The agricultural bureau will soon send out
a circular reviewing the conditions OF the
crops and live stock for the past year. The
winter wheat crop shows slight increase
over last year In New England, the Gulf
States. and States north Of the Ohio river
The increase In Illinois Is specially large,
there being an extensive change from spring
to fall sowing. West OF the Mississippi the
acreage of winter wheat has been reduced.
The condition Of the crop on the first OF
January west of the Mississippi river
was not promising. The area OF winter
rye has fallen off about per cent. The corn
crop for 1878 was about 1000, 81 bushels
an increase Of 29,OOO,0OO bushels from 1877,
and the average selling price about five cents
less on the bushel, thus reducing the aggre-
gate market value OF the crop about $4,000
600. The wheat crop was about 57OO0000
bushels larger than In 1877, but was sold
about thirty cents per bushel lower, SO that
the aggregate market value was about
$50, 000,0 900 less. The high price Of wheat In
1878 was owing to the war In Europe. In 1878
one-fourth of the crop, or 100000 bushels,
was exported.

tbe widening OF a street on which its track
NJ laid, but claimed that its interest was not

Which has decided that street railway COM

Cautious Critics.

Says the "'Times-Review": According to
the local papers the action of the SHERIFF.
posse in the Fish Creek affair is quite Sc
verely censured by some Of the people Of
Eureka. This was to be expected. There
is a class Of persons in every community
who are always ready to heap abuse upon
the officers Of the law upon general prin-
ciples, and it is this class, we are confident,
who are adversely criticising the acts Of
Officer Simpson and his companions. II
the latter had done less than they did they
would have been derided by the same
c~avilers as dastardly towards. The only
way that they could nave escaped the CEN
ure Of these critics was to have stood and
been shot dow like dogs by their armed
opponents. From the published versions
Of the affair we do not see how the officers
could have acted otherwise than as they
did, without exhibiting the most contempt
IDLE cowardice and being guilty Of the
grossest dereliction of duty. The taking
Of human life under any circumstances is
always to be deplored, but it is sometimes
necessary. Doubtless the men who fired
the fatal shots deplore the necessity which
prompted their action, but further than
that we cannot perceive that they have any
cause for regret, and certainly hone for
self-reproach.

The Elko 'Independent' states that the
State Department Of Public Schools has
notified the various County Superinten-
dents that the Compulsory Act" must be
percmptorily enforced. This can only be
accomplished by the Trustees Of the
schools, whose duties require that in every
instance in which parents or guardians fail
to send their children or wards to school,
after they have reached the proper age, to
prosecute the parties SO failing, under the
provisions Of the Compulsory Act. The
law has been persistently violated in this
district, and 1t is high time that the
Trustees arouse themselves and faith
fully discharge this most important Of
their duties. There are none, perhaps,
who will attempt to deny the wisdom
OF the law, or the high advantages TO
be derived from its strict enforcement;
there il therefore no Excuse for permitting
il TO become a dead letter upon our stat
utes. To the poor child, defrauded Of the
most valuable Of all his rights and to the
community at large, it is due that this hui
name and most estimable Of laws should
be strictly and generally enforced.

Says the Reno journal: Congressman
Daggett is still at Steamboat Springs, hav-
ing selected that quiet resort as a suitable
place to permit him to write a book, the
writing Of which he commenced in Wash
ington three years ago. We do not know
the title; the story is one Of Western life,
ranging from Ohio to the Pacific coast,
when the Indians occupied the former and
the Argonauts the latter. 1t will be q re-
cital Of incidents familiar to all, and sufi-
cient romance will be woven in to it to
make it doubly interesting. We rather
think the book, when it appears, will ere
ate a sensation in literary circles. From
the acknowledged ability Of the author, we
are sure that the work will be appreciated
by the reading public.

driven in here from the south last evening,
belonged to Joe WHEEL. Of Eureka. who
had them in charge. They were rounded
up" near the river opposite town last night,
and herded until this morning. Some ad.
ditional vaquerors were obtained here, and
at an early hour the band was started to-
ward Cheyenne, where Mr.. Winzell in
formed us he would take them, unless a
good range should be found before reach
ing there. The cattle are now in good

The FIRST Bill.

The first bill for expenses growing out Of
the strike, was presented to Clerk Dodge
yesterday, to be submitted to the Commits
sioners at their regular meeting. 1t was
from the railroad company, and amounted
to $40, for transporting the squad Of mill
tia to Alpha and return. There is no doubt
that when the entire amount Of indebted
ness is discharged, the aggregate will foot
up an amount appalling to tax payers and
sufficient to have kept the entire body Of
strikers for several months.

The Coming Match.

Dave Aston received a dispatch from the
Secretary Of the Phoebe Club yesterday,
stating that the expenses OF the Eureka
Clubs nine and an umpire would be de-
frayed and the club allowed $3.50. The
Eureka Club had offered to pay the expense
OF the Piochers hsre and to allow them
$500, but the offer was refused, and the
intimation conveyed that our boys were
trying TO draw out. This the latter were
not prepared to stand, and so will accept
the proposition made, and the game is now
a fixed fact.
