western Beef in the Washington

western Beef in the Washington
Market-It has been the highest endeayor
of the Montgomery county farmer to reach
that period when he could successfully Craze
cattle. The adoption of this department of
husbandry gave the farmer several advan-
tages--it lessened his labors; it enriched his
land, and gave him sure and safe market.
II was consolation which he will have re-
placed with encouragement next year when
he places his cattle upon the market in com
petition with the rcady.butchered western
meat now filling our markets Grazing will
be found TO no longer pay in this section
and the farmer will have to content himself
with very meagre living from the produc-
ton of grain. Talking upon this subject
some of our farmers have suggested dairy
ing rs the next best department of hus-
bandry As To what has already been ac-
complished by this western method which
has been adopted within the past month is
shown by the following paragraph from the
Washington Star, of Wednesday last:
"There has been revolution In the meat
market in this city in the last two weeks,
brought about by the establishment Of a
depot here for the sale OF western bcef. In
the last ten days the price Of beef has fallen
at least 80 per cent, and meat that was
little while ago selling for IL cents per
pound is now selling for 10 and IL. The
high prices asked for meat had the tendency
to raise the price of all substitutes therefor.
In two weeks the sale of this western meat
has increased so rapidly that last week six
car loads of 10000 pounds were sold, OF
about one third of all the beef sold in the
CITY,"

As many parties do not know the exact
status of the Elk Point township-bond
matter at present, we have this week
taken the trouble to inquire into it. and
it stands as follows: The total amount,
bonds aud interest, at this date would oe
near $4,000, deducting the four years
interest raid; and with the exception of
a few hundred dollars worth. are held by
John A. Burbank. of Richmond, Indiana.
He has sued out writ of mandamus be-
fore Judge Kldder, ordering the county
commissioners to forthwith levy
tax on this township sufficient
tn liquidate the amount. The writ was
granted by Judge K,ddcr at Canton
September 3lst. but on prayer of the
commissioners an extension of thirty
days granted. Hon. Bartlett Tripp is
attorney for the commissioners and Hon.
J. A. Wallace for the bond holders. The
fees of the former will be paid by pri
vate subscription of citizens Of Elk Poiut
township. The general feeling is favor
able to fighting the validity OF the bonds
to the bitter end, aud it is hard ty tell
what plan Of procedure may be adopted
at the expiration of thirty days.
