have been useless for some time, but now
1t is almost assured that they will be sue
cessfully operated in the near future. Mr..
I. DahlmaD AN enterprising citizen Of Fort
Worth, has recently been in London En-
gland, and negotiated with large London
syndicate for the opening and operating
of the works. A committee OF two English
capitalists came home with Mr.. Dahlman,
and after thorough examination of the
works and the source of the supply Of
beef to be used, they returned to En-
gland about the LIST OF the current month.
1t Is understood that the committee will
report favorably and IL this be true the
works will be put in immediate opera
ton.
The opening of this enterprise will be
vastly bene fetal to the city as 1t will
create beef market that will be unequaled
south of st. Louis or Kansas City
and many other industries will grow out
OF 1t. If the works are opened they will
be run at full capacity and most Of the
refrigerated beef shipped from Galveston
direct TO London and placed upon that
market. II needs no elaborate article to
show how this enterprise would help the
city, and those in position TO know are
sanguine that 1t is auassured fact.

TERRITORY
Tributary To and Covered BY the
Wholesale Trade OF
Fort Worth.
Statement OF the Population in 1870 and
1880 and Assessed Valuation In
1880 and 1884.

The country that lies tributary TO Fort
Worth covers vast area, and the follow
ing table VIII show how rapidly It's popu-
lation and assessable values are increas-
ing. line drawn from Gainesville,
touching Ellis county, to Taylor, in
williamson county, viii pass through the
counties which are on the eastern border
OF the territory which is tributary to the
city of Fort Worth, and all tho country
west of this line, TO the western bor-
ders OF Texas, is embraced within
the area covered by Fort Worth's whole
sale merchants. good deal of trade is
carried on in other portions Of the state,
goods being shipped from the city to the
extreme eastern limits Of the state, but
the aforementioned territory properly
belongs to the competition OF Fort Worth,
where its merchants have an equal foot
ing with the firms of other Texas cities.
The table shows the population of this
country in 1870 and 1880, as appears from
the census reports, and the valuation of
property in the various counties, as
shown by the state compiroller's reports
for the years 1880 and 1884. They show
a wonderful growth and increase, and
tell more forcibly than words can ex-
press how rapidly the state is developing.

POsrOFPICI STATISTICS.

Some Figures Showing the CROWN OF the
Postal business IN This City since 1870
The postal service was established in
Fort Worth in 1854, with Capt. Julian
Field, the present incumbent, as post
master. Few letters came 10 the city
and the duties OF the office were attended
70 by Mr.. Field alone. The varied duties
of the office now require the constant
work OF the postmaster, his assistant,
SIX clerks and seven carriers. Capt.
Field retired from the position after hold
ing II several years, and assumed II
again under the administration Of Presi-
dent Cleveland. Ia the year 1876 the
ofllcs was moved from small shanty
near the square TO the corner OF Main
and Third streets. This excited the In
dlauation Of the citizens Of the little ham
lei on The blnn, and the Democrat, the
VILLAGE paper, demarred In an editorial
which anarily declared that the postoiiice

In addition to the counties mentioned

In addition to the counties mentioned
in the table are many that we're morgan
lied when the last census was taken
which might have been enumerated in
the table, as many Of them in the past
two or three years have been rapidly fill
ing up by emigration. Lamb, Hall,
Floyd, Motley, Cottle, Hardeman, Cock
ran, Hockey, Lubbock, Crosby, Dickens,
King, Knox, Garza, Lynn, Terry, Yoakum;
Gaines, Dawson, Borden, Andrews, Mar
tin, Howsrd, Midland and Reeves coun-
ties lie within this territory west of and
tributary to Fort Worth, and many of
these counties are rapidly becoming pop
ulous and wealthy, and which will event
ually be great feeders to the great city
that win stand nearest to them on the
east.
The wholesale trade of Fort Worth has
bright outlook, and with the tide of
emigration flowing westward it's volume
will constantly multiply and increase.

An era Of hotel Improvement is on the
city. The Ellis hotel, now nearly COM
pleted on the corner of Third and Throck-
morton streets, Is an imposing stone
structure, with more than one hundred
rooms for guests.
The PlckWick hotel, corner OF Main
and Fourth streets, Is being enlarged ut
a cost Of over $4,000, and when the i'm
proyements are finished the hotel Will be

about one hundred rooms, and 10 adj
dition to these there are many smaller

wick aud others not necessary to be
enumerated 10 show that ample accommo-
dations for travellers can be obtained Ia
the city.
Col. j II. Britton, the late teinspector
OF railroads Ia Texas, IS credited with
saying that simore people get on ana Of
the cars Ia Fort Worth than In all the
other large cities 10 the state combined F"
whether tins be literally true or not, the
city has until recently been wanting 10
sufficient hotel accommodations, not
withstanding the numerous hotels that
hsye been thrown open 70 the public. II
Is thought that the new Ellis hotsl and
the enlarged PickwicE will be sufficient,
with the Mansion aud others, 70 supply
the demand for the next year.
To give some idea OF the number OF
hotel arrivals IN the city, the following
figures haye been obtainedi which show
