He (id l('' . si-s the occurrencE over wit.hout. coiment. but his re marks we; 'i.P, of the sharp charac e -a had been expected. He was ite pacitie in *Mr. Gallinger's case, id the two joined in a friendly ex hange of words. Not quite so geutle. ho wever, was he in his notice of 1Mr. enrose's pro nounced quest,ionin-g of the reality of the Wisconsin senator's illness. which had eaised an iijterruption of his spe-ech and a regess to enable him to recover and continue. "As to the remarks of the senator from Pennsylvania,'" he said, "I would suggest that he would render a very important service to the country and to his State if he would account for the way he spends his time when osent. from this body than in any effort to make an account for my time.'' Sitting upright and leaning for ward, Mr. Penrose gave close atten tion to ever word of the senator from Wisconsin. Abides by Rules. "I might add," continued the sen ator from Wisconsin, "that no man could undertake to account for the -whereabouts of the senator from Pennsylvania without transgressing the rules of the senate, and I do not." Mr. LaFallette resumed the thread of his argument on the tariff. During an interruption Mr. Daniel of Virgin ia, presented a table prepared by the experts of the Aldrich bill which are equivalent to ad volorem rates above 75 per cent. "When -u are asked to fix these values at the customs house according to the value of the goods in this coun try, as you will be when the admin istrative features of this bill are con ' sidered,'' said Mr. LaFallette, "you will turn over the fixing of these rates from this body to the people who are directly interested in the bus iness.' When Mr. LaFollette reverted to the question of profits of New Eng land cotton mills Mr. Tillman inter posed to say that although South Car olina was next to Massachusetts in the number of its spindles, manufac turing 800,000 of the 1,000,000 bale:s of cotton it raises, the mill owners Sthere desired no increase of the duty on cotton goods. At 4:35 o'clock Mr. LaFallette con cluded his speech after having held the floor for nearly six hours. Thve sen-ate then went into executive ses r ion. Mrs. Geo. Cofield Dead. Spartanburg, June 4.-Mrs. George Cofield died at the home of her fath er, Dr. G. A. Bunebh, on south Church street here today. Prior to her~ mar riage she was Miss Marg&ret Bunch, a niece of Senator B. R. Tillman. The funeral was held at the residence This morning and the remains taken to Clark's Hill for burial. FORBST CONSBRVATION. Railroad Presidents Called Upon to Practice Forest Conservation . And Better Wood Utilization. Washington, June 7.-The presi dents of the leading railroads of the country have just received a letter from Gifford Panchot, United States forester, calling upon them to prac tice forest conserva.tion and better timber utilization. In -his letter the forester says: "'I am writing to call your atten tion again to some phases of a sub ject to which I know you must al ready have given much thought--the conservation of our.forests. The re port of the National Conservation commission shows that w~e are cut ting our forests three times faster than they ar.e growing; that much larg-e timber. and( young* growvth are destroyed yearly by fire; that as a na tion we have used wood wastefully and extravagantly; that t'he only way we cain get the timber we shall need in the future is to keep all ouw forest land constantly growing trees; and that the longer we delay action the greater will be the pinch of ~ timber shortage later on. "One-fifth of our remaining tim ber is in public forests, and on thes( forests the nation and the States are practicing forestry. Four-fifths o: our timber &- privately own.hed, an' n: is beinz eu almost exclusively f'o present protit without regard to> thn future.

"Each railroad has its own especial timber problems which must be work- t ed out to meet the given eonditions. At the same time t:here are certain I ines of general policy which can be profitably adopted by many roads. They are: "1. The use of chemically treated ties wherever possible. "2. The use of so-called inferior woods. as, for example, black gum a and loblolly pine, for ties, which will :-duce the drain on white oak. and C which is entirely practicable if the ties are treated. "3. The purchase and management of land bearing mature timber which can be used immediately, and of see- S ond growth timber which will meet the needs of the future. Such land. U if properly managed will insure a per petual supply of ties and lumbe-r at C the cost of production. "4. The planting of trees upon nonagricultural land owned by the Y company, which does not now contain sufficient young growth to produce a - timber crop. "5. Cooperation with other roads in the adoption of standard specifi cations for ties and timber and for the treatment of them. Cooperation g with. timberland owners and the States in fire prevention, and in bringing about conditions which will C make the practice of forestry profi table. C "These are in substance the recom mendations of the subcommittee on forest supplies of the American rail- 0 way engineering and maintenanc, of way association. The adoption of these recomm;endations and the ap- n pointment of technical men to carry t them out will, it seems to me, be wise action for any railroad. The influ- e ence of their general adoption. would - be far reaching and most beneficial. "I should be very glad to discuss the matter more in detail with you at your convenience, or to be of use in any other way.n Responses which show much inter-b est are being received, and it is pre sumed tha.t definite action along the 1t ]ines mentioned will result. - Destruction of Telephone Poles By Insects. Insects play a most important part in timber destruction.. The injury done is generally underestimated as their depredations go on gradually, but forcibly, attracting little observa- - tion. When they bore into the tim-. ber they open up air chambers and ti channels which make it easy for rain- ti water to seep in, and thus keep the P wood in a moist condition. Fungous t( spores floating through the air are q enabled to germintate with greater s rapidity and with increased effective- C] ness and the decomposition of the 0 pole consequently is materially has- fi tened. it Several years ago the forest service cooperated with one of the large tel ephone companies in Georgia and ~ Florida to experiment with various preservatives in protecting the butts of telephone poles from decay. These preservatives were simply painted up on the wood, and of course did not sink in to any great depth. A recent e examination made of this pol'e line showed that wherever the preserva- b Store We have sold Hardware a to take effect JuIe OUR SPEC] will be called off So if you care to of our special oi week, Yeurs t Craig Su Prosperii MIAll ni ugI IU01i1S WUe We have secure housands of doll. he trading public iave scooped in. dillinery!

M M- - e had entered the wood no destrue-I n due to insect attack had taken ace, but where the wood was unpro eted, such injury was frequently iite serious. Poles in which t'he pre rvatives had seeped through a ack were often more or less fluted the surface, that is, the oil saturat-j g the wood in the immediate vicin of the erack protected it from the tacks of the insects.
