The BODYBUILDING Washington Mon
ument at Washington is said to be
well on toward completion. The $780,
600 appropriated by Congress should
finish the shaft; and it is believed if
the marble can be furnished contract
ors in sufficient quantity within the
coming year, that the close of the
working season of 1884 will see the
monument completed to it's proposed
height-500 feet. 1t had reached up
ward of $40 feet by the close of ope-
rations last fall, 80 feet having been
added since the work was resumed in
the spring. The total pressure now
borne by the "bed or foundation" il
1851 tons, or about 92.10O of the to-
tai pressure to be placed upon it. The
money SO far voted by Congress will
complete the shaft, the pyramidion,
and also the interior staircase and ele-
vator.

Chinese labor is becoming something
OF drug in the market. The passage
OF the immigration act did not have
the anticipated effect Of giving all the
Chinese on American soil steady work
and high wages. Since the check i'm
posed on the supply Of Chinese labor
1T has not become scarce or valuable
n the market, but owing to q number
OF causes that were hardly expected,
there seems to be less demand than
ever before. Chinese are being dis-
charged from the mines, and they fail
to find employment when they flock Il,
the city. 1t is said there are now
more Of them walking about unem-
ployed in San Francisco than ever be-
fore. A few weeks ago the heaviest
contractor on the Northern Pacific
stated in an interview at Portland that
he did not consider Chinese labor re-
ally cheap, and that he was satisfied
he could employ Scandinavians with
more profit. The latest setback to
the 'little brown man, J" and one Of the
worst, is the announcement that On
derdonk the contractor who is build
ing the western end of the Canadian
Pacific, after fair trial of the Chi
nese, has concluded 70 dispense with
them aud employ white men Of whom
he has already engaged 1000.

AT the MEETING OF cattle men Tomorrow
IN this city il will undoubtedly be decided
To have another roundup OF Barber county.
This we infer from conversations had will,
the best posted cattlemen; and these in
form us that such "a coarse is absolutely
necessary. They claim that cattle were so
badly scattered, in the gulches, lowlands,
creek bottoms and timber, when the reg
ular roundup WIS made that it was impos-
sible to find all the strays, working the
range as they did. We are of the decided
opinion that the district system Will prove
the most satisfactory for the second round
up. Divide tine county into convenient
districts, and appoint some good man in
each district as cIptain-some one who is
perfectly acquainted with every foot OF his
district, and then set dny for the work to
commenc over the entire county. In this
way the work can be completed la three
days, at the most. All strays should be
cut out and driven to this place, or some
central point in the county OH a day to be
appointed, and put in an inclosure, and
these should be worked on the following
day. That no confusion may follow, the
exact hour that the cutting will commence
should be stated. If any stnys remain
their brands shOLld b. tiksn and published
one werk, aud then il the owners do not
appear, they can be turned loose. Sup
posing the Roundup should be- ordered to
commence on "Wednesday, July %, then by
Monday morning, july 30, all the strays
could be driven here and worked that day,
aud returned to their home range in less
than week from the time the work com
menced. We DO not know how week
