THE anti-rebate law passed by the
last legislature, will soon go into effect
The railroads have been advising and
consulting as to the effect of its provi-
sions, and have decided among other
things to call in the passes that are
out. The International & Great North
ern railroad has written to Governor
Sayers, all the members of the state
government including Attorney Gen
eral Smith and his Office assistants,
and to the members of the legislature
that all annual passes must be called
in at once, or they will not be honored
after the 25th; that If later the court
holds that the anti-rebate law does not
apply to passes, they will be returned.
The question naturally arises, II the
law maker think it is wroLg for the
railroad companies to Issue passes, why
do they take advantage OF the wrong?
Is it because it is benefit precarious-
ly to them? Or do they regard rail-
road corporations rs common enemy,
fit for state gems and spoils?

NOTHING adds more to the material
wealth of q community, than a system
of good roads. The outlying parts OF
the community are brought into close
contact with the commercial centers,
produce of all sorts is handled at less
cost, quick intercourse between the
country and the city Is established, and
the benefits are permanent. The agi-
tstion over good roads has Quoted
down some. but it lin good cause:and
should be continued. The St. Paul
Globe speaks to the point: "This ma
ton must sooner or later turn its
thought seriously to the problem of
road building. The ANTICIPATED and
stupid methods which now prevail will
no longer do. Those who undertake to
build our roads must have the neces-
sary understanding of the work before
them. The primitive plan of having
the farmer work out his tax by doing
his share of work for which he has as
little fitness as be has for doing any
other form of skilled labor outside of
his own calling must give way"

Kissing Soup Parties In Virginia.

A novel custom, started in the days
of the Civil War, prevails in the east
ern part of West Virginia. At Shep.
herdstown they have picnic called
soups. Each person invited brings a
dressed chicken, the host providing the
vegetables Poultry and vegetables
are placed in large kettles holding
from ten to twenty gallons, and the
combination in cooked over open fires
for several hours, or until it is reduced
almost to jelly. Pepper and other
seasonings are introduced. The girls
and young fellows stir the soup with
long handled iron spoons, keeping up
march or walk around the kettles as
they do SO. When q girls spoon clicks
against the spoon of young man, he is
at liberty to catch and kiss her. or
course, there are many lively skir
mishes and great deal of fun in the
game. When the soup is done it is
ladled out into plates and eaten. 1t is
said to be delicious. The custom owes
its origin to company of Stonewell
Jackson's men who were recruited in
that part of the state. These former
Confeds keep up their organization.
They have reunion once year, at
which they celebrate with grand
''soup''. 1t is said that a ''soup" pro-
perly gotten up should be made of
stolen chickens, but the veterans had
to give up foraging after the war and
make compromise by going around
in squads and robbing each others
roots by mutual understanding.

THE questions of political succession

the resignation of the whole court in
Starr county is agitating the state, and
is raising some nice questions for the
state authorities it settle. When the
majority of a commissioners court re-
sign how can their designations be &C
cepted? Can the commissioners act
on their own designations? If they can
then any board of commissioners can
go out of Office at any time and as
there is no law providing for such a
thing then the whole commissioners
machinery Is at a standstiQ and the
county courts are for the time abolish
ed. It would seem that the more SEN
sible ruling would be that member of
the county commission could not act

A prominent engineer who has re.
Gently returned from Western Ch1hua-
bua speaks in glowing terms of the
coast country especially the region
about TopOlobampo. He says the
streams, which are numerous, have in
exhaustible wealth of gold and as for
the riches already extracted from the
rivers they are all insignificant COM
pared with those still contained under
the surface of the earth.
The fabulouely rich deposits of sill
yer ore at Pilares de Peras, on the
Sonora side, where A. j. King, j. h.
McKimm and Jesus Santa Cruz have
been digging some high grade ores for
over year from the mines known as
Cinco de Mayo, Noche Triste, Roy, Ell
Puente and San Rafaelito, discovered
by Mexican, whose occupation was
distilling the msguey production into
that vile 6rewater called mescal. This
mans name was Julian Palafox, and
he had in his employ two men. Manuel
Sierra and GersrdO Rivera, who
would climb the mountain sides to cut
down the maguey plants.
The former, while at work missed the
root of the plant he was chopping with
an ak, cut into the rock, causing silver
ore to adhere to the roots of the ma
guey. This was noticed by Palafox,
character of the ore the next day.
There they located the first mine in the
district. 1t is known as the Santana.
Since that date over ST. ,OOO. 900 has
been taken from the same mountain,
and the mines show ore for hard work
for years to come. The California Is
vein fully twelve feet wide and con-
tains much ore which assays from S12
to 5000 per ton in gold. The Arizona.
another vein of this camp, is forty feet
wide in places and where the gulches
have scored it deeply it assays over $40
gold from wall to wall. Moritz has q
vein whose surface rock, in streak OF
four to eight inches assays over $40, 200
in gold. The ledge is about ten feet
wide and large part of the vein mat
ter is hard quartz, assaying $500 in
gold. The development of this claim
shows the rich streaks to run up the
mountain for over 300 feet, along the
vein, and 80 valuable is this ore that
the vein was stripped of it at the sur
face before specimen fends could carry
away much of value.-Chihuahua En-

Competent authorities place the new

miles, Il greater total than for a half
dozen years past. 1t is said that already
contracts have been let or arrange

under construction. Among the states
of the northwest which is receiving
much attention in railroad building is
Idaho, in which state it is estimated
about 400 miles will be constructed this
year, which will probably put Idaho at
the head of the list for the present year
in the matter Of new mileage. The
total number of new railroads "pro-

10000 miles, but it is rot believed the
amount will exceed 5000 miles, which

Then he began to believe he had been

as to how his letter would be received
