which order went into effect on May 25.
notwithstanding this and every other live
stock association west cf the Missouri river
protested in strongest terms against such
action.
At a meeting Of the Transmissourl Traflo
association held in this city on the 9th
inst. President John W. Springer Of the
National Live Stock association was granted
the privilege Of making an argument In
favor Of the restoration Of this rate and
presented resolutions bearing upon the sub
ject from the stockmen Of Texas, Utah,
Colorado. South Dakota, Montana and other
states interested He also asked for lower
rate On range horses to the Missouri river
and Denver markets. No final action was
taken by the transportation companies on
the feedng-in-translt proposition. but we
have been unofically informed that the
association is inclined 10 grant some con-
cessions to the shippers. which probably
will be two local rates from the original
point Of loading TO the river markets, the
sum Of which will not exceed the old feed
ing in transit with the switching charges
added The request for a range rate on
horses was granted.
CLASSIFIED Census.
The resolution adopted at the January
meeting. setting forth the absolute useless
ness OF the present method OF taking the
census Of live stock of the country and re-
questing the Department OF Agriculture TO
cause a classified and correct census to be
taken, was forwarded to Secretary James
Wilson and other interested officials at
Washington. Mr.. Wilson appreciates the
business of the request and is doing all in
his power to have it granted. Replying TO
our letter on this subject, he says:
NNrs ~ g,,g,, ~.
resolutions passed by the live stock in
terests, is received. cordially sympathize
with you in all these resolutions. Will
have consultation with our statistcian re-
garding the statistics he prints, and see
what we can do along that line.
with regard to the census of domestic
animals, we have never had such thing
since the United States was a nation. Ii
shows, as you say, milk cows and other than
milk cows; horses and mules, etc; which
is about as intelligent as II the census of
the population were expressed women and
other than women. There has never been
census taken of the domestic animals in
the cities, so that ii is exceedingly worth
less. unintelligble and inapplicable and
senseless. l have made several moves in
this direction. First / got hold of the sec
retary Of the interior and importuned him
to see to it that a statistician was put in
charge of farm statistics who had some idea
Of agriculture; but l found that the Sec
retary Of the interior has really no control
over the census. / have not been able to
get hold of Governor Merriam, the new
director of the census. but / will begin a
correspondence with him and see II it is
Lot possible to get somebody appointed and
put in charge of agriculture in the census
who has some conception OF agriculture
1t will be a new thing, of course, II we
succeed in getting that done; and ! assure
you 1 will make every effort to that end"

MORE SUMTER HISTORY.
In conjunction with the demands made
on Fort Sumter ii will be interesting 70
note something about the history OF the
first hostile demonstration or communica-
tion with Major Anderson. General NOV
bishop Capers, in talking about this phase
yesterday said When it was announced
OH the morning of the 9th of December
1861, that Anderson had moved his garrison
over to Fort sumter Governor Pckens

General Johnston Pettgrew. with de-

sioners to maintain. General Pettigrew
took with him the major of his famous
rifles. Major Ellison Capers. General Pet
tigrew fell on the Potomac, ana Bsnop
Capers survives. and has a vivid recollec-
ton of the interview. In the interview
Major Anderson said that IN the contro-
yersy between the North and the South big
personal sympathies were with the Soutn,
but he said he was an officer of the United
States government. and his duty was 10
his flag. He said he went to the fort, not
as a war measure, but as peace measure,
as he felt safer there. and thought mat
hs would be more threatened while he was
at Fort Moultrie. General Pettigrew III
formed Major Anderson that any refusal
or his part with the demands of the au-
thorities he represented would make him
responsible for the consequences that
would follow. Major General Crawford. IN

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN prop.
erty owners and ranchmen in Mont.
rose county, living and paying taxes
outside of Montrose, have signed
petitions asking the town board to
refuse to grant saloon licenses. The
plea made is that the signers have
become tired of paying the excessive
taxes caused directly by the Mont
rose saloons, from which they de-
rive no benefit, and from an economi-
cal standpoint as well as for the
reason that the saloon is detrimental
to the social, moral, intellectual and
spiritual welfare of the community.
The county records show that an ex-
pense of $65,000 has been saddled
upon Montrose county from murder
trials, the crimes being committed in
the Montrose saloons. Of course
this great burden is borne by the
county taxpayers and not by the city
taxpayer,

EASY PROBLEMS.

Here are some easy problems for
some of our mathematical friends,
who were proving so much by figures
a year ago. They are all simple and
may be used to advantage by third
and fourth grade teachers in their
mental arithmetic classes.
Last year the Taxpayers promised
US a reduction in taxes equal to the
amount of revenue received from sa-
looms. What has been the result?
Here are the figures:
Last year the city valuation was
$723, SOP; the city tax rate 26.6
mills. That would produce revenue
of $19,245.17. This year the valua-
tion is $725, 900 and tax rate 26 mills
This will bring into the treasury $l8,.
$50. Here is an apparent saving Of
$395.17; but, the present city admin
istration is not paying out the $7O(
yearly to the Fruit Day fund, which
has heretofore been the custom. Hac
this been paid we would now be
$304.S3 behind, and nothing has beer
said about the income from saloon
licenses. There are now seven sa-
looms in the city at yearly license
fee of $500. That brings the city in
$1,000; but where has the money
gone?
Look at the figures again. The
total revenue for the city in 1898 was
Sl9,245. For 1899, including saloon
revenue, it is $24, ,450-an increase of
S., ,204.s3.
Problems: If the revenue from
seven saloons will reduce the taxes
six-tenths of one mill, how many
saloons would it require at $500 per
year to furnish enough revenue to
run the city?
With only one year under the
present administration the expenses
of maintaining the city government
has been increased ONLY S5,204.83,
what will be the result of five years
of such economy?
Figures are sometimes deceiving.
Don't trust to them, but dig up your
tax receipts for this year and last, (,
compare the totals. What result?
How much haye you gained by
your saloon policy? If it costs $5,-
