WAYSIDE NOTES.

Sunday morning we were up at day. hreak. our animals were saddled, and we started for the ferry across the Yauui. about a mile away. Here we found the pack train of MT. Antunez waiting to cross the river, and we breakfasted before crossing. The ferry consisted of two small flat-bot- toned skiffs, one about fifteen feet in length, the other about twenty, and both with beam of about eight feet. Upon the other side was another train crossing in the opposite direction, and for little time there was presented quite an animated scene. First the saddles, merchandise, etc, were laden in the boats and crossed, and then the animals. crossed with the first load, and sat upon the bank and watched operations. After the freight was all crossed the mules and horses were driven into the river and swan across without any further attention. But the burros had to be dragged into the water, their heads lashed to the gunwales of the boats and the animals lowed over. Most of them had to be not only dragged into the river, but piled into it with long pole. One man in the boat with lariat thrown around the burro's neck pulled and tupged. while another behind the beast inserted the long pole between it's hind legs and boosed. Together they would succeed in getting the animal to it's place alongside the skli1, lash it's head, and proceed to take in another. When they had three so secured upon each side of the skin 1t was rowed over and the animals turn. ed loose on the other side. One re- calcitrant burro could not be got into the water in any way. Finally several men lifted him up bodily, threw him into the boat, and he crossed without getting his hide wet. While the mules and horses were crossed without difficulty they made a good deal CT champiLg and snorting while they were crossing over, with nothing but their heads visible. As sat upon the bank and watched my mule com ing across l could not help the rehec- tiOn that it was much more comtort- able looking between her ears from my then elevated position than from her back, as l did when 1 had crossed her alone but three days before. At the place where I crossed at that time the river was much wider than at the ferry, and the channel where the mule had to swim was much narrower, but the water was very swift, and l am assured that I accomplished an undertaking "muy peligroso" Ivery dangerous). l begin to think so my self. But then everything goes" ln this country as MT. T. J Roush ol Nogales, frequently informs me.

region, calling my attention to vari- ous trees, plants and shrubs abundant therein, and giving me information regarding theii utility and the uses to which they are put. jotted down the names of few, and upon reading over my note book l find then worthy of transcription.
 The ''chicurilla" is bush similar in size and general appearance to the hazel brush of the western states. and its soft, green leaves smell and taste somewhat like peppermint, but not quite so pungent. Cattle are very fond of the leaves and twigs, and 1t has upon them a very fattenng effect. The recent rains have brought out the leaves very profusely, and every where in this part of Sonora the cat tie is showing the effect of this feed and there are also several varieties of good grasses.and other pasture upon the ranges.
 The "mauto" is another bush the bark of which is good for tanning purposes and is used in making leather.
 The "brazil" is a small tree from the wood of which Is extracted by sleeping in hot water, a beautiful crimson dye for coloring woolen and cotton fabrics The decoction is said to be also good for pulmonary troubles, the patient bathing in 1t.
 The "salvia" is slender bush with white leaves and small white bios soms, both leaves and blossom giving forth strong pungent odor, similar to sage. It is astringent. and tea made therefrom is good for diarihea and kindred complaints.
 "Palo Blancon is white parked tree. bearing a white blossom, lily like in form and somewhat similar to the morning glory. A decoction made from the bark of this tree pour ed into the water Of stream is said to stupefy fish coming within it's influence so they float helplessly and may be readily caught with the hands. The reader will observe that they have fish stories in Mexico as well as in other parts of the world)

 "Pipichahui,n small bush, the roots of which yield a good remedy for scrofulous and kindred diseases.
 Uvalama," large tree bearing a small black fruit of very agreeable taste and fragrant odor.
 "Capulin," {" a tree of the big variety which grow to gigantic size, lives to great age, and bears small fruit.
 "Amole e"-a species of maguey with which we are familiar in Arizona the root used for soap.
 "Amolillo," another small plant, and tree also of the same name, the roots of both which yield freely good 1 lather and are used for soap.

THE coMMuNIrvoF,lNrEREsr PLAN.


The communityofinterest scheme for tho manage.
ment of railroad properties is by some of its
advocates the ground that the benefits derived from
the multiplication Of competing transportation lines
were evanescent and short-lved that combination
has naturally and necessarily followed competition
and that the public has almost ceased to take any in
terest in the enlargement of parallel roads
A spirit of conservatism, it is claimed has
taken hold of railroad owners to check wastefu upl
cation and promote desire for harmony and dividends
rather than the excitement and glory of rate wars
This in connection with the great of constructing
modern railroad, is operating as a check upon the
inauguration OF lines Capitalists no longer con
fine their investments TO one railroad or system but
acquire large blocks of stock in related and connecting
also in order TO be in position to influence their
policies Overcome by the sedatiye influence of com.
munity of interest longer invade the ter.

lay out money in the improvement existing mileage
II is noticeable, however that speculation in the
stock market continues to riot in the same old way

community of interest fad is laid Much noise is for
awhile heard in the wake Of succeeding amalgam

The great optimist of the National administration
is Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson He can be trusted
to look for the bright side and to talk as he looks
few days he declared in his enthusiasm that within
year the United States would producing everything
It When that time comes, he ioyfully says we
snap fingers at the rest of the world Having
enough, and more than enough for our own needs we
can compel other countries to buy from us though
do not buy from them by the process starvation AS
he puts it:
There is doubt that this country within few months
will be position other Nation
in the matter of food products We shall produce within
domain everything that upon table aud upon
backs We shall then be- commercially and ndustray
almost independent of the other Nations the world Hence
trade combination which be effected against will
count Tor nothing Whenever we get ready come
pretty other Nation. Therefore
i've combination against us will be an impossbiH.
Commenting upon this characteristic utterance of
the agricultural head of the government the Philade
phia North American says that evidently the secretary
of agriculture has forgotten all the principle of
exchange that underlies all commerce. According to
his notion, the would still remain at a fixed level
al settlements imports and exports must eventually
balance
AS a matter of fact, Aviation be en-
tirely Independent OF world neighbors even if such
a state desirable. 1t is 5000 mues from our At
antic to Pacific boundary. and na far from the
line of Canada to that of Mexico No tariff system
short of absolute prohibition of Imports can overcome
such geographical obstacles The thing been tried
in the interest of various special industries hut has
never wholly succeeded. There certain natural
laws of trade which legislation not repeal though
1t may temporarily interfere with their operation.
