CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
A Special Weekly Cattle Train Put on by
the Pecos Valley Railroad.

The Pecos Valley & Northwestern
railroad has placed on its line special
weekly beef train, which leaves Carlsbad
every Sunday and picks up cars of mar
ket stock clear through to Amarillo and
delivers the cattle in Kansas City pens
on Tuesday night in time for the Wed
nesday market. The estimate of fat
cattle that will be marketed from the
Pecos valley and its vicinity is placed at
1O0,O head more, making total for
the year OF $4,000 head. This would
appear to be an unusually large showing
for road only two years old, hut when
1t is remembered that every mile of this
road is above the quarantine line, and
the immense territory It commands, the
estimate appears reasonable enough.
The class of stock shipped this year
has been vast improvement over that
OF last year, as ranchmen are breeding
up their herds. The ranges have been
in such perfect condition during the
past spring and summer that fat cattle
will begin to move very early this fall,
probably by the middle of September.
Abundant rains following mild winter
have brought about this result.

ported platform strongly condemn
ing the extravagant and useless ex-
penditure of county funds the past two
years by the present Democratic board
Of commissioners. the incompetent and
negligent administration of the asses
sors office, combining to create an ex-
cessve and burdensOme rate of taxa
ton. The candidates of the convention
were pledged to reform. The resolutions
indorsed the official record of Collector

serve the national and territorial ad-
ministratons.

The Republicans go into the county
campaign with a more complete and
harmonious organization than ever be-
fore in the history Of the party. They
are aggressive and very much in earn
est, and their slogan is reform and econ
omy. They will have the assistance of
many Independent voters and Demo-
Gratis who are forced from their own
party by its extravagant and reckless
policy.
The vote of Eddy courtv for ihe head
vi the territorial ticket in NA .nNtrar
will be the largest in its history. and
the entire ticket bids fair to be elected.

no EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS-.
An Important Cabinet Meeting Was Held
Today.

Washington, August PA cabinet
meeting was in session to-day Until
nearly 2 o'clock. The members were
more reticent than usual as to what
transpired. 1t can be stated, however,
that this government so far received no
official or well authenticated informa-
ton that the Russian government has
declared war on China, or that it is her
immediate purpose to do so. The SUBJ
ject of an extra session of congress, 1t
was stated, was not mentioned, and it
can be stated, on the authority o.
member of the cabinet. that under the
present conditions an extra session is
altogether improbable.
