In 1870 all that portion of washington
Territory lying north of Snake river and
east OF the big bend Of the Coluuobis
and the Cascade mountains, nov known
as Whitman, Spokane and Steyens
courties. was inhabited by 67s people
In 1850 the census takers reported a DO
puiation in these counties of 2y670, The
assessor of Spokane county has com
p.eted bis returns for 1883, and reports
the population of the middle one of
these counties at S,372. Ofthis Number
ll79 are IN Spokane Falls. s75 in Che
ney. and $50 IN Sprague. According 10
the Cheney Sentinel the assessor reports
that there are in Spokane county 25-5O5
acres of wheat, l0,S52 of oats and 1904
OF barley. The total increase of area in
crop over 1882 Is Is, ,095 acres. The total
amount of soil under plow. about 5000
acres. Amount OF prairie broken since
March, 1882, 5000. The assessment
rolls have not as yet been completed, but
fair estimate can be made frsm the
progress thus far. The valuation of
taxable property for the last three years
as shown by the rolls of 1880, is &S21,-
$40: 1881, $1.lf4.024; 1882, $2,l06, ,S9S;
1883, $3,240,OO0.
Among the general information gath
cred We find the following about manu-
factories: In the county there are five
Touring mills, IA saw mills, planning
mills, 4 shingle mills, 2 machine shops.
Ii does not require remarks to call at
teDtion to the wonderful growth of
Spokane county duriaQ the past four
years. Perhaps the most surprising of
these figures is the 5000 acres of new
soil turned over in the last twelve
months. Without question the year
1884 will SEQ wheat acreage of fully
5000. The assessor and his deputies
report the fall wheat crop rs first class,
vnd the spr .ng wheat crop much better
than commonly believed. Assessor
Hutchinson, in his report to the bureau
of emigration, places the acreage at
from q to 36 bushels per acre for win
ter wheat. The root crops are in fair
condition, notwithstanding the unusual
dryness of the season.

the calves very fat; two of the Deyons
were dry, and fit for any showvard.
4. Galloways, of which there were
twelve breeding; old and young looked
hard.
3. Angus or Aberdeeps, the herd con-
sistlng of about sixty. One and all
looked magnificent; every COW, without
exception, having had calf within the
last twelve months Gone had three);
several of the calves weighed over six
hundred pounds at six months old.
NO, there was not one thriftless COW
among the doddies; many of them are
now tit to enter the show-ring without
further preparation. The bull JUDGE
,150, of the Jilt or Keillor Beauty of
Buchan family-tho world-beater, who
gained the grand prix in 1878, has sup
ped from the same dish as other men,
bers of his family. To-day he can
make the scales come down at 2.4OO
pounds, with an unn istakable thud
that carries in its sound, "Angus dod-
dies and no surrender" He is now in
his ninth year, and looks as all-con-
qucring and invincible as he did five
years ago, when he, apparently con-
Va hiO
gradeur, stood guarded from the public
by one hundred French soldiers at the
great Paris exhibition, till the crowned
heads of the world feasted their ewes
on his magnificence, after his having
put horS de combat all breeds from all
nations.
AS to the feeding, the verdict stands
un1uestioned in favor of the Angus
or Aberdeen, and Cruickshank short
horns, the former having precedence,
as they have undoubtedly stood the
test above all others. The experiment
is not without its lesson, as it proves
clearly that the Angus or Aberdeen can
lay on more flesh, and give more abun-
dant milk-judging by the calves-than
any other breed under similar circum-
stances. l presume the result would
have proved as satisfactory under the
high-pressure system as it has under
the low. Probably l may be accused
of partiality; if so, give one and all a
cordial invitation to visit the Model
farm and judge for themselves.

y
of 1882 was 321, ,505 acres. OF this,
IA, 046 acres were winter-killed, 36, ,979
acres were used for pasture exclusively,
and not harvested; the remaining 270,-
4S0 acres made yield of 1882, 29S
bushels, or an average of 17.9 bushels
per acre.
The barley crops can hardly be
classed with the field crops of the state;
yet the area has increased from that
OF 1882 over 7S per cent. or an in
crease of $500 acres.
The area of millet and Hungarian
has increased over that sown in 1882,
9,606 acres, or an increase over II
per cent. The crop has been q most
satisfactory one this year, the extreme
western counties being the only ones
that have not made good yields. The
hot winds heretofore spoken of almost
annihilated the millet in this section.
The yield. if any, in these counties, is
SO slight it cannot be estimated.
The increase in the area of Irish DO
tatoes, over 1882, has been very large,
being 20, S52 acres, or not quite 35 per
cent. The early varieties have made a
most excellent crop, and the late ones
are promising we'll AS compared
with last year at this time, the pros
pect Is ID per cent better.
Sorghum, where planted for sugar
and syrup-making, is in excellent con-
dition. The average for the state, as
compared with last year is 103. The
area has increased, over the previous
year, over AZ per cent, or 33, 364 acres.
This increase is due largely to the fact
that it is being used for feed. In some
OF the extreme western counties it will
be the main winter feed for stock.
Buckwheat has decreased it's area of
last year slightly, the decrease being
90 acres. The area for the state is q
l75 acres. The condition at present is
fully up to an average. AS crop it is
disliked by Kansas farmers, and it is
only raised for home consumption.
But nineteen counties in the state
have a cotton area this year. Chau.
tauqua, Labette and Montgomery
counties have more than three -fourths
of the 474 acres in cultivation. These
counties report the prospect for crop
to be very tlattering.
But eleven counties have an acreage
of hemp. The total number of acres
in the state is but 1877. Crawford,
Jewell, Shawnee and Wilson counties
have nearly nine-tenths of the area.
The condition in these counties is re-
ported as 81.
Tobacco is grown in nearly every
county in the state, and yet the entire
area planted is only 97S acres. 1t is
grown in gardens, in small patches for
home use. The condition of the plant
is reported as being as good as usual
in this state.
The acreage of rice corn has been
reduced to 2l ,4S1 acres, and is grown
principally in the western counties,
where some dependence is placed upon
it. The condition is not as good as it
was last year by 3 per cent, the hot
winds affecting it seriously.

The prospect of a fruit crop this
year is not so good as it was one month
ago. Peaches will not make one forth
Of crop, and apples not more than
half crop. Many apples are falling
from tees. The cause being the sting
of an insect. Blackberries are almost
a failure, and can not make tenth of
crop. Grape vines are not in SO good
condition as they were one month ago
aud an average crop can not be ex
pected.
Maj. Sims, the secretary of the
board. is to be congratulated upon the
most excellent plan adopted to give
the general reader such full and
report.

MONTHLY REPORT.
synopsis OF the July Report OF the state
Board of Agriculture.

Board of Agriculture.
Topeka Commonwealth.
The July report of the state board
of agriculture is rather more interest
ing than usual, for the reason that it
gives full statistics of the growing
crops. In revision of winter wheat
statistics, the estimated yield for the
state, as reported by 459 correspond
ents, is now placed at 27, 127, 1903 bush
els, or an average yield of 1873 bushels
per acre. The spring wheat yield has
not been changed by correspondents
from that given in June. The total
crop of wheat in Kansas this year is
therefore 28,3S2,9l9 bushels, or de-
crease from the crop of 1882 of about
100000 bushels.
Correspondents have raised the state
yield of oats per acre from Ais last
month, TO 1922. This increase of near
ly one bushel has not been confined to
any one section, the crop being large
one everywhere in the state, except in
the extreme western portion, where it
made but little grain; and was cut
largely for the straw. The returns
from the five counties absent from the
tables in the June report have increased
the acreage to 694, ,576 acres, or an in
crease of IL, 1872 acres, the acreage in
Smith county being larger by over T.
600 acres. In the central portion of
the state rust appeared in some fields
few days before harvest, and reduced
the yield somewhat. In Ellis and sur
rounding counties, the yield is very
light, very few pieces having any
grain, the fields being cut for the straw.
In the eastern two-thirds, the crop has
been the heaviest of record. In Jeffer-
son county, one field of ten acres made
92O bushels, or an average of 92 bushels
per acre. James Parker, of Arlington,
Reno county, threshed 1900 bushels
from II acres, or an average of 100
bushels per acre. The crop for the
state is 29,321 1862 bushels, or nearly
million bushels more than the crop of
winter and spring wheat combined.
Much apprehension was felt as to the
future OF the corn crop this year; up to
the 10Th OF July, when copious rains
fell over all portions of the eastern two
thirds of the state. Prior to that time,
the crop in some portions of the state
was nearly thirty days without rain,
and in addition, n hot southwest wind
blew over the western half of the state
for three or four days, doing much
damage. The rain came and the crop
has revived wonderfully
The condition of the crop, as COM
pared with this time one year ago, is
lO9. The northeastern counties have
not, and cannot, recover altogether
from the adverse conditions early in
the season, when much of the area was
totally destroyed by floods. With the
exception of the northeast and extreme
west, the crop promises better than ever
before in Kansas. The addition of the
correct figures in the five counties esti-
mated in the June report. has not
changed the total materially. The
area for the state is 1866, ,022 acres, the
largest in the history of the state. From
present indications, the crop of 1883
will be very nearly ten per cent larger

A Merited Promotion.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
The Chicago and Alton railway has
made announcement that Mr.. David
Bowes, formerly Western passenger
agent will hereafter assume the title
and occupy the position of general
western passenger agent. The
new position increases Mr.. Bowes'
duties and responsibilities greatly and
places the entire country west of the
Missouri river under his supervision.
The promotion of Mr.. Bowes TO this
responsible position is recognition of
the splendid work he has done for the
road. Much of the phenomenal success
which the Chicago and Alton achieved
almost from the beginning in Kansas
CITY business is due to his judgment
and tact. He is one of the keenest pas
senger men in the country and com
bines with his shrewdness an energetic
and conscientious devotions to business
which is as rare as it is valuable.

THE ACTION of the republican caucus Of
the United States Senate yesterday in de-
ftating the nomination of General Mahone' $
candidate for secretary of the Senate shows,
not that the members Of that caucus do not
endorse Malone and his methods, but that
the public manifestation of that endorse
ment such as the President gives would
have a damaging effect upon their party by
disgusting lis more reputable members. But
no matter what it shows, the fact that Ma
hone was defeated, aud that, too, in the
house of his alies-lhose to win whose APP
prevail he had become Il traitor to his State,
his section and his race--is gratifying to all
right-thinkirg men, irrespective of political
bias

GENERAL MALONE. in his speech in the
caucus OF the republican Senators yesterday,
said the defeat Of Mr. Gorham would be
interpreted throughout the South as in
some sense 4 disapproval of the liberal
movement If he meant by ''lberal," the
M,hone movement, he spoke the truth.
Bat any truthful Virginia negro had been
in the caucus, and had been asked about the
"lihcral movement" in his State, he would
have replied that the personal safety of no
negro was secure there, previous to the late
election, who was suspected by mis- own race
of an intention Of voting against Malone.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore american says it was :the espous-
al of Gorham's cause by Malone, of Virgin
ia that has resulted in his disappointment
Mr.. Gorhau, as the editor Of the National
Republican, proved himself very useful to
Malone, and Malone has tried hard enough
in all conscience, to pay him back. 1t is,
perhaps, we'll enough that personal reasons
were urged BY the anti Gorham senators as
the ground of their opposition but the
choice of another than Gorham to be the
secretary Of the Senate will be generally
looked upon as Il suggestion to Malone
that he is no longer anything more than one
among the senators Of the United States"

PERHAPS it was because General Malone
cried out at the polls in Petersburg that he
had a pistol, and because when he lived in
Iynchburs he always carried pair of Der
ringers in his trousers pockets, that the
peaceful Senators from Massachusetts, voted
against his candidate yesterday. But it
may have been because Malone was a sup
porter OF their black bear Butler.
