The report of the railroad commissioner
shows continued prosperity to have pre-
vailed in the railroad business of the state:
The total number OF miles of completed
road reported within the state, Dec. l. 1882,
was 3,74913 The total number Dec 1,
1884, was 4, 1852. %. of which 256 81 miles
were constructed within the last twelve
months. The total earnings of these roads
within the state was. for the year ending
June 80. 1882, $1S, S05, 1913. 16. The total
earnings for the year ending June 80 1884,
was 1913, 243, 466 %. The total operating
expenses, which amounted to S1O,221,-
1888. SO in 1882, were 81 ,7S4 ,253. So for
the year ending June 30, 1884. The aver
age earnings per mile had increased from
SIS, 642. "a to SIS, 924. II in two years; while
the average operating expenses had been
reduced from So ,O66. 80 to So, 0O4 IS. The
average cost OF construction of the roads in
this state, including equipment as repre-
sented by their issues of bonds and stock, is
given by the commissioner at $40. 1874 So
per mile. The average earnings of the same
for the last twelve months report exceed
the average OF operating expenses by
So 92O. 40 per mile. The taxes paid to the
state on the gross earnings of the railroads
in this state during the past year were
$645, 1876 Is. This large amount will be
steadily increased from the increase of bust
ness upon these roads and from the new
lines, OF winch nu1nDer OF important ones
are soon to be completed
CONCLUSION

your deliberations here will be desire to
serve the best interests of your constituents,
and trusting that the people of the state may
not be disappointed in their expectation Of
such practical remedial legislation at your
hands as shall best promote their prosperity
and happiness, / commend the subjects of
this communication to your considerate at

The suggestions of the commissioners re-
garding the necessity for protection to the
food fishes of our waters deserve attention.
Their Wanton destruction in recent years
unless checked, threatens the speedy extinc-
ton of some of the most desirable species of
fish that inhabit our lakes and streams.
THE WORLDS EXPOSITION.
Pursuant to the provisions of an act of con-
gress, approved Feb. 10. 1888, ito encour-
age the holding of worlds industrial and
cotton centennial exposition" there was in
augurated in New Orleans, on the 10th of
last month, what will probably prove to be
the most extensive and complete collective
exhibit of the arts, Industries, products and
resources of the world that has vet been
brought together. The act referred to pro-
vided that the president should appoint, upon
the recommendation of the governors
thereof, a commissioner and an alternate COM
missioner for each state and territory, whose
special function shall be to represent the
interests OF their several communities at the
proposed exposition In pursuance thereof
in January last Oliver Gibbs, Jr, OF Lake
City, was appointed commissioner, and Col
Sam E. Adams OF Minneapolis, alternate
commissioner of Minnesota AS the plans
for this exposition were developed, and par
ticularly after congress by subsequent act
appropriated 81 600, 600 as a loan to aid in
it's organization, and provided further sum
for governmental representation in the
exhibition, became satisfied that the scope
and purposes of the exposition were thor
oughly national in their character and that
it would be productive of results of much
to al parts of the country Re-
membering with painful regret, as every
patriotic Minnesotian must, the failure of
our state to make proper presentation of
her natural and industrial resources at the
centennial in 1876, 1 was extremely anxious

Increase. $65.992, 5O6 1851, 472 81. oO5, 243
The increase, as indicated by this state
ment, is greater than the entire insurance
business of the state seven years ago. A
striking and not altogether pleasant feature
of this showing is the great disproportion OF
losses to premiums ndrisks; from which the
commissioner demonstrates that the bust
ness In Minnesota has not of late been re-
to the companies. His conclu-
sions as to the cause Of such excessive fire
losses, and suggestions as to their proven
ton, present a subject for serious reflection.
The revenues Of the state have been aug
mented by taxes and fees collected through
the commissioners department the past two

FISH CULTURE.

Fish CULTURE
The work of the fish commission has been
much extended tho past two years. and con-
siderable additions made to the state hatch
cry, greatly increasing its capacity for the
propagation of it's product.
The distribution among the waters of the
state has been as follows:

The historical society has measurably re-
covered from the disaster it met in the burn
ing of the capitol in 1881. Many of the
archaeological and historical specimens de-
stroyed could not be replaced, as their dupli-
Gates do not exist. Other valuable contribu-
lions have been made to its museum, how
ever to an extent sufficient to restore the
variety and attract1veneSs of its collections
Its loss of publications has been substan-
TALLY made good and further valuable addi-
lions made to its library within the past two
years. 1t has now over l l 900 volumes of
standard works upon it's shelves, and a num-
Der of unbound volumes sufficient to swell
the total to % 900, all of which are being
thoroughly catalogued by an expert. The
secretary regrets that the newspapers
throughout the state do not more generally
contribute their journals to the permanent
collections of the society. AS chronicles of
the current history of the commonwealth,
he believes they will prove invaluable annals
to succeeding generations The rapid accu-
mutations of it's library and museum will
soon demand the increased accommodations
which separate structure will furnish, and
for which an eligible site was secured some
years since, and considerable subscription
is already pledged.

On yesterday IL was reported on
the street that there had been a ready
built house shipped to Waco from
Chicago, and All EXAMINER reporter,
anxious TO see such wonder, re.
paired to the Missouri Pacific depot,
but was referred to Mr.. James
Blake's Model market. On arriving
at the market, large crowd was seen
gazing inteDtly at what might have
Oeen easily mistaken for suburban
eoitage, but what was in reality a
stevens refrigerator manufactured by
the Stevens Co, Toledo, o.
Its dimensions are ms follows,
eleven f ct long, ten feet high, and
six feet wide. II was manufactured
expressly for MIR. Blake and is adapted
to the peculiar climate of Texas. The
makers, in a private letter to Mr..
Blake, state that without doubt IL
is the best built refrigerator they
and that there is none other In Texas
that can at all compare with 1t.
IL holds three tons of ice and has
two separate compartments, one for
uncut meat, and the other for steaks,
roasis aud other small pieces, ali OF
which can be kept solidly during the
hottest of the summer months.
MIR Blake certainly shows that he
is one of the enterprising business
men of the town III going
to this amount of expense,
but il is just what Texas butchers
have been needing for many
years, and now no more shall II be
said Of Texas that 1t has the fattest
cattle and toughest beet of any state
in the union. II is impossible for
beef, when served before the animal
heat has been extracted, to be tender,
and cry against Texas beef, but the
customers ofthe Model Market may
now enjoy the delicious luxury OF
having their meat tender and deliv.
cred IN frozen temperature.
Mr.. Blake, the proprietor, is All old
butcher, having been engaged in the
business all his life in Illinois. lie
never ships any of his cattle, but sc,
lects the latest beef that can bt
bought for Strengthening.
lie has secured the services of tho
finest cutter In the state, Mr.. John j
Murphy, who has been holding a simi
lar position 4 for years in the fines
market of New York City. The mar
ket is connected by telephone, and il
addition there is Que mau whose sol,
business is to go to the residences o
the patrons and take their orders
and the orders are very numerous; 1
large force is kept busy all day ant
a greater part of the night, cutting
and delivering the delicious steak
and roasts.
