The Racket reporter paid a visit
Yesterday to the Office Of the Texas
and Pacific road and was informed
that the Davis crevasse had passed
beyond control, owning to the fact
that the ends had ends had widen
ed and the depth was now thirty
feet. The engineers say that it is
impossible to close the break, and
in consequence all work has been
suspended.
Mr.. w. w. Finley, assistant gen
eral passenger agent Of the road,
stated that all the force of men en-
, ployed in the Davis crevasse had
been moved to two breaks in st.
) Charles Parish. One of the Gre
vases is twenty feet in width and
+ the other is thirty feet. Superlne
tendent Magee says that he thinks
that he will be able to close the
, breaks to-day, as there is a good
batture in front of them.
n The water in the Atchafalaya
:, swamp, which covers the track to a
q depth Of three feet, and which has
J, washed at least one-quarter OF q
a mile of the road of grade, did not
d come from the Morganza crevasse,

Of these gentlemen are Democrats, and
most Of their political associates will be
inclined to the opinion that there has
been entirely too much washing Of our

the two leading officials Qf the State

MEsDAMEs PATTI and Gerster are
doubtless vocalists whose memory will
be kept green for generations to come
by lovers Of song. During their stay in
San Francisco they have also shown that
they are incompatible adopts in the line
Of dealing out "tafiy." The San Fran.
cisco Chronicle, the other day, contained
long interview between Its reporter
end Patti and Gerster, in which these
worldwide favorites exhausted nearly
every epithet Of praise in the English
language in describing the people of San
Francisco. San Franciscans, so the
Chronicle makes these songstresses say,
are the most estbetic, the most cultivated
and approciative Of all cities. Even Bos-
ton must take back seat when it comes
to the Golden Gate, while Chicago is a
sort Of Beotian bowling wilderness in
the comparison. But Gerster did not
content herself with singing peans to
the musical and other cultivation of the
marvolously endowed people of the
Golden Gate. The San Franciscan
ladies are the handsomest in the world.
They are as sprightly as the Parisians,
as graceful as the dazzling maids Of
Madrid, while the sensuous beauty of
the orient is theirs and so on to the end
Of the chapter, according to both our
primo donne. The reporter failed to
say whether or no either of these ladies
stuck their tongues il their checks dur
ing the interview, or gave some other
and equally satisfactory sign that they
were guying him. just as soon as the
Rocky Mountains nre recrossed these
delightful warblers will probably look
through different spectacles. Mean.
while this talk pleases the San Francis
cans and does not do much harm to the
other centers of American "culehaw."

The amount of land which has been
sown to cereals this year is somewhat
wonderful. Between Los Angeles and
Santa Monica, away mp to the Cahuenga
and away round to the Ballona, there
is one dense mass of wheat and barley;
while, back of the heights Of the Cen
tinela, there is Mr.. Freemans large and
fertile ranch, which Of itself is good for
more than three hundred thousand sacks
OF grain. Between Los Angeles and
Wilmington there has not been so much
planting of the cereals as on the Son
Vicente and the Centinela ranchos and
others to the north, but it is still great
without precedent. Nothing like it has
ever been known before. Towards the
southern portion of the county tens of
thousands of acres have been put into
wheat and barley that never knew what
it was to bear blade Of grain until now.
Towards the north and east, from the
mOutc W tuo Suu bcruuruino huc, tue
eye rests upon countless fields of grain,
all of which has splendid stand and
bids fair to yield very heavy harvest.
Tho Cahuenga also is n mass OF grain.
while the acreage sown to the cereals in
the San Fernando valley has never been
approached in the past. 1t is not ex-
treme, taking the greatly increased acre
age into the count, and having regard
to the luxuriant growth which will
characterize the current year, to look
for four millions OF bushels of wheat and
barley in Los Angeles county this season.
That we shall rejoice in an abundant
market and fair prices, we do not doubt.
Our farmers are so favorably situated
that they can rely upon fair market,
even il the rest OF the State were to have
their grain stay upon their hands.
Money ought to be very abundant in
Los Angeles county this year, and
the march of improvement should be
something very memorable, and it doubt
less will be.

At what precise date olives began to
fill tbeir. present office in England is not
quite clear, but they were plentiful in
Queen Elizabeths time, and many gar
deners of that and succeeding reigns
have endeavored to acclimatize the
plant. Their peculiar relation to the
wine flask was fully established in
France in the sixteenth century; and
Cardinal Richelieu is said to have de-
tected an adventurer who was pass
ing himself off as nobleman by the fact
of his helping himself to olives with a

ST: AQUIS' GREETING.
Programmes Being Sent Out For
the Great Gathering
Of the Nations CattIemen in the
H~ospitable Mound City,"
Elaborate Preparations For the Re-
ception of the Visitors.

1.-THE National Cattle Convention will
beyond doubt be a very elaborate sue
cess" said Mr.. T. J. McMinn, of St.
Louis, who is in the West on an overland
voyage of discovery as to who and how
many will attend the great cattle conven-
ton at st. Louis on November II. He
was seen at the Inter Ocean last night.
Speaking about St. Louis generally,
Mr.. McMinn said the city during the
past year had taken on a surprising
growth, hat the a%ttrition of time had
worn away a lot of the knot-heads who
had stood in the way of its advancement,
and that younger men like Messrs. Sam
Kennard and G. G. Rainwater had in
fused new life and vigor into everything
connected with its progress. Miles of
granite made the streets an almost I'M
broken drive and the asphaltum pave
ment on Pine and Locust streets, made
those thoroughfares absolutely unsur-
passed in the United States. Apprecia-
ting the vast importance of and attend
ance at the coming Cattle Convention,
the leading citizens had placed the new
great Music Hall at the service OF the
delegates. The magnificent Examinations
used on Yelled Prophet occasions, will be
ablaze and afford a scene of Oriental
splendor, for the special entertainment of
the cattlemen.
The Governor of the State and Mayor
of the city and other eminent men will
make addresses of welcome; costly and
beautiful souvenirs will be distributed,
excursions on the river to the forks will
be furnished, and %banquets and balls will
wind up the meeting with most disting-
uished eclat. Other amusements will
take place, such as musical entertain
ments and nothing will be omitted which
money can secure or ingenuity desire to
make the occasion entirely in keeping
with the millions of capital represented or
the importance of the matters to be con-
sidered.
The affair will be made one of city
pride and nearly every resident will CON
tribute something toward its success.
About $50, 900 will be expended in the
various entertainments.
The convention is expected to last from
Monday, November II, until Saturday,
November %.
Mr.. McMinn has just returned from
Denver and speaks glowingly of the en-
thusiasm among the cattlemen there. The
stockmen will attend the convention in a
body, leaving Denver in a gaily decorated
special train, which will be run clear
through to St Louis. Each member will
wear a specially devised gold badge.
The attendance from Cheyenne and
Wyoming will undoubtedly be large.

Mr.. William Ferguson, who for some
time has been developing mines in the
western part of the county, returned Sum
day evening from Denver, where he has
made arrangements for the disposal Of
ore to good advantage. He yesterday
engaged men to prosecute the mining
with vigor, and will ship the first car load
of ore under his contract to Denver next
week.
The parties buying will crush and
sample the ore at their Denver works, and
under a now, and they claim, profitable
plan, the selected ore is then sent to Eng
land for smelling. Mr.. Ferguson has
held fast to the idea that Wyoming mines
contain pay ore with commendable per
severance, and it now looks that the
f%ruition of his hopes were about to set in.

He was an elderly man, wise looking as
the NEUROLOGICAL owl, and wore a weed on
a tall stovepipe hat. He was leading two
little children and entered Taylor's for the
purpose of seeing the curiosities. After
gazing at a number of specimens, he
paused before a stuffed mountain lion and
said: This is a full grown prairie dog.
These that you have heretofore seen in
your journey have been small ones. The
subject of natural history is indeed a most
interesting study when you have such
