SAS Francisco, Oct. ga novel indus
try has been started in the San Joaquin
valley by Chicago tanners. who selected
California. for climatic and other natural
reasons, for their extensive operations. Ii
means the employment of large forces OF
workmen and the expenditure of large
sums OF money. The tanners are to culti-
vate weed with roots that can tan the
leather better than anything else on earth.
The men who had most to do in establish
ing the enterprise are Prof. c. A. Guliev,
J. III. Carothers and III. NJ. Davies. Of Chi
cago. who are said to represent two OF the
largest tanneries in the world. A con-
tract was closed through the Southern
Pacific land department whereby 5000
acres of land in the San Joaquin valley
were purchased for the new industry. The
land Is situated about eight miles north
west from MERGED. and is part of the inn
menss tract owned by a Chicago concern.
SIXTY families in or near Chicago have
been notified to move q: once to MERGED,
aud before the end of this week they will
be there on the land. Ii is expected that
at least 800 families will be placed on the
5000 acres as soon as operations are fully
under way.
The scheme is to plant canaigre. o weed
of the dock genus, over the broad acres.
This vegetable contains from . to 80 per
cent. of fannie acid, which can be ex-
tracted by q chemical process at small
expense and large profits to the producer.
Two hundred car loads. of twelve tons
each. in roots, have been ordered from the
mountains of New Mexico, where it
abounds In its habitat. 1t produces
fifteen tons of roots to the acre. and grows
in January, February and March. so that
the crop must be put into the ground at
once TO secure a return next year. The
producers expect 10 get about 500 car loads
of the concentrated canaigre acid per year,
amounting to 5000 tons. This product
will be shipped to Chicago for use in tan
neries near the stock yards. In addition
to growing the plant thsre will be extern
siye works for reducing the roots into
pulp composed mostly of fannie acid. The
factory and other buildings, dwellings.
ETC.. will cost about $500. 900. If the enter
prise proves successful it is believed the
experiment will be followed by many
ranehers, and then a new industry of con-
siderable importance will be established in

A New Route Between Seattle

FIRST TRAIN OVER THE CUTOFF.
The Pacific Northwest Brought Into

OMAHA, Oct. cS-Today the Burlington
began the regular running OF trains TO
Billings, Mont. and. by way of the North
ern Pacific, TO Helena, Spokane, Butte.
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and all other
Northern Idaho, Montana and Puget
sound points. thereby giving to the rail-
road world another transcontinental line.
which will play no inconsequential part in
the matter of freight and passenger traffic
in the future.
There was considerable of crowd Of
people at the Union depot to see the train
and the people who would make the first
regular run over the new extension OF the
Burlington from Sheridan, Wyo., TO Biz
nngs. Mont, distance of IA miles. which
has been constructed this year. the con-
struction gang laying on an average a
mile and q half of track day. The build
ing of this line is of incaleulable benefit TO
Omaha, Kansas City, st. Louis and Chi
cage, bringing territory OF some 800
miles. in extent almost to the doors of
these cities. The country to the northwest
has been almost q sealed book to the
jobbing and wholesale interests of the
big cities along the Missouri, as well as
Illinois and the more remote East. The
road traverses the entire length of the
Crow reservation, and permission OF the
United States government had to be OBJ
tanned, as well as the consent Of the Crow
chiefs. before the work of building the
road was begun, and more interested lot
of people could not be found than the
Crows we're during ths progress OF the
grading and laying of track, ana when the
first train rushed through the Crow coun-
try the red men woke up TO realize the
fact that the time is not far distant when
the white man will be asking congress to
open the Crow reservation TO white settle
ment. The line passes through the valleys
of Little and Big Goose creeks. Tongue
river, the Little Big Horn. where Custer
made his last stand against the Sioux,
across and down the Big Horn to the val
ley of the Yellowstone. which is brought
almost into the back yard of Missouri

Chinese Certificate Frauds.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 26.-M. b. Hurley
special government agent from Chicago,
has been on the Pacific Coast for months
investigating the Chinese certificate
frauds. He is now in Los Angeles. In
vestigations in Washington. Oregon and
California have revealed the fact that
thousands of fraudulent registration GER
tihcates are aaoat. 1t is estimated bat
there are fully 1000 of these bogus cerufi-
Gates in this state. They have not all
been used. but those not used are for sale
by the Chinese and white agents. Infor-
nation in Harley's possession will
probably lead 10 several arrests.
The fraud has not only been perpeirated
by printing fraudulent certificates, but
there have been many forgeries and suhsti-
buttons of names and pictures. The COM
mon characteristics Of the Chinese make il
easy TO substitute the photograph Of one
man for another. In cases where the
registered Chinese have died or gone TO
China, this deception has been frequently
