\ Who Has Voice of "
Wonderful Range
"PLAY POKER? NOT
I!" SAYS INVENTOR
Ignorance of Ganie Might Cause
' Him to Lay Down a
King Full
—.George Gates of San Jose Is not a
poker player, although he is holding a
hand at present which will bring him
and his associates something like $17.
000,000 when the pot Is opened. Gates
Is the man who has invented the con
crete railroad tie and who has' sud
denly bounded from the quiet distinc
tion of living In San Jose to the inter
national honor of having invented what
is believed to be the first practical sub
stitute for- wood railroad ties. The
Gates concrete tie company of San Jose
and the National concrete manufactur
i ing company of Stockton have Just been
Incorporated with a capital of $17,000,
000 and for the purpose of revolution
izing the railroad tie business.
In reporting the achievement of
Gates In disposing of his patent so ad
vantageously The Call suggested, by
way of a figure of speech, that the. In
ventor was a poker flayer. While the
close friends of Gates know that he
is not a card player and, as he himself
admitted, never "sat into a game,"
Gates Is apprehensive lest those who
do not know him so well might asso
ciate him with the elusive three of a
kind or the, disdainful king full on
