NEW METHODS OF TREATMENT As the Length of the Life of Timber is Increased the Drain Upon the Forests is Lessened and More Wood is Available For Use. "Timber thoroughly treated with proper preservatives will last almost indefinitely," says a government ex pert who is an authority on wood preservation. "Engineers have known for years that this is tri" he contin ues, "but up to the present time, at least in America, complicated and ex pensive plants have been necessary for the work and wood preservation has often been too expensive an op eration to allow treated timber to come into general use." Methods in wood preservation have undergone a marked change in the last few years, however, and the work which a few years ago was limited to a few experiments carried on in scattered parts of the United States has grown with such rapidity that wood preservation has become a business which figures most promin ently in the industrial life of this country. ' Each year railroads are treating an increasing portion of their cross ties, miners their mine props, farmers their fence posts and the men of many other industries are bringing preservatives into play to close the pores and prepare the timber they use to'resist the fungi which cause decay. The work points the way to one of the chief means of the con servation of the nation's resources, for as the length of the life of tim ber is increased the drain upon the forests is lessened, and more wood made available for use. In nearly all localities in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific states is found an abundant supply of certain kinds of timber which have only a slight commercial importance. Engelmami spruce, lodgepole and other kinds of pine, aspen, and cottonwood are only a partial list of the kinds of wood which are strong enough and abund ant enough to win high value for con struction purposes, were it not for one single defect which has prevent ed their general adoption. When ex posed to the soil and weather they decay so rapidly that they have to be renewed too often to justify their use. - Dead timber of lodgepole pine and other species also is found in large tract-?, but is sharply discriminated against by all constructing engineers and contractors. As a matter of fact the dead timber, provided it is sound, is just as good as green timber of the same species; and indeed, in some ways, is even more valuable. For it is well known that thoroughly sea soned timber is both stronger and more durable than the same timber when green. Timber which was kill ed by fire or insects, and which is still in a sound condition, differs from green timber chiefly in being thor oughly seasoned that is to say, it is stronger, more durable and lighter. And so not only are the freight rates considerably reduced, but a' better grade of timber secured. Even in a thoroughly seasoned con dition, lodgepole pine, F.ngelrnann spruce, and the other species men tioned above, are by no means dur able woods when compared with Douglas fir, Oregon cedar, and the other, kinds of wood which are used so extensively in construction work, complete with such timbers in spite of their lower price, they must be made to last longer under unfavor able conditions. After several years study, the Unk ed States Forest Service has proved that in many cases the complicated and expensive plants are not neces sary for the proper treatment of many kinds of timber; and that many of the timbers which decay most rap idly in the natural state, are among the easiest and cheapest to treat. Many of the species mentioned above offer little resistance to the entrance of the preservative. The principle of the method is to immerse the thoroughly seasoned wood in a hot bath of the liquid, leave it in for a few. hours, and then either plunge it into cold bath of a preservative, or else run out the hot liquid from the treating tank, and fill it up again with liquid of a lower temperature. This requires only the simplest kind . of THE HORNING AST01UAN, ASTORIA. OREGON. machinery, and the cost of operation is so slight that even cheap timbers like fence posts and shingles can be treated by the average ; farmer of small means. Although the Forest Service, by experiments in nil portions of the country, considers that the practica bility of the process has been conclu sively proved, more or less difficulty has-been encountered in inducing others to adopt the process on a commercial scale. In order to dem onstrate beyond any doubt that the process is adapted to commercial treatment, the service has arranged to erect small treating p!ants-cmi-commcrcial in size on several of the National Forests. Tests will be made on the local timbers, and care ful record kept of the cost of the work. The treated timber will then be placed in permanent position, where its future durability can be compared with untreated timber of the same or other kinds. Three such plants will be erected this spring, and it is expected that they will be in successful operation by early summer. According to the present plans one plant will be erect ed at some locality on or near the Black .Hills National Forest, South Dakota, another on the Holy Cross National Forest in Coloredo ;and the tlird on the Henrys Lake National Forest near St. Anthony, Idaho. The investigations in wood preser vation by the use of creosote, jvhich is nothing more than the dead oil of coal tar and tine chloride, is con sidered of such importance by the government that one branch of a bureau in the Department of Agri culturethe "Office of Wood Pres ervation" in the Forest Serviceis given over entirely to the work of experiments in co-operation with railroad companies, mining corpora tions and individuals who desire to prolong the life of the timber which they use. Advice and practical as sistance is furnished all who request it of the Forester at Washington. A Healing Salve for Burns, Chapped Hands and Sore Nipple.

CHURCH AND CLERGY. , Rev. William Hurlin, aged ninety' three years, preached recently at the Antrim Presbyterian church. He is doubtless the oldest minister who on that day preached from a New Hampshire pulpit. "I see no reason," says Rev. John L. Scudder of Jersey City, "why the face of a Christian should be as long as that of a horse. Personally I in tend to get all the legitimate fun out of life that I can, and I get a good deal of it." The Second Congregational church at Famouth, Mass., built in 1821,, was turned end for end twenty years later to get a bequest of $10,000 left by a member who did noHike the.way the church stood, and a monument has now been erected with an inscription stating these facts. Chabmerlains's Has the Preference Mr. Fred. C. Hanrahan, a promi nent druggist of Portsmouth, Va.. says: "For the past six years I have sold and recommended Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarhoea Remedy. It is a great remedy and one of the best patent medicines on the market. I handle some others for the same purposes that pay me a larger profit, but this remedy is so sure to effect a cure, and my custom er so certain to appreciate my recom mending it to him, that I give it the preference."
