blanks to all assessors in the state and
at the same time calls attention to the
requirements of the law in regard to
com pleteness of the work of enumer-

statistical information in regard to
agriculture, horticulture, ETC., etc.
The statutes impose a heavy penalty
for failure to properly do such work
and the secretary urges assessors to OBJ

and mining industries fully; among
others the dairy interests have
been too much overlooked heretofore,

should be carefully looked after. All
these statistics are for the benefit of

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-According to the
Railway Age for December 81, railway
building in the United States reached
this year lower point than in any of
the last 20 years, and in only two years
since 1865 has so small a mileage been
built. The records for 1895 show only
LISP miles of track laid. in the eight
years since that time the decrease in
construction has been great and contin-
uous, and this year the total built was
only about 100 miles more than in the
year $3.50 years ago. The greatest
amount of track laid was in Texas,
where 224 miles were put down. In Is
states no increases whatever were
made. The railways of the United
States on December 81 will aggregate
