A ROUSE BUILT ON SAND.
PHENOMENON IS
 ST. JOHNS LAKE

cowboys theresbouts are many of
 them subject to that complaint, but
 after bathing in the waters of the pool ten days or so they are perfectly cured This will make the lake a
 great health resort, if a railroad ever projects 9 line into that country. There are several roads leading down into the basin, made by farmers and stockmen who go there to get salt. and there is not a finer salt in the world It is constantly falling to the bottom of the lake as the water is eyaporated by the heat of the sun. The salt gatherers wade out into the
 lake and load a scow with shoyels, propelling the boat to shore with their hands when full. For stock, the salt
 is sometimes taken down to the mud at the bottom of the lake, and is of
 course rather dirty, but for domestic purposes care is taken to get the new
 white salt on top. You cannot buy any purer ip grocery stores
 For miles around people come to the
 lake for their supply of the saline. IL is an especial boon to stockmen, who
 would otherwise have to purchase their salt. and that would be no lncon- siderable item.
 On the west eide of the crater be-
 gins vast coal deposit There are thousands Of acres. of soft coal there
 that may be easily mined and will be worth millions of dollars just as soon as there is railroad through the field. The bed extends oyer into Ari.

That there is salt lake just over the border line of New 5Iexico, about forty miles cast of St. Johns. Is fact known to comparatively few people outside the immediate vicinity. But there is such a lake, ana 1t :s undoubt- edly one Of the wonders of the world.
 Captain John T. Hogue, councilman from Apache county has often visited this lake and he describes it thusly.
 The lake is peculiarly situated. just ever the New Mexican border in the Largo valley in Socorro county. In the southern part of the valley is some high rolling prairie. considerably above the level of tho rest of the valley.
 A traveller on the prairie suddenly comes to the edge of an immense basin, about two mics in diameter. In the middle of the basin rises the era ter of an extinct volcano. Ii is al most a perfect cone and is one of the most remarkable volcanic formations in the world On one side there is a sort of hill, which is another perfect cone. It is formed in the same man. ner that the larger cone is, but has no opening at the top. 1t runs to point almost as sharp as that of . fIagpole. though it's base is 200 feet in dia- mete-.
 On the eastern side of the larger cone is the lake Ii is about half a mile wide and two miles long, but Is not very deep in any place 1t IS formed by water sseping out of the wall of the crater. The crater is made of volcanic matter about like the slag found around an iron furnace, and the water percolates througnt it readily.
 Inside the crater is a pool of the water. The peol is egg shaped and IS about 100 yards long. In its widest rart it is perhaps sixty or seventy yards in width. ..-
 And this pool has no bottom, so far as is known. Soundings have been made goo feet. but no bottom reached
 The water is SO salty that no one can sink in it more than waist deep A person can walk around in it with out the slightest difficulty. It has the property of curing rheumatism The

MEXICO PLANS TO CONTRGL ALL

With tie Exception of Three of Large Properties, All Roads h That Country Are Govern

MEXICO CITY. Mex, March H. The Mexican government has ooGl- pletcd arrangements to evercise csn- trol over all the important railroad lines operating in the repubkc ex- cept three or four. It is believed that the goyec nment will ultimately be- o3Ine a stockholder, and, strictly speaking, the manager of every line trayersing any part of the territory, no matter how small a road may be. ine National Lines of Mexico and ter Mexican Central a-s %~:gay groups n the, VOye-nm' :.

L>-.s syndicate. the Vera Crr- ---d Pacific and the two Hartman lines, the Sonora and the Sierra Ma ldre railroads, remain private proper ty. The expectation is that the gov ernment will finally submit proposi- tions for control in these independent lines, and then form several distinct groups of lines.
 Harriman's Sonora railroad runs from Tucson. Arizona, on the South ern Pacific, to the port of Guaymas, /. on the gulf of California Harrima'ns new road, which is now in course of construction, is called the Sierra Ma f dre road because it runs alongside the i Sierra Madre range parallel to the coast of the gulf of California. The new line connects with the Sonora railroad and runs soathwerdly tO i Guadalaiara. Hartman apparent! intends to build from Guadalajara lo this city and from here to point OI ! the coast of the gulf of Mexico.
 The government will probably ar
 range to get practical control of thC independent lines. Then it will, D. doubt. form the various roads irtl groups.

 or course, no ono has yet estimated the exact value of the concession. Its duration is sixty years and the ter ritoTy includes between S,000,000 and 9,000,000 acres. One part of it is a strip on the left bank of the Congo to the Yumbi river. In this territory the concessionaries have absolute power. They will be allowed to po- lice it, regulate it's inhabitants and govern the villages and settlements almost as if 1t were an independent state.

STATE OR FEDERAL CONTROL?

The Pennsylvania railroad company
 is praised for bringing before a state court the issue concerning the 2-Cent passenger rate law, which in the Southern states has been raised in the federal courts. with the result that a dangerous conflict of jurisdictions has been created. There is no doubt that the Pennsylvania plan is the peaceahle and orderly way. The issue was made on a state law. and the state courts were competent to deal with it. The same course if adopted in the South, would have avoided gerat deal of bad blood. The state constitutions give ample protection to property rights.
 This theory. of course, proceeds on the assumption that the states have the right and power to regulate railroads carrying interstate commerce. The states have always hitherto acted on that assumption and never until re- gently has it been disputed. The ques- llpl. however, IS m way lo De tested before the supreme court of the United States in a suit brought by the Mis- souri Pacific railroad against the state of Kansas, which makes the flat issue that the Hepburn act of congress (the rate law) has invested the interstate commerce commission with exclusive jurisdiction over roads engaged in in- terstatr business. No question is rais- ed here that the state laws are un- reasonable or confiscatory The at tack is not made on the ground that the state has taken property without due process of law. The position simply is that the state has no sort

TAFT-HUoAEs-RoosEVELT

Secretary Tafts popularity is un- doubted The very striking resulb of the canvass conducted by the Chi caEo Tribune covering the whole coun- try. are proof of this fact Taft gets more votes than all the other candi- dates combined including Roosevelt. The terms of the canvass expressly excepted Roosevelt from the list of candidates on the ground that he had positively refused to run. but that did not prevent esq of his enthusiastic ad- mirers from voting for him, anyway. Taft receives 2.512 votes and the run nerup is Governor Hughes of New York. who gets 669 votes. Fairbanks, never anything but joke. had 29O votes.
 While Hughes may be regarded as a had second to Taft. it is a significant fact that he leads the second choice list by an impressive plurality. Hughes is the second choice of 1.51S voters. as compared with S31 for Taft and 555 for Speaker Cannon. The figures indicate that if the convention were held to- morrow the fight would come between Taft and Hughes. with chances greatly favoring the secretary of war. always on the assumption that Roosevelt is really out of the race.
 It is a long time to the convention. IL is a tossup whether Hughes may not reverse the order of the candidates procession next year His strength grows every day. In a sense he is like Roosevelt and yet unlike. His policies are advanced and progressive. but he does not go off half cooked Quite possibly his time has not yet arrived for the highest office but he is a com ing man
 Another impressive fact declared by this poll is the emphatic approval of the Roosevelt policies. The country scarcely needed this showing. but the figures are instructive with 4,O13 ir favor and 343 against. It will scarcely be doubted that this vote is fairly rep resentative of popular opinion. and the lesson conveyed by it's one-s sided char actcr is that Roosevelt may be made the candidate without asking his con- sent.
