Us that the csttle interest of this section is
more than doubling every year, and that at

proves that valuable time is Lost in growing

TEXAS CATTLE DRIVE.

We present this week some further in

drive, which was furnished to the San An

live stock agent Of the Kansas Pacific Rail
way. Mr.. Conkle, who returned to this city
on Monday from San Antonio. has corrected
some typographical erros, which occurred
in Its production 10 the San Antonio paper,
for the Iodicator, and therefore We have the
pleasure Of presenting il to our readers re-
vised.
We have never known such divenity Of
opinion in reference to the number of cattle
which will be driven north a. there has been
this year. First 1t vas thought the number
would be small. mot more than lbs, OOO, then
it vas increased to 5000, and again to
100000, and nov We have Mr.. Conlle plac-
ing the figures at III, 800.
In an interview with . representative Of
the indicator, as 10 the condition of cattle
In Texas, Mr.. Conkle agreed with what Mr..
Montgomery said last week. But be disa.
grees with Mr.. Montgomery in the number
of beevss which will be driven. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. NJ. stated that he did
not think that there wocld be more than
1900 beeves driven, whereas Mr.. Conkle
places the number at 20. 900. and thinks that
it may probably be increased to $4,000.

Fortitying tht Sub. Treasury Building.

The government is turning the Sub -Trea-
sury building in New York into a fort
The building itself is one of the strongest
in New York, but as even the strongest
buildings have yielded to to the united ac-
tion Of mobs, it has been thought judicious
to further strengthen it, SO as to protect the
millions of treasure stored there. For this
purpose the windows of the basement and
first floor are being protected by steel bar
gratings II inches in diameter. When the
gratings are complete, the iron shutters
within the steel bars may be partially open
ed when there is no fear Of danger. The
iron shutters are to be further stre Rgthel.-
ed by inch plates of steel, and each one
is being pierced for rifles, the loop holes
being protected by small shutters covering
them from behind. From these loop holes
the rifiemen, protected by the shutters, can
sweep the streets In almost every direction.
The windows under the caves are to be pro.
tected with iron shutters, which can be
opened in such way as to form covering
for msn who may be engaged in throwing
hand -grenades, and thus protect them from
missiles sent from opposite houses. As ri
ateFs @ adnt nigbt get get on 81 top Of opposite houses
windows OF the treasury building, three
steel turrets are being constructed on the
roof, and from these protected points rifles
and Gatling guns can send their missiles
over every housetop. The work is now in
progress and will be completed by the mid
die of September.

CANADIAN RAILWAY LANDS,
HOW THEY ARE WITHDRAWN FROM SET

The Canadian Government have mad,
new regulations as to shei Dominion land.

Pacific railway. As to che Eve miles
on each side OF the line, to be called Belt A,
the whole of the lands are absolutely with
drawn from homestead entry and from pre-.
emption, and are to be held for sale at Sc
per acre. As to the remainder, it in TO be
divided into belts, which are to be called
respectively Belts B, consisting OF Is miles
each; Belts G, 90 miles each; Belts d, 30
miles each: and Belts e, 80 miles each
The even-numbered sections therein, are
open for homosteads and -pra-axapsians at
the prices hereafter mentioned, and the
odd-numbered sections are to be railroad
lands. at
The price put upon the railway lands in
the several belts is /: ,
Belt B, $5 per acre Belt c, $3.50; Belt
D, 90; Belt e, 81.
The railway lands are to be sold at these
rates, neither above nor below them, and
purchasers are to pay for them in cash, ,one-
tenth at the time Of purchase, and the bal

terest at six per cent. Under the new reg
Ulations o man can homestead only 80
acres, and pre-mpt only 80. The order

The Profits Of Farming.

wealth from $35, 600. 900 to $40, 1000, 600.
No such sum has ever been added to the
wealth Of State with as little risk or as
great profit upon the capital and labor in
vested. It is not an unusual or exception
al thing for the product to DO equal to ene-
half the value of the soil that produced it.
Thousands of acres of land in the State
have, in two years, produced wheat equal
in value to the land producing it. The
product of corn has been very little behind
that Of wheat in point of profit. This, of
course, ia not common or even an average
result. taking ons year with another. The
past three have been favored years with

make NO reference here to Indebtedness and
embarrassment from that cause, under
which thousands of farmers are laborlng in
common with all other classes. Such in
debtedness in nine cases out of ten is the
result of some other cause than following
their agricultural pursuits. Considering,
therefore, the profit of the business as it is
pursued by the average western farmer,
