YHRILLING CHARMS OF THE FAIR CHELAN L Bubstance of the Bill Coding Ar Ripples from the 011 Field Tin Strike — Summary Northwoest News, e of Omaha enterprise ponotratas every section ©f the northwoest. Bvery city of prominence, @very aistrict of promising resources and every new town has its colony of Omaha men, who followed in the wake of the boom, ©ven to the shores of Alaska, A number of Omaha capitalists have suc- cooded in bringing into notice one of the most charming sections of centeal Washing- ton —the Lake Chelan rezion. The lake has @ character in itself very different and yot superior in attractiveness to any lake known on the continent. Atan elevation of bout $00 feot one can voard a steamer and Il for sevonty miles dircctly into the heart of one of our great runges of mountains. The tourist, ns he nears tho head of this lake, 1s surrounded by a panorama that is fairly bowildering, Th® mountains rise far above the timber line, and the lofty granite domes stand like great soutinels overlooking the bright waters in the foreground. Long stretches of pine, fir and cedar doco- rate the sides of the lower ranges, and here and there the gray rocks stand out in_ bold reliof, making n pleasing contrast. Decp- dark gorges, dashing, roaring streams of water Howing from distant melting snows, ploturesque waterfalls and the beautiful lako along whoso shores the cloar water reflects anew thuso scones, make this a spot attract- ive and captivating. Lako Chelan is about soventy miles long and is never covered with ice. It is doep its whole iength, Eor ten or twelve miles from the foot of this lake aro rich lands well adapted to frult culture. The climate is mild, in winter, the mercury rarely reaching zero, At the footof tho luke isa fine sourceof water power. The Chelun river, whicn flows from the lake, is three miles long and has a fall of over 300 feet in that distance, and the stream can be casily diverted and utllizea. The lake, covering an area of 140 square miles of water, forms a reservoir which acts as & perfect governor for the water power, The Omaha men have 400 ncres of land bere, and aro laying out a town ‘which will command the traffio of the lake, the rich mines and the agricultural products of the surrounding couutry, The Salt Luke Plan, Ono of the most important measures before congress 13 the bill prepared by the commit- teo on arid lands, which proposes to cede to the respoctive states and territories the arid lands within tho public dowain. The bill has not received the final touches of the com- mittee, but it will undoubtedly be reported 10 congress with its main features endorsed, The oill recites in substunce that in order to turn over and remit to the people of the states ana_territorios in which such aria lands are situatea all quostions relating to the irrigation of the samo and to save further expenditures of tne moneys of the United States thereon, and provides: ‘That subject to ail rights, inchoate or per- fected theroto, all the lands of whatever na- ture or description and rights thereto, 1n- cluding water rights, now belonging or ap- germlnlmx to the United States, lying and eing situated in the states of Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakotn, North Dakota, Mo tana, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, 1d. o, Colorado, Kansas and California, and in the territories of New Mexico, Arizona, Ok- lahoma and Utah, severaliy, with full and complete jurisdiction thureover, be grauted, coded and confirmed to said soveral states and territories, the grant to each of said states and torritories to he of the lands con- tained within its present boundaries and territoriat limits. ‘'ho bill further provides that the proesident shall issue lettors patent for the samo to tho several states and terri- tories designated whenovcr any of said states and territories shall, by av act of its legisla- ture, accept the disposition of the lands ns provided, within four years from the time of the approval of tho act. The act shall in no manner affect any of the lands held by the United States for parks, naval, military or othor public purposes, any Indian lands, nor lands neld in trust for use by Indians, nor mineral lands, nor shali itapply in any man- ner to the territory of Alaska. The governors of tho territories of Utah, Arizona, Oklahoma aud Now Mexico are re- quired within a reasonable time after the passage of the act to call special sessions, 1f need ve, of their several legislatures to pass upon the provisions of this act ana tho ques- tions submitted to them.- No state or terri- tory accepting the cession of lands shall in any case sell, lease or dispose of the lands in greater quantity than 160 acres to any one person, corporation or association, nor shall any such state or territory in any manuer impair or abridge the tomestead privileges now grauted to soldiors and sailors under tne land laws of the Unitea States. The OIl Regions, Another spasm of development bas broken out in central Wyomiog oil tields. Prepara- tlons are under way for active spring work in the vicinity of Bonanza. A Pennsylvania company is pushing work on a well in the Casper fleld. Another company has machin- ery on the ground to sink a well in the Pow- der river fleld. The Big Horn company, op- erating north of Bonauza, suddenly’ sus- pended operations recouily for reasons un- known, although the drill had reached oil- bearing sand at a depth of 1,000 feet. A Donver paper reports that experts sent out by foreign capitaiists made a favorable report on the Wyomirg oil fields, ana that a large wad of English and French money will so0n find its way into the state, ‘The Denver pi lino scheme has been re- vived. The syndicate is said to own or con- trol $0,000 acres of o1l lands, It is reported In Salt Lake that the Stand- ard Oil company is teying to secure control of the adjacent gas and oil lands by attack- ing the titie to the land, throwing it into the courts and freezing out the present owners. Another Tin Strike. According to local papers a rich tin strike + was made in the vicinity of Ogden, U. T., by a mysterious prospector from Colorado, The tin location is witbin u half mile of the city limits tothe east, and samples of the rock have assayed as high as 95 per cent tin, ‘The vein is between side walls pleven feot apart, the whole vein consisting of tin-vear- iug rock. This is an extremely large vein and the richness of the rock is astonishing. The finding of these minerals so close to Og- don will surprise nearly every resident of tho city, but 1t certainly shows that Ogden is just’ at the mouth of hundreds of tunnels which can be put into the mountan side, striking ore of many kinds almost at the sur- face—gold, silver, lead, copper, tin and coal have now been found in good quantities ‘within a dozen miles of the city, and it would not be at all surprising 1f Ogdon should be- cowo at an early date o great mining camp, taking out from the mountains all these min- orals in great abundance, Petition for u Purk, Residents of northeastern Washington are irculating a petition praying congress that the fine forest and wountain country in the nelgtiborhood of Lake Chelsn be sot apart by the United States for the purposes of a wational park. The petitioners say: “We @re wholly influenced in this request by a dosiro to perpetuate the greut beauties of the region referred to, which presents scenery of a more varied, beautiful and artistic na- ture than is to be found anywhere else in the ploturesque northwest ; and to preserve the deer, the elk and the wountain goats found therein that are fast disappearing from American mountains, The lana described s mostly mountainous, many of the peaks rising toa height of 7,000 feet from the water's edge. Fraudulont clations, ‘The bank commissioners of California bave issued @ voluminous rovort exposiug the fraudulent operations of national building sud loan mssociations iu that state, The Facific States association of San Francisco did & business last year of $254,000 at an ex of $19,06l. Tho liabilities exceoded be assets. The commissioners say the as- “ociation is & bonanza for the managers ana | hunters discovered the cor| tion of the same city earned last year 3,364, but the expenses wore #,619. A [.os Angeles association divided §15,047 in “expenses” in six months, Others are operated ona like extravagant hasis. In.conciusion the com- missioners say: *‘While so-called ‘local’ building and loan associations offer to their patrons the advantages of co-oporation, the so-called nationals, although identi: cal In purpose, em to deprive their patrons of the very objects for which buildiug and loan associations are organizea, Strictly speaking, the national building and loan associations of California are apparently organized and conducted for tho benefit of the managers, whose promises to their patrons ars very vague and wheso methods are illagitimate. Their mothods of aavortising aro misleading and _decentive, and tho words “savings bank’ isa public misreprosentation. Tho mothods of the na- tionals cannot bo commended and 1n almost evory case the managers reap the golden harvest, A Montana “F A Montana correspondent of a St. Paul paper spoaks of a big meteor which lately fell in that stato, and which “‘drove itsoif 200 feot into the ground, but still sticks up 100 feet in the air and emits sulphurous fumes that poison the air for miles around.” As though this were not suMciently sensational, the sccount goes on to say that ‘“‘in its fall it buried from sight forovor a cattle shed con- taining forty cows and two Chinamen." This terrible meteor would seem 1o be much “meatier” than any one which has hitherto fallen, even in the west.

According to the Sidney Telegraph there will be a sufficient area of wheat sown this spring to wipe out every dollar of farm mort- gage indebtedness in Cheyenne county. Judge Crawford of West Point has come out in & card declining to be a candidate for congress on tho democratic ticket. The judge is 80 afraid ho might bo named that ho concludes with the statement that he wouldn't even accept a certificate for a seat in the house. Miss Florenco Crosser, a bighly respected young lady, daughter of Silas Crosser of Murray, left home last wcek in company with Darius Dutler, son of ex-Governor But- ler. The destination of the young couple is not known, but that it is a clear case of elope- ment, with matrimonial intent, is not doubted by any oneacquainted with the facts. Miss Crosser formed the acquaintance of young Butler while attending sckool at Shenandoah, Ia., about & year ago, and had kept upa cor- respondence with him until about two weeks since, when he came to Mvurray, remaining until his sudden departure. When Vic Watkins returned from Colo- rado to his old home in Western last week his friends failed to recoguize him at first on account of a thrilling experience he had re- contly in & miue explosion. The miners, he among them, had stopped work Saturday night and left a slow fuse burning to a charge of powder, expecting it 1o go off be- fore Monday morning. As ill-luck would have it the chargo had not gone off, aud Vic, who is of an investigating turn of mind, grabbed up & pick and commenced to Inves- tigute, whon suddenly the explosion came, and as a result ¥icis minus an eye and has other facial disfigurements which are his pride—and he only wonders how he escuped belng killed. The murderof the little Leavitt girls near Gresham several years ago has been recalled by the lynchiog in Missouri of Dick Cullen, who was suspected of killing the children and who was arrested and brought back to Nebraska when the Leavitt murder was being investigated. Dick, however, proved an alibi to the satisfaction of the coroner’s jury and was discharged. Recently he was arrested, together with his mother, at Marsh- field, Mo., for the murder of a child. Cullen’s raother was married to 8 mau named Shaw, and the child bad lived with them since in- fancy. Suaw was desirous of legally adopt- ing the boy, who had reached the age of b years, but this did not meet with the ap- proval of Mrs, Shaw or Cullen, One morning the little fellow was missing and the ueigh- borhood was aroused. Ou search the body of the child was found ina well near the house with a railroad coupling link fastened 10 its neck by a wire. Cullen and Mrs. Shaw were arrested forthe crimo, anda the evidence bofore the coroner's jury was very strong ugainst Cullen, He was held for trial, but as the faocts became known the peoplé be- came roused to great indignation, 0 that bars and balls could not hold him and a mob took him from the juil and hung bim. He protested his lunocence to the last, but there seemed to be no question that he was guilty. Many peopie 1n Seward and York counties, says the Seward Reporter, still be- lieve that Cullen murdered the T.eavitt girls and regret his summary taking off. They think that he might have confessed that crime bad he beeu tried and punished accord- ing to law. Under present clrcumstancos, if the theory that Cullor was guiity of the Leavitt murder be true, the facts can never be known, and that horrible affair must re- main, as it always bhas been, an impenotrable mystery.

Never select sandy soil or land that has had any manure cn it for at least a yeur pre- vious to planting. Neither should tnero be any location selected where thore have been any sheep pastured. As soon as the grain is cut in the early summor the ground should be plowed about two inches deen, allowing vogetation to startand then early in Sep- tember the plow should be put down deep turning the ground under nineto twelve inches; this insures not only a clean piece of ground for the farmor during the coming season, but as tho sugar beet, to be rich in sugar, must o down deep, it ot only yields rich beets but large tonnage is thus obtained. Tho groat mistake of most farmers has been shallow plowing, thus preventing tho beet from growing down and causing it to Rrow ®bOve ground, that part, which 80 grows being entirely unfitted for the manufacture of sugar and containing differ- ent kinds of =alts, which make it impossible 1o extract the sugar, honco tho great neces- sity of deep plowing. Aftor the ground has beon properly plowed it should be harrowed and then carefully planked, getting it 1 as fine and pulverized a condition as possible, which makes it all the better for tho work- g of the seeder aud cultivator which has lately been introduced in the market, both of which do about ten acres a day. After finishing seeding, which is done with a seeder that does four rows atv a time, planting the boets from sixteen to twenty inches apart, and wheu they aro well up, having four or five leaves, they should be gone through with a hoe and bunched, after which they can be thiuned out, being careful to leave only a single plant about every seven icches, otherwise the boets will entwine around each other and amount to notbhing. The beets will be fouud to grow very rapidly after they bave been thinned and should be gone through with & horse cultivator so as to keop the weeds down. T'his can be dono about three times, when it will be found that the leaves are so large that they will entirely cover tho grouud and the crop is then ready to lay by. Great care should bo used in not harvest- ing the crop until it 1 cortain that it 1s ripe, as the beet is like other fruits which pass through certain chemical changes as they come to maturity, taking on their richest sweotness just before-thoy are ripe; hence tho great importance .to the farmer to be sure that his crop has Tully matured before harvesting. The leaves will turn a light vellowish green, many of the lower ones drying up, which 1s a sign_that they are ripening, it taking about four to four nnd a half months after planting for them to mature. If thero is auy doubt existing in the mind of the farmer as to whether his crop is ready to harvest or not, by taking an average sample of three or four boets and sending them to the factory by muail they can always be an- ulyzed and their condition ascertsined. Never harvest beets after a heavy rain, and never bo alarmed during the summer when the hot days will cause the leaves to wilt and lay down on the ground, this being an unfailing sign that the beets are taking on sugur speedily. The most desiruble weather for beet culture is an early spring, & bot July and August, with an oc- casional shower and a dry September; damp, cold weather will probably groducu a large tonnage, but invariably ine beet is poor in sugar. Harvesting Is done most economically by the use of a scuffle hoe, which can be usea while standing in an erect position, and a good man can easlly take tho tops off of about anacre a day, after which a beet puller drawn by a team of horses will pull the beets up and lay them on top of the ground ut the rate of about two to three acres a day. It is believed that this coming fall an im- plement will be in the market whereby the beet can be 10pped, taken out of the ground and thrown into a wagon, which 18 the only implement now necessary to practically do away with much, il not alf haud labor. ‘A liberal statement of the cost of planting an acre of beets is as follows: Plowing. per acre, 10 inchos deep Harrowing, per acro Planking. per acre Cost of seod, peracro Seeding same, per Rolling, per acre .. Bunchingz with a hoe Thinning out the bunches Cultivating (three tinos, o) Cutting the tops off with & soufllo hoo Pulllug beets with horse beet puiler. We atlude to Instruc! Total cost of beets r into the wagon... It is estimated that an average crop is fifteen to eighteen tons; depends entirely on how far the beots have to be hauled, or whether they will have to bo shippea by rail or not, as to’ how much 1t costs to got them to the factory. The farmer, however has to deliver his “corn or other products of the farm, 50 this item dopends entirely on cir- cumstances. It is believed that with proper attention five acres of well attended beots, with a fav- orable season, will yield to the producer more than sixty acres of corn. As high as 303 tons have been produced in California on five acres or a little over sixty tous to the acro; this, however, is very exceptional, but tak- ing 'tho orop as yielding fifteen tons per acre, with the high price paid now for beats, ivis reaaily seen whata reinunorative crop this can be made, while with a favorable season and high percentage of sugar, the fig- ures will materially change in favor of the producer. Several of the very best market gardeners and furmers surronding our city have al- ready contracted with the Douglas County Beot Sugar association, . in accordance to the plan set forth in thesd columns some weeks siuce, and it is now tiearly an assured fact that the entire achgage will be entirely taken up. Too much care in the proper selection and preparation of land=HWd cultivation of this experimental crop cennot be exercised, as the result obtained meaps a great deal in the way of obtaining a fActory in the vicinity of Omaha.

MARCH 7, 1892 NEBRASKA'S MAIL SERVICE What it Costs to Accommodate the Poople of the State, EXCEED THE RECEIPTS WHY EXPENSES Henvy affle In Through Mail Charged to the Loeality Throug the Trank Postoflice Showing, Matter Which Lines Pass—Omaha's Wasnivaroy, D, C., March #.—[Special to Tur Bee)—The officials of the Postoftico department havo prevarod some interesting and instructive information relating to the operations of the postal systom in Nebraska. The most aoticeable feature in this prasenta- tion, and it requires an explanation at the start, is tho large oxcess of the postal ox- ponditures over the postal receivts, the deficiency crodited to Nebraska being much over a willion dollars, This deficiency is principally duo to the large amount paid for the transportation of the malls, in which the pooplo of tho state aro but partially interested, as the depart- mont in its methods of bookkooping charge Nebraska with its quota of the amounts paid for the carriage of the hoavy ‘‘through mails.” There1s no way of getting at tho precise sum so expended, but, with tho many trunk railvonds passing over tho torritory of the state, it must bo of sufficient sizo to nearly, if not entirely, wipe out the accred- ited deficioncy. But to roturn to tho figures aud facts local to Nebr Nome Interesting Figures. Tho total postal recoipts in the state last year amounted to #1,011,760.17, while the total expenditures reached the sum of 2,217 54,85, making tho oxcess of oxpenditures over receipts §1,205,9M4. 1 Of course iv can easily bo understood that, locally considored, 10 stich deficioncy is charjzoableto Nobraska. Of course the main relianco of tho postal rovenues is the salos of postage Stamps, stamped envelopos and postal cards, which brought in &145,34 I°rom box rents thero woro secured $5,345.04, und oven tho sales of wasto_paper yielded tho small sum of #2.41. As ulroady indicated the largest sin- xlo item of expendituro was by far for the transporiation of tho mails, the sum thus credited to Nobraska having been §1,538,- “Would youknow why with pleasure Qur faces so beam?

Law Proposed for Primas El lons as Propared by the Lincoln Club. The Lincoln club has been working for somo time upou the preparation of a law to govern primary elections. The result of their efforts was presented for discussion at the mocting of the county ana city ropubli- can central committoes on Suturday. Whilo satisfactory in tho main, some points of tho oroposed law did not meet with general ap- proval and tho matter was referred to a com- mitteo to report at the next meeting. Following is the law as proposed by the Lincoln elub: ARTICLE [—PREPARATION OF POLLING LISTS, foeotion Tho contral comuitt of republican party of tho eity of Omulin or al committee of Douglas county, as v o, shiall prepare a 1ist of tho ro ors of sajd city, a sey for cach ward of the city. T in the first Instanc 046.26. This itom will bo analyzed further along. Thore wero paid to postmasters as com- pensation §342,550.31, and for clorks in post- offices, rent, fuel and light, 30 ). Tho lotter carriers recoived 370,01 and the railway postofiico clerks raning on the lines through the state got SI¢ .03 also, it might be added, a just charge to mail trans- portation. For Mall Transportation, Some idea ot how enormous are the ohargos for vhe transportation of the mails in Ne- braska may be held from the following com- parative statement of the receipts and ox- penditures for the last couple of vears: Total receipts in 1800, $)! $1,011,760.17; penditures in 1800, §1 754,35; increase, $14, J Now comes the place where, from tho figures given, it can readily be seen Why 2,917, | such a hoavy deticiency is charged against Nebraska. ~ The total length of all mail routes in Nebraska is 12,252 on at an annual expense of §' this the star routes tako in 5,255,583 miles, the exvenditures for this essentially local seryico being only 38,304,154, The railroad mail lines 0.44 miles long, the first cost of which 5,338.57, to which must bo added for railway postofilce cars $144,303.45, making 1n all for the railroads, $1,459,697.02. Interior Service Very Expensive, The star service was reduced 122.35 miles during the year, and the cost curtailea $700,172.. But with an extension of 232.18 miles in the railroad mail lines the expendi- tures wont up $407,170.93. The total number of postoffices 1n Nebraska is 1,127, an in- crease of twenty within the year, the num- ver of new offices established having been fifty-one, while thirty-one of thosein opera- tion were discontinnted. As for the post- masters, 102 resigned, thirty-four were re- moved and five died. While there are over 1,100 postoftices in the state, comparatively few of them contribute the bulk of the postal revenues. These are the presidential postoffices, with Omaha at their head, so termed because the salary at- tached being at least$1,000 the postmaster is commissioned by the president. 'The pres- 1dential postoffices 1n Nebraska are eighty- five in number, and the following statistics apply to them: Gross receipts, $685,350.17; salaries of postmasters, §120,578.04; clerk hire, $88,488.37; rent, lights and fuel, $21,- 742.87; other incidental ex penses, $1,348.04; free aclivery service, $79,000.16: total ex- nses, $201,167.13; net revonuo, $394,192.04. e expenses were only 42 per cent of the gross receipts. Bonds of Postmasters. Liko others, the postmasters of Nebraska are under bonds for the faithful performance of duty, the total amount thecoof beiug $2,- 408,500, The people of the state use the rog- istry system liberally, as can_be seen from the following: Domestic registered letters mailed last year, 131,013; parcels, 11,83; foreign registered letters malled, 7,15 cels, 1,018 free registered matter, total, 190,057; feos received, $15 . The money order system is a distinct branch of the postal establishment and its statistics have nut been included in the above statement. Theyare of interest, however, as can bo seen from the following, which shows the extent of its operations in Ne- braska: Domestic money orders issued,223,- 036, the face value of which was §1,631,45 and the fees thereon $16,1:20, Postal notes issued, 199,041; amount, #307,817.76; fees, $5,978.55. Iuternational money orders issued, 5,235; amount, $70,807.96; fees, $016.30, Do- mestic money orders paid, 145.311; amount, $1,501,003 postal notes paid, 112,801; amount, $195,652.47; international money or- ders puld. 2,150; amount, $75,550.86, Of the 1,127 postofticas in Nebraska there are 050 oftices that return no revenue to the goveru- ment, as the receipts are all absorbed by tho compensation of the postmasters. This is not i large percentage, however, when con- trasted with other states. Altogether, Nobraska makes a creditable exhibit in thé operations of the postal sys- tem. N Dr. Birney,nose and tnroat.
