Of the population.
In view OF the abandonment OF Fort,
Elliott and Gibson and the Little Rock
barracks. Gen. Merritt says it is i'm
portant that post for at least ten COM
panies should be established near St.
Louis. The reservation at Jefferson
barracks naturally suggests itself as tbs
proper location for such post.
The recent anticipated troubles IN the
Chickasaw country illustrated the necps-
sity for having troops for use in the
Indian Territory ut some such point f.,
this. Gen. Merritt also recommends
that additional accommodations at Fort
Re no be provided for two troops OF cav
airy. The garrison at Fort Sill should
be reduced as soon "a possible, but this
is not now practicable with the limited
barracks and quarters in the depart
ment. Attention is also invited
10 the necessity of completing
Fort Logan as originally designed for
the accommodation of four troops OF
cavalry in dillon TO the present gar
rison. Until this is done it will not Ia
wise TO abandon Fort Lewis, although
there ere good reasons why the trooDs
there should be removed as soon IS pos
siblr.
II is recommended that department
target range be established at Jefferson
barracks, and that the range at Fort
Leaveuworth he turned over to the post.
Gen. Merritt says that the universal
condemnation of the present cavalry
bride bit by cavalry officers, deserves a.
tention of the department.
There has been decrease in the nun.
er of deserters and, says Gen. Merit,
everything leads to the hope that in the
coming combat this year by congress.
that the war department will In another
year mitigate II they do not wholly re-
move crime which has been a serious
matter to the army and the country.

is to include an inquiry into the extent,
area and depth Of the water-bearing
strata Of this region, the amount of the
artesiau water supply, ana the best man
ner of obtaining and utilizing it for pur-
poses Of irrigation In the various local.
tiles in which It may be had.
Professor R. T. Hill. until lately con-
uected with the geologist department OF
Texas, has been commissioned to con-
duct the investigation OF artesian water
supply in Texas, New Mexico, and the
Indian Territory. No better appoint
ment for that region could have been
made. Professor Hill has gained his
spurs in geological research, by adding
an impor tsnt chapter on the history and
character of the cretacious formation in
Texas, to the geological records of the
country. On that and kindred matters
he Is well known authority. He has
also given good deal of attention to the
subject of the artesian water sup
ply in Texas, and as far as
his investigations have gone, Is able TO
say where and at what depth water can
be found. Under his commission from
the government he will, of course, de-
vote his entire time and abilities to the
fullest investigation of d question of the
greatest Importance to the future OF this
state.
A great deal depends in this state on
reliable supply of water both for irriga-
ton and for domestic purposes. The
problem is practically solved in belt
reaching across the state from north 10
south and including Fort Worth, Dali
las, Waco, Austin, Houston and Calves
ton. In the three first named cities ar
tesian water has been found in the great
est abundance, and will, as Professor
Hill says, be found in equal abundance
at all intermediate points throughout the
belt, it being ascertained that through
out that region at least there is an enor-
nous underiow of artesian water at
uniform depth. What may he the
lateral extension on either side of this
area of undertlow is a matter for inves-
tIgation, and will be determined proba-
bly, by the research now on foot.
Its importance to West Texas and the
Panhandle will be duly appreciated in
those sections of the state So rich in
farming lands, that with reliable
i.,
and "a productive as the far-famed val
ley of the Nile, which owes its fertility
to Irrigation.

NEW FRENCH TARIFF.
The French Papers Urge that Mutual Conces.
sions be Made by France and the
United States.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-The new French tariff
bill which Is now before the chamber of
deputies contains one striking feature
which has heretofore escaped much
notice. This Is q clause which gives TO
the president and the cabinet full! power
to retalate to as great an extent as they
choose upon articles exported to France
BY any country which discriminates
against French products, or in any way
erects barriers against French trade.
This clause is obviously modelled to
meet the American meat inspection bill,
aud il intended rs the French answer to
that measure. The general tone OF the
French press continues hostile to the
adoption of retaliatory measures against
the United States because of the latter
country's tariff legislation. Instead of
speaking in favor of retalia-
ton the papers urge that mu-
tual concessions be made by France
and the United States. 1hey seem to
imagine that if the French government
makes considerable concessions 1t may
gain a reduction of the American duties
on silks and wooden goods.

Dirt Roads.
Gonzales Enquirer.

In two more weeks the election will be
| over, and two important questions be-
fore the people will be either accepted or
rejected by the people-the railroad
commission amendment and the COM
mon road amendment. The commission
amendment has been thoroughly dis
cussed and met with TIE approval of q
majority of the voters of the state, but
the fate of the common road question Is
a matter of conjecture, and grave doubts
can be entertained OF its adoption, which
is the result of prejudice on the part of a
great mass Of people against any laws
that carry with them taxation for their
operation. Already overburdeued with
taxation, 1t is not strangs they fight any
movement that has any further levy an
object, but the law is not fully under
stood. Passing the amendment does not
adopt the law for every county or any
section, but 1t simply places IL within
the power of any country or section in
the state to adopt the provisions of the
amendment and secure good roads
by taxation. The law is local option in
its nature, and before il can be adopted
every citizen will have the privilege of
voting upon It. A more just provision
was never submitted to the people, to
say nothing Of the importance and the
necessity for such provision, and it is
of more Importance to the agricultural
sections than any measure that has ever
been before the people. Bill Arp. who
is not only known for his funny sayings,
hut also his sledge- hammer logic, says in
speaking of the discomfort arising from
farm life:
"a bad road is the nursery of profau-
ity. There is no more pitiful spectacle
than a heavily loaded wagon broken
down IN a mud-hole ten or twenty miles
from home and cold winter rain mean
der.ng around. The wagon has to be
unloaded, the broken wheel taken off the
spindle. Somehow or other the old man
gets 1t 10 a blacksmith shop somewhere,
while the boy snivers for half day by
the campfire. They travel in wet clothes
and mud and get back home sometime
in the night, and would swear off from
farm life If they could. or course they
would. Such thugs take away the
farmer boys spirit and he longs for a
brakeman 8 place on the railroad, where
he can ride high aud dry at twenty miles
an hour, and take the chances OF break
ing his neck
In justice to our fellow man we should
vote for the amendment. If one man
does not desire good roads that Is his
privilege, but he shall not seek TO hamper
other men aud other sections. IL Con-
zales does not desire to improve her
roads, il is the privilege Of her people to
say so, but she should not seek to place
the shackles on another county in the
northern, western or eastern portion of
the state. This amendment was framed
to act in Justice to all, to leave IL OPS.

or reject its provisions. The Inquirer

The South Invites Invasion.

Within the past few years Northern

Southern sentiment, the stronghold of
the irreconcia5les. sees the light of the
new day and is ready to welcome the
Yankee who brings industry, ingenuity,
enterprise, and last but not least, au

1t is q healthful sign. Let Northern

Yankee, after all, deserves confidence

The Stockyards Packery.

Mr.. Hoxie, proprietor of the Fort
Worth stocky ards, is calling upon the
people to begin raising hogs TO supply
the packery. No one has any idea of
the magnitude Of this enterprise unless
they could he on the grounds. An engine
of $50 horse power of the very best make
has been placed in position, and by
means of shaftiug all the different de-
partments, covering twenty acres. are
run 10y 1t. An ice plant with a capacity
OF 100 tons per day has been attached,
with yards and sheds covering twenty
acres OF ground. The buildings are of
the most substantial masony, with a
hotel on the summit overlooking the
grounds, in which there is u National
bank. Mr.. Hoxie said he had spent
nearly 81 900, 900 for which he never ex-
pected to receive any direct benefits, but
that il would be great boon for Texas.

THE QUESTION OF ARTESTAN va
TER SUPPLY IN TEXAS.


1t will be remembered that during the
last session of congress, there was
lively contention between that body and
Maj. Powell, head of the United States
geological survey, relative to the scope
and extent, IS well as the amount of
money that should be expended, in the
Investigation and development of the
question of irrigation and water supply
Powell proposed q most elaborate scheme
that called for the expenditure of vast
sums of money, and asked for an ap-
preparation OF 500 900 with which to be-
gin work. Congress, he knew was in
the giving mood, and thought no doubt,
that as the surplus was to 20, II may as
we'll be spent-a goodly portion OF 1t at
lesst-in finding water wherewith TO re-
claim and restore TO agricultural use
millions of acres in the great American
desert, now a barren waste. But the
salons too ird. His demand, like that
of Texas for deep water, was considered
too high. There were other demands OF
greater political value that had to be at
tended to. and the question of great
reservoirs and storage basins at or near
the headwaters of rivers originating In
the Rocky mountains, must wait. The
project was a grand one that embraced
enormous possibilities of good, but was
perhaps. q little premature.
However, congress did appropriate
q sum OF money in September, slo0, 900
in all. to be expended in the inves,iga-
ton of the artesian water'supply In the
region between the 97th deg. Of lon
gitude and the eastern slope of the Rocky
mountains. The investigation which
will be conducted by corps of trained
and experienced biologists under de
rection of the agricultural department,
