AUGUST Is NEARLY half gone, ana
vet we see no indications of II com
mencement of building road to the
Delaware as agreed upon by the City
Council. II the road is to be built al
all, now j. the time to commence it,
while there is plenty of money in the
City Treasury and the weather is favor
able to outside operations. The City
Couuci, owe it to the people that thc
road shall be constructed to the river
and a wharf built the present building
season. Tho money has been levied on
the FAX PAYERS to complete the work
and three tourths Of il has already been
collected and paid into the Treasury
With money in the Treasury with
which 20 prosecute the work, it is not
understood why the work is delayed.
There is a prcmonition that the money
collected from the people for that pur-
pos, is to be used tor another and differ
ent purpo>c and in consequence of which
the construction of the road will not be-
commenced until next year. We hope
the peopl" will watch closely what be-
comes Of the taxes they have paid and
see that they arelegitimateiy applied AS
Resolved by Council.

1hos. Lahey has gone to the Pan Handle
to receive the large flock OF sheep he bought
in New Mexico. He will be absent couple
OF weeks. We might add in this come clion
that Mr.. Lshey is working up a large cor
respondence with sheep men throughout thr
S ate Of those who desire to make purchases
Of sheep. The latest information from New
NJ. xico is to the effect that Mexican sheep
have advanced slightly in price. There vii
be a good demand for sheep, and We believe
prizes will be a Ii tie above those Of las,
year. II prices are too high sheep buysr-
will hold back. Sheep are worth q 6xed
price, and above fair pric. cannot be sold.
There will be no use to take advantage OF
the demand for sheep by advancing price,
The wool market does not appear to effect
sheep growing and sheep sales. Sheep are
profitable with wool at a much less Squire
than now held 10 an unstable market. There
is growing purpose to accept the ad.:ta-
bility Of the country to sheep raising, and IN
unsettled wool market does not interfere with
the tendencies Of sheep raising. That Dodge
City will be an important sheep market is
already assured from indications. Sheep
men are daily making inquiries concerning
sheep, of trades and probable prices, With
view Of extending their q pcks.
