Hot Springs, ani the other one Is in
the Santa Fe canyon short distance
from the capital. At the Las Vegas
end permanent surveys have been
made for part of the line, where 1t
will follow the Hot springs canyon
and traverse the sinuous windings Of
several more crooked defiles that cut
into the range. 1t will run along q
rocky ledge near the top Of the noun
tain, covering 1 distance Of six miles
before It strikes the river road.
The nineteen convicts at work on
this end Of the route have nearly
completed the hrst two miles leading
to the top Of the hrst mountain. This
part of the work has been very well
done and It appears that the convict
labor scheme ID success. The grade
here Ii quite steep. one Of the most
considerable on the line Far below
can be seen the river road, twisting
and turning through the tortuous
canyon.

vation 10 ~ to AFFORD the sight,seer

also thus avoids the sand and gravel
Of the canyon bottom. Along the
course Of the latter can be obtained
also fine views Of the numerous Ice
lakes, for which this canyon is f.
nous.
The contention Ii made by some
that at the present rate the road will
be nearer hundred miles In length
than forty-fve as was planned. and
that the appropriation Of $1,000 will
not cover the cost Of construction. as

one Of the grandest sights along the

passable BY following this survey
the road will be nearly fifteen miles
longer than it would be il Il followed
the old trail TO Elks peak, which Il
directly in line with both terminals
The construction work along this
route would be much easier than by
way Of Hermit's Peak.
A road through the deep AMI rug
ged Hermit's canyon would be- the
widest and most picturesque, but tha,
is impossible. as ii would require al
least $4,000 to construct the Ave
miles through the gorge.
Another routes. suggested is that
through Harvey's canyon, where there
Is well beaten trail and where the
scenery is very flne.
This trail passes within four miles
of Haryey's ranch. which is within
twenty-five miles Of Las Vegas.
To build the road from Elk's Peak
to Willis ON the upper Pecos would
not entail great expense.
Many claim that the route. Ter
Harvey's trail to Las Vegas Is the
best, being sixteen miles shorter than
the northern survey.
Harvey's ranch Ii located in an
ideal spot on the top Of spur Of the
range. $500 feet above sea level. 1t
would be very easy to connect the
scenic road with this point, or bet
ter still have II pass right by Harvey's
which would make an admirable half
way station. The elevation met after
leaving Harvey's is composed or dis
integrated granite and could be cross
ed without difficulty ON low grade.
A good trail four miles of which Ii

vey's and Elk's peak

this point as a halfway station Is a.

poned thirty minutes pending de.
cision Of the supreme court on appli.
cation for injunction to prevent hang.

brought In view Of the reprieve grant

prieve imposed hard labor upon
Rhea as punishment. The attorneys
for Rhea argued that this imposition
nulli6ed the sentence for hanging In
that It serves two punishments for

ton, lengthening the legislative ses-
sion from forty to sixty days. increas-
ing the pay of the legislators from s.

From Farmers Review: A man
writes that he has accepted a posi-
ton as buttermaker In a region where
there are leeks in the pastures and
that both the milk and the butter
have q strong flavor from this weed.
He wants to know what is the best
way for me to deal with such milk"
In reply ! have to say. that the best
treatment known for milk containing
the flavor of leaks at the present time.
Is to areate IL thoroughly at milking
time and then II you can convenient
" arrange to heat the milk to a tenn
perature Of 100 degrees or higher
when 1t is separated. you will remove
some OF this Odor. n you cannot ar
range to separate the milk at this
high temperature then I think il will
be q good plan to pasteurize the
cream after IL comes from the sepa
rator. The pasteurized cream should
be cooled to nearly 50 degrees and
then ripened with . good starter made
from milk vi lch contains none Of
this odor of leeks. I do not know OF
any other remedy that Is successful
in handling such milk. OF course il
is not necessary to state that the
surest way to avoid this trouble is
to keep the cows out of such pastures
but presume in many cases this can
not be done. The flavor must be
boiled ou." In some way; there is
no chemical tnat is safe to use for
this purpose.-E II. Farrington. Wis

All manufacturers of pasteurizers
