FENCED-UP TOWNS.

1t is a mistake to think Of these pas
lures as uninhabited places. Good grow
ing towns are fenced up in them, aud vet
completely out of sight of the bounding
fences Archer City is an illustrat ion, as
is also Plainview. 1t is not every country
in which you can find pasture with sew
eral growing towns i'll it, but this is one
of them
However, there is no denying the fact
that the big pastures are a wonderful
drawback to the immediate development
of Western Texas When a really good
town is started here il is generally in this
wise: An extensive land owner decides to
throw his pasture open. He surveys it of
and sells it in small bodies for farms In
the center of what was formerly his pas
tdre he lays of town. If luck favors, it
grows. 1t may be well to add that. under
these circumstances, luck generally IA
VOrs In this way the farming land is
gradually encroaching on the pasture
lands. Every year the farmer drives
the cowboy a little farther west
Strange to relate, change of
pace with the change of occupations
The rainfall seems to increase toward the
westward every year Good crops are
now raised where twenty years ago no
rain fell at all This statement is a
strange one, but IL is authorized by the
experience of residents here. Any body
may account for it who can Another
noticeable phenomena is that, whenever a
new pasture is thrown on tie market and
turned into farming land, a temporary
period Of sickliness follows in the imme-
date locality. It is supposed that the
large amount of fresh sod turned over and
left TO rot, breeds malaria and thus oc-
CasiOns the sickness. VIII the area Of
rainfall ever increase until the whole
Panhandle becomes an agricultural cOun-
try! No one can tell. 1t is safe to pre-
dict, though, that it viii be many, many
years, at any rate, before the last of the
big pastures is opened up for cultivation.

slons occasion prOpOrtionately long fences.
Fences thirty miles long are common
affairs, fences 100 miles long are not IN
usual, while there are a few fences be-
tween 200 and 300 miles long. The long
est is known as the Colorado drift line,
and IS over 80 miles long. OF course. all
fences are of wire. Five is the usual
number Of wires used. The Texas law re-
quireS gates to be put in at intervals of
not more than three miles. If it were not
for this fact overland travel through
Western Texas would be out of the ques-
ton. Fence-cutting is a felony under the
same law. From reading this law one
would infer that the fence question bad
been quite a troublesome one at some
period Of Texas history, and he would be
correct in his inference. The requirements
as TO gates is not burdcnsOme one, as
the regulatiaE Texas gate is by no means
an elaborate affair. II generally consists
OF about five wires fastened at one end
to fence post and at the other to
stick about five feet long. The gate is
closed by inserting the ends of the stick
IN two loops of wire. one fastened at the
top and the other at the bottom of the
next fence post. A man might fence his
land with gates exclusively, if he chose.
at very little additional expense. In the
Indian Territory, where there is no law
bearing on the subject at all, gates are
put IN about as regularly as they are here.
There IS fence ninety-three miles long
on the line between the Comanche and
Chickasaw nations. Gates are put in.

Railroad Built on Ice,

A Chicago exchange says the COM
munication between the two shores
of the st. Lawrence river at Montreal
is made by means of the Victoria tub
ular bridge, constructed five years
ago, which is the longest in the world,
the metallic span being 9200 feet
long. From this point to the Allan
tic, for distance of 100 miles, there
is no other bridge and all the rail-
roads established on both sides of the
st Lawrence have necessarily to cross
it. The company of the Grand Trunk
railroad which built it, levies right
of way toll of $40 per car and 8 cents
per passenger. To. avoid payments
of these moneys the S. E. railroad
company had the idea some ten years
ago, of constructing in winter a COM
munication between the two shores
by means of railroad established on
the ice. Every winter the work is
done over again, and it amply pays
for the outlay. The length Of this
ice road is about two miles between
Hochelaga and Longueil. The road
way is easily built. The track leaves
the main track parallel to the shore,
then curves gradually in such a man
ner as to be perpendicular to it, and
then again before it strikes the other
shore it curves anew so as to come
nearly parallel to the opposite side,
and then it is connected with the main
track on this shore.

WASHINGTON. May 18.-An authentic state
mont has been obtained as to the interview
between Secretary Gresham and the Chinese
Minister at the State Department on Wednes-
day last. Nothing whatever was said by the
Minister concerning any possibility that the
Chinese Legation in Washington would be
withdrawn as a result of the enforcement Of
the law. and it can be said. on this authority
OF secretary Gresham. that he has not received
an intimation from any source that any such
proceedlne is contemplated; The Chinese
believed that tho Chinese Government would
not resort to any, retaliatory measures. and
that nothing would be dOns by his Govern
ment that would disturb the present friendly
relations between the United States and
China. rho Minister was OF tho opinion that
no trouble would result from the law. The In.
terview was pleasant throughout and lasted
about twenty minutes.
