NEW SOURCE OF RUBBER.
Disclosed BY the Death of Shropshire
Ram.

Disclosed BY the Death of Shropshire
Ram.
A $500 Shropshire ram died out In
Colorado. Ordinarily the death OF even
so aristocratic an animal would not be
of national note, but in the present in
stance it seems to have opened way
to breaking the rubber trust.
A man at Durango, Col, had big
flock of sheep and year ago sent to
England for a high grade ram. The
brute came in due course In glass
case He was turned loose to pick a
living from between the rocks, and pres
emily existence palled on him. He be-
came home esick, worried lost APPETITE,
and died. Bsing a noble beast Of his
kind, he was honored with an autopsy.
In his stomach was found remark
able accumulation Of a certain kind OF
weed that the common or garden sheep
had been eating with difficulty, but
which seemingly had been too much for
the imported ram. This weed Is very
common in that country, and had al
ways been despised. Investigation
showed that in various stages of d.
gestion it had filled the sleeps stom-
ach, and n the last stage It looked like
rubber. Analysis showed that 1t was
crude rubber.
The ram was buried with honors, and
the stomach was sent away for further
investigation. AS result sixteen tons
of the curious weed were gathered, and
being boiled down and subjected to
process approximating as nearly as
possible to that Of digestion In a
sheep's insides turned out some hun
dreds of pounds Of good rubber.
This week a man came here with
sections of garden hose, rubber shoes,
rubber heels, rubber balls, packings for
steam engines, etc., all made OF the
rubber boiled out Of this weed. He
showed them, together with samples
Of the rubber weed, on long table In
the house corridor.
Members and senators gathered
about and heard with the greatest In
terest the tale Of the ram that had died
in an elastic cause. There was no
doubt about the rubber. 1t was as good
Para rubber as ever a naked heather

Amazon and traded for jumping jacks.
eilded ornaments and glass beads.
Accordingly monument was placed
over the rams grave and a company OF
Michigan men was Incorporated to
make the rubber. They took up the
matter of getting land and the secre-
tary of agriculture recommended that
$500 acres be turned over to the con-
Germ for use in developing the plant
and opening an experimental manu-
featuring business. The man with the
garden hose and things was their
agent. The bill has already been re-
ported out Of committee and without
doubt, will pass.
The company will proceed at once In
co-operation with the department or
agriculture to develop the plant. Hor-
ticultural experts will be assigned to
develop it's rubber producing qualities
and a factory will be built.-Washing

Liquor Through Express. :.
A little calm consideration without
bias or prejudice will soon convince
man of ordinary sense that the
whisky traffic now as compared with
the whisky traffic under the dispen-
sary, Is something like this: Liquor
used to be sold by the pint and quart
mainly through the dispensaries; 1t
is sold now through the express Of
fees by the gallon and keg, while the
retailing Is done by the drink almost
everywhere as In the good old bar
room days. The moonshiners are
of course getting In their work un-
molested. There may be less drunk
enness, though ! doubt 1t, under the
present regime than there was under
the dispensary, but what Is the ac-
tual condition? The poor man can
not get his liquor from Georgia or
North Carolina, but must buy from
the fellow who brings IL In by express
or from the moonshiner who peddles
1t about the country. The rich man
has no such trouble and 1t makes lit-s
tie difference to him whether the
supply comes from the dispensary or
the express Office. How was this Sit

direction or under the orders Of the
whole Democratic party? oh, no!
Did It come to pass by the votes
of the prohibitionists? No. How
then? The three elements opposing
the dispensary, prohibitionists, high
license men and moonshiners or blind
tigers, all combined to vote the dis
pensary out To make this the more
clear / have prepared a table which
will be understood at glance by
any man who reads 1t, which will
show conclusively this fact: that a
majority Of the Democratic voters In
no one county declared against the
dispensary system and that this pro-
hibition which we now have in these
fifteen counties is in no sense the will
of the democracy Why didn't the
people vote at these elections under
the Brice law?. The answer Is easy.
Many Of then could not because they
were not qualified electors and more
of them would not, because they were
disgusted by the mismanagement and
corruption which have been shown
to exist in the state dispensary.

ARMADA FOR JAPAN.
Tremendous Merchant Marine Now Be-
ina Built In Her Shipyards.

ina Built In Her Shipyards.
Consul General Rodgers In a re-
port from Shanghai on Japan's mer-
chant marine and Japanese activity
in shipbuilding, presents interesting
details Of the steps being taken to
build a great commerce, says a
Washington special to the New York
Globe.
He points out that 1t Is not alone
on salt water that Japan Is making
her advance. but that she is also
paying marked attention to develop
ment for the river traffic in the Chi
nese interior. On the great Yangtse
river, plans are being carried out for
large japanese fleet and upon the
smaller rivers and canals as well.
Small towing launches and lorchas
are being used to a large extent al
Hangchow, Soochow, Hoochou and
other canal cities, and 1t Is under
stood that small Japanese coasting
ships will ply to places like Ningpu.
The Chinese not only offer no i'm
pediment to these plans for conquest
of the river traffic Of China; on the
>ontrary. they appear to welcome
them. Mr.. Rodgers points out that
shanghai Is to be the Chinese base
for Japanese shipping and that ac-
tivity there Is especially marked.
Kob and Moji will be made their
great shipping ports In Japan.
Our consul general declares that
semi-official advices are to the effect
that every port touched by Pacific
waters will soon be reached by Jap
anese vessels. 1t is known that
line from Hongkong to Australia via
Manila will soon be developed into
a rival Of importance Of the trans-pa-
cifc lines In the meantime the ship
building companies of Japan are
building new vessels, repairing old
ones. altering captured crafts In ev-
cry way preparing to adapt every
thing they have afloat to the new
field of Japanese endeavor.
"If half that Is told Of japanese
intentions as to merchant marine Is
true" says Mr. Rodgers, then an ac-
tivity will ensue on the Pacific ocean
which will astonish the world. 1t Is
too late this year to get the full de-
velopment. but one year from now,
unless unforeseen causes intervene,
there will be a wonderful Japanese
fleet anoat. and every one Of the ma
tions which have practically monop-
olized the sea traffic in the orient will
have to look to their laurels."
The shipyards Of Japan, says the
same report. are the busiest places In
the east today. The tonnage being
prepared for service is enormous, and
the work goes steadily on. Inspec-
ton of the sailing lists Of the great
lines shows that not route has been
forgotten.

TEMPE
RURAL DELIVERY MATTERS.
To Which the Attention of Patrons and
 Others Is Called.

The attention of the patrons of the two rural delivery routes emanatins from Tempe is called to an article that appeared in The Republican of last Saturday morning. It concerns the subject of signals beng placed on the mail boxes to call the attention of the carrier to the fact that there is mail in the box to be collected. The object of such signals is to save the carrier time in case he has no mail to be de- livered to a certain box. For instance if he is able to tell that there is no mail in a box to be collected for which he has no mail to be delivered. he sill not be obliged to stop and open the box to assure himself that theIs is nothing there. It is obvious that such procedure on the part 1f the carrier takes time Many boxes on the two Tempe routes have signals and ".lers are of such a nature tlIaJ no signal is required. In many cases there is au understanding between the carrier and the patrons that when mail Is left :n the box to be collected the box is to be closed. otherwise left oper. The car rier on the other hand. wEsE he leaves mail in such boxes makes II a rule to close them and thus the patron may see at a distance whether or not mere is mail in the box for him. That sys- tenn works very nicely with certa 'n boxes, but there are boxes ol the routes that are so constructed that such a plan is not feasible. IT is to those buying such boxes that the article above mentioned particularly applies.
 Still another matter that concerns the patrons of the rural routes as well as the carriers is the care of the roads along the routes. It may be easily seen that the greater interest the pat rons take in the question of roads the better and more efficient will br the service, for it is impossible for a car rier to make good time and be up to schedule each day when sometimes he a mile more or less of mud. It is often the case that roads are in such con dition of location that the farmers in irrigatinG find it almost impossible to keep the water out of the highway. In such cases he should use his inhu- ence with the road overseer in that district to have such roads graded above the level of the ditches. In other eases. though, the farmer who is a patron of the route fails to appreciate it's advantages and cares very little whether or not he floods the road long as he himself is not obliged Co Use that particular part of the highway TO get to town and back. In such cases there is little that can be done unless it be having the farmer arrested and in

this country it is hard matter to se- cure a conviction for that pars cnlar offense. A little care on the part of the farmer in most cases. however. Eslf result in better roads and by co-opsra- tion between the carrier and the pat rons of the routes good service on the part of the former may be maintained in this part Of the country the year around
 Still another matter that concerns the patrons in a way Is the mutilatlon of mail boxes by others than patrons of the routes for it Is not likely that man having a mail box of his own ls very apt to injure one belonging 60 his neighbor. IL is the man having no interest in the rural delivery who Ca most apt to shoot a hole or two OF three of them in a box rural mall box presents a most attractive target to the average marksman. who per haps does not fully realize the snor- mity of his offense- There are many boxes on the Tempe routes that of iate have been shot full Of holes and 50 far the party doing it has uo- been detected. There is a serious penalty attached to such wilful mutiIatiou uE boxes and if the guilty party is ever caught a bright and shining example will be made of him
