WEST POINT CADETSHIPS.
More Than One Hundred Nacancie.
to BE Filled.

Army boards have been ordered TO con-
vene at the leading military posts on Feb
ruary 20 for the examination of a large
class of candidates for entrance to West
Point in June on the nomination of mem
bers of Congress.
There are over 100 vacancies in the in
stitution, for which 40 candidates have
been designated, including four at large
appointed by the President. Twelve va
cancies, including one in the Fifth Mary
land district remain untitled, and these
places will be represented by boys, except
the Maryland district, owing to the indis-
position of Congressman Mudd TO have a
cadet at West Point.
The number Of vacancies this year is not
above the average, and while there have
been hundreds of young men appointed to
the Army from civil life the war has had
no effect in increasing the number of Army
cadetshps. For the last two years there
have been more young men selected from
civil life for positions in the regular serv-
ice than were appointed from the West
Point graduates, and at the present rate of
casualties and retirements it will be i'm
possible for West Point to graduate the
young men required to fill all vacancies in
the several branches of the service.
This opens up the Army to young men
from civil life, and gives the man In the
ranks fair chance also OF being rewarded
with a commission IL he meets the examin-
ing boards requirements. II Is not prob
able that more than half the number Of
candidates will be admitted II the usual
percentage Of reflections Is maintained,

Prospects Of the Coming Cattle
Sedson-Outlook For BeetS-
CarIsbad's Steady Growth
Special Correspondence of The HERALD

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
CARLSBAD, n. NJ, March 20.-Tbe
coming cattle season, which is sup
posed to commence next month, will
without question exceed in the number
of shipm nts, both of feeding and ~ ar
ket stock, that of last year by fully a
third. Last year the total number of
cattle that were moved over the Pecos
valley road slightly exceeded 40, coo
head all told. 1t must be remem bered
that the road was only placed in run
ming operation on the 2nd of Feb. of 50
and that many Inducements for
cattle shippers on the plains did not
exist then which are now in full oper
3 ton. For instance the big yards at
Portales can today care for 10, 900 head
OF stock. A year ago they did not ex-
ist or were at least only in course of
construction. The same may be said
OF other stations that are just as5um-
ing important places On the road and
which were side tracks year
since.
Grass cattle will reach the market
earlier this season by nearly month
than those shipped last season. The
winter has been mild and the ranges
are even now putting on their green
mantle.
The character of the cattle that will
leave the valley will be vast improve
ment on t. e of '99. Many herds are
now up to three-fourths and even
seven-eighths. Standard grade Here
fords also will be found In every car
that is shipped from here for the feed
ing points in the north or in Kansas or
Oklahoma.
The outlook for the beet crop for
the ensuing year is just now not al
together favorable. Up to date some
1900 acres have been set aside for
beets and very possibly as many more
will be appropriated for the crop be-
fore the close of the planting season,
but it was hoped by the managers of
the industry here that at least 1000
acres would be put in this year. The
acreage may reach that figure yet, but
it does not look that way just nov.
Carlsbad Is enjoying a steady, health
full growth. The irrigation dams are
full and ensure all the water needed
for the season without drop OF rain.
The outlook for fruit was n=ver as good.

tarc's on men who got their rope
