headquarters at Madison, Wis.,
is given over entirely to the work of
experiments in co-operation with rail
road companies and other corpora
tions and .Individuals in prolonging
the life of railroad ties, mine props,
bridge timbers, fence posts and traus
miss)on poles.
The lengthening of the life of tim
ber means the saving of thousands of
dollars annually through doing away
with the heavy espouses of labor and
cost of material for renewals.
It isnV what you make, it's what
vou save. Read Price Bros. ' ad for

INSTITUTIONS
START DAILY
Filtcen New Beds a Day Arc
Also Started for Tubercu
losis Patients
War Being Waged Against White
Plague Is Successful and Workers
Feel Encourage
During the your that has passed
since the International Congress on
Tuberculosis met at Washington, one
institution or organization for the
treatment or proven' ion of tubercu
losis has been established every day,
SundayB and holidays included, ac
cording to a bulletin of the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis. Fifteen
new beds in hospitals " or sanatoria
have beeu provided alto for every day
of the year.
A year ago the rato of increase was
one organization or institution evory
other day, only one-half as fast as
now. Less than a vearago there were
40 consumptives for every hospjtnl
bed provided. Todav tho number has
beou reduoed to 80. Nearly 20.000
bods are now provided in institutions
for the treatment of consumption, an
inorenso of over 5,600. Tho number of
special tuberculosis dispensaries in
tiie United States has more than
doubled, the number of nnti-tubercu-losiB
associations has increased 08 per
cent, and the number of hospitals
and sanatoria 43 por cent.
In one branch of anti-tuberculosis
work, particularly emphasized by the
International Congress, a sigual art
vauce has been made, that is, in the
provision ot hospital accommodations
for advanced oases. In all parts of
tho country, stte and municipal au
thorities have been urged to provide
hospitals for dangorous oases of tu
berculosis, with the result that over
(i.000 beds have beeu established in the
past year. At the present time there
are, however, only 6,000 beds, and
75,000 advanced cases which ought to
be in hospitals. Fully 75,000 ; others
could be treated at home, but it would
be safer for the community to segre
gate them in institutions Every ad
vanced case of tuberculosis is a center
from which the disease sproads, and
uuIobb the patient is taught how to
bo careful iu his habits, and unless
he lias the proper home surroundings,
ho should be in a hospital, .where he
will not be a niennce toothers.
The Notional Association for the
Studv and Prevention of Tuberculosis
declares that lonst 70,000 more beds
in hospitals are needed for advanced
cases of consumption. Until these
arejprovided, tuberculosis cannot be
wiped out. If everybody ii the
United States gave fo to provide lios
pitals for the dangerous consump'
tives, sufficient funds would be .pro
cured to destroy forever the threat of
tuberculosis from this country.
Reed Institute at Portland
After a few vears'oonsideration the
trustees of the Keed Institute have
di.ni.lnrl tn nf-iliza thn fund of .$2,000.-
000 the bequest of Amanda W. Reed,
tor the maintenance or a conege oi
arts and soeuce In Portland.
While the endowment of the Reed
Institute is now estimated to be worth
$200,OOOC,, the board is confined, by
the terms of the bequest, to the ex
penditure of not more than $1,500,000
ot the principal for site and buildings.
However, the fund is now produciug
nn annual income of about $70,000 and
there is sn accumulated- income of
about $70,000 on hand which will
make the amount available for site
and buildings approximately $300,000.
"The Reed Institute will probably
nave to start witn one ouuaiug.
Tliis wns rinne at, the Ghicaeo Uni
versity. There should be a general
plan of campus and buildings adopted
and the one building most needed
alif-iiil.1 ltn Knlnntnd mid cnmnlefced.
The general board of eduoation rec
ognizes that the nrst nooa or an esiao
lished college is an adequate faculty
mid thn riolit nresiilent. The Reed
Institute has an endowment sufficient
to enable it to provide these and it is
up to the City of Portland to co
operate in furnishing the plant."
The next step will be the selection
of a site for the Institution.

The Oregon country is not as healthy

these ailments. This was writen on

The old Clackamas river is the

We wero out looking at the water

afternoon and we got into a cornfield
where we spied some roasting ears.
We threshed an armful and put to

aBk the owner for the roasting earB
as we went by his house and if he did
not say we could have'them we would
take 'em home anyway
On Monday night, the 1st iust.,
there was a rustliug busiuesa carried
on in moving of a wagons, road scrap

school bell and turning the toilets
over at the school house, and other
thiiiBs. If we oonld only get a law

Some oft our folks have sold all their
