Lodgepoles
To Get Test
At Station
Tall lodgepoles of the upper
Deschutes basin, once considered
a mere "weed tree," but now
hailed by some as the "Cinderel
la Pine," may soon be called on
to fill a new demand material
for fence posts.
Lodgepole preservative re
search that Is attracting wide at
tention in the western woods is
now under way and, beginning
this week will center at the Pnn-
gle Falls experiment station. In
tne local tests, witn some 4U0
posts to be used, a newly devel
oped double diffusion treatment
will be used.
Two Chemicals Used
The Deschutes lodgpoie posts
will be treated when green with
a chemical thafcwill penetrate the
moist wood. A second chemical
will then be applied, and will fol
low the first into the sap wood.
Each of the chemicals is soluble
in water, but when they combine
in tne damp loogepoie they will
form an Insoluble precipitate
which will form a preservative,
As a result ol preliminary tests.
foresters are confident that the
new treatment will prove effect
ive, ine new compound, if ef
fective, will be a great Improve
ment over present preservatives,
foresters say, and will help make
the lodgepole Just as suitable as
cedar or juniper lor fence-post
purposes. Furthermore, it Is
pointed out, lodgepole fence posts
win t easy to get.
Developed In Laboratory
The new double diffusion treat
ment was developed at the Mad
ison, wis., lorest laboratories, and
the Forest Products Laboratory
at uregon state college.
Roy H. Baechler from the Mad
ison laboratory and Elmer Mat-
son, Portland, will be here to
morrow to start their studies at
the Princle Falls station in co
operation with the Deschutes Re
search Center staff, headed by
James bowder.
Members of the Deschutes cen
ter staff, have already made de
tailed studies relative to the serv
ice life of treated and untreated
fence posts on the Prinele Falls
experiment lorest. in a prelim
inary paper, Walter G. Dahms of
tne Deschutes Research Center
staff wrote:
Tests Results Noted
"The service life of lodgepole
pine fence posts can be greatly
extended Dy tne use ol a good
preservative treatment. However,
a comparison of treated lodgepole
pine posts with untreated western
red cedar posts is still Indecisive.
These conclusions . have . been
reached as a result pf observa
tions on 417 lodgepole pine posts
for 16 years and 355 cedar posts
for 19 years on the Prinele Falls
Experiment Forest in Central Or-j
Results with treated? posts show
that both the arsenic and creosote
treatments can be expected to
at least double the service life
of lodgepole pine posts at Prin
gle Falls, Dahms noted. At Mis
soula, Mont,, where tests were
made, the life of lodfiepole posts
was tripled.
The double diffusion treatment
to be tested here may result in
an even longer life for the posts.

Deschutes Road Network Expands
Deschutes this season recorded completion of 100 miles of surfaced county roads, a mileage believed
outstanding for any county in the state. Shown on the map is the county network and the improved state
highways serving the area and providing connections with adjacent counties. Only a portion of the
county Is represented In the map, the east extension toward Hampton and the southern part having
, been omitted because of space requirements.

Judge C. L. Allen, E. E. Varco
and A. E. Stevens, and Roadmas-
ter George McAllister recalled
other days, and they were not so
long ago, wnen not a single mile
of, any type road in the county
was oiled. Then came the sur
facing of U. S. 97, piece by piece.
and the extension of oil east of
U. S. 20 and west toward Sisters.
Eventually, the county s present
road system was set up and the
winding roads of the past disap
peared. But, with a few excep
tions, an rural roads were still
dusty.
within the present decade, the
county has made great strides
in extending its system of sur
faced roads, until finally in mid
summer of the present year, the
iuu mile mark was reached.
And. county offissrs stress, the
100 mile stone Is not to be a term
inal- point. More miles of oiled
roads will be added next vear and
'in' other years.
Deschutes countv. Judee Allen
declares, is outstanding in the
entire state in its system of im
proved rural routes. The map ap
pearing nere illustrates the man
ner the rural routes augments

thickly settled portions of the
county. Because of space limita

ton, which is served by U. S. 20,
and the southern part of the
county, crossed by U. S. 97,
irrigated communities in Des
chutes county are especially well
served by surfaced highways, as
the map shows. Both the Bend
and Redmond areas are well
served routes leading Into rural
areas.
Several new routes, some ol
them secondary highways, took'
their place on the Deschutes
county map In the past few years.
One of these is the new Powell
Butte secondary route. In the
present year, the unit of this
highway that Is in Crook county
was completed, providing a new
route between Bend and Prineville,
through the thickly populated
Powell Butte district.
