A VERITABLE GARDEN SPOT.
THE FERTILE VALLEYS 3F THE CONZHOS
A Description cf San Ange!o ar-d Torn Green
Caurry and Its Fertility of Soil a»d
Product vi Capacity.
Mr. Vf. H. Will's of this city has bnt ra
cently returned from a -visit to San Angelo.
the connty seat of Tom Ureen c junty, and
its enrronsding country, and Is vary en-
thnsiastic over the remarkable producing
capacity of this section of the state, which
he is pleased to designate the garden spot
ol Texas:
BBo interested was il". Willis in whit he
saw there, that it is mainly through his
efforts that a moveseat has been set on
foot to have some of the very remirkabla
products of this section of the state exhib-
ited at the approaching Dallas fair. Ha
«1eo advises the making of a like exhibit a
Los Angeles, Cal.
"Why it is X can't understand," said Mr
Willis in this con^eonju, - coat people will
insist npon going to California aad paying
from $OQO to fsco an acre for land, wnei
such land as is embraced ia the fertile val
leys of the Cjuccoh can be had for JW aa
acre, and when experience shoiya that tha
yield of this land is maoh more profitable
than any land npon the .Pacific slope."
The following from a recent issue of the
Ban Asgexo Record gives a detailed de
scription of this favored section:

Irrigation enterprises in the valleys of tha
Conchns and their numerous tributaries
which bid fair at so distant time to bacom >
a large item In the total wealth of easter r
Tom Ureen county. Irrigation of land for
producing or increasing its fertility is of
great antiquity. * * * It is a matter of
statistics that the most densely popul»te 1
terming sections in the world are at points
where irrigation is practiced, which goes
to show that It BUDports a greater popula-
tion per acre than any other system ot
farming. The popular idea of irrigation is
that it is only desirable and useful in al-
most rainless cocntries as an entire substi
! tnte for the natnral rainfall. Hash doubt
less was the origin of the practice, bnt the
I experience of centuries has taught that lit
Is almost equally valuable In sections of
sufficient average rainfall to generally pro-
duce good crops as afertilizer of the soil and
m an insurance against the partial failure
of the crop, owing to occasional drouthy
seasons. No where does the rainfall, how-
ever abundant, always come just in the
time of most need for the farmer, and how
glad would he often be to be able to control
the clouds. Fortunate is he who Is so far
independent of tha weather, that taoaga
morn after morn breaks with a clear and
rainless eky, he still has the assurance of a
full harvest and ample returns for his labor.
Thus we see that irrigation as a fsrtillzsr ot
the soil, Rnd as an insurance against laci
ot sufficient rainfall, is of almost iavaliiabie
service to the farmer, and such it has
proved in this section. The extended
drouth throughout Texas the past year,
from which i'om Green county was not
exempt, was vary disastrous to tae farmers
d.epen' ear unon the natural rainfall, but
the harvfsts f-om onr irrigated farms were
tvexi nor* p eatm 1 uian usua1. Where tie
Water is available waat cneapor tieuaace
can the farmer nase against the partial or
total failure ot the crop? Taere' may be
toacy seasons waeu irrigation will ba al-
motit totally unnecessary to secure sa
Abundant harvest, our tha total cost of pat-
t n.,"l,» lend t- '' - arobibly be
mt re tnan p raid by the firtt oro j gathered
in ihu, wt:ic„ oluoi iv.oo iiava oaen a
failure lor lack of a little rain at the propar
time.
•'A few words a» to the methods and co3t
of irrigating may be of some interest. The
Concho river and its tributaries have au
average fall of from fifteen to twenty feet to
the mile, and a low dam (from five to ten
feet) and a short ditch (say from one-half
to one taile long) is usually sufficient to
throw the water upon the lands desired to
be irrigated. Under ordinary circum-
stances the cost of a dam and ditches to
irrigate from 300 to 400 acres should not ex-
ceed, say, i4 an acre. Ot course, the small
er the acreage irrigated the greater will be
the cost per acre, and the greater the acre-
age the less the per acre costs. The quan-
tity of water necessary to irrigate a given
quantity of land during tha driest season
varies with the nature of the soil and char-
acter of the crop, and is still somewhat a
matter of experiment. For 25J to 300 acres
it is estimated that a stream of water run-
ning two and a halt cubic feet per second
would be ample. This Is about the quantity
of water that would be discharged from a
ditch over a weir or waterway three feet
wide, with a head cf about five inches.
When no rain falls the lands are irrigated
at intervals of from fifteen to twenty-five
days. With a proper supply of water two
men can thoroughly irrigate from twenty
to twenty-fonr acres in a day and night, or
about cue acre aa hour. Fenced irrigable
lands, with dams and ditches complete,
together with tbe water privilege,
•re held at from $25 to $50 per acre, and
rent for from $6 to $10 per acre cash rental,
or one-third ol the crop; the renter in both
cases making all ordinary repairs in dams
•nd ditches.
"The principal crops raised and their
§ resent market valae are a3 follows: Corn,
) cents per bushel; beans, $2 per bushel;
oats, 70cents per bushel; wheat, 90 cents
per ctishel; sweet potatoes, $1 per bushel;
millet, $10 to $18 per ton; alfalfa, $18 per
toe, Bed many varieties of fruits, all of
which and a ready home market. Alfalfa
is cut from four to six times in the year,
and many of the lands raise two crops a
season year after year without lessening
their fertility. It is some thirteen to fifteen
years since the first irrigated farms were
open in this vicinity. The pioneers were K.
F. Tankersley. Colonel F. C. Taylor and
the Delong brothers. Within the last few
years many new ditches have been taken
out with good profits to the owner. * * *
All the farms, where completed, are yield
kg handsome returns both to owners
•nd renters.
"The extent of lands that can be irrigated
is limited only by the supply ot water in
the Conchos, which is yet far from being
exhausted. North, middle and south Con-
cho, and Spring, Dove and Antelope creeks,
are all bold running streams, fed by ever-
lasting springs. Oa these streams there
■re fatill many desirabla locations of large
or f-mall acreaga which have not yet been
pr t under ditch, and waich would yield larga
£rofits to the investor, or to farmers sees-
;g assured returns for their labor. When
farmers only desire from 50 to 100 acres
of irrigated land, to save the larger expense
ot a separate dam and ditch for a small
acreage, they usually either club together
and take ont a ditch in common, or par
chase the acreage desired, together with the
water rights, In some of the larger farms.
With the unrivaled facilit es for irrigating
the rich valley bottoms ot the Conchos, 8 an
Angelo promises not far in the fatare to be
the center of one of the most productive
tarming sections in all western Texas."
Death of Win H. John.
After lingering at death's door for several
weeks past, Mr. William H. John, son of N.
N. John, died at his residence oa Winnie
street, between Twenty-eighth and Twenty-
ninth streets, at 0 o'clock yesterday even-
ing. While death was not unexpected, it is
none the less regretted by a large circle of
relatives and .'r'ends. The deceased was
born in Lawrencebarg, lad., Jane 1,1814

At tbe beginning of the war he joined Da

a disappointment.
Eon- J. ». Carlisle "Will Nut Visit Texas-Ho
Goes From Wichita to Hot Springs
and Thence to St. Louis.
Mr, Hedges, the agent for the Associated
l'ress in this city, received a dispatch last
night from Mr. Osborn, press agent at St.
Louis, announcing that Mr. Carlisle would
leave Wichita, Kan., to day for Hot
Bprlngs, Ark., and would go thence direct
to St. Louis.
Hence Galveston after all her appointing
of committees to receive and enterta'.n tha
distingnised visitor is doomed to be disap
pointed. It bhows, however, that her heart
is in tbe rigbt ulace and Mr. Cur lisle will
accept the will for the deed.
The city conncll at Its meeting on Thurs
day appointed a committee, headed by tho
mayor, to extend to Mr. Carlisle the free
dom of the city. Yesterday the cotton
exchange met and appointed a similar
committee to receive and entertain the wel-
comed visitor, and a meeting of prominent
citizens resulted in a similar action. In
fact some forty or fifty prominent citizens
were on the qui viva yesterday, watching
the trains and telegraphing to different
Solnts in the state to try and locate the
lnstrlous traveler, a suite of rooms had
even been engaged and prepared for him
at the Trcmont, as he was expected on last
night's train.
In the face of this disappointment it may
be interesting to know how the information
fot abroad that Mr. Carlisle was coming to
esse.
In the New Orleans Times Democrat' of
October 5 the following was published tin
der a W ashingtou date, October 4, as a
special dispatch to that paper:
•' Mr. Carlisle and wife left Wichita, Kan.,
Thursday evening for GUlvestou, Tex., ac
companled by their sons, M. K. and L. L
Carlisle. They will reach Galveston Friday
evening at (i o'clock, and will leave there
text Monday evening for Hot Springs,
where tfey will remain for soma weeks."
On Thursday morning exactly the same
dispatch appeared In the Houston Post
under Washington date of Octobers. It
was here that Mayor Falton saw it and
made the Post special part of his message
in directing tbe attention of the council to
the necessity of extending proper cour-
tesies to so distinguished a visitor.
Thus the matter originated, and had Mr.
Carlisle come to Galveston he would have
bed no cause to regret his visit, as elabor-
ate preparations were made for his recep
tion and entertainment.

A movement is on foot to condemn as a
nuisance the frame rookeries on the north-

The World at the Tremont.
The ever popular and one of the most re
markable spectacular dramas now cater-
ing to popular favor, Tae World, was pie
sented at the Tremont opera-house last
night to a good audience. Tbls play was
presented here last season, and seams to
have lost none of its popularity. Ia fast
The World is enjoying a remarkab y long
run upon the pajence of the theater going
public of America, the best evidencs o! Its
possessing attractive merit and the secret
of longevity. There is no literary merit In
it, nor does It make any pretentions in that
direction. It is a striking and sncoe3sfal
illustration of the fact that the theatrical
taste of the present inclines to ac-
tion and dramatic situations rather than
wordy dit-logie however chaste or elgeant
the laLgnitfco or intense the story. Tae
World has hit npon this idea withphenomt
nal success, and the action of the play car-
ried with strong scenic effect is its redeem-
ing feature. Tne story is commonplace,
bnt the situations involved are remarkably
artistic, laying claim to one of the most
reft'istlc spectacular dramas ever presented
here. The shipwreck scene In tne second
act and the ratt scene of the act foil i wing
are marvels of perfection In presenting
these scenes as true to life as it seems pos-
tible to portray them upon the stage. In
the second act the stage is converted into
the deck of a thoroughly equipped ocean
steamer with bulwarks, cabin, smokestacks
and all the other paranhernalia, making a
complete and reali.tic scene picture. The
storm scene addB to the grandeur of the
scenic effect, and aa the doomed vessel sac-

as to pretent nothing but a broad expanse

TKM1 lb, October 7.—The condition of the
cotton crop !n this refghborhood is de-luou y
unfavorable. About 60 per tent oithe ;rop is
already gathered. The worms have des:royeu
all prospect of a top crop In the territory casr
couth and west of us, and a large amount Oj
open cotton was beaten out and lost by tho
late heavy iaiii3. The jteld of this Immediate
relghborhot it will piobably reach 17,500 as
against 11),600 bales last season.
BOWIE COUNTY.
New Boston, October 7.—Tho condition of
the cotton crop In this part of the county Is
on an average good, About 20 per cent Is
gathered, and 10 per cent marketed. Tlie
probable yield, as compared with last year,
will be atout 25 per cent Increase.
BOSQUE COUNTY.
Kofpekl, October 7 —Tha drouth In summer
luacle early cotton very light and the worms
ate the late cotton so badly will not get ma^h
if any, I think folly 60 per cent of cottan a!
ready gathered. Will get bile to six acres t
maybe noc so mush. Xlarrily halt asmmh
raised per acre as last year ana hardiy so much
planted as last.
BURNET COUNTY.
bubnet, October 7.-The cotton shipments
from tills point during the month of Septem
Ler, this year, were SSJ bales. In Septsmber,
1866, there were shipped bales, on whlon
average the present crop will be about two-
thirds ot last year's. l!nt It Is thought that
this average will not be kept up dining the
usual cotton season, as the first picking U
now perhaps two-thirds marketed, and the
general eonilltion ot the crop, taken in con-
nection with the advanced season, Is not favor-
able to a second picking. In many places it is
known that no top crop will be gathered, as
the plant was past reviving when the recent
rains set in.
CHAMBERS COUNTY.
Wat.i isVii.i.k, October 7.—The worms have
been ove ■ the cotton, and nave reduced Its
yield. Three fourths of the crop has been
tatlieiea. Production about as much as last
year.
DENTON COUNTY.
demon, October 7.—The cotton crop of this
county is in en better this year than for sev
<ral pievlcus years. The yield will average
near one hall bale per acre. Tho weather has
teen exceptionally favorable to gathering It,
v hieh has r>een busily going on since August
jo. About 70 per cent nas a'ready been gath-
ered, about half ol which has been marketed,
The acreage t ils year Is over 50,000 acres,
which Is 10 per cent 1 .crease over last year,
ui,d the yield Is at least 15 per cant better than
last j env The total yield in bales will perhaps

Pilot Point, Tex., October 7.—Sixty per-
cent of tha cotton crop has been gathered
The condition of the c rop is such that nothing
but disastrous storms can affect result!. Rut
lor tbe wonns, which totally deatioyed the
top crop and otb«rwise Injuiud the crop, the
yield would ln.ve been full,{averaging twe-
thirds of a bale per acre. As It Is, this crop
will be 50 per cent less than last year's. The
report covers a radius of ten miles, entbrac
InK a pait of Coliin, Grayson, Cooke and Den

FASTLAND COUNTY.
Tifco, October 7.—The cotton crop Is being
marketed quite rapidly uow. The shipments
up to date this year compared with the same
period last year sho w an ln< rease ol nearly
6 bales this year to 1 last. Bating the average
shipped to date on pit vlous years there la not
more than 20 or 25 per cent of the crop mar-
keted yet. It Is estimated by many parties
that Cisco will ship from 4000 to 5000 bales this
year.
FRANKLIN COUNTY.
Moukt Vernon, October 7.—The cotton crop
In this county Is In good condition. About 70
per cent of It has beeu gathered. Tlie yield

shipments will be larger.
HAYS COUNTY.
Kyle,October 7.—The late rains have started
the plant to growing,but It Ij too late to miikn
before lrost. One hundred per cent will be
leathered In this county, owing to tho con
tinued fine weather for picking. While tha
crop Is no better, If as good as la^t year, wo
think there will be as many, If not more, hates
raised, on account of the increase In aareage.
JOHNSON COUNTY.
Cleburne, October 7.—The condition of tho
crop In this section, reported by parties who
know, is that the crop will be about half ap
muchasiast year. Tlie boll worm destroyed
all cf the top crop. About 7C00 bales will be
marketed here, aire entire crop wlil bo har-
vested by November 15.
LAVACA COUNTY.
Hallettsville, October 7.—The cotton crop
in tills section is about all gathered, and tne
yield will be about one fifth more than that of
last year. 1 lie prospect for a fall crop hus
been destroyed by the worms.
LIMESTONE COUNTY.
mexia, October 7.—The cotton crop of this
section will be about 26 per cent less than 1 i!t
jcar. lully one third of the crop liasbaen
tathered and marketed. Tlie total receipts at
this point for last season up to September 1
were between 23,(00 and 24,000 bales; recalpts
for this year from geniral Inquiry are eitl
mated at from 16,000 to 20,600 bu'en, tlie lowest
ti jure being the most general estimate. Th :
estimate of the average yield is about a bale
to lour acres. A small top crop wlil be made
on all yoni g cotton which had not stopped
growing up to the time of rain tlie latter part
of August, which ended the drouth.
MOSTAGUK COUNTY.
Montague, October 7.—The condition of tlie
cotton crop is good. Hardly 50 per cent of the
crop has been gathered. The yield, as com
pared with last year, Is 30 per cent greater.
MADISON COUNTY,
JJADieoNviLLK, October 7.—But little damage
has been done the cotton crop In this (Madl-
fon) county, except to what is known as the
top crop—the worm has Injured that portion
ot the ciop serlouely. It Is oellsved that two
thirds certain, and perhaps three-fourths of
tlie present crop lias been picked out. In re
gard to the yield, the crop this year will not
exceed that of last vear.
PALO PINTO COUNTY.
Gobdon, Tex., October 7.—Cotton crop dam
a»ed by w< rms at least 25 per cent, Fifty per
cent of crop gathered. The crop Is 100 per-
cent better than last year. About 500 balea Is
tlie yield (or this year, Abput 250 bales was
the j leid last year.
RAINS COUNTY.
Emoby, October 7.—The condition of the
cotton crop Is good. About one-half is gath-
ered. The yield is about one sixth more than
last year, and an Incieased acreage.
SMITH COUNTY.
Tyleb, October 7.—The cotton production of
this county will without doubt reach 25,000 or
So,GOO bales. The farmers are lively engaged
In getting It picked, and at least 50 per cant of
Die ttaple has been gathered and housed, but
c nly a small per cent of t rat gathered has bee
mai kcted in tills countyon account of the low
price. The yield will be about 5 per cent less
than that of the year 1es6. By the first day of
decembei all of the cotton will be gathered
and a large per cent ginned and ready for
market.
SAN SABA COUNTY.
San Saba, October 7.—The cotton crop thU
yea", although a larger acreage, is not as good
as last year by one third, owing to tlra enttre
destruction of the top or fall crop by worms.
About one-half Is gathered In most ercellent
condition, and the probable yleidfor the coun-
ty will be 1250 bales against 1800 bales last year.
PAN AUGUSTINE COUNTY.
San Augustine, October 7.—The cotton crop
of this county is equally as good as last year
if not better. Condition excellent. If the

Hon. T. M, Smith Gored to Heath by an Infuri-
ated Bull.
|f Denton, Tex., October 7.—Hon. T. M.
Smith was killed at his residence a' L'wis-
ville, in this county, to-day by an infuriated
bnll. He was walking through th < It
where the bull was when he was ata;ked
by tbe vicious animal, which gored hica tu
the bowels, from which wound he died .a a
very few minutes. The news of (ha sad
afialr was received in this city with sorrow
by every one, as Squire Smith wa3 one of
tbe most exemplary and esteemed citizens
this connty ever had. He had been a resi-
dent of the county for twenty eight ya^rs
and had tilled a number o£ important posi-
tions of trust and honor. He was justice
of the peace for a number of ye.trf, an!
was a member of the Fifteenth legislature
from this county, and was a faithful and
neefnl member of that body. He was also
a member of the commissioners'coirt uutii
tbe last election, when he refused to be re-
elected, claiming that as he was 72 ye*rs
old he cnght to be released from farther
public service. No man in Denton con nfy
ever enjoyed the confidence and love of hi j
people moie fully than did Squire Suitu,
and his memory will be fresh in their hearts
for many years to come. He will be bar-
led at Lewisville to morrow with Masonic
honors.
