Large quantities of cultivated ca
naigre root are being brought into the
city from Lieutenant Bryan's ranch
near Scottsdale. The cultivated root
is about three times the size of the wild
root, although it was sown from wild
seed. The Indians on the reservation
up the river have found that a COM
mercial value is attached to the root
and they are now gathering and selling
it. A large quantity of the root in the
wild state is growing on the reserva-
ton.
| Out at the asylum the sewer to the
river is now nearly complete, having
been built from the river to within the

ter of flushing has been provided for,
however. by a standpipe at the asy-
lum, thirty feet in height, and no
trouble is apprehended in keeping the
sewage moving.
