celpts n shipments OF grain were
shown to be so, 900 bushels. coase-
quently, the result of this years
transactions shows that we have
more than doubled the producing
wealth of the section rei-ing on this
market, for the year 1885. 1t must
be borne in mind, in this connec-
ton, that not more than half the
grain produced, in the section rom
tignous to this market, has been
marketed and you have at least a
crop in 1885 not less than three
times as large as that Of 1884.
In the matter of receipts the fol-
lowing table, which. like the other,
is official, will show an even preater
increase in 1888 over those of 1894:

have 2 .o55. 600 feet received. There

evident that 1.s55.ooo feet Of Inn

there was received and disnursca al
this place 955. 500 feet--as increase
in 1885 over 1884 of, in round num-
bers, nearly NINE HUNDRED
THOUSAND FEET. As an evil
dence of substantial progress thi. is
not only highly satisfactory. but
decidedly encouraging for the fus
ture of this city aud the surround
ing country.
This concludes our rcsume for
1885, of the improvements and 9th.
or matters going to MAKE MP the
sum total of our progress-the in
crease in our practical wealth and
producing power. That it seems
incredible all will agree, but the
facts presented are matters of record
and unquestionably true-thc part
referring TO our increase CT yalu-
alton and population being takes
from the records. and the grain re-
ccipts and shipments and freight
RI ceipts were furnished by our ac-
commodating station agent, Mr.. II.
o. Frank, while in the record Of the
buildings all can decide to their
correctness for themselves. We
have tried to deal strictly in facts,
feeling that in presenting the above
matters truth would be Stranger

During this year it is anticipated
that al even better showing will be
made, both Ia the city and sarroan-
ding country. In the year Just en-
ded, every moment that could be
spared from the other duties of the
farm, has been employed in break
ing up the sod; and with better IA
c~ilitics for the work in teams and
plows than in previous wears, we
feel safe in asserting that the labor
thus employed has more than dcub-
led our grain producing capacity for
the year 1886. OF course with in
creased production will come the
