FROM OCDEN. | - i Some of the Quaint and Expres- give Phrases Used in the Groat West, Warm During the Past Three or Four Weeks, Colorado a Good Market Utah Wheat gr.ssing in Utah, Unusually Weather for Mining Pro- Other Notes and Items of Interest Corroapondence of The Oupes, August 1, 1881 west has become noted for quaint and The great expressive phrases which has been | coined by the rough element of this who great plaing and lived amid the moun coast—men have crossed the tains, have gone through hardships and privations and met with incidents weli adapted for the paoduction of language as has become among the masses. ly days of California some one coined the expression **You bet,” he did not suppose it would become 80 common and be spoken by 80 many people. The miner and prospector, as he dered through the hills and followed the circuitous valleys and narrow passes, prefixed names to these places a8 “‘guiches” and “canyons,” until al- most every canyon and gulch hadbeen dubbed with some odd name, which forever afterwards will designate the locality. The mountaineer after yoars of western life finds himself lost in an castern metropolis, and fails to meet his engagement on ll]'rlmffl. time, but is not at a loss to givea decided reason for his delay, because of ‘“‘getting lost among the box canyons.” How ex- pressive of the circuitous strects of that city? What a comfort it is to say to the bore or blockhead, ““You make mo tired,” or to the spinner of long and and pointless stories, *‘Print it,” or “You had better rent 2 hall.” Terse and pointed remarks like that of the man who said “‘I did not fight him, but had he come a step farther the doctors would have thought when they dissected him that they had struck a new lead mine,” are quite common among miners. How expressive are the sayings, ‘‘He is a gashed vein and has pinched;” He shows well on the common When in the ear- wan- surface but there is nothing in his lower levels;’' « “He don't assay worth anythin He who lacks courage is in western parlance devoid of “grit” and has no “‘sand.” Men who roughed in the early days on the Pacific coast are called " *‘old- timers,” (and when they die it is not uncommon for their associates who used to while away the long hours of camp life with them in games, to speak of their taking off, as their having ‘‘passed in their checks.” Those who have toiled through the anows and braved the dangers of cros- sing great . mountain ridges have coined a style of expression upon the death of an old friend which to them is fuller of meaning than the plainsman can real- ize. ‘‘He has gone over the range” sumsMt all up and lands the traveler in that bourne whence we are all traveling. ‘‘We planted hi” havin; been coined in Nevada has been use by the rougher class all over the west. Each state and territory on the Pacific slope has its pe- culiar phrases, and thore are many common to all the great. Utah has in use some expressions never heard from any person who has not resided there. It you are told there was “quite a few” you are left with as much doubt as to the number as it your question had never been asked, and yet Utah people insist in using the expression almost constantly. It would take a volume of no small di- mension to enumerate all these odd and quaint sayings which are so com- mon that we pay little notice of them, During the past three or four weeks we lllVl!%lld very warm weather, in fact unusually warm for thisy valley. The bathing in Great Salt Lake has become so popular that thousands of people avail themselves of the cheap rates of transportation to the different bathing places along its shores. At Lake Shore, a place betweon Ogden and Salt ke, tho water registered the past few days a temperature of 98 © , while the quantity of saline matter in solu- tion reaches over twenty per cent, This great briny lake is a source of great wealth, and becomes more im- portant each year in consequence of the increased demand for salt for use in silver mills. Shipments in car load lots are being lum‘o almost ¢.n- stantly to various parts of Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Colorado, Besides the twelve to twenty thousand tons drawn from that source the past year. There is several deposits of salt in the mountains in southern Utah, which gield laxge quantities, it being quarried or mined for use in silver mills, Mining is making considera- ble progress ia Utah, and we antici- pate greater activity in this locality soon. A stamp il will soon be operation on the Silver Chief mine, which ~ promises well, and the success of that property will canse all the others to rapidly fall in lineasore producers, Utah fruits and vegetables ars being sent to market at a rapid rate, Pota- toes, caboagee, onions and fruits are sent away from Ogden by the car load, and the awount going to Denver, Leadville aud other Colorado cities would indicate that Colorado isan ex- cellent market, and produces a scanty supply for its large popula- tion. Hundreds of carloads of J wheat find & market in Colorado, where it is manufactured into the best of flour, while our local mills lhi%» flour in car load lots to them. This has become & prominent market for wool and hides, which are shipped east to be manufactured. The electric light has proved a success for use in the stores and for street laps, but the intended system of thl!ng the eutire city by hunlu ona high tower was 80 much of a failure that it has been abandoned, for the present at least. The waterworks company have in nine thousand feet of piping and | expect to tap Ogden river within the next cight days, and have water through a portion of the city with a head of two hundred fi Ogden river is supplied by springs and eams from meltingsnows and hence the water is pure and cool, il very suitable for supplying the city. A franchi has | been given for a street railway in our | ward its construction.

Special Correspondence of Tk Bre. | 81 Pauvi, N August 2, 1881, — That which interests peeple most just now is the securing of the har- | vest, which is progressing finely with the favorable weather we are having The people of the Loup county are reaping one of the finest harvests we have ever had., With few exceptions the crop cf small grain is good, and the corn crop is first simply immense: With the fine vrop of all kinds of grain, our people are greatly encour- aged and all kinds of business is on the boom, of the general prosperity of our farmers is that good substantial frame louses and barns, are taking the places of sod structures of earlier days. Our village is getting quite a build- ing boom, principally in the enla One of tho best signs ment of our business houses to meet the wants of the increase in trade. A small ripplo of excitement was caused by one of Howard county's prominent citizens (who, by the way, 15 & widower of a fow \\'U\'fin] eloping with his second cousin, Last evening the happy couple returned, and to show that their conduct was fully ap- yr«cintod, they were met at the depot )y the juveniles of the town with tin- pans, horns, cowbells and other like musical instruments, and escorted to the hotel. L. K. — Hartmann, the Nihilist. Washington Special to Cincinnati Commercial Your correspondent called upon the first assistant secretary of state for in- formation relative to the possible ey tradition of Hartmann, the Russian nihilist. Tn answer to a question as to whother the agitator would ho given up if demanded by Russia, this gen- tloman said: “We have no extradi- tion treaty with Russia, but there is an unwritten law of nations that pro- hibits one country’s harboring a crim- inal who has committed an act which the world recognizes as a crime against society. One nation may consider an act a crime that another does not. For example, Spain might regard a man a criminal for an act against re- ligious rites or customs which we woulgsnot, and we would not give him up if demanded. The allegation must first be of a character that the nation where he has taken refuge re- gards as punishable, and then . it must be clearly established. The de- cision of a court in a foreign country is not enough, but the full record orthe evidonce must be submitted; and thenit is in the discretion of our judi- ciary to do what the facts warrant. After a criminal has been delivered he must be tried for just the misdemean- or for which he has been taken, and for no other, A man can not be ap- prehended for theft, for example, and | then be put on trial for murder, with- | out first being allowed a month in which to leave the the country, ii he wants to,"” *“What is to hinder the authorities of a country doing what they please with a man when they once got pos- ion of him, Self-interest is the only thing, but that is sufticient. Experience has shown so often that one nation can not afford to do an act against inter- tional law thata government hesi- tates before doing anything to creute the least jar. The interests are 8o far-reaching that no man is worth the violation of the usage of nations, France, the other day, went into a very questionable proceeding in Tunis, and since it happened it has been quoted no less than five times in cases that have come up, as an argu- ment to prove that France would not keep h r Ylml;(uu. A nation can not afford to do things that will cast sus- picion upon its honesty of purpose.” “Suppose, then, to come down to the case in point, that Russia should demand Hartmann's veturn?’ was asked, *‘Russia would have to show very clearly that this man had committed a crime against society of such a charac- ter as is abhorred and punished the world over. It would have to be shown very clearly indeed that this is the man, to secure the desired consid- eration.” ———— A Baptist Minister's Experience, Tama Baptist minister, and before 1 even thonght of being a clergyman, | duated in medicine, but left lucrative ico for wy present profession, ten ago, 1 was for many years a suffer. from quinsy; “Thowas’ Eclectric 0il cwred me,” as also troubled with hoarseness, and Thomas' Be'ectrie O al. ways relieved me.

The Necessity of a Railroad Con- nection Between Southern Nebraska and Colorado (learly Showi, The Froducts of Southern Ne- | braska Could be Sold in Colcrado as Wellas in Chicago, And the Cost to [the Shippers Would be the Same | PrecLo, € August 1, 1881, — Permit me to call your attention to the relations of the B. & M. railroad and southern Nebraska to Colorado. In looking over theimmense amount of produce shipped to this state over the Union Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroads, one can but feel that Nebraska should have a better chance here, As it is now we have ne access to these splendid mar- kets, but must ship everything to Chicago. & Rio Grande are putting three rails on their track so that B. & M. cars canrun from Denver to this point. Now Denver and Pucblo seent to be the gates tothe mines —great distributing points, and what we want is to get at them, Now the B. & M. has stopped in the Re- publican valley where the business amounts to but little, let them push on to Denver, and they can load heavy trains with supplies, This would be of great advantage to both sections of the country. Go out on to the streets and inquire the price of produce. Corn 80 to 90 cents; hay $18.00 to 824.00; potatoes 3 to 4 cents per pound, 1 shipped from Califor- nia at that, The great staples are from one-third to one-half higher at these distributing points than at Chic- ago. Now it will cost no more to ship lmulucu from Lincoln or Hastings to Denver, than it will to Chicago, so it is easy to see that southern Nebraska isloosing heavily by this delay, and this is not all. Tmmense mines of coal of the finest quality are now open- ed, equal to the famous Wyoming coal, and T understand that immense beds of antracite or - hard coal have been discovered at easy distances from Denver. This being the case, we can have our supplies from that point instead of going 1,000 miles east forit. Noristhis all. There is a great tide of health and pleas- ure seckers pouring into these resorts If there were a direct route visiting the Rockies would be to western peo- ple what visiting the Alps will be to the dwellers of the Atlantic coast and these pleasure resorts should be as accessablo as possible, Men and wo- men of Nebraska are sadly overworked and need recreation. The mountains are the nearest recruiting places, and the people all along the B. & M. must have direct communication. T believe it would pay the railroad company to bring Lincolu and Denver nearer to- gether. Colorado, with her immense wealth, is in her infancy. Her re- sources are amazing. A wealth of coal and | iron beyond computation; new wines are opening every day; the rush of immigration is tremendous and it is due Nebraska, with her fer- The Denver tilo fields and vast products, that she at least have the chance to be neigh- borly with her sister state] C. 8. ARRISON, Kansas Alarmed. Special to the St. Louls Republican, ArcHisoN, KaN., August 1.—Pur- suant to call, delegates from all parts of the State assembled at Turner Hall in this city this morning to form a German-American Tmmigration So- ciety for Kansas. A permanent or- gamzation was effected by the election of Robert Farbegger, of Atchison, as President; Alferd Meyer, John Wol- ruff, of Lawrence, and George Lanber, of Topeka, Vice Presidents; John Hoenschidt; of Atchison, Secretary; C. F. Goodrich, Correspondent Secre- tary; Oscar Jansen, Treasurer, and August Hohn, of Marysville; Dr De- hoy, of Parsons; F. Junkerman, of Wichita; J. M. Rothenberger, of Leavenworth, and Lambert Willsaedt, of Atchison, as Board of Directors, A platform was adopted declarin that the prohibition amendment ha turned all foreign immigration away from Kansas, to the serious injury of the growth and prosperity of the state; that the agents of other states had used this fact to prejudice emi- grants against Kansas, and that this state offered unusual inducements in her soil, climate, cheap lands and other advantages to industrious and economioal people to obtain homes. The platform further pledges the society to assist emigrants to Kansas to obtain employment and homes and to protect them against fraud. Tt de- mands, mn conclusion, a repeal of the constitutional amendment and the prohibition law, The delegates in attendance were all Germans and they rep: ted a very large number of the counties of the state and great interest was mani- fested. In the evening the Turners gave a complimentary concert to the delegates, The next annual meeting of the so- | ciety is to be held in Topeka in Au- | gust of next year, — No Good Preaching.
