A A THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1894 -_—_—— ECHOES FROM THEANTE ROOM OPPORTUNITY FOR OMAHA What Would Be Gained by Trading with the Puget Sound People, HOW AN OLD NEBRASKAN LOOKS AT IT Direct and Profitable Exchanges Could Be Established that Would Greatly Enhance " Commercial Intorests at this Point g =The Promising Tndustries, PR LA - » John P. Hartman, a prominent lawyer and banker of Tacoma, was in the city a few days ago. Mr. Hartman was once a res- fdent of Nebraska, having spent eightcen years of his life in Kearney. Several ye: ago he removed to the state of Washington, and now almost all of his interests are in that state, He is on a trip to the cast, and he stopped over in this city to open the eyes of the jobbers of Omaha to the trade that Is open to them in th state that he represents, There are a number of tries In the country about Puget which are still in their infancy, but which Mr. Hartman is very enthusiastic There Is no reason In the world, Mr. Hart- man thinks, why the products of these in- Qustries should not be exchanged for the industries of this state, and thus a very advantageous trade be opened up between the two states, “Some time indus- sound over ago” said Mr. Hartman, “it would haye been impossible to start such a trade, but now the Burlington has ex- tended its line to Billings, where it col nects with the Northern Pacific, thus mak- ing, practically, a through line between Puget sound and Omalia. An agreement has been entercd Into by the two roads by which a rate has been made. This rate is the same to all Missouri river points. This gives Omaha Jobbers access to a territory that they should not overlook The exchange of Nebraska corn and its products for the lumber and other products of the Puget sound country would be mutu- ally advantageous to both states. As it is now, St. Paul and Minneapolis are obtaining fully oneshalf of the trade of the state. The freight rates on the lines that now connect Puget sound and Omaha would not be greater than on the single Northern Pa- cific line that connects that country with St. Paul and Minneapolis. “The greatest industry which the Paget sound ocuntry possesses, but which is still young, is the lumber industry. I do not know how large the timber district is, but it is fully 300 miles long and 200 wide. This is very thickly covered with trees fhat are over 100 feet in height. The trees are chiefly Washington fir, which is in many ways adapted to take the place of oak. It is fully as strong and is about one-third lighter. The lumber is made from this, and from its lightness is, of course, much cheaper to transport than oak. Then, we are beginning to ship an_enormous amount of shingles. They are made from cedar, the wood of which fs much more durable than pine. During the first year of the shingle industry, in 1889, 16,000,000 shingles were shipped away. Up to the present time thi “year 1,600,000,000 shingles have been shipped, With the prospect that (he number will reach 2,000,000,000 before the end of the year. FISHING INDUSTRY IMPORTANT. “Another industry which is still in its in- fancy, but which will in time become great, is the fishing. The Japan current runs north to the Aleutian islands, and then turns back down_ the American coast right into Puget sound. The water Is cooled by the floating icebergs in the north, so that its temperature in the sound is betwe:n 40 and 45 degrees, not rising above the latter point even in the summer. The water s stocked with sal- mon, sturgeon; halibut and other fish, and the coldness of the water makes the flesh of the fish firm and hard, more so than of those caught on the Atlantic coast. After the fish are caught they are frozen, almost before they are dead, and packed In ice houses, the temperature of which is 7 or 8 degrees below zero. When they reach the market they are fresh. They are shipped in refrigerator cars. Almost all thht have been caught have been going to Chicago. When 1 was here a year I fioticed some of these fish that were mmg at 25 c:nts @ pound. The storekeeper told me that he had received them from Chicago. They had been shipped there from Puget sound and then to Omaha. Now, these flsh could be brought directly to Omaha and sold hgre af from 10 to 12 cents a pound, as they are bought from the fishermen at less than 2 cents a pound. “The hop Industry is old and large. The Jargest hop grower in the world is at the gound. He has 600 acres grown to hops and sends out annually 50,000 bales, each bale weighing 200 pounds. He ciears $100 an acre net. The state is peculiarly suited to the cultivation of hops. There are only a few countries that can grow them, these being England, Bavaria, two places In Germany, u part of New York, a part of California ‘and @ part of Oregon. The cost of raising hops in Washington is smaller than in any of these plac ““Omaha, 1§ In a position to get a part of this trade, and the attention of the jobbers should be called to it. We in Washington have no corn products and we want to get them, In return we are ready to give lum- ber, hops, fish and fruit. The means of ef- fecting the exchange Is at hand.” [ ————— A Ohild Enjoys The pleasant flavor, gentle action and sooth- ing effects of Syrup of Figs when In need of a laxative, and if the father or mother be costive or billous the most gratifying results follow Its use, 8> that it s the best family remedy known, and every family should have a bottle on hand. —_——— i Bedel Institute of Blair, Neb., is the best and only guaranteed cure of the liquor, mor- phine and tobacco habit., ey STATE IRRIGATION ASSOCIATION, Kearney, December 18th and 19ih.

Couneilman Holmes Would Not Have His Work Criticised~Shots Fired. Yesterday shortly after noon the vicinity about Twenty-fourth and Lake strects was considerably shaken up by a fight that oc- curred between Councilman Holmes and a building inspector. - Holmes fs the contractor for a bullding that 1s being put up on the west side of Twenty- fourth street, just south of Lake. The spec- ifications were made by Architect Pat Creedon. The building does not appes above the ground now, but a couple (f weeks ago It was one story in the air. When it had reached that helght the inspector ap- peared on the scene and discovered that the building was not being put up strictly ac- cording to the specifications, He sought out Holmes and pinted out the fact to him. Some talk was had, but the story came down. Yesterday the Inspector again made an ex amination and found that the work was again not according to the specifications, He called the attenticn of Holmes to the matte For awhile they talked, but they €oon came to blows. No one interfered, and spectators say that when the fight was finished the in- spector was badly worsted. After bringing about this s Ury result Holmes walked down the str The inspector pulled him- gelf together and sought to even up matters by shooting at his c nquerer as he marched along.

Triday evening Court Omaha No, 1,091, In- dependent Order of Foresters, gave a concert and ball in Patterson hall. The c:mmittecs that had the affair in charge had spared no efforts to make 1t the best thing of the kind that had ever been given by the court, and the'r success was such that many of those present said it was the finest entertainment that had ever been given in the city. At any rate, the occasion was a magnificent success in every way. A good program cf musie, recitatiors and addresses had been prepared and every number was well ren- dered. At tie conclusion of the program dancing was taken up and continued through a program of fifteen numbers, and the only interrupticn occurred when refreshments, Loth delic’ous and ample, were served. The purpose of the entertalnment was to boom the membership of the court. A spe- clal charter rate dispensation has been grinted o it untll the last of this month from October 1.

As a result of the command the asylum of Mount Calvary commandery was crowded with the faithful. The glitter and gold of th order was everywhere in evidence, Sir Knights clothed In the paraphernalia of the'r rank hurried through the halls and rooms of the Masonic temple, There were visiting Kaights from Council Bluffs, from many im- portant tcwns in Nebraska and representatives of other commanderies throughout the United States, The ancient ceremeny of “dubbing the Knights” began promptly at 5 o'clock and terminated at 9, when, in honor of the occa- sion, a_ benquet was served in the banquet room of the temple, covers being laid for 300, and then there were not places enough at the series of long tables to accommcdate all the guests, but one of the rooms on the third floor had to be turned into a temporary ban- quet hall for the overflow. For the first time in the hi plarism in Omaha the wiv sters, mothers and sweeth of the Sir Knights were fn- vited to the banquet, and, as a result, the blue lodge room on the third floor presented a very attractive picture, the presence of the ladies and the r'ch decorations of the Knights contributing to the effectiveness of the scene. SRE AT THEIR BEST. Never have the members of Mount Calvary commandery felt the importance of the occa- sion Just so strongly as on Friday night. They Were there to show their wives and sweethearts the exalted character of this most exclusive fraternity, and, as a re- sult, those haying the banquet and subsequent dancing In charge fairly outdid themse! and the wives who have opposed the'r hus- bands’ going to the lodge will do so no more after the lessons of the night, The members of the commandery, their ladies and visiting guests were recelved by Sir Knights William T.

Wheeler. “Our Visitors” was next on the program, and |was cleverly handled by Sir Knight E. J. Cornish. Rev. T, J.

Strawn on ory of Tem- | “Foreign Countries,” who reviewed Templar- from the I fth ward, for assault and battery | {sm in the old world, and in his ten minutes bringing forcibly to those present some of the characteristics of the peoples he had met while abroad. But the crowning feature of the banquet, and a decided departure for Masonry, was the bright and very clever speech made by Mrs. I. R. Andrews, to the toast “Sir Knights' She spoke of the knight errantry of old, but sald in these clos- ing century days there were greater occa- sions for display of knighthood than in the days when Arthur and his merry men tilted and jousted and made the round table ring with their quips and humor. And then in closing she read a double quartet of lines which were filled with lofty senti- ment and loyal tribute to Knights Templar the world over. Extending the Helplng Hand. Several of the secret odrers of the ‘state of Nebraska have completed or are making ar- rangements to take care of their destitute mermbers, especially those in the western portion of the state, during the coming win- ter. A great deal of suffering s expected in the western counties when the cold weather sets in, but these orders propose to see that not one of thelr members shall want for food, clothing, fuel or any other necessary of life. An account of the method that the Ancient Order of United Workmen will pursue has al- ready been published in these columns. The work s being steadily followed in préparation Lfor the coming cold weather, and already an- | officer of the guard, W. B. Barrett; delegate swers to the appeals,that have been sent out aro coming In. Circulars have fhee sent out from the Odd Fellows hall of the grand lodge of the state to the secretariem of all the lodges in the state, bringing thisamatter to their attention. These circulars arn t9 be followed during the coming week withillisect appeals to Xw mem- bers. ~ Both are.sigped by 1. P. Gage, the grand secretary of the grand lodge of the state. A part the circular above men- | tioned reads as fellow! “Being desirous.of learning the actual needs of our brethren imithe westernmost lodges, in | order that we may take steps to rellete Any | existing distress gr probable destitution, will | you please glve agonce answers to the follow- | ing Questions ds there likely to be want and destitution among the members of your lodge which the lodge cannot relieve? How many needy brothers have you? Wil castoft clothing which can be collected among our more favored lodges be acceptable? While it is not Lkely that we shall ba able to distribute any large sums of money, we are anxious to do all that lies in our power to assure our unfortunate members and lodges of our deep sympathy with them in their time of dis- couragement. No appeal for assistance was presented to the grand lodge at its late ses. sion and no steps were taken by that body to_anticipate any probable want among the | lodges, but the grand officers’ correspondence with the brethren unmistakably indicates widespread apprehension among the western brethren.’ The lodges in the eastern part of the state propose to collect as much money and as many articles as they can and forward them to the grand secretary's office, from where | they will be distributed among the needy lodges. Formal action will not be taken until the appeal reaches them. Lodge ftoom Elections.
