RsfIosPasrivs oLANcs.
II we lock back forty years W shall & d
that u good many thrifty trading posts and
several quite large towns existed along the
banks Of the Mississippi river. st. Louis
Was an important city then and Chicago
aud Milwaukee had scarcely an existence
Nearly all the trade done west Of the lakes
VAS done at St. Louis The tide Of the en-
igration poured westward steadily, and the
fertile soil upon either bank Of this great
river was rapidly taken up. Thousands
also settled around the margin Of Michigan
and in few years the spectacle Was pre-
ssntsd Of strips Of pretty dense sgricultur
81 population along both sides Of the MIS-
s.ssippi sad along the western margin Of
Lake Michigan, With = vast, fertile, unoo
cupisd prairie rolling between. About the
year le45 Chicago began TO attract attsn-
ton, having . population Of $4,000, and in
the course Of few years began to grow
very rapidly. AT that time ST. Louis WAS
CO nparstlvely . large city. having popu-
!aton Of nearly 10000. She controlled all
the commerce Of the Mississippi Valley
There were no railroads. west Of Buffalo. nd
had the most sanguins man OF that day
been asked TO make prediction concernin &
the establishment Of the present vast rail-
road system Of the West. he would have
placed our present achievement many years
further in the future or heoted at the idea
in toto.
Then il discusses the growth of The rail-
ROAD transportation Of grain.
rhosrEcrs FOR rms FUTURE CONSIDERED.
Now, suppose We briefly consider the
prospects Of making . success Of this trade
in the coming years. Let US take ~ q bs-
sis for future Development the steadily in
crsasipg ratio Of past embodiment and make
q rough estimate Of what the next twenty
years ~,ll do for s.. Louis. First, suppose
We consider the sources Of wesilh IRON
which the St Louis Of the future is TO derive
her grandeur. and take note OF their present
development and what twenty years of un-
foldment will do for them.
For years past, in fact since the discovery
Of the Mississippi. the whole broad region.
bounded on the sast BY Indiana ard Lake
Michigan, and on the west BY the Rocky
Mountains-a vast fertile strip, extending
from Psmbina TO the Bslizc, more than =
thousand miles in breadth-has been called
the Valley Of the Mississippi. We propose
to divide this region - follows: The States
drained by the Mississippi and its navigab 6
tributaries shall bs called the Mississippi
Valley States. liza true that the States Of
Missouri ard Iowa are washed by the wa
tiers Of both these great rivers, so in this
case We will divide those two States intl
halves. Eastern and Western Iowa, and
Northern and Eastern Missouri.
The following is list Of tho States al.
rectiy drained by these tive rivers and the

The larger taxpayers of the
county find considerable fault with
the Board of Equalization in not
taking action on their applications
for reduction. A majority of that
body believed they had no right to
reopen these cases at this late day,
having once passed them at a former
session. That some Of the property
in the list is assessed too high is
plain TO every reasonable man. For
instance, the Rising Star mill is put
down at SIP, 900, involving the pay
ment of Sc, 800 taxes on property
entirely reproductive, and not worth
in the market over twice the amount
demanded for one years taxes. The
law and the habit Of taxing uupro
dnctive property excessively whe,h
er that property be goods, no ises Or
mills is wrong, Wi producing
property is allowed to go VITA light
or no taxation. But lhat is neither
here nor there, the question upon
which the matter before the Board
turned was whether Or 10 they had
the authority 10 acf. Miles and
Hughes thought they had not, and
Swart thought they had. They were
all. no doubt, Conscientious in Their
opinions and the matter will either
undergo an investig .;ion in court or
be settled in accordance with the
original assessment.

IDAHO vs. NEvADA.-During the first
visit OF Nose Lyon to Cope District,
he was as usual a little noisy. A
Deputy Sheriff from Elko happened
to be there and tapped Nose on the
shoulder, saying, "My friend | am
Deputy Sheriff of this county and
cannot have so much noise, you will
have TO be little quiet" Nose, ever
ready for any emergency, demanded
a sight at the officers commission,
which had been inadvertently left at
Elko and couldn't be produced.
i" There's where | have the advan-
tage OF YOU" said Nose, | am
Deputy Constable of Owyhee. and
shall be under the necessity of COM
pelling you to attend to your own
business, and not to interfere when
gentlemen are conyersing," at the
same time exhibiting tin star on
his vest. The officer acknowl
edged himself powerless, and allow
ed Nose to have his own way and
talk as loud as he pleased.

that Hazard intends TO appeal to the
