COMPANY B B Grand Jury Report, We, the Grand Jury for the No vember, 1909, Term of the Wallowa County Circuit Court, beg leave to re port aa follows: We have been in continuous ses sion for five days, and returned Into court 3 true bills, and two not true bills of indictment. We have also returned one Report and Return. We have carefully investigated all charges of any violations of the laws of this state that have been brought to our attention, and have not concluded all the testimony upon all such charges. We have inspected the offices and records of the sheriff, clerk, and as sessor, end find them neatly kept, and so far as we could discover properly kept in all respects. We went through the county Jail in1 hv reason nf the nroSDect Of but few occupants, and a new Jail by the first of next year, we have no recommendations to make. The various cojnty officers stated to us that in view of the fact that the county would have a new court house, and new public office rooms by the first of the year, they had no present requests or recommendations. Millions of feet of timber and fin lshed lumber rot every year In rail road ties, bridges, trestles, piles, farm buildings, fences, poles, and mine props. The lumber consuming public of the United States pay perhaps thirty to forty million dollars a year to make good the losses from wood decay. These great drains are ft source of more and more concern each year. Chemists and engineer who have to do with the uses of wood axe working unceasingly on the problem. The U. S. Forest Service has men who de vote their who'.e time to it. The Im portance of the problem can not be overestimated. Millions of dollars' are annually saved by preservative treat ment of timbers, but much yet re mains to be learned. Wood decay Is caused by fungus, a vegetable growth sometimes so small that it can be seen only with a mlscro- scope. Its roots or branches, like min ute hairs force their way into the wood tissues and absorb or eat away the solid parts. The collapse which results Is called decay. Timber artificially preesrved by forcing Into Its cells or pores certain substances which prevent the growth of fungi. As long aa this substance Is present in sufficient quantity, the germs of decay the threads and spores of fungus can not enter, and the wood Is preserved. This often means doub ling and sometimes trebling the life of the timber. The United States government con siders the Investigations of the pre servative treatment of timber of such importance that the business of one office of the United States Forest Service, that of Wood Preser vation, with new headquarters at Madison, Wis., Is given over entire ly to the work of experiments in co operation with railroad companies and other corporations and Individu al in prolonging the life of railroad ties, mine prore. bridge timbers. fence posts and transmission poles, The, lengthening of the life of tim ber means the saving of thousands of dollars annually through doing awav with the heavy expense of labor end cost of material for renew ale. .
