Los Angeles , Oct. 17. More railroad ties are stored In Los Angeles than have ever been Kept In this city since the beginning of Its development as n rallioad center. Over on the east side there Is a whole city of ties , stacked in piles varying from one to two sto ries In height , laid out In blocks , with railroad tracks running through the main streets. The Southern Pacific has bought and Is still buying millions of pine ties , which It Is storing In every part available of Its yards east of the river. The pine ties will eventually be used to replace all of the red wood ties on the Harrlihan lines all through the southwest. Redwood ties are a thing of the past , and pine ties have been crowned king of the right-of-way until something better shall bo found. That may be eucalyptus. The Increased cost of redwood , ow- 'ting ' to the depletion of the northern forests , hn ? put the price of this tim ber up to a notch that has made ties too great a luxury to bo laid by the mile , as In days of old. The only other wood that the ralhoads could turn to for material was pine , and so they commenced more than a year ago to order pine ties. Redwood ties \\cro warranted never to wear out , but time told a different story , nnd those along the entire rlghl of way of the Southern Pacific , laid over fifteen years ago will have to bo replaced owing to dry rot. officials of the road saw the n a supply In advance Now they ia\ ( < several million ties on hand , nnd nore coming with every ship that ar- ilvcs from the north. At first they Bought them a shipload at n time , but low that they are away ahead of their present need they order only enough HO that each vessel can use them as a "filler" to store between the rest of the cargo. This amount Is nearly a tralnlond every week. W. J. SLOAN GETS FIFTEEN YEARS FOR CRIME.
