DESPISED JUNCO TREES OF MEX.
ICO AND THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY FOUND TO BE AVAIL
ABLE TO CABINET INDUSTRY.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The
junco Is the missing link Of the
tree family Restricted to a single
valley. that of the Rio Grande. in
Mexico and Texas this tree with it's
small crooked trunk bristling with
thorns is little known to the out
side world. 1t Is popularity sup
posed to bear no leaves, flowers or
fruit, but it really bears al. three.
The minutes leaves are scale
like, the flowers very small and the
fruit is a tiny berry. 1t is the only
known representative of its family
in all the world. 1t Is not known
that the junco ever grew anywhere
outside of the valley OF the Rio
! Grande, or that 1t ever had rela-
tives close enough to claim kinship.
Some trees, now nearly extinct, had
wide range in past age-the big
trees of California, for example,
which grew all the way to the Arc
tic ocean. But the junco SO far as
Is known, has always lived in one
place and has always been the same
dwarfed, crooked tree that 1t now
is. y
| Except as fuel, 1t has not been
| put. to any use. Thousands of cords
might be cut in the valley of the
Rio Grande. in Mexico and Texas.
OF late, however, the growing scar
city OF hardwood has aclled atten-
tion to the despised junco tree as a
possible substitute for some OF the
more popular woods, and the result
is surprise to those who thought
the wood had no commercial value.
Clarence A. Miller, consul at Mata-
moras, Mexico, has called the at
tention of this government to the
good qualities claimed for 1t.
The wood sinks in water. In color
it ranges from brown to black. II
receives a high and beautiful polish
fitting 1t to take the place OF such
expensive woods as ebony and rose
wood for small cabinet work. The
trunks are so short and crooked that
only small pieces Of timber can be
obtained from them. Few trunks
exceed seven feet in length and
eight inches in diameter. The wood
is said to be admirably suited for
the keys of musical intruments,
jewel boxes and other bureau cab.
inets, chess men, checkers. paper
knives, knobs and other small turn
cry, inlaid work, and indeed for al
most all purposes for which costly
foreign woods, in small pieces are
now being used
| Many of the trees, whose woods
are familiar in the lumber markets,
belong to large families. There are
$50 members-they are called spe-
cies-of the pine family, and they
are scattered all over the northern
hemisphere. The beech and the oak
| family have even more members,
and they, too, are widely scattered.
The laurel has over 900, the palm
1000, while the apple, counting the
many varieties, is said to have more
than 1000. But the junco is fight
ing its life battle alone on the dry
slopes of Texas and Mexico, without
relative in the world.

that the squirrels are all smothered

corn as a summer fallow crop have

a forage crop. Hundreds OF acres
of corn were planted in Walla Walia

THE ROADS AND SCHOOLS.

THE ROADS AND SCHOOLS.
Mrs. Moses Humphrey and her
daughter, Miss Lena, of the West
end of the county, were here on We'd
nesday making the rounds of the
stores.
Mrs. Humphrey brings the usual
information, that the roads are al
most impossible in certain places
between town and her home. Some
time ago the road patchers dug up a
great quantity of dirt and piled il
high in the middle OF the road. so
that, in wet weather there would be
good, soft track for vehicles-that
is, mud up 10 the hub and holes and
chugs deep enough TO bury horse and
buggy out of sight (almost), and they
succeeded. Even in dry weather these
roads are full of ruts and rs rough
rs can be. 1T looks says another
good woman, 'as though none of our
people know how to make road"
Mrs. Humphrey complains also,
and justly, of the school facilities in
her community. Most every rich
family in that section has teacher
in the house, n govemess, and this
makes il difficult To get up and
maintain II good free school there.
She had TO send her boy TO Glade
Springs who ought to be in the free
school at home. But there is no
school-when they do have one il is
only for 3 months or thereabouts.
This is not for the want of a sucffii-
ency Of children. Mrs. Humphrey is
herself the proud mother of ten fine
children, and she has neighbor who
has eleven, and SO on, down. The
trouble is elsewhere. 1t may not be
out of place To remind this good
woman that the men of her COM
munity voted against increase OF the
school levy in her district, n year or
two ago, and the lack of free school
funds may have something TO do
with the school situation there. How
ever, TaZewell Is bad off, " too, in
the school line at this time, and
there are no flattering prospects for
the next session.
1t is heal hful and hopeful in
dication that the good women of the
county are beginning to take notice
of the road and school question. II
they become enthused and interested
the men Will have TO do something

y very good measure, indeed; all
of which reminds us that democrats

calling for publicity with respect to
the motives of the New York World
IN national politics.
But while finding time to- attack
democrats who have criticised corpor-
ations such, for instance, as the
Steeel trust, and who have insisted
upon railroad regulation, the World

its readers the extent of its owners
