THE CATTLE BUSINESS OF THE WEST

/ A correspondent of the New York
| CoDasercl1l B,tIletin has written letter
from Colorado which 10 editorislly com.
mented upon as follows:
Here at the East we have but an i'm
perfec. conception Of its value and rapid
growth, bat the simple fact that the ex.
ports Of Colorado alone during the past
! five years have exceeded in value the
shipments Of bullion, and the further
fact that what is known as the great
cattle raising belt is estimated to con-
tain today over fifteen million head
worth upward Of s300. 900. 900, are cal
culated to very materially expand those
conceptions.
The correspondent states that there
are many reasons pointing to the ulti-
mate absorption Of the business on the
plains into tho hands of large owners.
whose competition wipes out the profits
Of small rancheros. Already the lifts,
Boslers. Dorsey. waddingham. Craig.
Hall Brothers, and others, have each
nearly as many cattle Is existed in
either of the Territories year ago, and
together more than existed In New
Mexico, Colorado and Nebraska COM
bined. Just now there is great alarm
on account Of the fear that pleuro-
pneumonia will bankrupt the stock men
Of the plains. II it gains . foothold
there, it may be impossible to stop it.
There will be a strong pressure for such
legislation at the next session of Con.
gress as will keep it at distance. The
Western members nearly all favor strin-
gent measures, whatever these may be,
and hence it is morally certain that
something will be done.
The cattle trade interests Washing
tonians and Oregonians ss we'll a. peo-
pie on the eastern slope Of the Rockies.
Notwithstanding the peculiar advan.
tages of stockraisers in Texas, Kansas.
Colorado. Montana and Dakota, We on
the Pacific slope can beat them oil.
Our lands are unquestionably more fer
tile than theirs. the ranges superior and
safer, and the climate better. Our day
for trouble with Indians has gone past
and in this there is an immense advan-
tage. We never have drouths, while
our winter cold is nothing IN comparison
with that of Wyoming, Montana and
Dakota. We are little further off, to
DO sure, but that is the least item for
consideration. Probably forty thousand
head of beef cattle have already gone
from Eastern Oregon. Washington and
Northern Idaho this season and we will
be disappointed if the number is not
ono-half greater in 1880 and ten times
as great decade hence.

New YORK, Sept 15.-The freight
steamer Lenhope. which recently ar
rived hero from Liverpool, had no few
or than forty four stowaways. Twenty
five were discovered and put ashore at
Holyhead, but nineteen more showed
themselves afterwsrd and were brought
to New York. They were mainly boys.
Gov st. John, of Kansas, in q recent
letter says that black emigrants 20 that
State from the South. have not suffered

well at farming. and in Kansas, not

During the past summer l6.O27 cabin
passengers left here and Philadelphia,
in steamers for Europe. This does not
include the steamers of the Guion. Will
con and Bristol lines, which would ma
terially increase it During 1878. more
than 10000 cabin passengers sailed
from this port alone. The excess of
last year was probably caused by the
Paris Exposition.

GYPSUM.

Mr.. L. B. Andrews has lately discoy.
cred, near his place on Squak Greek, q
large deposit Of gypsum. Gypsum is a
sulphate of lime, containing 81 per cent
Of water. It often is found in transps.
rent crystals, or crystalline masses, easily
splitting into plates, and is then called
selenite. When white. fne- grained and
translucent, it constitutes alabaster.
Gypsum burnt to drive of the scooter.
and then ground up, forms plaster Of
paris.
No gypsum deposits in any quantities
before this have been found on the Pa
cifc coast. All that is used here il
brought from the States. The nearest
deposit, so far as we arc informed, is
that in the State Of Michigan. In the
year 1852 the little town of Grand
Rapids. in Michigan, located on account
of the largo gypsum beds in that vicin-
ity, had but two hundred inhabitants.
1t is now city with a population Of
tbirty.six thousand and over. 1t was
built up on the trade in gypsum manu-.
featured there. 1t is used in hardfnish
and all kinds Of plaster and stucco
work. |. is also used extensively as q
fertilizer. From half to q number Of
tons is used every year by nearly all
the farmers in Michigan. Indiana and
the Western States. 1t is invaluable to
secure luxuriant growth of clover
upon poor and sandy soils. 1t is worth
here about $3.50 pr barrel of 200
pounds. II this deposit, discovered by
Mr.. Andrews. was near navigsble wa
tiers, his fortune would be assured; but
as it is, he must secure his prize and
abide his time. He has fortune in
store provided none is discovered more
advantageously located.
Thus the discoveries made from year
to year show that Western Washington
is rich in mineral wealth, aud that such
wealth is Of permanent character. A
fino body of pure anthracite coal has
but recently been discovered on the
Stillaguamish.

CHINESE IN EASTERN CITIES.

lhe NOW YORK Herdtd says that there
are in the city of New York, besides
800 lsundries, 80 Chinese grocers, 30
tobacconists and 10 druggists. with
enough Mongolians in other callings to
illustrate the adaptability Of the race.
From the article itself the following is
extracted; For tho past two years the
Chinese population Of New York has
shown remarkable increase. With
cause for breeding the supremacy of
the Workingmen's party in San Fran
cisco. and having an unfavorable opin
ion Of the new Constitution Of Califor-
MIA. they have been emierating to East
crn cities, principally to New York,
Boston aud Philadelphia, in large
numbers. In 1875 there were only 157
Chinese in New York, but the census
next year will show many thousands,
most Of whom have been exiled by the
brutality OF California mobs. In 1875
Chinese were scattered hero aud there
throughout the city, having no psrticu-
lar place Of rendezvous. Since that
time headquarters have been established
which now assume the Dimensions Of q
good sized colony. This is mainly due
to tho efforts Of some leading spirits
who persuaded the Chinese residents of
San Francisco to establish branch OF

UNITED STATES SIGNAL SERVICE.

The permanent committee OF the
Vienna Meteorological Congress have
Just paid the United States the high COM
pliment OF recommending to a proposed
second congress the adoption throughout
tho world of plan for exchanges of data
for simultaneous weather maps or other
purposes, similar to the one first organ
lied for the United States by General
Myer. the Chief Signal Officer. in 1873.
and which has been continuously pur-
sued by the signal service to this day.
The future of this exchange, as set on
foot by the United States, are as follows:
let. The signal Office of the United
States asks all countries to make and re-
cord daily, on land and seq, one stimuli
taneous weather observations at the same
exact instant of time.
I'd. The United States then exchanges
with each country separately, making an
especial reques: of each to establish such
exchange.
Sd. Each country sends to the United
States every fifteen days its own observa.
tons; all are thus received by the United
States.
4th. TIE signal Office OF the United
States then oollates and prints all, its
own co-incident observations included.
and returns in this shape to every regu-
lar observer. who has sent continuously
o signal report, the reports gathered from
almost the whole northern hemisphere.
For one report sent regularly by any
regular observer anywhere, on ship or
shore, he receives 500, and these 500 sur
round and cover nearly the northern
hemisphere. It has been the theory of
the Chief Signal Officer that. with such
information so widely diffused. Q great
deal OF work will be done by separate OBJ
servers in every country which will be Of
use to all. but which the solitary observer
alone could never think OF undertaking
unless the data have been thus laid down
before him. The United States need the
data for themselves, and they help be-
sides an international union OF brains as
we'll as hands.
For nearly six years this exchange.
originated and conducted by the signal
service OF the United States, has been
perfectly successful, almost every civil
lied nation north of the equator has
taken part in it. It has made possible
for the first time in the history OF the
world the preparation of daily stimuli
tansous map Of the northern hemisphere.
at Washington, (this also is sent to each
obssrvsr.) and has probably advanced
the study of practical meteorology as far
as any one undertaking in the last
century.
