{PULSE OF WESTERN PROGRESS #A Local Combine Rouses Indignation in Wyoming and Utah. MORE LAND FOR THE ~ LANDLESS | Extent and Valae of Washington's Forests Mineral Developments on all Sides | | | Summary of the Week's Events ‘ in the Northwest, According to the census of 1800 the Rocky mountain group, consisting of the states of the Dakotas, Mon- tana, Wyoming and Colorado and the territories of Utah and New Mexico, | produced in 1880 a fraction over 5,000, | 000 tons of coal. Wyoming’s share of | the total was 1,388,047 tons and Utah’s | output tons. Tho coal area of the group is not known and is variously | estimated at from 100,000 to 200,000 gquare miles, but this is guess work. It is claimed coal can be found in | every county in Wyoming, and the | aron which coal underlies is esti- | mated at 19,000,000 acres. The prin- | elpnl working mines are in the vicinity | of Rock Springs, nearly all owned hy tho Union Pacific company. During | November the output of the mines ag greguted 0,000 carloads, equal to 100,000 tons. Coal mining on a smaller scale is carricd on at New Castle, Laramie and other points. The coal area in Utah 15 estimated at 2,000 squs tions have not been car: & large seale, owing to limited transpor- tation facilities, and the fuct that Rock prings coal hus the inside track to the ocal market. In both Wyoming and Utah there is an abundance of cheap fuel close at hand for all purposes for nges to come. | In view of this fact, it is astonishing to learn thut in towns contiguous to the mines and on the railroads, consumers | are obliged to pay for fuel almostas | much as the same fuel costs laid down in Omaha. The price of Rock Springs coal in Laramieis $5.60 per ton, or $1.40 less than in Omaha. The people justly com- | plain of this extortion, but are appa- rently unable to remedy the evil. A | tombine has been formed so that prices | are regulated by the managers rather than by cost of production and transpor- tation. milos. Opora- 1 forward on Sult Lake Ciyy compiains of like | extortionate treatment. Public in- Qignation against the coal com- bine reached a high pitch. Meetings have beon held and mensures consid red to loosen the grip of the extortione The most feasible plan considered is the orgunization of a company to build a conl road to the Coal- | ville mines or to Castle Valley, by means | of which the city’s fuel may bo obtained at a fair advance over cost, or $2.60 per ton, as agaiost 36 and §6, the present price. The shortsighted policy of the coal combine is damaging to the material prosperity of the people. Tho profes- sional desperado and highwayman sinks into insignificance when his deeds are contrasted with those of the combine. Under color of law, the members not only undermine the prosperity of a com- munity; they lay cities undér tribute and compel its payment as audaciously as the mounted high man in the sub- urbs of Chicago. The temper of the people is such that thoy will scon find & means to disrupt the odious combine. Settlors, The public domain is steadily widen- fng und Tndian rosorvations decreasing | in proportion. The Pawnees have | ceded their reservation of 300,000 acres pordering upon the territory of Okla- homa. and two-thirds of it will soon be offered f o by the government at B1.50 per acre of arable lund. A con- piderable ct on the San Juan river in Utah, which was reserved long ago for Tudians who would not live upon it, has been restored to the public dowain, and It will oon be invaded by miners. The government has completed negotia- tions with the Comanches, Kiowas and Apache tribes for the relin- guishment of their reser ions, which | embrace 3,000,000 acres in the Indian Merritory;” but this great body of land, which is fertile and well watered, will | pot be opened to settlors until 1894, In | gouthern Montana, nearly 2,000,000 | neres of land which' formerly belonged to the Crow reservation were declared open on the 15th of October, and many pottiers have taken up claims there within the past six wecks. In North | nkota, the Indian allotments on Jevil’s Lake reservation were made last morth, and the remainder of the reservation was put at the. disposal of the government, The commission appoiuted by Presi- dent Harrison to arrange a treaty with the Nez Perce Indizns, under terms which ceded a portion of that large res- ervation io Idaho and which may be thrown open to settlement, hascom- menced upon its task. Robert Schlei- cher of Lewiston, Idaho, has been chosen chaivman of the commission, which consists of three members, and he intends to bring mutters to a satis- factory conclusion as quickly as possi- bler An interpreter has bean secured and the chieftaina and tribal tyies are mnow being rounded up for a big council, The commission anticiputes no unusual difliculty in reaching an agreement with the redskins, who will be generously re- munerated for all the land they give up. Fort Hall reservation will next be thrown open to settlers, and then the Lembi reservation. | Land A Sawmill Country, The worle of stripping the huge for- ests of wostern Washington is going on ata lively pace. The lumber trade of the country, particularly along the sound, is enormous, and steadily grow- Ing. According to lato returus there are now 222 sawmills in wostern Wash- ington, with u daily aggregate capucity of 6,606,000 feet. If these miils were running full time, which would beabout | 250 days in the year, ullowing time for repairs and the annual overhauling of the mil s, the yearly output of the mills would be nbout 1,674,000,000 feet, and at that rate of cutting the present suppl of stunding timber would last over yeurs, but as.many of the larger miils do not run more than half the time and a | number of the spialler ones are shut down altogether, it is probable that the consumption does not reach more than | balf of that. Iu any event, even with a vastly increasod output, thore is enough | fir in’ western Washington, without any { | increase in the growth, to last till a | long way into the twenty first century and probably till its close.” 1t must also | be borve in mind that fir isa tree of rapia growth and isone of the lew ever- greens that reproduces itself. Where the trees huve been gone over and the | wailable timber has been cut years ago, n the ear'y duys of Puget sound, new | forests have sprung up and geod mor- | chantable timber is again ready for the ax of the logger. | The total amount of the standing timber in westeru Washington has been variously estimated by cruisers sent out by private firms and corporations and | shortly. | ture before it. | though somewhat ham | twelve months. | and exocuting | ensy distance of mountuins filled with | The cashier told the lad he would have | fitty acres of cane. by government experts at from 800,- 000,000,000 feat to 800,000,000,000 foet, and the experts’ report of the treasury on internal commorce for 1890, carefully estimated by counties, gives a total of 70,250,000,000 feet, or an average of about 23,000 feet to the acre on the whole of 25,010 square miles embraced in western Washington. At the prosent rate of stumpage, 75 conts a thousand, this represents a total value of over D00,000, but this price will undoubte be advanced very Lively Times at Sheridan, A special car from Omaha containing A. B. Smith, assistant general freight agent, Captain H. I Palmer, C. N. Deitz, H, F. Cady, Nat Brown and M orgoe W. Holdrege arrived in Sheridan, Wyo.,, the other day.

The Sheridan Land | company is building a $17,000 house. It | will contain sixty-three rooms and be heated by steam. Messrs. Kimball & Wallcer of Omaha drew the plans. This will answer until next yoar, when an elegant hotel with 150 rooms will be erected. The Sheridan Land company is and going to be a great factor in tho up- | building of the city. The members of the company are all prominent and well known men and are mapping out large and comprehen- sive improveme Besides building the hotel, they have graded in a first: class way several of the streets, changed the cousse of the Little Gooso creek and built « straight canal with bridges over it. They contemplate further improvements that will make their addition, which has 600 acres in i and embraces three sides of the town, the most beautiful and valuable prop- erty in the city. Sheridan is ana will be the supply point for 250 miles on every side.

Fred Novotny, a school district treas- uror in Hayes county, has been bound over to the district court on the charge of embezzling $171. He claims the cash was burned when his house met destruction and thinks the district should stand the loss. A 10-year-old Schuyler school boy named John Irwin found the bank de- posit book of a little girl and tried to draw 35 by presenting it at the bank. to have an order from his mother. He lelt the bank und soon returned with an o-dor, properly signed, for $4.78, which amount was given him. It was some days before trace of the culprit could be found, but Cashier Folda got his eye on him at last and he will probably be sent to the reform school.

Although Idaho’s bullion product for the year is not up to expectations much progress has been made. The quartz mining intorests are in a much more healthy condition than they were at this time last year, and the opinion that they ave permanent and rich has been proven good. The mining industry is rapidly growing. Reports from various districts are to the | effect that work is being carried on to a greater extont than at any time hereto- fore. New claims are proving profit- able, and the output of ore is on the in- crease. Tho addition of men in the Ceeur d’Alenes is of general importance in the workings of that region. Along the Coast.
