"HE OMAHA DAILY BER JULY 8, 1895 MAKING THE DESERT BLOOW | Irrigation Transforming Arid Lands Into Veritable Gardens. NEW LAW 1S PROVING A SUCCESS| [ Cattlo Business Gradoally Agriculture—Se Alrendy ing Water I ghts Giving Way to | eral Companios Huve Commenced Tmprov- | trend of affairs in the st CHEYENNE., Wyo.,, July 7.—During the | present year there has been great agric tural development In various parts of Wy ing, with prospects of continued activity. I many years Wyoming was given up almost | entirely as pasture ground for big heids of | cattle, and very few attempts mad until recenily to utilize its vast for | any other purpose. In fact, it was the poli of the cattlemen to disparage the state fighd for agriculture and to discourage ail at- tempts at agricultural developmer ot late years, however, owing to a combination of verse circumstances, such as severe wint insufficlency of winter pasturage, and low prices, the range cattle b siness has receivei such a declded setback that many of the large herd owners have either abandoned the pusiness or moved their ¥ » the virgin pastures of northern Montana and the Brit ish possessions. This action on the part of cattlo ownors has left large tracts of land in Wyoming unused and unvceupied, ani they are now being utilized by emall ranchmen and farmers Prior to the present year it was a matter of great difficulty to obtain title to public lands by men of small means, and the set- tlement of the state was greately retarded through the inadaptability of the nationai land laws to local conditions and local laws This difficully has been removed to a great degree by the passage of what s known as the Carey land act at tho last session of congress, donating to the states in the arid region a million acres of land each and by the passago.of a law in this state previding for carrying the act intc effect. The states of Colorads and Idaho have adopted the Wyoming measure, and the re sults obtained under it in theie states are being watched with intercst, not only in the wast, but_throughout the whole country, the quesilon being a national one, ina as if the states are succcs fui with the acre grant, it 18 probabic al! public lands will ultimately be tran; the g T government to the states in which they lie. ENCOURAGEMENT FROM WASHINGTON The officers of the general land office ‘Washingtoa have done all in their wer to ald In the work of euccessfully carrying out the intent of the act, nd have recently modified the rules and reguiations prescribel by the department in order to conform with the state law, and the provisions und: which land may now be acquirel are so sir plified that the matter of colonlzation and of reclamation of large areas of what ha tofore been waste land will be comparatively Although in Wyoming, the land board the matter in charge has been bout recentiy organized, numerous applications for land have been received, and the work of reclamation and settlement is in active pro- gross The first application for lands under the act was made by the Big Forn Canal com- pany and embraced 30,000 acres along the Gray Bull river, near where it enters into the Big Horn, in Big Horn county. The company is composed of Wyoming and Omaha people and the 30,000 acres, which is all susceptible of agricultural develop. ment, will be cut into eizhty and 160-acre farms+ and apportioned ocut to farmers as s00n as the canals to water it are com- pleted. The Globe Canal company, composed of Omaha investors, has applied for 10,000 acres located along the Shoshone river, a tributary of the Big Horn. This company has completed its canal for one-half of the distance proposed ta run it, and already has a large number of settlers on its land who will produce good crops this year. The lands under the Biz Horn canal and Globe Canal company filings have an alti- tude of from 4,000 to 5,000 feet. They are admirably adapted to raisng grain, pota- toes, alfalfa and fruit. The winters ar mild and pgasant and water for irrigation purposes is ample. An application has also 20,000 acres of land along river by an Omaha company, which as yet has not been formally inc orated. The application Is being examined at the present time by J. A. Johnston of the State Board of contrcl, representing the state engineer. An application for 4,000 acres has been made by a Fort Bridger company for land along the Black Fork river, in Uinta county. An application for 10,000 acres along the same stream will be filed by the Black Fork Canal company. Besides these applications for land under the Carey act, applications have been made for ditch rights for irrigating lands under the United States land laws during the present year, to Irrigate about 100,000 acres. One of the most important of theso enter- prises is that of the West Side Placer com- pany, an organization composed of Provi- dence, R. I, investors. This company has contracted for the Immediate bullding of a canal thirty-cight miles long, to be taken "from the Snake river sixty-five miles north of Rawlins. While the canal is built to conduct water for placer mining, it will b used Incidentally to irrigate a tract of 10,000 acres of fine agricultural land, which will be colonized by New England farmers. The Alpha_Canal company, composed of Papillion, Neb., people, 10,000 acres of land under land laws in tho Big Horn colony of Nebraska peop! ready on its land as soon as work on system is completed MOST SUCCE we areas uch miliion of the rrel by respectiv been made for the Big Horn s to settle its water SPUL VENTURE. The most successful enterprise of this nature is that at Wheatland amie county, along the line of the Cheyenne & Northern_railway, where the Wyo velopment company has placed 65,000 § under irrigation. This tract was placed on the mearket a little over e year ago, and up to the present time nearly two-thirds of it has been sold m cighty and 160-acr tracts to farmers. Large shipments of tatoes, bay and grain will be made from thy mattlement this year.

Most of this heavy expensze has been | pald In the jungles of central Africa, where a man does not count for half as much as | a humped ox or a trained ape. For nature has bullt an effectual barrier about ‘ner culti- vators of billlard balls—the elephants—and he who would penetrate it must take his life in his hands. In the first place, says the Chicago Record, nature has provided an atmosphere of great heat, reeking half the year with moisture In which lurks the germs of a hundred un- named discases and rent for two seasons with sudden storms accompanied by heavy rains. Then there is the barrier of a rank and tangled vegetation through which no roads but those of the jungle folk have yet pierced. The huge trees conceal flerce, wild animals, poisonous snakes and insects whose stings mean deata at the end of days of suffering. Impassablo morasses, lakes, broad rivers and mountain ranges are also numerous and yet more dangerous are the jealous savages. who have learned enough of civilazation to dis- frust it and who know that a man never pro- «wsts against robbery after he is dead. 8o the elephant is given a chance to grow a little_before the harvesters of the ivory crop can reach him. When he has trumpeted for a few sc o years and his tusks have made him a power in the herd some native hunter spies him as he thrashes through the Jungle or wades in a morass. Then a great number of the bravest warriors gather and build a huge enclosure of vines, into which the elephant one day walks. From the P rounding trees come a shower of arrows and perhaps a bullet or two from an ancient gun obtained at a hundred times its value from some wandering trader. The e'ephant charges about trumpeting, but on every side tho barrier holds him in. At last he falls overcome by numbers. Then his great tusks aro packed away and a row of naked natives carry them for days through the jungle until they are placed in the king's treasury as part of the wealth as well as the currency of a nation, Sometimes the elephant is killed by means f a huge beam shed on its under side with a stone or ircn knife, which is so arranged as to fall when the elephant steps under it. Some tribes have enriched themselves by finds of “dead ivory,” or the tusks from ele- phants which have perished in years gone by. The smaller picces are frequently used for uprooting stones, digging in the earth and for various implements of warfare. After a time traders from England %na | other countries appear and the tusks are bar- tered for bright nothings—old fashioned and shop-worn fabrics, food, whisky and firearms. Then there {s another long pericd of trans- porting the precious ivory on tha backs of natives, with the constant danger of attack from hostile tribes and the treachery of friendly ones. At last it is aboard ship and after weeks on (he sea it arrives at the great ports, where it is sold to carvers and manufacturers, The best ivory comes from Africa. Some of the tusks are from elght to ten feet long and often weigh 170 pounds. The Indian ele- phants’ tusks are much shorter and of less welght and the great demand has reduced the fupply to an extent that it is now rare to find ‘a large tusk. Indian ivory is not so g00d in quality as that from Africa. Much of the fvory nsed in Russia and in other parts of Buropeis found in northern Russia and Siberia in_the remains of prehistoric mam- moths. — Where the skeletons have always been frozen in the earth the ivory is as good as the ordinary Indian product, but much of it has been injured by exposure fto the weather. Tusks have been found that were more than twelve feet long and weighed up- ward of 200 pounds, The value of ivory rests mainly In its toughness, its elasticity, and it quality of taking a high polish. Tt is filled with mil- lons of minute holes, which give it an ela ticity which no solid object could ever have, In effect ivory Is the same substance as the dentine of the teeth, and it is unlike bone in having no channels for the passage of blood. The teeth or tusks of the narwhal, sperm whale, walrus, and hippopotamus are also used as ivory, but the quality is usually poor. Great skili is required in buying tusks, for the external appearance is often most decep- tive. The inside may be full of abeesses and cracks, and sometimes the core is filled Wwith pieces of stones and chunks of iron by the tricky natives and no less tricky dealers. Wiien at Jast the tusk reaches the manu- facturer of billiard balls it is again examined very carefuly for flaws, and even if the smallest crack is perceptible the ivory is used for some other purpose. If the tusk is found to be perfect and about the right siz a little larger In diameter than the ball is to be-—it is sent out to the workroom. Here a ber of aproned workmen—and marvel- ly skilled they are, too easure the tusk into the proper distances to be cut into blocks. ~ Tt is then sawed into lengths of two and one-half to three inches, according to the size of the bills to be made, and the t s take the blocks in hand. Al the lathes are of exquisitely delicate workman- ship, for ivory is a preclous material and a mistake is always expensive. In order to save the corners of the blocks, the turner cuts a ring at each end and slowly deepens it until a ro ring drops off. This Is subsequently finisked into a martingale ring | ke those uzed on expensive harness, Two rings come from cach billiard ball block The remaining ivery is now almost round, and aft few more shavings are taken off it is laid aside to dry for about six months, ivory is rather soft and there Is always a likelihood of some shrinkage. Wien it has been seasoned it goes to the workiman again, and with still more delicate chisels he pares it dow smooth and exactly round, a task requiring much skill and care Then the ball Is roughly polished by means of an ingenious little machine, after which | it is treated to a rubbing with ehaik and | chamols nd finally with plain, soft | leather. now bright, shiny, and to one W kuow about such things perfectly smo But a workman spends much time on it, rubbing it with palmns of the hands, the best of all polishing day Tvory is extremely sensitive to atmospaerio | and climatic changes, and some apparenily perfoct balls will begin to crack and chip al- at once, while others will u in A porficial litlon for rs. s aterially impalr Why Ivory Brng o It crack, the valu The best all the cnamel o owaver, doe: of a not billiard bal of balls is from the on de of the having been removed before turning.

St. 12. 8t Je H i & M (€] Milwauke Detroit, scheduled for Lincoln yesterday transferred to this city on account of an excessive plenitude of cons@bles down in Lancaster county. The Buckerinos at- tempted to pull off a game down there last Sunday somewhere in the county, but the rural limbs of the law took after them and chased them Into the sand hills. So yes- terday they concluded to come to the me- tropolis and divide the receipts with the Omahas. Once more is Hiram's elongated cranium in evidence, for he not only carried back several hundred good, hard dollars to the | V¢ agricultural districts with him, but also the | o game. P Ot course the crowd was sore and dis- | ¢ appointed, but that is invarlably the case when their lambs get slaughtered. Such a thing as the other fellow’s winning never enters their think tanks, until the thing is done. Yesterday was no deviation from the rule, but the halo of golden light which shone Iike a crown around Buckerino's | p classic caput as he strode, proud and de- flant, out of the park, was almost compensa- enough for the defeat. As to the work of Hutch's boys—there Is not much to be said. They got straddle of the bannisters in the second inning and went sliding with a velocity that left a whirl of smoke in their wake, until they struck terra firma in the ninth inning. But the Buckerinos! My, how they did The game was v tl 8¢ Q bu Q se O D Q) R make the Omaliogs hustle and grunt, every | Jacksonville . man, under the able guidance of Hiram's eagle brain and massive cye, playing the limit from the first shuffle to the last turn. Little Nattress had a bad day of it, and Paddy Miles was far below his usual stand- ard. In the seventh inning ‘‘Snapper” Kennedy, while going down to third under a full head of steam, collided with Nat- tress and stretched him senseless. He was quickly resuscitated, however, and pluckily finished out the game COST HOLLY SOMETHING. Hollingsworth, too, had u narrow escape, and had it been any other day but the Sabbath, he would doubtless now be perched upon the jasper wall twanging a celestial mandolin. Colonel Pace was so mad that he stretched his neck right up into the air and gnawed out old horseshoe nails and scrap iron by the bucketfull. And he wouldn't be sati- ated until Artemus Ward hit Holly a swipe with a §10 fine that made him yelp like a yellow dog. Philadelphus Darby did the twirling for the Hutchinsons and Sylvester Gragg for the Buckerinos. Sylvester had gobs and gobs the best of it. Sylvester is a distinctly intellectual type of pitcher, with a touch of romance in his nature. He has a strong imagination and breath, great consistency of purpose, knows what he wants and secures it. Yesterday when he stepped upon the magic slab he remarked that he wanted the game, and he got it. At no stage in the road was Sylvester's sovereignty threatened. In his work was blended energy, reflection and feeling, and after the affalr ‘was all over he looked for all the world like a big, red onion, Nattress made the hearts of the populace thump with ecstacy by smashing the second ball pitched for three sacks. Slagle holsted a high one out to Snapper Kennedy, and rejoined his comrades on the bench. 'Then Shafo basted Silly for a couple of sacks and Nat scored, but the very next moment Cholly was caught dozing at second and switched off. Old Hutch was fired out by Ben Hill to John L. Then Lincoln came in and laid an egg, and there was a joyous cackling on the bleachers. BUCK BEGAN PLAYING. In the next round, after Billy O'Brien's successor ad pushed the sphere disdainfully and safely from him, Lohman, Pace and Miles curled up in quick succession, gasped and died. But not so with the Clodhoppers. Van Buren, a tall, liiy-like southerner, was the first man Buckerino pushed to the front. It had been a long time since Vanny had seen a real live base hit, and as he stood there waiting for Darby to pull a bunch of imagi- nary curves out of the atmosphcre, he made an_exquisite picture, modest, tender and un- sophisticated. He looked as if he had but little knowledge of the art of lacing her out, and evinced none of the coquetish ways of Buckerino, but finally, when Darby did at last let go of the ball, Vanny bristied up like an cnraged female porker in defense of her young, and hit it a rap that fairly jolted the fillings in Georgle's teeth. Still, it was but a single. Buckerino followed, and as he lifted his big, white oak sapling and lowered his' brow lke the lid of an old- fashioned trunk, everybody ~was afraid he'd hit it out of the lot. Vanny along side of Hiram was like comparing the soft murmuring flow of a limpid stream with the rush of some mighty torrent, and yet all Buck could do was to trundle a little one down to Hutch and turn round before getting half way to first. Darby didn't like Senator Hill's looks and too well, 50 he just soaked him with the ball. John L. hit one a jolt in the jaw, and Vanny swarmed home. " Then Cole basted lier and the bases were full. It was a critical juncture, with Sylvester at the bat. He ground the but of his bat into | ¢ the plate and bit a picce out of his upper lp. Then, when Darby hurled one of his choicest slants at him, he welted it. Hutch got it and although he cut off Colonel Cole at sec- ond, Senator Hill scampered in with another tally, where Sully followed him a moment later, when Petrino Lohman essayed to pre- vent ‘Sylvester from stealing sccond Holly cnded the agony by a pop Slagle. Well, that inning settled Omaha’s hash, | C and there is little call for forther work on | my part. There was plenty of red fire and hog wash in the balance of the game, but the gentle reader has my permission to exercise his own fertile brain awhile. Suffice it to say, that Hiram, Hiram Ebright, esq., left for’ Lincoin last night with his head so swelled that he had to hire a small boy to scratch it. The game put him one ahead of | Omaha In their scries so far, and he knew when he get back to Lincoln that the people down there will from this on make his hum- a paradise. a palace, where lov beauty shall reign alone, Score: OMAHA R.

ERY LIKE A THING OF LIFE Defender 8%ims Over the Water Beautiful Manner, SAILED ALL AROUND OTHER CRAFTS in a Hold the Breezs Under All Conditions and Easily Passed Everything in the Harbor—Kesult of the Second Triul, 0. BRISTOL, R. L, July 7.—The second trial of Defender was made today, and it proved a satisfactory one in every respect. Captain Nat Herreschoft and the members of the syn- dicate who were on board, after their return, declared themselves delighted both with the speed and with the behavior of the yacht The yacht Colonia was Defender's running mate, and In the crulsing done today the syndicate boat fairly salled around the Colo- nfa. Defender also encountered several other crack sallors, who, anxious for a brush, set sail for her, but they were quickly left be. hind. She carried her canvas well and could have stood a much stronger breeze without shortening sall. The only trouble of conse quence was caused by the misfit of the top. all, which was too large, some little time be- ng spent in cutting this down The hundreds who watched Defender ex- pressed great surprise to see how her sails held the wind, and when the breeze died away, she was equally surprising in laying up to the wind. Another pleasing polnt which the syndi- cate learned today was the remarkable speed with which she can be brought about. By actual time this feat was performed In fifteen seconds, or ten seconds quicker than the best time Vigilant ever made it in coming about From today's trials it was figured that De- fender ocutsailed the Colonfa by about ten minutes fn ten miles. This afterncon the boats started out on a second trip, and although the wind died away to almost a dead calm, Defender held the breeze and easily passed everything in the harbor. After the second cruise, both yachts returned to Bristol and dropped anchor. Workmen wil resume operations on the un- completed work below decks on Defender, which, with other finishing touches to be put on make it probable that she will not be taken out again for several day: 3| St [ me. by by NATIONAL SCHUET Record Reaohing u High T ern Men Well U LENDALE PARK, L.

Agent Criticises the Henley Rogatta, THAMES, July 7.—Regatta week opens with beautiful weather at Hen- ley. The town is crowded and the river is alive with craft of all kinds. The crews are resting today. The Cornell men received numerous calls from old Cornell men and other Americans and members of other Hen- ley crews. Coach Courtney has been indis posed. Manager Francls has made many. iticisms on ‘the draw, intimating that it rranged in favor of the Knglish. He especially complains of New College, Ox- ford, having a bye for the first round and then only having to meet the Thames or Eton crews before the finals, while Cornell must row with Leander and then with Lon- don or Trinity before the finals. He sald the Canadians had been treated the same v, but they cannot see it. Mr. Francis all this in the presence of the crew. The Sunday Times, reviewing the work of the different crews, says that It Is bound to admit that the Times' tests have shown the Cornell crew to be as fast as any on the river, but they are badly drawn, and despite the fact that they are undoubtedly a speed lot, Leander should beat them in their heaf.

These arrangements have been most thorough and the committees announce that over 65,000 people can be provided for without confy or discomfort. Two large tents, 284 by feot, with a ting capacity of 8,000 have been pitched on Boston common will bo ready for occupancy by tomorrow night. These tents, together with the m chanfes' buliding, will be the principal meet- ing places during the weck, although services will be held daily in many churches in the city, During the noon hour 125 companles of Christian Endeavorers will daily visit the large manufacturing firms, dry goods houses and places of business and hold services there with the employes. One of the most difficult problems confront- ing the committees has been how to feed such a multitude in the short time between tho session. This has been solved by turning Machinery hall in the mechanics' building into a mammoth restaurant, with a seating capacity of 2,800, where everything from a dairy lunch to a tablo d'hote dinner can be obtained. Special attention has been given to the vocal exercises of the convention and for the past three months a chorus of 3,000 voices has been rehearsing songs to be sung. The chorus will be divided into three parts, so that the music in each of the large tents and Mechanics' hall will be led by 1,000 trained singers. Once at least during the week the three choruses will be united, A huge outdoor mecting will be adjourned to take part. A meeting will also be held in Faneuil hall. “During the convention large parties will visit the historic places in this vicinity, including Concord, Lexington, Cam- bridge, Salem, Plymouth and Bunker Hill, —_——— PROTESTS AGAINST MOB LAW, now practically completod their work re fon 180 ach and Boston Minister Denounces the Rioters of July 4.

He was not well ac- Quainted in this city. In fact, he was a total stranger to the classes with whom he will probably have the most business in his ca- pacity as chief of police. But these ten days were busy ones for Mr. White. During that timo he managed to accumulate a good deal of knowledge concerning the shady side of the city and at the same time he had more fun than man in town Mr. White had heard much talk about the gambling evil in Omaha and had been in- formed that games were in progress which the efforts of the police to break up had here- tofore proved futile. He decided to make a little investigation on his own account, and the sporting fraternity now know who the big, handsome stranger was who was trying to get into “a quiet little game,” whero the police would not interfere. He got into the games, or at lease near enough into them to learn all he desired to know for his guldance inn the matter when he get Into his official harness, Tho day after Mr. White had been Inducted into office he dropped into a Douglus street saloon which had been supposed to have a gambling attachment, introduced himself as the chief of police, and asked the proprietor to call at his office in the city hall at 10:30 o'clock the next morniug. The saloon man was promptly on hand and was cordially greeted. “Take a seat,” sald Chief White, “I am glad to see you. I asked you to come up lLere because there is a little matter that I wanted to talk to you about. You and I don't want to have any trouble and I might as well talk plainly to you. There are plenty of suckers outside of Omaha and wien you want to catch them, I want you to go out of Omaha to do your work. You can't do It here." The saloon man is no slouch In a game of bluff, and promptly announced that he had no idea as to what the chief was talking about, “To be plainer, then,” safd Mr. White, “I want you to take that smooth dico box, that set ‘of loaded dice and that pack of marked cards that you have bebind your bar and throw the whole outfit into the sewer, It you'll do that you and I will get along much better than we will 1f you do not. Do you understand me? Tho saloon man understood. The dice outfit and the marked cards were given to a sharper who was going to Denver on the next_train. KNEW WHERE THE RAKEOFF WENT. Another saloon man, who s reputed to have a gambling den upstairs over his place of business, called on the chief at the latter’s request the same day. He was cordially welcomed, as had besn his fellow gambler, and the conversaticn was opened by the chief without ceremony or delay. “Mr. Blank, sald the chief, “I understand that you have a little poker game running in the rooms over your saloon. Now I don’t care to have any trouble with you over this matter. If the gambling houses were all running I'd see that you got a show with the rest, but as the other places are closed, I must insist that you close your place.” Mr. Blank insisted that he was not run- ning a gambling house, although he aimittel that the rgoms were frequented by a few of the boys who liked a little game, but that there was nothing public about it. “Yes, I know all about that,” replied tha chief, “and I also know that the rakeoff from those quiet little games goes into your vest pocket right along, and the game must be stopped, and that at once, or you and I wiil have trouble.” Mr. Blank died hard. ‘“The rooms are open all the time, chief, and you would mot ob- Ject to high five and whist would you?"” he asked. “The rooms will be open and your officers and men can visit the place as often as you wish to see that there Is no gam- rogres P "thore's no objection to high five and whist,” replied the chief, “but when a police- man wants to go into the rooms, I want you to instruct your barkecper to keep his foot off that little electric annunciator you have in the floor, behind the bar. If you don't do that, we will have to come in and lasso your barkeeper and tie him down before the police- man starts upstairs.” Mr. Blank threw up his hands and promised to close his rooms, even to the boys who have a great desirs to play high five and whist, just for the fun of the game. HAD SOME FUN ON THE ROW. The chief of police also had some fun and gathered some pointers in the proscribed dis- trict. He tock a stroll down through the French section early in the evening and w: greeted with cries of Come In, Fatty “Hello, baby, come in,” and similar saluta- tions from miembers of the sinful sisterhood, who were at the windows looking for victims, The chief was not to be caught so easily, and the sirens adopted more radical measures. A number of them ventured out upon the sidewalk, and in a few minutes he was sur- rounded by a dozen or more women, who were tugging at him and trying to induce him to enter their palaces of sin. But he was afrafd, Ho feared the police would get after him and the women if they did not leave him alone. He was sure that the police would run him in if they found him on the sidewalk with the women around him. *“The police b blanked,” said the girls in chorus. “The police won't bother us; they're all right.” Still the stranger was not satisfled. He in- sisted upon further assurances, and was glven to understand that the procecding to which he was befng subjécted was not at all un- nmon with them, and that the police would not interfere with them at all. “Well, If the police won't interfere with you, I had better get out of here while I can,” replied the chief, and he weat up and wrote a notlce, instructing the policemen in the dis trict to seo that inmates of the houses were kept indoors and not allowed to golicit from open windows, or on the sidewalks.
