CANAIGRE AND ITS INDUSTRIAL
POSSIBILITIES.
On another page today appears aa
exhaustive article on tbe subject of
eanaigre. This plaot which is native
to the southwest is the beet and
cheapest producer of tannic acid
known. Tannic acid is one of the ab
solutsly necessary commodities of
modern industry. There is no pes
slbllity that Its use in preparing hides
for manufacture will diminish. Con-
sequently in light of the statements
made in today's article It would seem
as if money invested in tbe cultivation
of canaigre and the establishment of
the necessary machinery for its treat
ment would bring better returns than
would the same amount inveeted in
other branches of farming.
It 1b undoubtedly true that one of the
most secure and genuine sources of
wealth is the development of the native
resources of a place. Since canaigre is
mil Indigenous plant and flourishes in
this climate without cultivation it is
evident that a small part of the ca e
expended on this that is given to other
and less profitable cropa would repay
the producer many fold.
That there is a promising future for
the canaigre Incus try is shown by a
letter received from John 3oward the
passenger and Immigration agent of
the G. H. and S. A. railroad.
"I will be pleased" Bays be "to
receive copy of the paper containing
the article on 'canaigre' when pub-
lished. There seems to be quite a lit-
tle interest taken in this plant and if
it ia half what is claimed for it by
some parties it means much for west
Texas as tan bark is becoming scarce.
"I think if It is proved beyond any
question of a doubt that canaigre can
be cultivated with profit that men of
means will erect plants or factories
for extracting tbe essence from the
roots for tanning purposes. This
would save freight and of course
make it more profitable.
"I will take pleasure in disseminat-
ing any information given us on this
object or any other that will be of
interest to the people in your section
of country.
"Yours very truly
"John Howard
"Pass. & Immigration Agt."
Regarding the establishment of fac-
toring it has been suggested that tbe
mo it economic way would be for the
farmers in any district to erect a co-
operative plant for slicing and kiln
drying the -canaigre root or for ex-
tracting the tannin from the roots.
However as Mr. Howard suggests the
establishment of such plants like the
beet sugar factories would be a profit-
able opening for capital.
The offer of Mr. Howard to dissem-
inate information on this important
subject is a generous one and is a good
example of the work the great railroad
corporations are constantly engaged
In having to do with the industrial
development of the territory contigu
ous to their lines.
Within the last few days Chihuahua
has been actively discussing the prob
ability of tbe establishment of a large
tannery in that city. Hugh MacKay
who formerly ran a tannery at Chlhua
hua and for some years past has been
employed by the Corralltoa company
has tanned many thousands of hides
with canaigre root. He Bays that the
re-eetablishment of the tanning in
dustry in the slate of Chihuahua would
be successful from the start on ac
count of the high duties that prevail
in Mexioo on Imported leather goods.
He has received considerable eneour
agement for hia project and he hopes
to establish a leather manufacturing
business that will include tbe produc
tion of saddles harness belting and
boots and shoes.
It would seem tbat a tannery and
leather manufactory properly conduct
ed ought to succeed in El Paeo. It ia
no argument against it to Bay that tbe
tanneries that bave been established
here have failed. At least the matter
is worth investigating and the cham
ber of commerce might endeavor to

game."
Gen
to the
In a city where so many languages
are spoken as in El Paso the revel
tlons of one of the speakers at the re
cent ecumenical missionary conference
in New York are of interest. He said
tbat much careless work of translation
bad been done by missionaries who
being alone In a field and with little
time at their disposal endeavored to
do too much and hence did not do it
well. The speaker told of one who in
looking for native equivalents gave
for tbe titld of bishop "big preacher;"
for priest "little preacher" and for
saerament "Btrong word." There is
the same difficulty in translating
Christian hymns as in translating the
Bible. As an instance of this the
same speaker related an inoldent of a
Christian pundit who having been
asked to make a translation of Top-
lady'a "Rock of Ages Cleft for Me?"
into tbe Teluga came back the follow
ing day saying that he did not under
stand tbe mystlo meaning of tbe
language. He had made an attempt
however which began as follows:
"Oh verv old stone split in two on my
behalf;
Let me get under one corner of you."
Colonel Cody la of the opinion
that tbe farmer who wishes to make
money in tbe next few years can do so
by raising horsea. He says tbat never
in tbe history of the country except
immediately after tbe civil war have
there been so few horses as at present.
When tbe bicycle became a fad the
public rushed to the conclusion that
tbe days of the horse were over and
this conviction aided in crowding
prices lower than they would have
gone on account of the panio and
business depression. Breeders went
out of tbe business and the farmers
disposed of their stock as faat as they
could. When the good times came
again with a couple of wars to increase
in demand there was. not enough stook
in tbe country to supply the new needs
and prices advanced 40 per cent in two
years. Tbe colonel believes tbat pri-
ces will go higher yet.
It 1b a significant fact and one that
is discomfiting to the democratic cala-
mity howlers that wheat oorn cotton
wool pork and butter are all quoted
at higher prices than they were a year
ago this meaning direct and positive
gain to every farmer and ranchman in
the country while sugar which is con-
trolled by one of the bugaboo trusts is
cheaper than it was last year. In tbe
case of cotton the increase has bean
fifty per cent and in tbe case of wool
nearly twenty-five per cent yet Bryan
oontinues to tell us tbat the things tbe
farmers produce are cheapening while
what be consumes Is getting dearer. In
this connection it may be said that j
the democratic leaders bave at last dls-
covered that Bryan's public epeeobes
are a positive drag on the party and
is asserted that an embargo has
been put upon hia mouth.
Many cities have a curfew law
which forbids children being on the
streets after a certain hour at night.
There is no curfew law in El Paso: but
if the little folks do not conduct them-
selves with more propriety in the
plaza on the nights that band concerts
are given It may be necessary to en
act such a law.
The elx most populous cities in the
United States not counting Chioago
are New York 3300000; Philadelphia
1.142653; Boston 494205; St. Louis
451770; Baltimore 434440; San Fran
olsco 298837. Chioago probably has
4000000 by this time as she baa not
figured up her population for at least
four weeks.
