A Sheer Waste of the Peoples

MOney.
The question of a nstitutional
Convention should byIall means be
voted down i'll the ID moe cratic pri-
mary on November 6tl. We see no
need of spending 100000 for this
purpose. Our present Constitution
is only fifteen years 9ld, and if it
needs additional amend ling the next
Legislature can do t bat. a new
Constitutional Convent ion would be
a sheer waste of the pePpIe's money.

SANTA FE's ULT1mArUM.
Controversy With Kansas City Over
Part of Street

The Santa F'e Railway company. which
as Kansas City views it, is asking $47.-
600 worth of land from the city in re-
turn for building an approach to the AL
len avenue viaduct, sent a proposition
to the authorities, yesterday, giving them
until October Is to answer. Quite a con-
troversy has arisen over these negotia-
tions.
In the Santa FEES communication to
the committee it says: 1--WE believe that
for the amount to be paid for the Allen
avenue approach to the viaduct we
would be paying too high price for the
land. We should like to see Liberty
street left open, so that our men might
walk to and from work on it, but if our
proposition is accepted we will not hang
back in the matter. We acknowledge
our obligation to pay our share of the
cost of the original viaduct but the AL
len avenue approach is a separate mat
ter"
The land in controversy is located on
Kansas avenue, from Hickory to Liber-
ty streets, and on Liberty street from
Wyoming to a point past Nineteenth
street. According to estimates placed on
the property by the Kansas City people
the land asked for by the road is worth
about $4,000. The approach to the AL
len street viaduct which is built by the
railroad is estimated by Kansas City to
be worth from S., 900 to 5000 The mat
ter will be taken up by the Kansas City
people some time after next week and
some settlement agreed upon.

THE BRIAR-ROOT INDUSTRY
[From the London Times.1

Mr.. Carmichael, British vice consul at
Ieghorn, devotes an interesting section Of
the report on his district net f TOT the pest s5
dustry. The wood, he says, from which
briar pipes are made, is not the root Of
the briar rose, but the root of the large
heath known in botany as Erica arborea-
Our "briar' is but a corruption of the
briar-root industry has had a somewhat
curious history. First begun in the Pyre-
along the French Riviera and the Ligu-
rian coast, taking Corsica by the way,
to the Tuscan Maremna, and it has now
reached Calabria in the south, which is
at present its most dourishing center
Naturally, when a district has been ex-
hausted of all its roots the industry must
come to an end there, and the opinion
has been expressed that the Italian
been the center of the export of Tuscan
came into existence, but, the south
Italian briar is of superior quality, large
ported into Leghorn for selection and sub
sequent export The total export from
weight in the year, valued at about 92s,-
600. Fully half the export is Calabrian
horn has already been cut on the spot into
the shape in which it is exported to the
principally. as regards Italian briar, St
Cloud in France, Nuremberg in Bavaria
and various towns in Rhenish Prussia and
The roots, which are sometimes of a
circumference of two feet or more, are
cut into blocks and then boiled. If there
is any defect in the root which has not
been discovered before the boiling process
the blocks viii split sooner or later.
Briar-root blocks are cut into about Is
different sizes and three principal shapes:
The shapes are ''Marseillaise," relieve
and Belgian" The first two are the more
usual shapes; from the first are cut the
ordinary briar pipes. which have bowl and
stem at right angles; relieve blocks are
cut into a shape for hanging pipes, and
Belgian blocks, for which there is but
small demand, are shaped to fashion into
pipes which have bowl and stem at an
obtuse angie The minimum size of the
'*Marseillaise' blocks is about three
inches long, two inches thick and one and
a half inches broad The Calabrian
blocks, selected at Leghorn and exported
thence, seem to be in favor with the
trade as they remain so long on the deal
ers hands that they would be almost GER
tain to split before export If they were
defective. A Leghorn dealer who does his
own cutting in Calabria has first to send
the roots by wagon to his workshops,
again by wagon to the seacoast, where
they are placed in lighters for shipment
to Ieghorn. At Leghorn they are once
more transferred to lighters and placed
in carts for transport to the warehouses,
where they are unpacked for selection
They are then repacked in bales and
carted to the goods station for conveyance
abroad Hence q considerable time
must eIapse before they leave the hands
in CaIabria- A considerable number of
blocks are sent to the United States, but,
apparently, none whatever TO the United
Kingdom.

First of 20 Passenger LOcOmo-

An unusually large amount Of new
equipment is being ordered this season
by the railroads. The Santa Fe will
make big additions to its rolling stock
this fall. The first consignment OF the
20 large passenger locomotives being
built for this road at the Rhode Island
Locomotive works, and intended for the
California limited that is to be put on
again in November, is expected to ar
rive here about October Is.
Besides all the ordinary work of con-

Gently placed, the Santa Fe is now in
the market for 300 coal cars. The COM
pany has been short of this latter class
of equipment for some little time past
and the shortage made itself more ap-
parent in the handling of heavy fall
deliveries.
Generally speaking, larger freight cars
demand, and the roads that have let
contracts have stipulated that the loco
motives shall be able to output the
powerful moguls turned out few years
ago. The Kansas City Southern is re-
ported to have contracted for the con-
Struction of ten compound locomotives,
and the Oregon Short Line has solicited
bids for ten ''consolidateds." The Chi
cago Great Western has placed an or
der for ten Baldwin compound locomo-
tives. The Missouri Pacific and the
wabash have, during the season, placed
large orders for passenger and freight
locomotives, passenger coaches and box
cars and coal cars. The Frisco and the
Cotton Belt have done the same.
