Plant Which Bears the Name Of
"Actinella Richardson's"
Grows in Gem State
IT MAY PROVE A COLO MINE
Contains 20 Per Cent Of Pure Rubber
And Can Be Obtained In
Large Quantities.

What most people would call an or
binary looking weed which had appar-
emily been uprooted while In blossom
caused hundreds OF people to pause
yesterday In front OF NJ. j. Marks
show window at S22 West Main street
where the shriveled roots and petals
were suspended by cord. 1t required
positive proof to convince the curious
that the weed contained in its dried
up state nearly 25 per cent OF the finest
quality OF rubber.
The exhibit was that OF Colorado
rubber plant, known to botanical sci
ence as the "Actinella Richardsonia,"
the wonderful properties OF which have
only recently been discovered. IL
grows abundantly In wild state over
the arid regions OF Colorado at alti-
tudes of about 1000 feet. apparently re-
curing no irrigation, and has hitherto
been considered pest. Accident LED TO
the discovery of It's rich qualities not
long ago and now II threatens to sup
plant the sugar beet as an investment.
j. w. Hoover Of Boise has been In
correspondence with William NJ. lnger-
soil OF Denver. who furnishes some
very interesting information respect
ing the plant. In a recent letter Mr..
Ingersoll said.
"A ton Of rubber plant roots VIII

sion OF a mighty Industry.
Denver capitalists have already con-
structed machine which "chews' the
roots Of the plant and extracts the pure
rubber. A piece OF the root as large
as lima bean Will, when chewed In
the mouth like a piece of gum, produce
a lump Of rubber as large as a pea.
J.. y. Judson, professor Of horticul-
ture OF the University Of Idaho, has
obtained sample Of the plant and will
endeavor to find out II II grows In
Idaho. Others have announced their
intention OF seeking the wonderful
weed and feel certain they can find It
In this state.--Boise Statesman.

PENNSY DECLARES WAR.
All Negotiations for q Settlement With
Geo, j. Gould Interests Broken.

New York, Feb. iS.--All negotiations
for settlement OF the differences be-
tween the Pennsylvania railway and
the Gould interests have been broken
off, says the Times, Friends Of Pres
ident Cassatt, of the first named road,
and Of George j. Gould have, the pa
per continues, abandoned definitely all
attempts to obtain a rapproachment.
The immediate cause Is understood
TO have been the absolute refusal of the
Gould interests to abandon their pro-
tect Of reaching the Atlantic by an out
let OF their own. The proposition Of a
settlement was based on the idea that
the Western Maryland, the road over
which the Wabash was to get into Bal
timore, could be placed under the con-
troll Of some other road In which both
the Pennsylvania and the Wabash
could have an equal interest. For this
purpose the Norfolk q Western had
been elected as the most likely. From
the very beginning OF the negotiations
the Gould interests baked at this prop
osltlon but 1t was believed that their
objections could be overcome. Failure
to do so Is now admitted, says the
Times, by persons directly interested,
and work on the Gould extension Is
