Desert Plant Paving Block

Anothert plant in Texas is found to be of great commercial value. It is the marriola shrub, which grows profusely in the southwestern part of the state. It is to be used extensively Tn the manufacture of a new type of paving block. It will be mix ed with asphalt after being re- duced to pulp, the two compo- nent parts being then subjected to hydraulic pressure. It is claimed that the plant is prac- tically indestructible. More than twenty years ago irrigation ditches were walled with the pulp of this shrub after it had been subjected to hand pressure, and these waterwas are as per feet today as when they were first constructed, it is claimed.
 The manufacture of the new style of paving blocks from mar riola and asphalt will be con- ducted by z. W. Cannon of San Antonio. He has just entered into contract with the state of Texas for the purchase of all the marriola growing upon the pub lie lands in Presidio and Brews ter counties for $l0OO.
 It has been known for some time that the marriola shrub contains d considerable per cent of rubber. Under the old sys- tenn of extracting rubber from the guyaule shrub it was not found profitable to utilize the marriola shrub for this purpose, but recent discovery has been made in Mexico for extracting the rubber from these shrubs by which it is claimed the marriOla can be made to yield very profit able returns.

 He was in my Latin classes, and he stun bled over his trans lations and fell down on his scanning.

 Today that youth is man of power and influence in the realm where we count men by tens in- stead of thousands. He has climbed so near the top that his name is known and welcomed at large through the United States.
 There is a woman in this town whom one would take to be Diana of the Chase.

 The legislative committee also considered the amount to be paid members of the legislature, and S7 per day and a sixty day ses sion. was agreed upon as a com promise after a bitter fight in committee.
 The Tucson Star ssays, anent the legislators per diem: "Win- sor, who by constant harping has been named the Watch Dog of che treasury, switched and insisted on $l0 per day, saying that he expected to come to the legislature and could not live for less. Webb aroused Winsor's anger by saying that he had been a member in several legis- latures, in all of which Winsor was around begging for a $5 a day job"
 The committee on suffrage are considering a proposition pro- viding for voters qualifications, and will report an article similar to the Hampton law, providing that voters must be able to read and write the English language.
 Monday-A debate on whether a portion of the clerks employed by the convention should be dropped was the chief feature. The motion for such action, by Short of Yuma, was defeated. The running cost of the conven- ton has been figured at 76 cents minute.
 Tuesday-The proposed pro- vision segregating white and black school children lost by a tie vote, on the ground it was in opposition to and in conflict with the enabling act.
 The compulsory school age limit provision was defeated, leaving the legislature free to decide.

Irrigation Growth

A quarter of century is very short period in the worlds his. tory, yet in that dime great rev. olutions have been recorded.
 Take the question of irrigation, which is so we'll understood now as to be commonplace, and in which so many people are inter- ested and so many millions in- vested. It's whole history in the United States is compassed prac- tically within the past twenty five years. The following state- ment is taken from the Irrigation Age:
 Forty years ago about 20,O00 acres were under irrigation in the United States, and during the following decade the acreage was increased to 1000, 900. This was increased to 3,631.O00 in 1889 and to 9,OOO,O O,OQ0'in 1902, and the latest reports available show 16, 100000 acres, or "A per cent of the land under irrigation throughout the world, which totals approximately 75,o0O, 900 acres"
 Thus it will be seen the United States has nearly one quarter of tue irrigated land in the world, and this will be constantly in creased as one after another the great projects are finished. The great movement has been inn mensely added to by the active work and CO operation of the federal government, which has spent and is spending nearly $70, GOO. 600 on they big projects. The big Roosevelt dam in Ari- zona alone cost $8,000, ,000, and the Elephant Butte. project on the Rio Grande in New Mexico will cost that much pore. Other plants in Colorado, Idaho, Mon tana and other western states are also costing millions and adding enormously to the food production of tie country. But the people are not waiting on the government. In the PecOs river district in Texas, the fla nous Mimbres valley in New Mexico, numerous sections in Colorado and other states, thous ands of acres are being reclaimed entirely by private capital. h. calculable farm wealth will be thus added to the country's re sourced in a very few years.

Making Cement Ties

A million dollar plant is to be esta blished in Los Angeles for | the manufacture of the latest 1 improvement known to railroad ing-concrete ties.
 This invention has been tested for months by expert railroad men and will, it is believed, eventually do away with the old wooden tie and eliminate wrecks due Go spreading rails and loose ties.
 The first plant to be built by the New York syndicate will be located in Stockton, and Los Angeles will secure the second one, which is to be constructed about the same time, and one is being built in Oakland. The New York capitalists behind the company paid George Gates of Stockton $17, 500, 900 for his pat ents in g countries, and propose erecting plants as fast as the machinery can be turned out. The first patterns were made in Stockton and local iron works has about completed the machin- cry to be installed.
 It is proposed building fifteen other plants throughout the United States. Before these are completed factories will be es- tablished in those foreign coun- tries which have sufficient rail- road mileage to make it an ob- ject to use the new concrete tie. The capacity of the factories in the United States will be from 5000 to $500 ties daily, unless there should be an especially large demand in any one section. In that case a double set of ma- chinery will be put into opera ton.
 Contracts already have been signed for hundreds of thousands of ties to be used on the Pacific coast.

George Tucker, 1 Year

Phoenix Democrat: George Tucker, who was brought from Yuma by Deputy Sheriff Jeff Adams for breaking parole, was sentenced in the district court this morning to serve one year in the territorial prison at Flor ence. Tucker plead guilty sev- eral weeks ago to burglary in the second degree and was given a suspended sentence upon his agreement to keep sober. He went to Yuma and was arrested there for drunkenness. He told the court this morning that be was "a poor, weak subject" and asked for leniency. Judge Kent suggested that term in prison would be of help to him in his fight against the liquor habit, and Tucker agreed with him that it might prove such.
 After being sentenced he ex- pressed his gratitude for the briefness of the sentence, which may be materially reduced if he is given employment on the new bridge, where convicts are al- lowed two days for one on their sentences.

Claims More People

The constitutional convention debated the legislative appor- tionment by counties Wednesday, in the course of which Delegate Coker denounced the apportion- ment in strong terms. He said it was impossible for the small counties to get square deal as the matter had been arranged by a series of trades among their larger neighbors.
 WiuSor sad one reason for the injustice was that the committee had tried to base it's apportion- ment on the census figures when, as everybody knew, those figures, in many instances, were notorl- ously incorrect. Mir. Winsor said that in his own neighbor- hood he knew of a dozen farmers who had rot been counLed by the enumeratOrs, and he believed that his county really has double the population shown by the census figures.
