DEMOCRATIC COLoRED VOTERS. There

The coloIed voters Of the North and

observing than those of the South. They
have had amDler opportunities for learn

There Is Millions in 1t.

An immense scheme is on foot in the
western part of Texas which cOntemplates
the irrigation of the great length of the
Rio Grande valley by means of an extern
sive and costly ditch, which will run
through the made lands nearly parallel
with the river, and wet the soil between
Eagle Pass and the foot hills back of it,.
The preliminary survey, while 1t developed
the fact that the fall of the RIO Grande
was not so great as had been expected,
proved also the entire feasibility of the
project. The civil engineer of the work
states that there is no doubt whatever
that the ditch will be built this summer
and the land thrown open 10
farmers in time for next springs
crop. The valley, which will be
placed Hnder irrigation by the
completion of this scheme, is
one of the most beautiful in the world. 1t
stretches from the foothills to the river, a
distance of over mile in width, and has a
gentle slope sufficient to run the water
from the "mother ditch" over the land
1t is about fifteen miles long, with only
one or two small creeks running across it,
The soil is rich loan, very deep, and tn
brush and timber on 1t Is thin. Ihe worst
grubbing to do would be among the mes
quite roots, which always run deep. All
along this valley, on the banks of the
river, and in some cases right in
view, are fine farms which rely solely on
the season, and invariably make good
crops. These lands are low, and in dry
years absorb moisture from the stream. All
vines, such as sweet potato, squash, cucum
Der and melons, grow on these 'yegas,"
as they are called by the Mexicans, IN
most luxuriant abundance. Corn, oats
and barley are also sure crops on these
lands. They are at present worked by
Mexicans on shares. The men who have
put money into the enterprise believe
that when the ditch is completed the
Maverick county vega" will prove
to be the richest farming land in the
south.

striking, nor will it be understood
by the public without explanation. 1t is
perfectly plain, however, when the condi-
tions are given, that the above results
were Inevitable. The school lands alter
mating with other lands as they do, were
leased largely by the owners of said alter
mates. When the present law was passed,
the school lands, to great extent, were
occupied by established ranches, whose
owners leased promptly. Most of these
lands were also in reach of population,
and, to a great extent, were sufficiently
watered for immediate and profitable use
for stock purposes. With the University
lands the conditions are entirely different.
They are located in large bodies, and in
PEELED TO pay for the whole area appro-
priated TO his use, instead of the half, as
Is the case with school lands.
The University lands are devoid of per-
manent water, and too distant from water
to be utilized. They are also, for the
most part, remote from population and
uuoccupied. The school lands Offering
superior inducements and attractions,
and being more than sufficient to supply
all pres ent demands to lease, it is readily
perceived that the University must suffer
from this competition until present con-
ditions are changed. One or two plans
must be adopted: either the rental of the
University lands must be reduced and the
term of the lease extended sufficiently to
induce parties to develop water, or else
the state must provide the water Mt cessaIy
to make these lands profitable and avail
able at the present price. The former
plan is preferable, and, 1 think, entirely
practicable, but unfortunately no author
ity exists under present laws for such
action. In the regular report from this
department, on August l, 1888, to the gov
ernor, attention will be called to this sub
ject, and the proper recommendations
made, in the hope of securing the neces-
,sary legislation.
Your obedient servant,
R. M. HALL, Commissioner.

CHICAGO STOCK MARKET.
Stockmen Warned Of a Delusion
and O Snare.

anu OuuEt'
A late stock circular for Chicago says:
"There has been, SO far, heavy move
ment of Texas cattle to market, mostly
from the state of Texas and Indian Terri
tory. Some of them have been very good
and have brought remunerative prices
Too large a percentage of them have
Been thin and of poor quality, and such
always have and always will bring poor
prices.
'If we are to believe reports which have
been widely published, that half a million
would be shipped the forepalt of the sea-
son from Indian Territory and the Pan
handle, the strength of the market has yet
to undergo heavy test. Should the
movement from the southwest prove to
fall considerably short of these figures, as
we think it will, the northern ard We tern
cattlemen can hope for good prices for
their cattle.
"Prices for prime cornfed cattle are
now from 81 to $1.25 per 100 pounds
higher than year ago, and prospects
seem much more encouraging for such
ranchmen as have improved their herds
and can ship cattle of good quality, well
fatted."
Shippers of stock are referred to the
following, which is worthy of their at
tention:
"a Delusion and Snare-The demand
of shippers of stock for improved stock
cars is so strong that there Is no railway
that is not now seeking to make arrange
ments to cater to that demand Some of
them have adopted the Street stable cars,
which seem to be the best of all, and some
have adopted other patent cars of more
or less merit. There are some railway
companies, however, that seem TO think
that stockmen are not intelligent enough
TO know what they want, and these com
panies propose to take their old cars, and
by putting in alleged appliances or at
taohments,' to give them the appearance
of being what they are not, hoping to be
able to deceive shippers with the idea that
they are just as good as the Street cars.
OF course the object is to save the mile
age which the patent car companies
charge. Alleged tests will be made for
short distances, and when at last lucky
run is made the companies will announce
what they intended to all the time, that
they are satisfied their car is the best one
yet invented. Stockmen are not fools,
and those who spend their money in fill
ing up their old style narrow cars with
racks and troughs will have their labor
for their pains"

A FISH STORY.
Three "Yaller" Cats Hooked at
the Same Time.

Joe Costa, one of the tax figure clerks
in the comptroller's Office, returned from
fishing frolic the other day. He had
splendid luck, and says he caught three
twenty-pound cats at one time one a
single line with but one hook.
He was quietly fishing for trout when
he felt quick, sharp pull, indicating that
handsome speck!ed fellow was fast. BE
began to pull him in when he felt terrific
pull at his line, and moment after there
was another, and he was almost jerked
into the water. The pull on his line was
very great, but it was a strong one, and
he began to carefully draw it in.
Suddenly there was another powerful
lunge at his line, which jerked him
SPRAYING to the ground, but he held on
and managed to get half hitch on a
stump, which fortunately was close by.
There was wild commotion in the water
which Jos says he could not explain, so he
kept the line around the stump until il
subsidized.
He then drew it carefully ashore, and
found that he had three cats weighing
each about twenty pounds.
They were strung along on the line
uhlOuSh Oil0 uOuIh huu Ills JuSb dS YOU
would string your catch, and, at the end
of the line attached to the hook, was a
lively trout weighing nearly pound.
Joe says that when the trout was first
hooked three cats must have observed
him and determined to make a meal of
him, but they signally failed. He had no
idea of being taken into their capacious
lnaws.
He was fast to the line and could not
escape, so he watched his opportunity,
and, when one of the cats would close
down his great jaws upon him, he would
dart through his gills.
He did the other two the same way, and
successfully strung all three of the yellow
cannibals on Joe's line.
Joe says he awarded the pluck and skill
of the little trout, who was not injured,
by returning him TO the river.
"How did that trout get ont, through
the giIls?" meekly inquired an incred-
u,ous clerk in the crowd.
"Gent!emen, none of you know any
thing about cat fish. When he closes
his mouth and breathes his gills open
and then it was the trout slid out.
Perhaps, some of you know more about
this story than l d." and Joe buried
himself in his tax papers.
