RAN OLD MISSOURI.

The development of Missouri's i'm
mense and the ascertainnenI
of its real condition, both as an agri
cultural and as u mineral-bearing state,
will shortly receive wonderful impetus
from the legislation enacted by tie
thirty-fifth general assembly. The
bareau of geology and mineralogy,
recently established, will in a few
months begin the great work devolv.
ing npon it. 1t will have the employ
nent OF a stale geologist at a salary o.

make public his discoveries as rapidly
as made and to publish maps for tn,
use and benefit of the people. lie will
have a corps OF competent assist
anita, chemists, palaontologists,
skilled laborers and others quail
fled to aid in completing the
geological survey of the state.
The bureau-of which Gov. Francis i,
ex-officio president has a great WORK
before il, and ere another year there
should be a promise of magnificent
results. The recent developments oil

of Missouri, in quantity sufficient to at

sourian AID give him a pulsating inter-

which will be to the glory and growth
OF Missouri. Mr.. Meriwether has ex-
tended his field of statistical gathering
to The harvest fields, and the broad

The board Of railroad commissioners,
which has just had its usefulness
enlarged to that of warehouse COM
nissioners, will loon enter upon active
efforts in the way of governing and
controlling the product OF cereals IN
such manner as must give renewed
courage and greatly increased profits
to the toiling farmers.
The state board of equalization
has just increased the assessment Of
railroad, bridge and telegraph prop
erty "a, 800 900 ove the valuation Of

be derived from those who are mos,
