Fence Posts Made Durable.
Fence posts of many kinds of cheap
woods which ordinarily would soon
decay if set in tiie ground can be
made to last for twenty years by a
simple treatment with creosote. Most
of the so-called “inferior woods are
well adapted to the treatment, and
this is especially true of cottonwood,
aspen, willow, sycamore, low-grade
pines, and some of the gums. When
properly treated, these woods outlast
untreated cedar and oak, whicli are
becoming too scarce and too much in
demand for other uses to allow of
their meeting the demand for fence
posts. Impregnation with creosote
has been greatly cheapened by the
introduction of the “open tank,”
which can be installed at a cost of $30
to $45, or much less If an old boiler is I
used. A tank with a bottom 12
square feet in area will suffice for tiiej
treating of 40 or 50 6-incli posts a day,
or double this ruinber when two runs
per day can be made. The absorp
tion of creosote per post is about as
follows: Eucalyptus, one-tenth galon:
willow, two-tenths gallon; sassafras,
ash, hickory, red oak, water oak, elm
and maple, four-tenths gallon; Doug
las fir, quaking aspen, and black wal
nut, six-tenths gallon; sycamore, cot
tonwood, and lodgepole pine, seven
tenths gallon. The price of creosote
is about 2 cents per gallon in the
East and Middle west, 16 cents per
gallon on the Pacific Coast, and 27
cents per gallon in the Rocky Moun
tain States. The cost of treating a
post will therefore vary rrom 4 to 15
cents. Properly treated, it should
give service for at least twenty years.
Experiments of the Forest Service
show that with preservative treat
ment the durability of lodgepole pine
in Idaho is increased sixteen years.
The cost of creosote is there relative
ly high, yet by treating posts there
is a saving, with Interest at 6 per
cent, or 2 cents per post yearly. More
important than the saving, however,
is the fact that through preservative
treatment other woods are fitted to
take the place of cedar, of which Ihe
supply is rapidly becoming exhausted.
A detailed description of experiments
in preserving fence posts, together
with practical suggestions for treat
ing them on a commercial scale, are
coQtaiaed in Circular 117 of the Forest
Service. This publication can be ob
tained upon application to the Forest
er at Washington.

TEE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITTANNICA has long been recog
nized as the greatest cf reference works, and is without question the
greatest book of its kind that has evor been published in the English
language. IN ITS PAGES IT GIVES A LIST OF ONE HUNDRED
— OF THE GREATEST BOOKS
Aiiirt.,.i._the world has ever produced.
Wholesome THE list is headed by
Q+Att/ WaII TaM “THEBIBLE”andwelltowards
OlUlj VtCH lUlll the head is the greatest of all
. ■■ i 111 romantic novels ever written,
ALEXANDRE DGMAS* “MONTE CRISTO." It is from this
SPLENDIDLY WRITTEN ROMANCE that the stirring romantic
melodrama of the same name was dramatized. This famous work
appeared in 1644 and may be said to have excited more universal
interest than any romance since Robinson CTusoe cr Waverly. TEE
EXTRAORDINARY COLOR, THE NEVER FLAGGING SPIRIT, the
endless surprises, and the air
of nature which is cast over
even the most extravagant
si (nations make this play
worthy of the popularity it has
enjoyed in almost e- ery country
of the world.
» IT IS SELDOM, IF EVER,
that an adaptation for stage
presentation EXCEEDS IN
POPULARITY and general
favor that of the novel itself
However, that is the case with
“Monte Cristo” which has had
the most solid success of any
book play known to theatrical
history. TEE STORY IS A
MOST IMPRESSIVE ONE and
deals with all the PASSIONS
AND EMOTIONS. The play,
which is in five acts, is provided
with a complete scenic investi
ture and the costuming is correct

anam accordance with the period of the play. The trade me k
established b7 the mane cement is “YOUR MONEY’S WORTH OR
YOUR MONEY BACK” so he public take no chances when this
sterling play is presented here.
It is not often that a theatrical company visiting this city, will,
as an evidence of good faith, give a public guarantee as to the
excellence of the attraction, but
Fred G. Conrad, the manager of
“Monte Cristo,” gives the fol
lowing Guaranteed Pledge:
“We hereby an thorite the
local macaver in every tow
that we play to guarantee it to be first-1"’' ■* -
Tie word ‘guarantee’ is much 07.rv.-o; Led, lYY. •' ’ >Y
and almost everybody does. It’s a pity to see it al>u„ed; ’guarantee
is a good word when it means anything. We use it because wt
have made it mean something. Cut this out, take it with you to
the theatre, and if after the first act you are dissatisfied with the
entertainment given, your money will be refunded. We personally
guarantee the excellence of this attraction.” a
