The growing tree «ith rap filled veins endures for •••nturiee, but the felled timl>erof com­ merce, rapidly deteriorates whether employed on land or in water, in con­ tact with soil or exposed to the air. The truthfulness of thia assertion cannot be denied. It is within the knowledge of all who use wood; from the taxpayer of Portland, who sees his liridge timbers, trestles and paving blocks drop with sickening rapidity into the limbs of things to be repaired at his expense, to the farmer on his ranch, who is «instantly lamenting the frequency with which his fence posts, hop poles, house supports, barns and sheds call for renewal and an aggra­ vating outlay of time, work and mowy. Are these ills remediable, or must they lie endured by future as they hav< been by past generations? This is i. question of alisoxbing importance to nrban and rural dwellers alike in the humid Pacific coast belt. Fortunately an encouraging response may be given to the inquiry. A certain German wood preservative known as Avenanus Carbolineum, ab­ solutely prevents decay and extends the longevity and usefulness of wood structures from one, two or at most five years to at least twenty. Avenarius Carbolineum is a chemical wonder and is so recognized by governments and individuals all over the world. It is astonishing that a remedy of such valne against timber diseases should have only recently found recognition in a section where its services are so im­ peratively demanded. Applied with a brush this remark­ able preparation [>eu< trates to the very vitals of the article treated, acting like living sap and not only tights off decay, but adds a considerable percentage to the tensile strength of the structure. It is apparently exempt friJm evapora­ tion. as the whittlings of a stick treated exhibit moisture years after ap­ plication. Now that actual experience in this territory has been added to the knowledge affotded by foreign testi­ monials, Avenarius Carbolineum is cer­ tain to liecome a staple commodity saving immense annual outlay in re­ pairs and adding very materially to the purposes for which our leading pro- duct, timber, can be employed. CUBAN JUDICIARY, The Havana Poo Accusrs It of Cor- rupllon. Havana, August 11.—The press unanimously criticises and condemns what it terms the corrupt condition of the Cuban judiciary system. Bold chniges have lieen made by the news­ papers that judges and other members of the court have been receiving fees for eases coming to trial in the courts and which they themselves have to de­ cide. The Poet charges the Cuban ju­ diciary wtih having a compact organi­ zation, extending over the entire sys­ tem, so perfect that “corruption is con­ ducted with absolute safety,” and adds: “There are members of the courts who retain their law offices and leave the affairs of the offices to those who were their clerks befoie they were on the bench. These cleiks arrange the details of representing the old clients of those judges and arrange the fees, etc. “In this way a judge upon a bench decides a ease at issue while really rep­ resenting one of the parties to the suit. an—Yang Ta tin captured today. Wire up. Need own transportation. All well. "SCRIVEN.” Half an hour after this message a cablegram came from General Chaffee, giving additional details of the capture and showing that it had been at the cost of about 60 casualties among the American troops. General Chaffee’s dispatch is as follows: “Yang Tsnn, August 6.—Yang Tarin occupied today. Wounded—Second Lieutenant Frank R. I»ng, Ninth infantry. Casualties, about 60 men, Ninth United States infantry, Four­ teenth United State» infantry and bat­ tery P, Fifth L’mtvl States artillery. Nearly all from Pou fantry. Names later.

This dispatch stated that on the 4th, when it was forwarded, the advance had not begun. Thia was at first in­ comprehensible, in view of the fact that fighting has actually occurred. But the later statement that the inter­ national force wonld total 50.000 men on the 15th appears to make clear Gen­ eral Terauchi’s meaning and to recon­ cile it with ^General Chaffee’s dis­ patches. The present movement cl some 16,000 men doubtless is viewed in the light of a reconnoissance in force, the main movement of the army of 50,000 to follow on the 15th. Thia makes clear the meaning ot General Chaffee’s dispatch that Yang Tsun was the objective point. The war depart­ ment has been puzzled on this point. It wonld appear, however, from Gen­ eral Terauchi’s dispatch that the first fotce of 16,000 men. having opened up communications to Yang Tsun, brought forward supplies and established this advance base, the way would then be clear for the advance of the larger force on the 15th. The capture of Yang Tsun is there­ fore an important strategic branch of the fast maturing military plans. The place is about 18 miles beyond Tien Tsin, and a little less than a quartet of the way to Pekin. Colonel Scriven’« statement that “wire up” contain« much meaning, as it is explained ai showing that there is telegraphic com­ munication with the army in the field. Aside from the assurance this gives, ol speedy transinission of news from the front, it gives the additional assurance that the line is intact back to the first base of operations. The capture oi Yang Tsun the day following the bat­ tle of Peit Sang is regarded as a highly successful military achievement, and especially in view of the fact that it was looked upon as a stronghold whose capture might give the foreigners con­ siderable trouble.
