That Board OF Trade Again

From the Kansas City Journal.
Mrs. Cora L, Bartlett, OF Santa Fe,
N. M, has the credit of bringing the
plaza of that ancient capital from the
eighteenth up to the nineteenth century
standard in the course Of q few years
Mrs. Bartlett was lady manager Of the
New Mexico worlds fair commission,
and when the successful work of that
undertaking was over she looked about
for more work to do. She found it
near at home. Under her lead, the
ladies OF Santa Fe organized a woman's
board of trade, and devoted themselves
to woman's natural work-that of
house cleaning. Aside from beautiiy-
ing the plaza, they have founded a
small public library, conducted a
woman's exchange, looked after waits
and sent truants to school. Mrs. Bart
lett is no longer president of the board
of trade, but the good work goes on.

SAN MIGUEL COUNTY.
THa Dod NUISANCE.

For q long time, everyone has noticed
the number OF worthless ours about town
Las Vegas Is cver-run with the dogs. Some
marvel as to where they come from. The
solution is simple. Nearly every wagon
that comes to town, has its quota. There
n scarcely a w~ood-wagon that has not two
or three dogs following 1t. The dogs leave
the wagon to enter some yard In search Of
scraps, among the ash barrels or rubbish
pile. The wagon moves on, and when the
dogs have finished eating, they commence
to look for the wagon. They have not the
Instinct of spaniels, or other well bred
dogs, to find their way home, so they run
back and forth, bewildered, In their vain
attempts to find the wagon, until they be-
come weary, and then they domiclle
themselves in some place., where they
are a constant menace to those
who approach. A policeman should then
be informed to extermlnate the CANNES.
The city ought to take hold of the matter
nd pass an ordinance providing that al
stray dogs shall be shot. This would dis
courage the bringing of dogs to town. If
the Spanish papers would make some no
tice of this, it might be stopped. OF course.
the dogs are not mad, but they are bewild-
cred and irritable and reports are at band
of several instances where people have
been set upon by them. :,
Mrs. Heinemau, upon going into a shed
upon her premises, the otner evening",
accidentally stepped upon one OF these be-
lated CANNES and she was severely bitten.

SIBERIA'S WHEAT.
President Is Said to Have Sent Two
Experts Abroad to Investigate 1t.


NEW YORK, July "a dispatch
from Washington to local paper says:
THE secretary Of the department of
agriculture has sent a special secret
commission abroad to Investigate the
possibility Of Siberia becoming the
great wheat producing country of the
world. The administration fears that
before the presidential election comes
around Siberia may have entered the
lists as the greatest competitor this
country will have fer the marketing
of it's wheat and farm products. Should
this prove the case the Dingley tariff
will not be able to make the Republican
party's promises good to the farmer
so serious does this problem seem
to the president and his advisers that
the question of sending a commission
abroad met with no opposition when
preached at cabinet meeting some
weeks ago. 1t was pointed out that
the great line Of railroad that the Rus
sian government is building through
Siberia will be opened through its
tire length by the year 1900 One ter
mlnal will open near the Chinese coast,
and the wheat which is grown in ST.
IBERIA can easily be shipped, not only
throughout China, but can be exported
! into Japan, and this country has now
quite trade in breadstuffs with these
lands From it's western terminal

many, and even Great Britain at
much less cost than wheat from the
United States. If this should happen.
down goes the price of wheat
THE commission is composed of two
Of the experts of the department, and
they are in Russia at this time. Their
orders are to spy out the country and
it's possibilities.
''The commission is also to invest-
gate the cotton crops that are now
being grown in the transcaspian terri
tory. The completion of two lines of
railroads along the base of the Cauca-
sus mountains has opened up that co.,
ton growing country, and it bids fair
to rival the South in many of the
coarser grades of cotton. The COM
mission is to remain away as long as
it is considered necessary, but it's re-
port will be anXiously awaited"

SCALPING C. e. TICKETS.
Conductors Blamed for Making the
Naturalization E,Ossihta-E -.


Although there are sstiIl one, OF two more
organized parties of Christian EndeaYor pea-
pie to reach here between, now and tomor-
row, nigh. the second section of the New
York delegation, which numbers s150r people
and which is expected to reach here durna
the morning, in charge of V. v. Beard. will
practically bring up the rear of the big
movement from San Francisco to the va
rious portions of the East. The train will
consist of six sleepers, and will be taken
East this evening. -..
From advices received in St. Paul yester-
day, 1t is evident that some scalping has been
done by manipulation of tickets from Port
land to St. Paul, in spite of the constant
vigilance of the railroad people. 1t is ex-
plained that this scalping has been made
possible by the failure on the part of con-
ductors to punch the continuous passage
feature of the ticket east Of the point where
no stop-over privileges are allowed and ma
turally the northern lines are the ones which
will be the sufferers. This omission has not
only permitted a scalp between the two cities
named, but has served to stock the St. Paul
market with these return portions, which
are good until Aug. Is. 1t is intimated that
the disturbance may even threaten the rates
between Portland and st. Paul.

tana, so as to be prepared for the movement
stock cars must be taken west as ''empties I"
as they cannot be used for carrying mer-
chandse. owing to the fact that they are
open A number of cars have also been sent
to Western Montana and Washington to be
loaded with sheep and shipped East again.
1.-THE cattle shipments will be about the
same as last year.. said General Freight
Agent Moore yesterday" and last year was
something like 20 per cent behind 1895. and
I scarcely look for much increase"
at apepars that the falling off is not owing
to lack Of food, or poor range pasture. For
the past five or six years the Montana stock
men have been depending on Texas for their
young cattle. Corn is now so cheap in Kan
sas Missouri and Iowa that the Texas cattle
are being brought up to feed in those states
and the Northern ranchmen are unable to
pick up enough young cattle to stock their
ranges without paying too high a price for
them The news has come here that Pierre
Wibaux, the cattle king. who has an enor-
nous ranch at a place in Montana named
after him, is making an experiment this
year which the stockmen are watching with
considerable interest lowing to the scarcity
of young stock in Montana for variety of
reasons. he has brought from other states
quantity of stock for breeding, and will at
tempt to meet the next years market which
it Is expected will be strong one with a
goodly supply Of youngsters.
The Northern Pacific has gone as far es To
make a tariff for the benefit of those stock
men who wish to ship their stock to the corn
country mentioned for the purpose of fatten-
ing.
Advices received at the Omaha freight de-
partment from their stockmen in the West
are to the effect that quite large quantity
of stock Is being taken to the corn country
in Kansas Nebraska and Iowa to fatten and
that although there will be some stock
shipped to this place during August. the
heavy shipments will hardly be made much
before September and October. 1t is the no.
ton of the Omaha people that the shipments
in general will be larger than those of last
year, for the reason that the low market
prices and scarcity of cars last year per
suaded many stockholders to throw back on
the ranges many of the four-year-old steers
which they had intended to send to the mar
ranged from 31a to cents. while at this time
ter.
cording to indication will not be apparent
until about the middle of August. For the
past six weeks the company has been dis
tributing these stock cars throughout the ter
ritory. as opportunity to make up trains of
the "empties'' offered, and from news sent
in by the agents at the stock points the men
in st. Paul believe that owing to the fact that
the winter was not severe, the percentages
of fat stock will be greater than last wear
and the movement correspondingly heavier.
There are at this time on the road between
this city and the Montana ranges half a
dozen stock trains. the first of which as
stated above, will land in this city today.
