that official at complying with the
Looney law. The people are interested
in having good roads, and are espec.
tally interested in the solution of the
question as TO whether il is feasible 10
build them with convict labor.
From Mr.. Lees statement II appears
that he has not exercised his authority
to employ surveying or engineering
skill to exceed $40, and has not EN-.
ployed any guards at all. All that he
has done has been done at the least pos
sible expense, and it will be conceded
that he has done a great deal for the
money. From what he says as to the
prospect for working the Turner road
it does not look as though there would
be any great impression made on the
usual waterway that exists a great share
of the winter from the Capitol to the
Reform school. That will probably re-
main as near a submarine causeway as
it always has been.
II was the plain intention of the
Looney law to employ the almost un-
limited supply Of unemployed convict
labor that the authorities have com.
planned so much about. The piece OF
road built by Farmer Porter, under
Supt. Gilbert, along by the prison brick
yards showed what could be done with
out the law. Under this law just as
good road as Gilbert built can be. con.
structed from Salem TO all the state in
stitutions-and especially through the
sub-aqueous region where the people
have to travel to the reform school. A
boulevard at least forty feet wide ON top,
at least two to four feet above high
water level, and constructed 10 shed
water, out OF the natural material AT
hand, with ornamental trees planted ON
each side-such boulevard would be an
object lesson Of enterprise and intelli-
gence 90 the whole state.
Such roads can be built. They should
be built under direction of good engi-
neering skin. They should be- built
just as well as any railroad.
They are more important to the
people than railroad. The state OF
Oregon should set the example ofsno
more patchwork and timekeeping with
road-building. With unemployed con-
yict labor with more money than seems
TO be required for supervision, the re-
suit should be triumph Of scientific
road building. THE Journal believes
Gov. Geer and Supt. Ice will regard
tins matter from progressive stand
point. They are native Oregonians and
have been tlounderiug in bad roads all
their lives. Il devolves upon them To
rise 10 the occasion and build some
roads that other people can travel utter
they are out OF office and can say with
satisfaction, this road was built under
the Looney law by the Geer administra-
ton. We believe they will enable the
public, 10 some extent at least, 10 pass
some such remarks when they travel
the state roads about Salem.

fer it again and again. The strictest watch
must be kept over the little ones continually
by an older person, and instaneY are known 9 tn
OF Where the watcher has evenGuccumDeo 10
the disease, for such it must be without
doubt
1t is not only the small children who are
numbered among the clay eaters, for those
within few years of attaining their ma
jority likewise die from the effects OF hlllng
their StonachS with the clay.
The symptoms are so marked that in Guate-
rnala they noued Immediately. The one
ndulging in the strange habit presents
sickly, pallid blush color. With no appette'
there is an apparent plumpness about the
body. The face becomes puffed out, the ap-
domen is greatly distended, and the llmos
swell up terribly. The sufferer is loath TO
move and will not do so unless forced. me
eyes sink in the head and become glazed.
The whole appearance is that of person
with the dropsy. When eaten the clay has
cumulative effect, and the various organs
fail to perform their functions. The patient
finally dies a horrible death, the BODY not
infrequently swelling to that it bursts, ana
death results from suffocation.
The only real cure known, or what is sup
posed to be one, is the use of strong TOBACCO.
If child of not more than three OF 1our
years of age is putting away at puro'
a big black native cigar, it is certainty
that the kid has been caught in the act OF
eating clay and that the smoking is TO take
away any further craving in that me wnltn ~
may exist The smoking is not supposed TO
injure the child in the least, as the young
sters of the tropics take to this as naturally
as a duck does to water. The use OF TOBACCO
does not appear to have the slightest Ill ell
feet upon them.
1t may be that little Guatemaltecos, as the
natives of that country are called, having no
candy, as do those of other countries, to sat
sfy an inherent desire for sweets, select the
clay as the next best next worst thing,
as the case may be. Many deaths are caused
by it, and, so far the only remedy appears
to be in watching the child so closely that 1t
is not allowed to satiate it's cravings for
something that will in the end cause death
as certainly as if the most noxious poison
were used
To satisfy their longing for "dulce," or
something sweet, the children also make
themselves ill by sucking the cherry of the
coffee tree. Two coffee beans, with their f1at
sides one to another, grow in a hull which
is almost identical in looks with the oX-heart
cherry. The inside of this has a bitter sweet
TASTE which, when there is no. clay to be
had is much sought after. While not as dan
gerous as the clay, it still has bad effect
on child who eats it.
The Saint Paul globe., 1899-04-02
GUATEMALAN CLAY EATERS.

"Ramundo died last night, patrone," said
the old Indian to the administrator of the
coffee plantation, "finca," they are
called in Guatemala The Indian what
is termed corporal" or, in English, a fore
man. He was making his morning report to
the overseer. He continued in Spanish:
I'VE had been expecting it for several days,
senior. You yourself have seen how the boy
was swollen. He mad touched food for a
week. He could not move. was awakened
some time in the night by scream which
made my blood run cold. Then there was a
sound as if something had exploded. I lighted
the candle. 1t was Ramundo, patrone. We
could not make him stop eating the clay, and
now he is dead
Directions were given for interring the body
of the H-year-old boy, who had become one
Of the hundreds of annual victims of the
deadly habit OF eating certain kind of clay
which is found in many sections of Guatemala
and of Central America
The craving which alficts the children of
the Indians is almost an nexplicable one,
even to those who have studied the subject
The only theory which has been given is that
the victims are attracted by the sweetish
taste which the clay possesses.
In appearance it is gray, with aecks Of
some mineral substance shining through it..
which somewhat resembles mica When first
discovered on the hlllslues, where the soil
has been washed away by the heavy rains
OF the wet season, it is soft to the touch,
about the consistency of putty. On being ex-
posed to the sun for short while it hardens
and can be crumbled to pieces in the fingers.
On tasting it it is found to have a decided
saccharne flavor mixed with the earthly one
It is hard to conceive how it can appeal to
the palate Of a human being, but it is a fact
that from the time the baby is emancipated
from the mantle which binds it to it's mothers
back and can toddle about unmatched, the
little half-breeds, with unerring instinct, find
the clay, and not being content with putting
it in their mouths and sucking it, swallow it
in toto. No amount of scolding or even beat
ing will prevent a child who has once tasted
the stuff from indulging his or her craving
