Citv,s Fxnensss-
Grand total
Wiping Out Salvage.

If the contention Of the proponents
of the plan to merge the county gov
eminent into the municipality in so
far as the city's jurisdiction may ex-
tend if correct, that a large saving
in operating expenses could be effected
in the matter of official positions and
Office help. IL is evident from a perusal
Of the nine accounts in contrast above
that probably not more than $4,000
yearly could be saved. On the other
hand. it is COntended that If the mu-
nicipal boundaries were extended. say
a mile farther south, and the added
district brought into the combined city
and new cOunty's Jurisdiction, IL would
cost more each year than the sum
saved to extend municipal benefits to
the added area, while as to school ad-
miHistratiOn. it is pleaded that it would
cost more than the increased tax rev
enues from any annexed territory TO
extend the city school system thereto.
Hence, they say, taxes would be no
less.
1t is admitted that no slight opUO-
siti0n would come from the residents
OF the county outside the city to
proJSct having for its object the Great
ing Of a new county for them, even
with their portion Of the bond debt as
sumed and the new county given
enough money to start business.
Political considerations would also
have weight in determining this cues
ton, it is believed.

fsnec1al to The Heraldn


III ASHINGTON. April 20-Chairman
Wv Lacey Of the house public lands
committee today introduced a
general bill for leasing valuable public
lands for grazing purposes. To all ap-
pearances this measure does away with
the objections raised by the interior
department to the bills heretofore in
trodGced. The bin is drawn primarily
10 give homestead settlers and small
stock raisers an opportunity in the arid
regions to improve and protect the
grasses upon the public domain in the
vicinity Of their holdings so as to pre-
vent further deterioration and monopo-
lizatiOn Of ranges by owners Of large
herds Of livestock. Under its provisions
such Of the arid region and semi-arid
region as IS not capable of irrigation
may be leased for stock grazing pur-
poses, subject to the right of home
stead mineral and other entry under
the existing laws
Leases are to run not over five wears
and shall be limited to areas not ex-
ceeding $500 acres to any one person.
Leases shall only be made to actual
homestead settlers or freehOlders whose
lands are tributary to the lands 20 be
leased by them. and the holder of
homestead, prior to the patent. may
obtain a lease to not exceeding ten
times the area of the land included in
said homestead. while freehOlders may
acquire leaseholds in similar ratio up
70 the limit specified In the foregoing
Lessees may fence leased lands and
protect them from tresspass. No cor
poratiOn shall be entitled to a lease.
Where two or more persons are eligible
to acquire leases upon the same land,
and there is not enough public lands in
such locality, the lands will be equit-
ably appOrtiOned.
Lands to be leased are to be classi-
fed in six grades and shall rent for
from ] 70 S cents an acre, according to
classification. Such of the public do
main as it not leased shall remain open
for general grazing privileges.
The proposed law will not alter the
status of grazing lands in the forest re-
serves. but the secretary Of the interior
is authorized 10 collect a per capita
charge on horses, cattle and sheep
which are permitted to Craze on the re-
serves. When mineral or other entry
is made upon leased land, the lease
shall be cancelled.
Watering places on leasable lands
are 10 be reserved so as to be accessi-
bic from all leased lands In the vicinity
Leases may be renewed. provided the
lands do not fall into the hands Of cor
pOratiOns.

w Domestic trade movement for the
first quarter Of 1902 compared
With those for the corresponding period
IN 1901 are reported in the March sum
mary Of internal commerce by the
treasury bureau of statistics. These
hgures seem to indicate a continued
increase in the volume of representa-
tive branches Of commerce. The re-
celpts Of wheat at eight markets in the
interior FOR the year 1901. 10 10 AnriI

pared with 1862. 766 bushels for the
corresponding period of 1902. There is
mus gain Of 81 per cent to the cred
It Of the current quarter.
me livestock movements exhibit the
same general tendency. with some ex-
ceptions. For the first quarter OF 1000
the receipts Of five kinds OF stock at
the five leading markets Of the interior
were E4lZ, 7OS head; for the first quarter
OF 1901 the receipts tOtaled 7.646.572
head, and for 1902 totaIed 7.SS1. $50
mead The greatest percentage of gain
among the i've classes of stock was
made IN the receipts Of calves.
comparison Of receipts. shipments
and consumption of calves brings to
light the fact that the primary mar
kets are cutting deeper than usual into
the younger classes Of stock on the
ply. 80 - y
Tie average weight of hogh at Chica-
Sc Was six pounds less than during
March, 1901; at St Joseph. eight
POUNDS less St Omaha. twelve pounds
less, and at Kansas City. nineteen
pounds less. The carload receipts of
stock generally show an increase. ex-
cept at Kansas City, where there was.
2 decrease Of 81 per cent in the num-
Der of cars, compared with March. 1901.
For the three months ending March
81, of this year. Chicago received 1854
cars of stock, and IS. 563 for the CORE
spending quarter of the preceding
year, showing a gain of 6,25I cars. in
oicating that the Chicago supply is
being kept up blythe central west and
northwest. ~
Traffic in livestock compared for the
first quarter OF three. successive years
showed that for the first quarter of
1900 four markets received 10. 1872 cars:
for 1901, the corresponding figure was
1888 cars. and for 1902. 127.21s cars.
There is. therefore. a material gain to
the credit of western livestock traffic
thus far this year over either Of the
preceding two years. despite the south
western shortage of supply.
The commercial wears report on the
pork packing industry confirms these
figures of the increase of livestock
traffic. The Cincinnati Price Current
gives 25,411.s76 head as the total of
hogs packed in the western centers
during the year ending March 1, com
pared with q, 600, 674 head for the pre-
ceding year The receipts OF hogs at
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore,
however. during the twelve months
ending March /, were the lowest in
seven years.
