RSillions of Gross Ties Pur chased by Railroads in 1908, Washington, Juno 10 During the year 1008, the steam and electric rail roads of the United States piirehnsod more than U'J.OOO.OOO cross-ties costing at the point of purohase, over $5,U0O, 000 an average of fifty cunts per tie, ac cording to statistics just mado public by the Itureau of the Census in co operation with the United States forest Service. Tilts was some 10,000,000 ties less than the quantity purchased iti 19o7, when the total was approxmatoly 1011,700,000, the highest over recorded. The decreased purchased in 1908 were, of course, chiefly due to the business depression which ollected every lino of industry. This forced most of tho roads to purchase only tho ties which were absolutely essential for renewals, and heavily cut down tho purchase foe new track. In 100S only 7,4Hl,)00 cross ties were reported as purchased for new track as against 2:i,.r).'.7,000 in 1907. Of the total number of ties purchased for all purposes, tho steam roads took approximately ninety-four per cent, leaving about six per cent for the elec tric roads. It is very interesting to note the wide range of woods used for cross ties Tho preliminary report by the Census Bureau lists separately tiftcen classes or species. Of these tho oaks are now and have always been by far the most Important. Tho oak tics ununited in moro. than 18,0(10,000. or forty-three per cont of tho total quan tity purchased. Next to these ranked tho southern yellow pines, with 21, .100 000. or nineteen per cent of tho total. It will bo seen that the oaks and. sontli orn pines combined furnished nearly three fourths of all the ties bought by the rail-roads companies last year. Cedar and chestnut supplied more than 8,000,000,000 ties each, and Douglas (li nearly as much. About 1,000,000 tam arack ties wore purchased, nearly :i,r,00,0o0 cypress ties, and, In round numbers, 11,000,000 each of western pine nnd hemlock. Redwood, white pine, lodgepolo pino, gum, beech, spruce, and several other woods were used In smaller quantities While tho oaks, and particularly tho white oaks, have always been tho pre ferred woods for cross-tlos and still form a large proportion of the total, tho Increasing prices which the roads have had to pay for satisfactory oak ties are forcing them to look moro and more for substitutes. This accounts in part for tho groat variety of wood reported. White oak untreated, makes a tie which gives oxcollont scrvico for many years, but it has been found possible to take woods which naturally are not durable, give them a treat ment with oltheroreosoto or zlnoohlo rulo, which vs ill pro vent decay, and thus get much longer service from them can bo scoured from untreated oak tics.

Slls.'p.H.'t Mntuirc t'oinmitlee. have been most largely treated far are the yellow pines, paraieularly lob lolly pine, Douglas fir. western pine, and ludgepole pine. This year's statistics adds to the list two kinds of cross-ties which previously had not been reported in sutlieient quantity to justify listing them sepa rately. These are gum and beech. Tho purchases of gum ties in 190H ex ceeded 2(!().()0o. while but slightly more than iri.oOO of them were roported in the previous year. Of beech ties, tho purchases in 190S amounted to nearly l9:i,0()0, against but little more than 51,000 in 1907. These are woods which are distinctly not suitable for utoss ties unless thoy tiro given preservative treatment. Their increased use, there fore, is ono of tho many results of tho progress of wood preservation in the Unted stutes. For many years beech lias been ono of tho principal eros tlo woods in Ktiropo, where Its value when given chemical treatment was long ago rccogul.cd. It is not un common for European roads to socuro from twenty to thirty years service from beech i toss-ties, t'ntrcated they would not last long enough to warrant their us-e at all. Corn (iroHcrs Have Chance Any farmer will have a chance to win prizes since tho winners of t hit 1907 and I9JS sweepstakes have been eliminated from entering tho regular classes at tint next corn show In addition to this the exposition will give no cash prize of ?u.uiiO to the winner of tho grand champion sweep stakes the grand premier trophy be ing considered sullleiunt reward to gether with tho honor of winning Hie prize. Instead of the $1,090 cash prize for the champion sweepstakes, three sweepstakes prize shave boon arranged, giving ono to each of tho best ton ears of yellow, white and other than yellow or white, which Includes flint, red and calico varieties. Tlieso changes woro decided on at a mooting of the exocutivo committee of tho oxposition and vice presidents of the National Corn Association, held in Omaha last week. Tho management has also decided that all exhibits must be in Omaha at tho oflice of a transportation company or on tho oxposition grounds by No vember 27, ton days before tho exposi tion opens. Tho 1909 exposition, which is to bo jield in Omaha Decem ber (l to 18, Is to bo an exposition that is "ready." Notice to Parents.
