Cuitivsting the Cama,g,-.

The extensive cultivation of the can.
aigre plant, which Is found growing
without irrigation in many portions of
New Mexico, Is contemplated. The
tubers produced by this plant yield q
large percentage of tannin, superior to
that extracted from hemlock bark, and
not inferior to the oak bark product.
This plant, like the mesquite, thrives
in the driest seasons and in soils,
where, apparently, there is very little
moisture. After maturity the tubers
dry in the ground, and often remain for
years without decaying. The proper.
ties of this plant, like the soap weed,
the root of which is used by the natives
instead of soap, have been known to
the natives of New Mexico for years.
The properties of the soap weed are
only just beginning to be known to
Americans. While the Mexicans have
used the bruised roots Of this plant for
toilet and laundry purposes for years
without attempting to get it in a more
convenient form, enterprising Ameri-
cans have succeeded in extracting the
useful part, aud variety of toilet
Preparations having the Mexican amols
or soap weed as basis are on the
market.

Bad Wreck Averted.

Had it not been for the quickness of
Newton Baxter Saturday morning a
bad accident might have occurred
at Wedron. The Paw Paw mad
run in on the switch to let the north
bound freight pass, and when the
freight had gone by, pulled out upon
the main track. When the freight
had reached the top of the hill, and
the Paw Paw had passed partially out
upon the track, Mr.. Baxter noticed
that the freight had broken into two
parts and that the rear end was COM
ing down the hill DIT rapid rate. He
shouted to the conductor, and while
the latter grasped the brake, he (BaX-
ter pulled the pin and the passenger
car was stopped not over twelve feet
from the frog. 1t was just in time,
for the cab Of the freight crashed into
the back end of the car just ahead
and both cars were smashed into kind
ling wood. Had Mr.. Baxter delayed
ten second the passenger car, contain
ing over forty people, would have suf-
fered The fate of the car ahead.

The much-talked-Of Twin Bluffs
road" has been completed from the
county asylum TO the top Of the hill.
The work Of Contractor McQuade is
exceptionally well done. The grade,
naturally steep, is easy, the road way
is wide, well drained, and on the hill
side well supported and protected from
washing by a foundation OF sandstone
thrown out by blasting in cutting
down the grade. 1t is, in fact, one Of
the best pieces Of road building we
have seen in the town Of Ottawa in
many years. AS it has cost good deal
more than the amount to be paid by
the town $1,000, the taxpayers may
congratulate themselves on getting
out of 50 expensive job at so low a
cost to them, the extra expense being
met by the Peerless Brick company.
Yesterday afternoon number OF
taxpayers, all conservative men, at
the request Of the contractor, went
down to see the new road, and all pro-
nOunced it eXcellent-much better
than they had expected TO see: and
their opinion we print below:
OTTAWA, July 3, 1890.
The undersigned. as private citizens
of Ottawa. by request, visited Twin
Bluffs last spring and then suggested
to the highway commissioners that
they complete the road from the canal
up the western slope, letting the work
by contract. They visited the same
locality this day and find the road
completed and the work done in a
very satisfactory manner, including
approaches to bridge, excavation and
grading on the hillside. From the re-
port of Robert Wilson, c. E., we are
of the opinion that the terms of the
contract have been fully complied
with by the contractor. We see no
reason why the commissioners should
not accept the work and order it paid
for according to contract.
WIN. CULLEN,
WIN. w. TAYLOR,
}. Il. SHAVER,
MARTIN FLAIIERTY,
DANIEL MASON,
IRA NELSON.
HENRY HOLMES.
There seems to be some disposition
on the part Of the commissioners to
delay accepting the road-it is diff
cult to see why, unless the road is too
good. 1t is certainly IA testimonial"
to the contract system Of road build
ing, of the kind a patent medicine
firm would bewilling to pay big monev
for, and an active pleader for contract
work in the future in the place Of the
helter-Skelter work ''by the day." as
now generally in vogue.

Virginia has one Of the very best country
highways in the United States. This may ap-
pear incredible to some, but still it is fact.
1t is the turnpike from Winchester to Staun-
ton, which, macadamized about thirty years
ago. stood the wear and tear of the war; and
from that time to the present, with but little
repair, has been kept in excellent condition.
The mere recital of this fact teaches che valu-
able lesson 1t pays to construct frst-class
country roads. 1t saves the farmer many hun
dred times the trif1ing amount he has to pay
out for taxes to maintain such highway, for
his wagons and teams are not racked all to
pieces as they are on roads on which they are
stalled by mud and mire, OF which are other
wise in bad condition. Good country roads
that is, how to get them and to keep them-is
one of the most important problems which the
southern farmer has to solve However, it
would seem that the Winchester-Staunton
turnpike shows the proper solution.-Peters-
Jnrg Iader-Appeat.
Well the proper solution,'' and we have
long held that view. is that the making of
roads in the State must be done by the
State. That was the way the Winchester
Staunton turnpike was built, and it is a
monument to the wisdom of the system.
This planet will grow stone cold before the
counties of Virginia will ever, of their own
accord, build such roads as the Winchester
Staunton pike through their limits. There
has been enough road-work, SO called, done
under the road systems of Virginia, to have
erected an Egyptian pyramid at every
CROSSROADS, and what is there to show for
it?

The Baltimore Sun closed up the year by
getting out an edition Of its Weekly that
has not been approached in the South. Some
Of the good things in it were by the most
distinguished authors of the day. There
was ':Christmas Thrice with the Haws-
leys," a story, the joint-work of Rev. T.
Dewitt Talmage and Mrs. Marion White:
''Baker of Barnbury," a Christmas story,
by Frank r. Stockton; ''Chlistmas in
Poland,'' by Madame Modjeska; "Christ-
mas Time" by Amelia E. Barr; ga Con-
federate Doll,'' by Mrs. E. D. L. Lewis

Chandler Harris; "With the EsquimauX, D
by w. II. Glider, and "Christmas Oh a
Ranch, by Theodore Roosevelt. We will
not miss it much if we say that no paper in
the United States presented a Christmas
edition with such galaxy of noted writer's
One of those writer's, Mrs. Lewis OF
Lynchburg, is Virginian. Her story is a
touching one, with much of the tender
pathos of Thomas Nelson Page and a mas
terry of dialect that rivals that of that
famous writer. Her picture OF hOme-life
at the South during the civil war is graphic
and drawn from life, with the light and
shade of an artist S hand. We shall look
with interest for more of t he work of this
author.
