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. .
