e R s SALT LAKE SIFTINGS. Hot Weather There the Past Two Weeks - A Good Out- look for Cropa. Railroad Building and Other Nows Notes. Correspondence of The Bee Oapes, Urai August 15.—The past two weeks hias been probably as warm weather ds ha Utah. The thermometer rienced in at times rose t the nights being cool, able to stand this heat better than in , but about 100 deg people wére places where hot nights follow ex cessively hot days. This intense heat has produced some sickness among children and old persons, but the mor- tality is remarkably small for a town the size of this, This week had some showers of rain, and now it is more pleasant, The coming of heavy egust is something entirely new in this valley. Rain does not usually fall here between the first of June and October, and the we have rains in showers of the past fow days is an- other evidence that our climate is undergoing a change. producing good crops of small grain, wero ten years ago it would have Deen impossible for the same class of grain to produce the most scanty growth without irrigation, and yet this class of dry farming is now spread over avery large extent of country. Between Ogden and Salt Lake City there is probably 100,000 bushels of wheat this season, which was grown on lands without irrigation, and which up to the past four or five years were desert, covered with a scanty growth of sagebrush, while the dry, sandy s0il secemed incapable of producing Lands are now crops, This land will next season be provided with means for irrigating. A diteh, having a base twelve feot wide, with sloping sides, is to take water from Weber river, in the canyon near Devil's Gate, and convey it to the bench-lands in the valley of the Great Salt Loke. This canal will carry water to the depth of three feet a distance of nine miles, and then be conveyed in smaller canals to various points, so a8 to irrigate twenty or thirty thou- sand acres of land and make it among the most productive in Utah. In the canyon n flume will have to be con- structed, requiring 250,000 feet of lumber. Of course such an enterprise requires the combination of capital, and this corporation is known as the Central Conal company. The question of water rights and irri- gation has always been of great importance in Utah, and constantly becomes of more impor- tance as the country is being settled up. Climatic changes will doubtless very much ralieve the necessity of irrigation, in time, as the rain belt is moving west and has already changed the arid plains of Western Nebraska and Eastern Wyoming to fertilelands, and clothed them with rich grasses. Nature seems to prepare the country for the habitation of man as fast as it n¥penrl necessary for the population of denser localitics to seck new hames in the wilds of America, It has ever been thus in this country, and we pre- sume will continue to be so until our entire domain becomes densely popu- lated with people, and lines of fast commuinication shall reach every plain, mountain and gorge. Railway rumblings are heard on, evéry side, and the various schemes now planned and in progress in Utah will, if carried out, soon make Utah noted for the extent of railways with- in the territory, In Salt Lake City a large three-story building is filled with oftices and drafting rooms for the clerical and engineering work of the Denver & Rio Grande railway company. It is made the western headquarters of this road, and within the past few weeks this larce build- ing was rented, and a_very large force of men put to work in the in- terest of the Utah branch of the com- pany. Papers have been filed cover- ing 2,370 miles of road which the company proposes to construct as rap- idly as possible, and which will be connected with their Colorado, New Mexico and Mexico system. The en- ergy displayed gives hope of an early completion of & ter portion of this system, and of our soon having an- other eastern outlet by this narrow guage road. 'J‘hucuuqéuny will have the line completed from Balt Lake to the Coalville coal mines this fall, and it is hoped that many months will not pass before the Pleasant Valley coal mines will supply Salt Lake with cheaper coal than the city has heretofore had, To the north of us railway building is being pushed by the Utah & North- ern in Montana, and parties in the in- terest of the Union Pacifie, the Cen- tral Pacific, the Utah & Wyomingand other companies are busily surveyin all the passes and looking up practical routes for railway lines all over this inter-mountainous country, so that the air is full of rumors of what is to be done in the near future 80 many men in Utah are away from home working on railway build- ing that there is a lack of labor for harvesting the crops. Citizens of Ogden had a rich treat the past week in the visit of the Salt Lake Tabernacle choir, which came here and gave a concert in Lester park, It is seldom botter music is heard than upon this occasion, ' The Ogden choir also took part and ac- qnitted themselves with honor, These Azswin lead the singing at all the services in the Tabernacles, Mormon churches, and are composed of persons well versed in music. On all occa- sions of friendly visits of singing clubs or bands between Salt Lake and Og- den, or other localities, cheap excur. sion rates are provided and people yo in great numbers, Buch exeursions are quite frequent during the summer and hl, Mining matters in Utah arg more buoyaut than for several years, and there is more activity in ‘r:o(mx. Good mines are changing at re- munerative , and we look for much brighter times for this class of industry, The Ontario mill produced its greatest yield for any one month in the past month- July. For the thirty-one days the forty stamp mill produced b!lllfin to the value of §203,- 704. . The mine is turning out about nine tons of milling ore per day, besides a largequantity of lower grade, which is piled on the dump for future working, The mill crushes about seventy-five tons per day. The mine is worked to the depth of 800 feet in one shaft, 600 feet in another, and a new shaft is now down 100 feet over which is to be placed hoisting works and pump ing machinery for working to a depth of 3,000 feet. A tunnel over one mile long has been started to run from the mill to the mines, in time the works at Park City, where the mine and mill are located will rival t} xtengive operations of Vir City in former times, should the tions of expert mining men Ogden will have her first rtz mill in o tion within a few s when the nature of our gold cres will be tested, s believed this place i8 soon to come into prominence as a mining centre, Lack of capital, and the fact that the mineral lies deep, has retarded pre in all mining tions near this city, but the labors of this season may change all this and bring capital to develop mines and erect mills here, The fruit crop in Utah this season is immense. Shipments are being made from Ogden to various points in Colorado, Wyoming, and to Idaho and Montana, Ogden is sending about fifteen car loads of potatoos to Colorado per week now, while that stata draws largely from us for flour and wheat, X, inii expeol be r ope From Wilsonville, Neb. Corresponpence of The Beo: Wirsosvinie, Neb,, August 16— The above named town is situated n the Beaver valley, twelve miles south- cast of Cambridge. Tt is not a large town but, like many other places in Nebraska, is a good place for one, and we believe yet if it had the inhabi- tance, capital, and houses it} might become a city of some importance. Like most towns on the .frontier it had its ““boom,” but after Cambridge was located on the B, & M. so near it the trade naturally drifted to the latter pl Mr, L. M. Wilson, the pioneer merchant, still keeps a well- assorted general merchandise store, and Moessrs. Bexroad & Wilson handle drugs and hardware, and Mr, Gardoer hus a blachsmith shop, A new M. E. church is being erected and will be completed before cold weather, But outside of the town the settlers can truly boast of the ost lands and vhe bost crops of any in the county. No place in the Re- publican valley did we see a more favoravle prospect for a good crop. The farmers in the pest fow years have had several failures, and conse- quently do not have enough faith in t\mir K\l)ur to putin their crops as they should be putin. Should our farmers in the East put their crops in 80 carelessly they would expect nothing but failure. We noticed that most of the corn had been plowed but once— at fartherest twice, and yet some of this will yield over thirty bushels per acre, f‘iml they have rowed their corn both ways and plowed it three times, they might as well have in- creased it ten bushels per acre at least. This section has had timely rains throughout the season, and to-night a rufrus!"ling rain is falling, which will insure corn to be a sure crop. The farmers are beginning to turn their attention to stock-raising. Mr, Thomas Gibson has just returned from Texas with a flock of seventeen hundred sheep, which are to be kept i the valley. Hay is found in abupn- dance along the Beaver bottom, and the uplands are covered with the short though nutritious buflalo grass, which well adapts this region for grazing, and which we believe in a few years will become the exclusive occupation of its inhabitants, Seran, Notes {rom Bell Correspondence of The Beo, Bew, Burier Co., NEs..

Notes From the Chiet City of the Southern Counties of Nebraska., Large Stock Interests Big Ime provements Going On, Beaturcr, August 15.—This city has better water power and better building stone than any other ii the state, Its churches, schools, mills, tors and its two rival lines of o all important factors in its ele railroad a solid prosperity Had T the time or space it would be half a dc 1t has grown from a on - columns y to write about Beatrice, pretty village to the commanding posi tion of the chief city of counties since your first told Tue Ber We love Beatrice hecause its people the southern correspondent readers about it, are whole-souled, enterprising and because its sur- roundings are charming. Here hill and dale, shady groves, rushing rivers and the more advanced beauties of a cultivated landscape delight the eye. THE SOIL withal refined, and is wonderful for its productive power, The railroad cuts demonstrate that its depth ics from five to fifteen feet, and it is rich as oil and black as a “‘nigger” minstrel. This loam has a clayoy subsoil, and taken all together it cannot bo beaten for farming pur- poses in the United States of America. FARM PRODUCTS, The crops, owing to the present season being exceptionally dry and hot, are fair to poc Some fields can be shown w corn will yield probably seventy bushels to the acre, but on the whole the products of Gage county, cattle oxcepted, will this year go so much below the average yield of former years, that the falling off is scarcely made good by the vaetly increased acreage, but THE STOCK INT are now the pride and glory of the Beatrico people. Why, who would suppose that this town, nearly two hundred miles from Indianola and the cattle ranches, was shipping east an average of 0 worth of cattle and hogs eve month, and yet Banker Smith assures me that such is the fact. - The wool clip of Gage county ag- gregates. half a million pounds and there are more sheep here than in any three other Nebraska counties Messrs, Hossick & Wyatt are car- rying on the feeding business on a large scale. Cattle men with heavy capital have found more profit in this business than in the precarious win- tering of vast herds on the bleak plains, where the percentage of loss is always considerable, and sometimes startling. RESTS HORSES, In a Beatrice stable T was shown four of the finest stallions belonging to one firm that can be found zny- where in_the west. Two were Per- cheron Norman; one was an im- ported animal, Renford, weight 1,750. See stud book, vol. 1, page 144, Such a horse as thisis worth a great deal to a new state like ours, where there is 80 much broncho blood in our low grade horses. Then there is nexta beautiful, pure, cream-white Arabian stallion, slender, graceful gad perfect in proportion, and so genfle, obedient and intelligent, that no lover of the horse could fail to admire him, Then the Clydesdale, a 1,600-pound beauty, with limbs that tell of giant strength. Wheeler & Wood own the four an- imals, and will exhibit them at the state fair, THE MENNONITES have now lived in this city vnd vicin- ity for four years, and everyone speaks B8 i in Lo Jelghant forma, Sober, industrious, peaceable, honest and wealthy, they are indeed rich ac- quisition anywhere, Some of the finest farms in Gage county now belong to these veople, all of whom are German, not Russian Mennonites. One of the largest lum- ber yards in southern Nebraska is owned by M, Wiche, one of the leading members of that church, and he is doing a big business with all clusses of people, IMPROVEMENTS, Tt wonld be uscless to attempt an itemization of them, Sufficoit to say that the fine brick and cut-stone structures of Beatrice will be nearly doubled this season. Mr. John Pan- ner with his cheese factory is succ ing finely and is turning out 1 pounds a day, all cream cheeso at that, He utilizes over seven hundred COWS. T don't know as hotel items ought to come under the head of improve- ments and yet that is sometimes the case, 80 here goes: The Pacific has ssed into the hands of Mr, W. P, Renshaw; further comment is quite unnecessary. POLITICR are getting warm around the court house for the old Paddock roosters have read some hieroglyphics on the wall beginning, ‘‘mene mene.” The people here are heartily sick of the ex- semator and all his political friends. He is rated here for what he is worth, These people know him. He served his n in the senate without ac- complishing one single thing that could dwrect] indirectly benefit Beatrice, a cypher ho was a greater success, if possible, than grandmothor Saunders, and every one outside of his own contracted ring re- joiced when Van Wyck was elected in his place. Like all ex-senators of the small bore pattern, ho is & beggar for the orumbs that fall from ofticial tables, “‘How are the mighty fallen?” There are soveral of his henchmen still inoftice. There is one (bass) Drum here that is always making a noise about dynamiting the respectable people of the town who won't worship at the Paddock shrine, This Drum is liable to be drummed out of the postoffice before he knows 1t if he continues o abuse his betters, LAND OFFICE, Some one is responsible for somec- thing queer at the land office here, In the olden {imes, when government land was everywhere instead of no where, s now the case, the officials wore obliged to pay clerks from pri vate funds that belonged to themselves individually, but now, when there is nothing for the officials to do, the 8. government pays a clerk one hundred dollars a month to do it Well, now I presume there are those who will “‘cuss” when they read this letter, but for their benefit T will say that T have « kind feclings for that genial gentleman Mr. Paddock I never, to my kno Age, met Mr. Drum, and T don’t know one Paddock member of the county rings, but, nevertheless, T have reason to believe that my imtormant spoke the truth, and 80 as a reporter, Treport. We have said much about lands, and written much about Beatrice, but have given no information that might aid a man in ascertaining the details, Schell & Beachly will answer all inquirier in d to lots or lan nd if-you uld come to this city and Mr. Beachly should take charge of you, there is nothing on earth that can be done to help you along that he will not do. For one wholo day Mr. Beachly devoted his time to help Tur BrE, simply becauso Tik Bek was a good paper and he liked it, and it would agood word for his town that might add a few more to the 3,000 that now have homes here.
