For The Wise

William Lyon Phelps says that outside the Bible the six most famous words in dl the literature of the world are Shakespeare's "To be or not to be" from Hamlet. These six words co:rtain only six of the letters of the alphabet' and yet, says Phelps, into those words are packed most of the wisdom of the world.

Treqted Lumber on Scnrtq Fe Road

The history of treated timber on the Santa Fe System began in 1875 when a plant was constructed at Galveston, Texas' to treat piles for the Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe trestle bridge in Galveston Bay. Since that time, this railroad has extended the application of the preservative treatment of u'ood to a wide variety of uses throughout its installations' At present, it operates two large pressure treating plants on its lines at Somerville, Texas, and at Albuquerque, Nerv llexico' The plants treat crossties, piles, bridge timbers, poles, fence posts and lurnber for many miscellaneous requirements, such as drain boxes, grade crossings, platforms, loading docks and building foundations.

As might be expected from so long a record of achievement in the field of wood preservation, the Santa Fe now has in its lines many timber trestle bridges which have reached an age of 40 years or.more. These structures exemplify the service which can be expected from sound timber properly pressure treated before placement in exposed locations'
