WASHOUTS ON THE
SALT LAKE ROUTE
Through Traffic Will Not Be
Resumed for Three or
Four Weeks.
ANOTHER ROUTE MAY
BE SURVEYED FOR ROAD
Main Line May Be Carried to
Phoebe and Through
Bristol Pass.

A dispatch received Friday night
from Los Angeles says: 1t is announced
today By the Salt Lake Route that II
will probably be three weeks before
their line will he restored and through
traffic between here and Salt Lake City
resumed. Traffic is being diverted
meanwhile over the Southern Pacific
via San Francisco. A new washout oc
Cured on the Salt Lake between Alton
and Mojave today, which stopped trains
that have been running between here
running with the exception of the San
Joaquin Valley line of the Southern
Pacific, which it is expected VIII he
opened tomorrow.
Information as to the washouts re-
celved at this end OF the line is meager
but it is understood that the road is
now affected at points east of Caliente,
SO that trains cannot now reach that
place. While the statement is not from
an official source. ii is given out that
nearly one hundred miles of the road
is affected and that twenty FIVE miles
Of track has been swept away entirely.
The washouts are as bad if not worse
than OF a year ago, and il is not be-
lieved that the repairs can be com
pleted and through traffic restored in
less than thirty DAYS 1t Will take be-
tween two and three weeks TO complete
the epairs east of Caliente. and the
amount of work to he done west of that
point is not known here.
The changing of the route Of the
Clark road has been seriously discussed
by the high officials. 1t is believed
that better route north of the Mead
ow valley wash can be secured and thus
all danger of future trouble and DELAYS
be avoided, II is stated that the main
line may be carried from Modena to
Phoebe and then through the mountain
range via what is known as the Bristol
Pass into the valley beyond, reloining
the present main line about 100 miles
further west. The adoption of this
route would lengthen the line and add
10 the grade, buI 1T would make 1t per.
manently secure.

Origin of Plug Tobacco.

Plug tobacco nowadays Is not as
good as that we used to make on the
farm, says an old Southeruer We
would take a maple log while twas
green and bore dozen holes in II
with a two-inch auger. They were our
mslds. We selected our choicest to,
bacco and soaked 1t for a week or
more in wild honey. Then we'd take
the leaf to the log, get a good hickory
"tamping stick" and go to work.
A little ball Of the honeySoaked to-
bacco would be put In an auger hole
and tamped ia with the stick and a
hammer. We'd pound it In solid. Ball
after ball would be rammed In and
pounded until the wScle became a
solid plug When the hole was nearly
full we would pound In the plug and
then the log would be put away to
season AS the wood dried the mois.
ture would be drawn from the tobacco.
ArA when 1t was split the sweetest
tobacco ever made was taken from 1t.
We called II plug tobacco and that's
whore the name originated.
