completed the consideration Of the proposed
river and harbpr bill 1t Is understood that
the aggregate OF the bill will not exceed
100000, Tho principal items of the bill
will be appropriations for tho Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, and Ohio rivers, and the great harbors
on tho Atlantic, Pacific, lake, aud gulf
coasts. To the Mississippi and It's tributaries
about S5,00D,000 will probably be appropri-
ated. The committee has not yet decided
what part of that amount shall DO expended
upon the Mississippi itself Members Of the
house arc being invited before the committee
to make such statements ms they may see
proper concerning improvements in their
respective districts and states. Tho bill, II is

Can be Done Under n Permit.

A number of citizens who applied to have
G street, between Sixth and Eighth streets
southeast, improved have been notified that
the work can be done under the permit sys-
tenn. Congress appropriates $4,000 year
for this purpose. Under tho permit system
tho district furnishes tho material, and the
residents are compelled to pay for tho work,
which is dono by district employees. The
commissioners are daily in receipt of num-
Dor of complaints about tho condition of
streets, aud almost every one that is improved
Is done under tho permit system.

Experience has shown us that In
breeding mules or cattle q like number
Of acres Of land is necessary to maintain
the stock for breeding purposes, and
that the outlay for fixtures, such q.

similar, il not identical, and also thai
the cost Of feed for winter and the Incl
dental expenses for labor, taxes, etc.
are alike. Experience further show.
that the percentage of annual increase
is substantially the same, and that 1t h

per cent.
The present market value of the breed

same, the cost of seed animals for tn,

of cattle, somewhat larger numbel
