PROSPERITY IN WYOMING.
Great Increase In Value or the Cattle and
sheep Raising Industries.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 1.-The people Of
Wyoming are experiencing a generous share Of
the general prosperous business condition OF the
country. Tho two leading industries OF the
State are sheep and cattle raising, and in these
two industries there is an increase this year over
last In this State in value of over $1,000, 900.
The assessment rolls of the State for 1895
show that there were assessed for taxation 297.-
2+0 head OF cattle ut an average valuation of
Sl2.56. The actual number OF cattle in the
State. according to the most conservative esti-
mates of stockmen, was 800 900. and the aver
age market value of these cattle on the range
was $l7 a head.
This year there are 500. 900 cattle, and the av-
erage per head on the range is S25. Several big
herds have been sold at this price, an increase OF
So a head for one year. The increased price
means n direct gain to the cattle raisers of Wy
oming Of ~. 900, 900 for one year.
The advance in the sheep-raising industry has
been even more striking. In 1895 the total
number OF sheep assessed in the State was l.
O6S. 063. valued at Sl.77 a head. This repre-
sented perhaps one-half of the actual number Of
sheep in the State, which is 1000. 600 head.
Wyoming wool is now selling at 3 cents n pound
more than 1t did in 1896. and on the basis OF
eight pounds of wool TO the fleece. sheep for heir
wool alone are worth % cents a head more than
In 1898.

BIRD sLAUGHTER ABROAD.
nuzIaras In EnsIand and Game In Italy Almost
EIterminated.

1t would appear from the action of the British
Society for the Protection OF Birds that 1t is not
for milliners' only that birds are
wantonly destroyed. The society Is using great
efforts TO pl reserve the buzzard and the dotterel.
which have their homes in The neighborhood of
the English lakes. These birds are being exter-
minated partly by tho ignorant hostility OF
gamekeepers. who imagine that every big bird

tional British love OF slaughter: and AT the pres
ent rate OF destruction 1t viii Ne bur a very short
time before the buzZard and the dOtterel are as
rare as tho roe. PrOie tiOn is afforded by the
Wild Birds act OF 1895, and the authorities
are appealed to 10 enforce that act.
Again. the birds in Italy are being slaughtered
to supply the London market, and The Italians
are crying out against the lncessant raids on tho
fe tthcred SOngs;ers Of their country, whi,h are
steadily thinning them on, and must Ultimately,
unless arres' ed. eytInsuish many species. The
Italian Government Is urged to establish "A rigid
close season, as the evil can be grtppled with
only at its source, The French Government
made an effort TO combat il by prohibiting tho
transit OF quail through France during the
nesting period, but the birds were taken through
Belgium ana Germany instead, ana nothing
was gained. II people could be persuaded not
TO eat these birds in certain seasons, the lack OF
demand would lessen the supply, and something
might BIO gaiASd.

THE c1rr,s MONEY AcCoUNr.
Manner in which Public Moneys Arc Received
and Distributed.

A very Vague notion of the laws and legal reg
~ulations relating to the payment Of public
moneys exists among those who have little to
do with the city in e business way, and it Ia
probably the belief OF many such persons that
the city treasury is q sort OF mammoth recepta-
Gle, the excess of revenue over payments being
what is called the balance in the treasury. Tho
fact Is that there exists no such state of affairs.

The city's expenses are so apportioned that
they are pretty evenly divided during the
months Of the year. and bonds are issued so far
as possible SO that the interest shall be dis

revenue does not come into the Treasury with
any approach OF evenness. There are enormous

TIE MILLS o. washtsaten state Nvorhing to
Their Utmost TO Supply the East.


TACOMA. wash, July 3l.-The $50 shingle
mills In this State are working to their fullest
capacity to supply the Eastern demand for
shingles, which is tho greatest ever known. In
MAY washington shipped more than 1900 cars
Of red cedar shingles. The June shipments ex-
ceeded 1000 cars, amounting to 800. 600, 900
shingles, and the July shipments win exceed
these figures. These are the largest shipments
IN the history Of the sbingle business in the
Northwest.
Prices have advanced from ten to twelve cents
a thousand over tho prices Of three months ago.
Star A Stars, which then sold for as low as 90
and % cents, are now bringing Sl.o5, and
clears, for which the manpieetnrcT then re-
daily output in this city amounts to nearly q
million shingles, and in the state 10 about ten
are realizing 4 small profit, but they say 1t is
only small. for during the last year or two many
mills have gone out Of business ana large stocks
which kept the general price down to the cost OF
production or a little below 1t.
The shingle manufacturers have been aston
ished at the unprecedented demand of the last
sixty days, and are also surprised by tho fact
that 1t comes from all sections OF me country.

Perfections is used chiefly. Orders have come

years.
The lumber business Is reported to be fair,
particularly the rail trade. In May tho rail
shipments from this State were very good. being
exceeded In quantity only by those of Mach,
1895. and March, April. and May, 1893. Tho
number of saw mills in'this State Is PAS. with q
daily capacity of 5,775,0O0 feet. Col: @. w.
Griggs, President of the st. Paul and Tacoma
Lumber Company. says the rail lumber business
IL holding up well, and he believes all the rail
shipping mill 8 are having all they can do. The
cargo trade. both coastwise and foreign, is rather
slack. Lumber prices arc very low and at pres
ent quotations there 10 little profit to be made.
He thinks that shingles should bring from 20 to
25 cents a thousand moro than at present and
that they would II the manufacturers could
agree upon prices and maintain them.
When last heard from, Henry Hewitt, Jr.,
Treasurer of the st. Paul and Tacoma Lumber
Company, was In Vladivostock, Siberia, whence
