sAVAGEs OF ECUADOR

If you are locking for a real
wild Indian seek the Jibaro. Per-
haps you never heard Of him., but
you should. for he's the widest,
most savage and uncultured type
Of redskin who thrives today.
War and the Jibaro are synony-
nous. No other Indian tribe in
history has so determinedly and
successfully resisted efforts to con-
auer it as this tribe of the Jibaro.
Today the Jibaro, $4,000 strong.
rule supreme over the vast forest
regions of Eucador between the
Santiago and Pataso rivers and
southwark to the Amazon.
1t is one Of the most pictures
que and primitive of all surviving
tribes of redskins. Once when
partly subjugated to Spanish rule
they we're goaded to rebellion by
enfocred labor in themines of their
taskmasters and marched 10000
strong into the strong hold of
their enemy and in one night COM
pletely annihilated the $4,000
inhabitants. AS an example of
their savagery they killed the
governor by pouring molten gold
down his throat in that he might
have is fill nf gold"
Like tactics are still pursued,
and the Jibaro is little molested.
Var is their normal condition,
their favorite weapons being the
lance. the javelin and the blow
gun with poisoned arrows, which
have served them with deadly
efficiency.
Little is known of their religi-
Gus or NEUROLOGICAL beliefs. There
are about ID 900 Jibaros who are
Christians, but few of these are of
the full blooded type and are
scorned by the majority Of the
tribe. Missionaries say the Jibaro
will never break from ancient
customs.-Catholic Encyclopedia.

COMPRESSED POTATOES

BERLIN, Sept. 26-Before long no
doubt the world will be eating COM
pressed potatoes, for a scheme to this
end is now on in Germany and the
inventor predicts as great success
for it as for timed milk.
Having studied the economics of the
potato supply of Germany and the
manner in which prices have steadily
risen not only for this commodity but
for other foodstuffs, a specialist came
to the conclusion that the change in
potato prices was largely due to the
bulk and weight of the product, in
consequence of which the cost of trans
portation was in a higher proportion
than in the case of any other such
staple. The greater part of the extra
weight is water and the problem cen
tered on the question of how to get
the water out Of the potato withou
losing some of its highly beneficial
properties.
AT inventor has come forward with
a patent high power alright press BY
means of which, II is said. the pota-
toes are reduced to less bulk withou
serious injury The potatoes are
cleaned and pealed and then are sub
mitted to an exceptionally high pres.
sure, which leaves them almost as
hard as glass. The whole process takes
but two minutes.
A company just formed hopes to be
able TO put on the market potato chip
and several other styles. so that moth
ing is left to the cook but to heat then
for several minutes after a prclimi
nary steeping in water.

.HOLTv|LLE PROJECT PROVIDES
RALLY|NG POINT FOR VALLEY

thusiasm they usually manifest on pub
lie questions, and at their own ex-
pense they are maintaining a large
force of teams and laborers on the
projected road, with the result that it
will soon be passable.
The Grand Circuit highway which
the Press has outlined, to include a
loop running south from Los Angeles
to San Diego, thence east to the val
ley, or to Yuma if preferred, and
thence back to Los Angeles via Braw-
ley and Mecca, will be consummated d
if this road is built, and in that case
every community along the great seen
ic road will be the gamer, while all
of Southern California will be given
one more great attraction.
The one thing which has done most
to prevent the people of this valley
entering enthusiastically into the Los
Angeles project for road building has
been the apparent desire of that city
to sidetrack San Diego from the high
way and to impose severe hardships
on this valley for the sake of carrying
out its purpose.
On that basis this valley and Los
Angeles never can get together, and
until there is a change in the plan
affairs must work to the detriment of
the metropolis of southern California.
But if Los Angeles can enter into
this with a broader sense of its op-
portunities and assist in the construc
ton of a road that will be of benefit
to all, this valley and that city will
alike be gamers, and it will not hurt
Los Angeles if il chances that San
Diego shares with the other communi-
ties in the benefit done.

II is not every day that a project
is presented over which the entire val
lev can enthuse but such an idea is
brought forward by the projected road
from Holtville direct to Yuma, this to
be connected through El Centre and
Imperial with the Brawley-Los Angeles
highway.
There are indications, moreover,
that Los Angeles good roads promot-
ers will be brought to endorse this
project, rather than compel the trav-
cling public to make the long desert
trip by way of Mammoth.
The only portion of the valley in
which a discordant voice is raised
against the Holtville road is in Braw-
ley, and yet it is believed that town
will eventually decide that its best in
terest lies in cooperation with the en-
tire valley in securing a road that will
give to the travellers a comprehensive
idea of the valley.
With Los Angeles raising 100000
for the construction of a highway to
Yuma, to be a part of a national
highway, and with that city purport-
ing to be anxious to so build the
road that il will connect the valley
with the city, it is hardly possible that
il will continue TO advocate a road that
this valley does not want and will not
support if built, for the simple reason
that it would be utterly useless to the
valley and would do the harm of TAX
ing the travellers through wide
stretch of desert. with only glimpse
of the valley.
The people of Holtville have taken
hold of this road project with the en-
