MIDDLErowS, Feb. l2.-The roads are
blocked completely on account of the
drifting snow, and it will be days and per-
haps weeks before they are fully opened
for travel. The State road from Whining
ton TO Dover is filled even to the hedge
tops with snow and, except in few places
no effort has been made to use them.
English sparrows have died by the hun
dreds US result of the cold weather. and
il is feared that rabbits and what few par
tridges there were in the neighborhood
have Jared a similar fate. Many persons
have frost-bitten noses, but no fatalities
have been reported. Live stock has suf-
fered greatly from the cold and exposure,
Every one admits that the blizzard Of 1883
was not equal to the one of the past week.
The first papers 10 reach here on time
since last Thursday we're the EVERY EVEN

GAVE A GREAT SHOW.
Los Angeles Opinion Of the Great
Syndicate Circus.

The Los Angeles Times, of Sep
TENDER 18th, criticizes as follows
the new Great Syndicate Shows and
Paris Hippodrome, which exhibits
at San Antonio tomorrow after
noon and evening:
The Great Syndicate shows and
Paris Hippodrome arrived in the
city early yesterday morning, and
in the afternoon and evening oc-
Cured the first two performances.
The reputation of the manage
ment, together with the oceans Of
billboard and other advertising,

The tent has a seating capacity of
1000, and yet the acres of canvas
could not contain all the people.

their luck again today.

and she and her trainer, James

The beautiful yet Notwithstanding
tlgress took her treatment kindly,
however, and did her little turn
with marked gracefulness. The
Martell family of trick bicyclists,
which consists of Edward Martell,
his wife and two daughters, are
certainly the most wonderful per-
formers in their line that have ever
visited this city. Their seemingly
impossible tricks on the bicycle
and on their one wheel machines
were accomplished with ease and
skill. Francis Read, the youth
who turns back somersaults on a
galloping horse, ridden bareback,
elected considerable well-merited
applause. This lad is one of the
youngest bareback riders in the

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Written for the LIGHT
The irrigation canal now being
dug from the San Antonio to the
Medina river, will be of very great
benefit to Bexar county. 1t is 9
move in the right direction, and
should be followed by similar un'
dertakings in the other counties Of
Southwest Texas.
The people owning land along
the line Of this irrigation canal
should give the enterprise every
possible encouragement. They
should not throw a solitary OBJ
stacle in the way of its speedy
completion, but cheerfully donate
right of way across their lands
and bid it God speed.
Every citizen should possess and
exhibit iberality and public spirit,
when his county and state are to
be largely benefited.
Was every acre Of land in Bexar
irrigable, our county would be a
blooming garden and the richest
county in Texas.
The company engaged in cutting
this irrigation canal in South Bexar
will have to supply water to coter-
minous land owners at prices to be
fixed by the state. So 1t is a pub
lie corporation and will be a .bene-
fit to the public.
Let US suppose the cutting of
this canal will be the means of irri-
eating 10000 acres Of land, which
will mean that these 10000 acres
will yield larger crop than can be
harvested from 10000 acres Of non-
irrigable lands.
1t is greatly to be deplored that
the irrigation company should
be, forced to institute legal
proceeding in order to OBJ.
tain the right OF way over lands.
These very land owners, who now
impede the cutting OF the canal,
would obtain water from it for the
irrigation OF their lands. Their
lands would be quadrupled in pro-
ductiveness and value by irriga.
ton, yet few land owners act in
such hostile spirit as would in
dictate they look upon irrigation as
curse and not blessing.
The LIGHT, which always es-
pouses all enterprises and under
takings calculated to benefit the
public, should extend hearty en-
couragemet to our Bexar irrigation
company, whose stockholders are
citizens OF Bexar, and whose irri-
CATION scheme will bestow the
blessing OF irrigation on large
body Of Bexar lands.
Irrigation means thas South
west Texas will become the
garden spot Of America.

together with the drove of Shet-
