In addition TO these there are in round
numbers 400 dwellings, great and small, in
various statges of construction which
will cost at low estimate on an
average $500 each making an additional
100000, thus making grand aggregate of
$685., 42s to be spent in buildings now under
contract. A number of brick blocks and
frames have already been finished this year
and are now occupied and there is no telling
how many more will be built before the
year ends. When the grand aggregate total ex-
pended in building during the year will be
footed up, we venture to assert that no other
city of double its size in the whole country
will make as good showing.

wIcHITA'S WISHES.

Last Fridays Wichita EAGLE contains
the outlines of a dream by its editor which
in few years would make Wichita the
rival of Kansas City and st. Louis. He sees
visions of all the important trunk lines now
terminating at Kansas City rolling and
tumbling over each other in mad en-
deavor to reach the queen of the Arkansas
Valley. Then follows river rates on all
products of the vast region paying tribute
to Wichita, and the same toll on all the
necessities and Injuries used by that people
until by sheer force of fortuitous circum-
stances his town stands way above every
other in the west A careful reading of the
article almost demonstrates the PRACTICABLE
ity of the scheme. Here is what interests
us, being quotation from the EAGLES ar
ticle:

As matter Of curiosity we once looked
up the amount of business a road occupy
ing this territory would probably do in an
average year and it was almost beyond COM
prehension, certainly beyond belief until
the figures were scanned and certified. Clay
Center can be counted on when the proper
time for It arrives. She wants such road
as this would be, but not one which would
begin no where and end no place. The
EAGLE has started the movement, let it take
steps which viii result in something definite.

PLANT PECAN TREES.

The lll'success that has generally
attended the attempts to conduct
our agricultural industries upon the
policy pursued in the old days of
slavery, is rapidly bringing our ia
telligent people to the opinion that
they must cease to rely solely upon
the cultivation of cotton, sugar and
rice to advance their interests.
They see the necessity of availng
themselves of every resource Of oar
lands to make money; and by that
means, to place themselves in pos.
ton withstand any losses they
may incur in cultivating reduced
acreage of our chief staples.
Aside from stock raising, truck
farming, etc, which should be
pushed to their fullest limit, Louisi-
ana affords resources that require
but little attention to make them
highly renunerative.
Foremost among these, is the
planting of pecan trees on an extern
sive scale The pecan tree no where
grows better than in this State, and
if our people wonld plant them
around their fields, yards and roads,
in ten or more years the pecan crop
would bring millions of dollars into
the State. The pecan is now quoted
in St. Louis at from 41 to 81 cents
per pound for Western or Texas.
In Now Orleans, Texas pecans are
quoted at from 5 to 125 cents per
pound, while the Louisiana pecan is
quoted at from ten to twenty five
cents per pound, according to size
A barrel holds about 200 pounds,
which at the lowest price would
bring ten dollars. The average
pecan tree in this State will yield
not less than five barrels. Just
think of it!
The farmer, by the mere planting
of the trees, in few years, would
be enabled to obtain "A yearly reve-
nue., from one hundred pecan trees,
amounting TO the hugesum of Five
Thousand Dollars.
We trust that this matter will re-
ceive the attention of our contempt
rsries throughout the State, and
that they will join us in urging our
people to go work without delay
and plant these mines of wealth
about their places, wherever the
hardy, shady, and beautiful pecan
tree can be set without inronvan.
ience.- [Capitolian- Advocate.

JUDGE HAHN's SUCCESSOR


There is a curions state of affairs.
and the members of the bar are
considerably excited, in the judicial
district now presided over by Judge
Hahn. Shortly after the election
of Judge Hahn to Congress- he sent
his resignation AS Judge to the Gov.
ernor, to take effect on the third OF
March next, and the resignation was
accepted.
The law on the subject, with re.
gard to filling the vacancy, was
passed at the last session of the
Legislature, (Act No. 5S,) and APP
proved by the Goyernor. 1t pro.
vides "That it shall be the duty of
the Governor, Immediately upon
ascertaining the death, resignation
or removal of any district judge, to
order an election TO fill the vacancy"
etc.
Notwithstanding the law, which
is clear and unambiguOus. and was
passed to carry into effect paragraph
five, of article 100 of the constitu.
tton OF the State, the Governor has
not yet issued his proclamation
ordering the election. Many lead.
ers of public sentiment in the dis.
trlct, OF both parties, haveannounced
their intention to elect Hon. Emile
host, of st. Charles, 10 ill the va
cancy. 1t is supposed by many
that programme has been arranged
to have the vacancy happen and to
neglect to provide for an election so
that the Governor may have an
excuse for appointing a Judge. The
long delay in issuing the proclama.
ton for the election is an argument
in favor of this suppositiou. What.
ever may be the intentions of the
Governor-and there should be no
doubts on the subject, for the law
is plain-the people of the Twenty.
Sixth Judicial District, and es.
Decially the lawyers, are considera.
bly, in doubt and do not understand
what will be the outcome of the
present uncertainty. However,
loas eerrOaS in due time.-[Pica.

THE WORLDS EXPOSITION.

Since the opening of the Grand
Worlds Exposition at New Orleans,
on the 16 ult., it appears as if the
fates were opposed to its proving a
success. Not alone has the weather
been very untavorable, but with the
two strikes of the car drivers, thus
preventing a larger attendance dur.
ing those periods, and the enormous
amount of freights carried by the
different lines of trunk railroads
centering therein moving the crops
all tending as drawbacks to the
rapid transportation and delivery oil
exhibits and visitors, thereby causing
considerable annoyance, as well as
loss Of time and money to the board
OF management.
However, we trust this will be but
an incentive to one and all, to prove
to the world that we are capable OF
overcoming difficulties, greatthoagh
they appear to be, and by "a long
pull and a strong pull, aud pull
all together, laying aside all petty
differences or Jealousy, each and
every one contributing their mite
by attending with their families, as
often as their means will permit, the
more the better for yourselves, as
there you have opportunities of see
ing many things you have never
seen before or may never witness
again, which would require years of
travel and an expenditure of Ghous-
ands of dollars to see the like in the
respective countries of the world.
and the rich out of their abundance
should vie with each other in words
OF encouragement, as well as liberal
and generous contributions thereto.
1t is gratifying to see that the
people OF the city and country are
awakening to a realizing sense OF
duty, particularly since the report
and noble address of Major L. A.
BHrke, at the Cotton Exchange.
May each and all, whether visitor,
exhibitor or citizen, unite in a firm
determination to render tull credit
for what has been accomplished un
der many trying circumstances and
with the change of weat her for the
better, now that all is complete and
under full Roadway, with the smiles
of a benefcent Providence, it will
prove,as it deserves to bet grand
est aud most successful Exposition
ever known.
