Timber Testing Plant at University of Oregon to Make Investigation. WASHINGTON, August 28. The For est Service laboratory at Eugene, Ore gon, is preparing to test the strength of timbers which have been removed from the bridges of a western railroad, and discarded after several years of use. It is a practice with some railroad companies to remove bridge stringers that have been in service a certain length of time, upon the assumption that they have deteriorated in strength to such a degree as to be unsafe. The substitution of knowledge for haphazard guesses is one of the objects held steadily in view by the Forest Service in its timber tests. It ascer tains the actual strength of different ! woods, not the supposed strength. ine Deams win De oroicen under loads applied by powerful machines, and the weights which they might have carried with safety will be ascertain.
