week. Mr. Diamond has leaned the
mill and will carry on the business
Independently of Mr. lkmney.
I beg your pardon, Mr. Editor, for
devoting so much space to Mr. Donney,
but I believe If the early struggles of
Mr. lk)uuey in the days of poverty and
adverse circumstances up hill, the ac
cumulation of his vast wealth, were
known to the world, many a poor,
struggling boy would take new cour
age and face the world with renewed
determination. Mr. lkmuvy started
out In a small way. His motto was:
"Be honest and pay as you go."
"Lucky BUI." he was called. Perhaps
the secret of his unparalleled Buccess
Is the w ay he arranges the fine details
of his business. He deals directly w ith
the lumberman, buying his logs for
spot cash, thus not ony securing his
lumber cheap, but also Insuring a good
profit to the logger. Joel Lacroy Is
probably the largest gainer by Mr.
Bonney's generosity. In conclusion,
let me say, "Boys, It pays to be hon-
est.
Live a true, upright, noble life.
The world will look on and a;yrove."

More than three-fourth of all tie
aro hewed; and with every wood from
which tie are miole, except Dougla
Ar and Western pine, the number of
hewed tie U greater than the number
sawed. About ten time as many
Dougta fir tie are sawed a are
hewed. Of the oak ties a tittle over
oneslxth and of the Southern pine
tie le than one third are sawed. In
contrast to tho Southern pine I the
Western pine, of which more thau
one-half the tie aro sawed. In gen
eral, when lumber has a relatively low
value the proportion (if sawed tie In

Is always active, while that for lum

Ten per cent of tb ties purchased
were treated with preservatives either
before they were purchased or at tne
treating plant of the railroad company.
At least ten railroad companion are
operating their own plant for the
preservation of their construction ma
terial. Of the many form In which wood
I used, tie are fourth In ami, sawed
lumber being first, firewood second,
and shingle and lath third. It ha
been calculated that the amount of
wood used each year In ties I equiva
lent to the product of fiuo.oeq mres of
forest, and that to maintain every tie
In the track two tree must be grow
ing With nearly SOO.ooo mile of rail
road trackaKo and approximately 2,800
tie to every mile, there are over
81m.ono.OOo ties constantly subject to
wear aud decay. The rullroad report
that In the form of ties cedar last
11 year, cypres lo year, and red
wood nine year. These wood, how
ever lack the desired wclitht and hard
ness, aud, what Is more Important,
they are not available In the region of
thetrunk line of the Central and East
ern State. When It I considered,
then, that tho service of the louxeNt
lived tie timber In general use chest
nut, white oak, tamurack, spruce and
Ikougla fir I but seven years, while
wltli mime, a the black oak. It I but
four years, whereas a treated tie with
equipment to lessen wear will laxt 15
year, It Is apparent how much the
railroads can save If preservation
treatment of tie I uulversally adopt
ed. The saving In the drain upon the
forests I of even greater moment.
Attending a Chautauqua.
Down In 0orgla tho citizens of a
thriving town of about Coot) people ar
ranged for a Chautauqua Assembly
last summer. They held the meetings
In a big tent about a mile from the
town, mid the attendance was lurcn
1 from tho first day. An enterprising
circus man heard of the largo crowds,
and landed In the town the second
day of the Chautauqua With a steam
merry-go-round, which he located at
, auimt nttIf way )f.tween the town and
tho Chautauqua ground.
Along In the afternoon a young man
from the country district was accost
ed by a citizen of tho town.
"Well, Ezry, I suppose you aro In to
the Chautauqua?"
"I shore am. Jlst come from tbar
now."
"How'd you like It?" asked the
townsman.
"Fine ess a fiddle! I rode on the
