Almost Indefinitely
Washington, sept. 29-southem
California will profit as, much as any
other section of the country because of
enormous saving to lumber users which
will result from the preservative treat
ment of timber. The successful investi
gations of the government and private
corporations In wood preservation mean
great benefits to the southern half of the
state, because this part of the great
southwest Is a heavy consumer of timber,
particularly poles used In the extensive
development of the country through elec
tricity, Industry's greatest agent of prog
ress.
In and around Los Angeles alone them
are consumed annually from 60,000 to 70,000
poles, and in the next five years there
¦will be more poles used In this locality
than In any other portion of the United
States. The poles üßed are cedar from
Washington and Oregon.
A few years ago a preservative treat
ment fftr telegraph, transmission and oth
er polis was unknown In the United
States, but the constant Increase in the
cost of the higher grades of timber and
the substituion, in many localiles, of in
ferior woods for the woods formerly used
has made a preservative treatment al
most a necessity. The use of the so
called Inferior woods is made possible
only by the use of a preservative treat
ment.
Owing t6 trie scarcity and the difficulty
of getting poles, due to poor transporta
tion facilities, the various pole consum
ing companies In Los Angeles turned
their attention two years ago to a pre
servative treatment for the wooden poles
in use. Various methods have been tried
by these companies, mostly applications
of* aiffer&nt oils with a brush to the out
side of the pdle, but these have been
abandoned to a gr*at extent as not giv
ing the aeslred results.
Four years ago 'the Pacific Light and
Power company set a pole line from its
power house at Mentone to San Bernar
dino. Two hundred and one of these
poles were treated, forty-three with car
bollneum; 151 with asphaltum and ce
ment, the pole being first wrapped with
burlap and then dipped in the compound;
and twenty-flve with asphaltum and ce
ment, with no burlap wrapping.
Recently 138 of these poles were exam
ined, the earth being remove* from
around the pole to a depth of one to two
feet. The treatments showed results as
follows:
Results Differ
Of the forty-three poles treated with
carboliheum, twenty-seven were exam
ined and found rotted through the sap
wood; eighty-seven of the poles treated
with asphaltum and cement with the bur
lap wrapping were examined and seem
ingly all were sound, as the compound
and the burlap formed a hard shell on
the outside of the pole. On twenty-five
of these the burlap was cut and the wood
underneath examined. Of these twenty
flve poles fourteen were sound and eleven
rottd through the sapwood. Of the
twenty-flve poles treated without the
burlap wrapping, twenty-one were badly
rotted.
Crude oil has been used to a consider
able extent in Southern California as a
preservative. The method employed is
npt to treat the wood itself, but to sat
urate the ground around the pole with
oil and encase the pole in bitumen
formed by the moisture of the oil and
the earth. This method of treating poles
lias been used expensively, but the poles
so treated have not been set long enough
to show results. Steel poles have been
substituted to some extent for wooden
poles on long transmission lines. On the
n*w line of the Edison Electric companjfl
from the power house at Kern river to
the distributing stations In Los Angeles,
steel towers set In concrete are in use.
This line Is 167 miles long and trars
mlts 40,000 hofßepower. The wires are
carried on Insulators 2 feet high and
are given a span of 700 feet. On the high
tension distribution lines of this com
pany a tripod-shaped steel pole Is in use.
The pole Is built of three three-quarter
round pieces of steel, set in concrete, one
foot apart at the base and tapering to a
point at the top. The steel legs are lat
ticed from base to*' top. A great deal of
trouble has been caused by the leakage
and induction on these steel towers,
causing death to animals, fires, etc.
In Fresno the San Joaquln Light and
Power company Is using poles of the
western yellow pine. Owing to the high
price of poles in Fresno and to the dlf
flaulty of getting any cedar poles there,
the company about three years ago
started using thlß pine. The poles are cut
in the mountains north of Fresno and
are hauled in by teams. This pole has
an average life of two years.
In setting the pine pole the company
has used two methods to increase the
life— the use of crude oil mentionad above
and the use of a cedar stub. The pole
Is strapped to a 10x10 inch by 10 foot
cedar stub with two U holta, the butt of
the pole being kept a foot above the
ground to prevent the fungus getting a
hold on the pole.
The methods mentioned above as be
ing used by these companies proved un
satisfactory, and' two years ago several
of the pole consumers In Southern Cali
fornia appealed to the forest service for
help. The forest service started some
experiment in February, 1906, which are
now nearing completion.
Use Open Tank
Jn these experiments only the open
tank method has been used. This con
sists In giving the pole a bath of hot oil,
followed by a path of cold oil. The pole
is placed In a tank of hot creosote oil
to a depth of one foot above the ground
line when set and kept there from three
to eight hours, depending on the condition
of the wood and the penetration desired.
The pole is then placed in a bath of cold
oil.
When the wood Is heated in the hot,
oil the air and mosture in the wood cells
and intercellular spaces is expanded and
some of it is driven out. and on immer
sion in the cold oil the difference in tem
perature causes the expanded air and
moisture to contract, thus forming a
partial vacuum, which causes the oil to
penetrate the wood.
The, western yellow pine is found to be
a wood which readily takes treatment.
In the experiments carried on in South
ern California a penetration of from two
to five inches of oil, at the ground Una,
•|z feet from the butt, has been obtained.
The western yellow pine has a life un
treated of about two years. With the
treatment obtained the life of the pole
would be increased to at least twenty
years. Figuring the cost of the untreat
ed pole at $5 and the life at two years,
the annual charge of the pole, exclusive
of Interest, is $2.50. Figuring the cost of
treatment at not more than 13.60 and a
life of twenty years, the annual charge,
exclusive of Interest, is 3'i-yfe -cents, as
against 12.50 for the untreated timbers.
In the case of the cedar pole It has been
found possible to fill the sapwood with
creosote at a cost of about $2. A treat
ment of t,.is kind should at least
'Jouble the life of a cedar pole. A 40-foot
:edar pole costs, set In the ground, about
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1907.
$16 and has an average life of ten years.
The annual charge on this pole, exclusive
of Interest, Is 11.60. With an additional
cost of $2 for treatment and a life of
twenty years the annual charge will be
reduced to R5 cents.
Takes One Bureau
The government considers the Inves
tigations In the preservative treatment of
timber of such Importance that the busi
ness of one branch of a bureau In the
department of agriculture— the office of
wood preservation In the forest service
is given over entirely to the work of ex
periments In co-operation with the rail
road companies, mining corporations and
Individuals in prolonging the life of rail
road ties, mine props, bridge timbers,
fence posts and transmission poles.
Advice and practical assistance is fur
nished all who request this advice of the
forester. The lengthening of life of tim
ber means the saving of thousands of
dollars annually through doing away
with the heavy expense of labor and cost
of material for renewals.
PURSUIT OF YEARS
MAY END TODAY
FUGITIVE CASHIER LOCATED BY
DETECTIVEB
Ewald C. Hastins of Minneapolis, De-
faulter, Has Evaded Capture In
New York, New Orleans and
San Francisco
Ewald C. Hastlns, formerly employed
as cashier by a large mercantile firm
in Minneapolis, but who fled from that
city four years ago and who Is wanted
there on a charge of embezzlement, Is
in LOs Angeles and will probably be ar
rested by officers of a private detective
agency this morning.
For four years the members of this
agency have sought the man and have
trailed him through every large city In
the Union. A year ago he succeeded in
eluding them in New York and until a
week ago all trace of him was lost.
Meantime officers of the agency had
been busy seeking clews of his where
abouts, and at last learned that he had
been seen in San Francisco. In that
city it was learned he had come to Los
Angeles under an assumed name, and
by sheer chance the detectives suc
ceeded in picking up the threads which
led to Information of his whereabouts
and made his arrest possible.
All yesterday detectives Trom the
agency watched the house In which
Hastlns lives, and had the man ap
peared he would have been taken into
custody. It was learned he had left
Saturday night for a visit to friends In
Santa Monica and was expected back
this mornihg and the officers believed it
best to wait until he returned to his
home before making the arrest.
Their reason for this Is that it is
thought Hastins has In his possession
papers which will secure his conviction,
despite the fact that the police now
have ample proof against him.
Spent Lavishly
Early in January, 1903, word was
taken Hastlns' employers that all was
not right. It was whispered to them
that he was expending large sums of
money each month.
Private detectives were engaged to
watch the man and gained knowledge
of Hastlns' life which caused his em
ployers to place expert accountants to
work on his books.
It was learned that Hastlns had been
carrying on a system of thefts for yearß
and that he was nearly $20,000 behind
in his accounts.
While these investigations were
being carried on Hastlns became Sus
picious and left ostensibly for a trip to
Milwaukee. He never returned to Min
neapolis, and when detectives went to
look for him It was found he had dis
appeared.
For some time all trace of him was
lost when he was seen in New Orleans.
Instructions were sent to the chief of
police there to arrest Hastins, but
when an officer went to serve the war
rant the fugitive had gone.
Since that time circulars have been
sent all over the country describing him
and instructing the sheriffs and police
of different counties and cities to arrest
on sight.
The memberß of the private detective
agency who ware on his track have had
the idea always In mind that some of
Hastins' former acquaintances who
knew his record would In time recog
nize him and notify them of his where
abouts. Their ideas proved correct and
within another twenty-four hours it is
probable the man who has led them
such a merry chase will be behind the
bars.
G. L. SHELDON JR. RULES
A TRUST OF NEWSBOYS
Son of the Antl.Combine Governor of
Nebraska, with Aid of "Red,"
Controls Street Sales
* of Lincoln
LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 29.— While Gov-
George L. Sheldon Is a strong anti-trust
man, and has been seeking earnestly to
bring to book the powerful railroad com
binat n which for years las ruled the
state, his ten-year-old son, George L.
Sheldon, Jr., has been organizing a com
bination among the newsboys of Lincoln
for the purpose of advancing the price
of local papers sold in the streots.
Young Sheldon himself Is the most In
fluential newsboy in Lincoln. He noit
only sells papers, but he goes barefoot,
consorts with poor ragged newsboys with
out assuming any airs of superiority, and
on occasion even sells lemonade In the
Capitol building near his father's office.
He sold papers and lemonade on the fair
grounds during the recent state faif.
Two of the newsboys refused to go into
the combination, but young Sheldon, It
is said, forced them In. He rules the
combination. His most Intimate chum is
"Red" Magulre, a red-headed newsboy
who drifted into Lincoln from Butte,
*.-_nt, recently. --ed" is a "scrapper,"
and he and the governor's son are very
fond of eat other and are very much
together.
Gov. Sheldon encourages hl« boy to
go out and sell newspapers and lemon
ade, believing that it is good for him
¦to engage In business on his own account
and brush up against other boys.

CATHEDRAL
CORNER BTONE FOR BIG STRUC.
TURE IS LAID
Bishop of London and Chief Executive
of United States Exchange Corti.
pllments— Great Day for
Episcopal Church
By Associated Frus.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Today wit
nessed two events here of general Interest
to the religious world at large and espe
cially to the Episcopal church. The first
and chief o& these events was the laying
of the foundation stone of the Cathedral
of faints Peter and Paul at Mount St.
Alban, Wisconsin avenue. The other was
the great open air service on the same
grounds, under the auspices of the inter
national convention of the Brotherhood of
St. Andrew, which brought to a close the
convention which has been in session hero
for the past week. The corner stone lay
ing was under the guidance of the Epis
copal church In America.
With befitting ceremony and «olemnity
the foundation Btone of what promises to
equal In point of architecture and outlay
the most magnificent cathedrals in the
world was laid at noon. It was a notablu
occasion, made more so by the presence
of the president of the United States, the
bishop of London, Rt. Rev. A. F. Win
nington Ingram, who delivered the saluta
tion f~ Bishop Satterlee of the diocese of
Washington, who performed the ceremony
of laying the foundation stone, and many
other bishops of the church.
The ceremony began with the proces
sion of 300 choir boys, followed by the
bishops, the clergy, the cathedral chap
ter, the cathedral council and the Marine
band, playing Mendelssohn's "Hymn of
Praise, which was sung by the choir as
the procession marched into the amphi
theater, the ceremony of laying the
foundation stone completed, Bishop Sat
terlee Introduced Presiderit Roosevelt, who
"I have to say but one word of greeting
to you today and to wish you Godspeed
in the worit begun this noon. The saluta
tion Is to be delivered by our guest, the
bishop of London, who has a right to
speak to us because he has shown In his
life that he treats high officials as high
officials Should alone be treated, either
in church or state, and above all In a
democracy Such as ours; elmply as giv
ing a chance to render service. If efffice
is accepted by any man for Its own sake,
and because of the honor it is felt to con
fer he accepts it to his own harm and to
the Infinite harm of those whom he ought
to serve. Its sole value comes in the
state, but above all its sole value comes
in the church if it Is seized by the man
who holds it as giving the chance to do
yet mora useful work for the people
whom he serves.
Tribute to Ingram
"I greet you here, Bishop Ingram, be
cause you have used your office In the
aid of mankind; that while you have
served all, you have realized that the
greatest need of service was f&r Whom
least has been given in this world.
"I believe so Implicitly In the good that
will be done by and through this cathe
dral, BUhop Satterlee, because I know
that you and those with you, the people
of your church, the people of your kin
dred churches to one of which 1 belong,
are growing more and more to realist, to
show by their lives how well they ap
preciate the truth of the text that they
shall be judged by their fruits. More and
more we have grown to realize that t»e
work of the profession of the men of any
creed must largely be determined by the
conduct of the men making these profes
sions, that conduct Is the toughest one
by which we must tett their- character
and their services. The times are evil;
/that Is, there Is much that Is evil in
Them. It would be to our shame and dis
credit If we failed to realize that evil,
If we wrapped ourselves In the mantle
of a foolish optimism and failed to war
with heart and strength against the evil.
It would be equally to our discredit If
we tank back in sullen pessimism an<>
declined to strive for good because we
feared the strength of evil. There Is
much evil; there 1b much good, too; and
one of the good things is that more and
more we must realize that there Is such
a thing as a real Christian fellowship
among men of different creeds, and that
the real field for rivalry among and be
tween the creeds comes In the rivalry of
individual* to tee which can render best
service to mankind; which can do the
work of the iLord. best by doing his work
for the people.
"I thank you for giving me a chance
to say these words of greeting today."
Following the address of the president
the bishop of London delivered the salu
tation. Turning toward the president he
thanked him for his presence, "amid all
his multitudenete duties." He aled' ex
preesed his thanks for the "burning words
of encouragement and inspiration of the
president, which," he said, "would send
him back across the seaß inspired for his
work." The bishop then referred to the
Canterbury pulpit which he brought over
AS a gift to the cathedral. "I come," he
said, "as the successor of St. Augustine,
champion mlletus, to bring you from the
old dioctse of London from which you
one day were a part, a real message of
love and God speed."
