I AMERICAN RAILROAD-TIES IN HONDURAS-

A railroad in Honduras which hasjust been opened to traffic as far asCeiba 35 miles was built with creo-soted pine ties from the United States

The increased value of wood thuspreserved is now well recognized byrailroad men The life of a railroadtic may be greatly lengthened and

I sometimes more than doubled byI preservative treatment In a humidI chmate like that of Honduras a pinetie in its natural state would bequickly destroyed by fungus

Large railroads of the United Statestreat with preservatives many or allof the new ties put in One road issjiirl tb treat 10000 a day The in-creasing

¬

difficulty of procuring neW-t es with the advancing prices com-pels

¬

railroads to make them last aslong as possible It has been estimat-er that the railroads of th UnitedStates demand in a single year theties growing on a forest strip one milewide and three thousand miles long-

It is worthy of note that while creosoted pine ties are being shippedfrom the United States to Hondurashardwoods are coming to the UnitedStates from that country Americansarc doing the shipping both ways Atract of 8000 acres in Honduras has

I been secured an American com-pany which will cut the mahoganya-nd other valuable hardwoods andship them to the United States
