TOPEKA, Kan., August 28. Judge
Smith McPherson of the United States
district court has filed a decision deny
ing the application of the Mutual life
Insurance Company for an order to ex
hume the body of the late Lucius IL

analysis.
Perkins died in June last, after a fall

the defendants that the court lacks
jurisdiction, but says that his refusal to
grant the order asked by the complain
ants is without prejudice to any further
application to this court or any other
court in any action on or concerning the
policy of insurance referred to in the
bill of complaint.

of the Southern Cross Gold Mining Com

The plant is an improvement over the
one built by Lucian Eaves on the prop
ertythe one erected by Mr. ave cost
about $40,000 and was never used be
cause, the officers of the company say,
it was not up to date or in any way
adapted to the purpose for which it was
intended.
After Eaves turned the property back
to the company (he had a lease on it)
the company threw the Eaves mill in
the scrap pile and erected another under

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. The
knowledge thus made available will be
of value to many users of heavy tim
bers. ., - , -
