e e . TALKS OF IDARO AND UTAH Former Omaba Man Enthusiastic Over the Btates to the West. SAYS IRRIGATION MAKES GREAT WEALTH Land that Can Be Had for the Taking 1s Made Valuable by Watering— Utah's Great Mining Industry, Wing B. Allen, a former well known so- elety man and until a year or %0 ago as- sistant surveyor of customs at Omaha, is in town on a visit to his old home for the bolidays. After a year In the Rocky moun- tain states he says Omaha him." Although youthful in appearance, Allen elaims that his long residence in Omaha entitles him to recognition as one of the early settlers, his family having crossed the Missour| river twenty-seven years ago Christmas day. His father was Rev. Joshua Wing Allen of the Congregational faith, who preiched In Michigan during the early days, until his health failed, when Be was induced by A. E. Touzalin, general manager of the B. & M. in Ne- braska, to move to Crete and edit a paper known as the Saline County Union. After several ycars' successful effort in newspa- per work he was forced by continuad iIl health to give it up. For a' while thero- after he assisted Chancellor Fairfield (who had also been a Michigan preacher) in some of the business affairs of Nebraska's State university. He was a frequent con- tributor to The Bee and often occupied the pulpit of the old First Congregational church, then on Nineteenth and Chicago streets (since torn down), in the absence of | Father A. F. Sherriil Being a minister's son, Wing Allen was expected to turn out bad, in accordance with the well known rule, but surprise was | great when he became a secretary of the Young Men's Christian assoclation during the days when Plerce C, Himebaugh of ro- vered memory was asking business men of | Omaha to contribute 10 per cent of their income toward the erection of the building now standing at Sixteenth and Douglas streets. However, blood will tell, and Wing has gone to the bad at last. He has become a newspaper man. He says many & famous writer has come out of the sage brush plains and the Rocky mountalus there s plenty of inspiration there, and he has been trying his hand at the busi- ness. In a year he has traveled exten- sively over Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Wyom- | ing, Idaho, Montana and Oregon and has | written much about those regions which has been widely quoted. He is particu- larly familiar with Idaho and Utah, and this s what he sald about them yester- day: of the West. “Many western states are called by thelr enthusinstic supporters ‘Empires.’ That thought is usually inspired by extent of territory. 1 colned the expression much used In the west recently, ‘Idaho is an empire,’ but know that the term fits. b~- cause Idaho covers as much territory a. comprises New York, New Jersey, Massa- chusetts and New Hampshire combined, and has the most wonderful natural scenery and resources, developed and undeveloped, almost sufficlent to feed the entire popula- tlon of the United Statcs. There are greater opportunities for the acquirement of wealth and the founding of homes in Idaho today than anywhere else in this great land of freedom of which, also, Idano, is the freest. Great as have been the strides of the state since it was admitted nto the union July 3, 1890, with a popula. tlon of 84,385, which has been increased to 200,000, its probable population today, the next two years bid fair to double the advance of the whole preceding period. In all the west, as far as agriculture is concerned, the one great question is water and, Indeed, the mining industry depends upon water about as much as agriculture. In the valleys of the mountains, as out on the sage brush plains, and even on the lava and alkall deserts, almost anything from bananas to jack rabbits can be grown if you can get water on the land. In the mighty Snake river, the beautiful Salmon river and thelr tributaries, Idaho possesses water in abundance for the whole state. Hereto- fore the greater portion of that water has been emptying Itself into the sea off the Oregon coast, but steadlly, step by step, the settlers have been learning the engi- neering art of getting water up out of the canygnd and low riverbeds onto the land until “ at last the whole vexed question seems to have been solved and hitherto useless land I8 being opened up to settle- ment 100,000 acres at a time. It warms one’s heart to witness the resultant pros- perity. There is land to be had for the taking, which with the acquirements of ‘water be¢omes very valuable. A friend of mine bought a ranch on Wood river a year ago at $15 per acre. With a little more skill than the former owners, he managed to Increase his water supply so that in six months he was offered first $45 per acre, then $60, both of which he refused. The best farm land in Nebraska is probably worth $50 per acre. There is farm land in Idaho worth $200 per acre. ldaho's Diversified Interests. “A page of The Bee would not cover sompletely one single item of Idaho news, The social conditions, the mining indus. try, the lumber trade, just in Its {ncipiency | but ,promising vast proportions, and the | cattle and sheep industries are important | things Gismissed with an allusion.

I must retain some of mine while I try to tell undisputed facts. Utah is a most intensely interesting subject, of which the end is not yet, and some day, more than ever In the past, the United States is going to wake up to the fact and face a problem yet un- settled, as it Is unequaled. Utah Is a state of the unfon. Utah Is a state of mind Eminent men visit the place for a briet period and, leaving, publish their views to the world. It is often mere guesswork on thelr part and their well-intentioned statements mislead the public. It is im- possible to eliminate the religious ques- | tion from any reference to the subject, but at the outaet I can say this: Leave Ogden in the springtime, travel south for some 100 miles through the Salt Lake and Utah Lake valleys; there Is no more Inspiring | sight in all the world than the fertile, rich Mormon farms, with their budding crops of grain, the finest vegetables in the land | and hardy fruits of the most luscious va- rieties. Then the mountains are, green (the summer’'s sun not having N)mmr\nced‘ working overtime), while from out of every canyon and almost every crevice God's the thirsty land. This s also true of ! Cache valley north of Ogden and of several | smaller valleys In various parts of the | state. Then visit the great mining camps | of Park City on the east, Bingham and | Stockton on the west, the Tintle district | and the Mercur mines in the southwest center of the state, and 'Frisco, Copper | Gulch and Iron mountain regions in the southern portions. These mines give em- ployment to thousands upon thousands of | men and pour out wealth in dividends each | year rufficlent to give Utah the fourth rank as a preclous metal-producing state of the union These mines are growing in importance each year and may ultl- mately be the salvation of the state. For he farms cannot be considerably extended for lack of water, but there is no limit to | the possibilities of the mines. The farms owned by the Gentiles. Speaks of Mormons. “I sald Utah is a state of . mind. A slight prejudice, conceived through what 1 had read of Mormonism, wore away consid- erably after 1 had spent a while in Salt Lake City. The blossoming desert and the sobered religlous life of the people im. pressed me. I was told that the Mormon hood was acquired; that it was not pracs ticed any more, and when I sought for in- stances of the fllesal relation, of which there were many rumors, I, failed to detect them. Further, it was sald that the heads of the church had ceased to use thelr in- fluence for political purposes, and that the people, both Gentile and Mormon, had di- vided on national party lines. This ap- peared to be the accepted view of the situa- tion a year ago in the west. Today, how- ever, through the culmination of the events of the late campalgn, the old fight is on between the Gentiles and the Mormons, and it would not be surprising if the people divided on those lines entirely In all future BARBER REGULATIONS, BOSTO) Board of Health Orders Steril All that Barbers Use on C; A speclal dispatch from Boston, May 5, 1900, to the New York Sun gives as new reg- ulations of the Boston Board of Health as to barber shops: *Mugs, shaving brushes and razors shall be sterilized after each separate use therof. A separate, clean towel shall be used for cach person. Mate- rial to stop the flow of blood shell be used only In powdered form and applied on a towel. Powder puffs are prohibited.” Wherever Newbro's “Herpicide” is used for face or scalp after shaving or hair cutting there is no danger, as it is antiseptic and kills the dandruft germ. BOY LOSES HIS LEFT HAND Raymond Cline Falls from Train on Which He is Ste Ride. Raymond Cline, a 14-year-old boy living at 1619 Leavenworth street, fell from a train at Boulevard avenue yesterday after- noon at 3:30 o'clock and his left hand was cut off above the wrist by the wheels and he was considerably bruised about the head | and shoulders in addition. Fireman J.'M. Bual and others of a awitch crew saw the accident and took the injured boy to Elev- enth and Mason streets, where he was taken In the police patrol wagon to Clark- son hospital. He was attended by Dr. Smith, the Union Pacific physician, and at a late hour last night was reported as resting casily. His condition is not serious. Young Cline, with several other boys, was stealing a ride on a Unlon Pacific train to South Omaha. At the place of the accl- dent he In some manner lost his hold and fell Between the cars. Only his hand fell across a rail. He lay between the rails while four or five cars passed over him. The train was in charge of E. Gorman, en- gineer, and L. Robinson, conductor. Suspected of Murder, DENVER, Dec. 21.—Carl Hicks, who was arrested here Thursday on the ‘charge of having burglarized a store at Monument, Colo.. is suspected of implication in the murder of a policeman at St. Paul, Minn., in February last. Three men were con- cerned In the crime and the local police now have two other men under surveil- ance.

FIRE AND POLICE BOARD IS PROPOSED g Some Members of Committee Are of the Opinfon that Retain Control of the Two Departments. Mayor Should The subcommittee of the general charter committe met Friday night and perfected n organization. A. H. Murdock was chosen chalrman and J. J. Breen secretary. After the organization the charter was taken up and the members of the subcommittee went through twenty-two sections. A number of amendments in the sections were suggested and noted by the secretary. When It came to the appointing of an ex- clse board the committee differed to such tor the time and the members adjourned, subject to the call of the chair. Wbile some of the members of this minor committee favor an excise board, others hold that the mayor should maintain con- trol of the fire and police departments, as has been the custom in the past. The fact that only thirty men aré employed in the two departments made it evident that there was no recessity for a board of three or five to govern this small number of men. It is expected that another meeting of the committee will be held Monday even- ing, when other matters may be taken up. In case those who insist upon an ex- cise board cannot agree with the others the proposition will doubtless be referred to the committee of the whole, composed of twenty-six members, Secretary Breen of the subcommittee sald last evening that the committee would not be able to make a complete report to the meeting called for Tuesday night in the council chamber. “We wiil be able,” sald what we have done so far, but we will not | be prepared to make a complete report.” As the present charter is a long one It 18 expected that many amendments will be suggested and that it will take consider- | able time to frame these so as to be in suitable form to present to the people. Then when tais is done will come the ques- tion of submitting the same to the legls- lature. Few of the old-time politiclans appear to be interested In the charter just now, as they apparently want to see what the pres- ent committee will do before taking any steps, Interest Being Pald. For the first time in the history of the city the local banks are paying into the city treasury interest on daily balances. Up to last night there had been credited to City Treasurer Howe's account the sum of $430.97. This amount shows that the banks are paying the city at the rate of 2 per cent on dally balances. In speaking of this matter Mr. Howe, the city treasurer, sald that next year the amount of interest pald would be larger, as the present year has been a short one, ow- Ing to the fact that the new charter did not go in force until after the commence- ment of the calendar year. This money received from the banks will be placed In the general fund and will help out considerably at this time, when nearly all of the funds are low. Waiting for Contractor. President Bruce McCulloch of the South Omaha Library board sald last night that he had directed Architect Kimball to pre- pare a contract for the construction of the library building. J. H. Weise is to be awarded the contract. At the present time Mr. Weise is in Sheridan! Wyo., figuring on some government work at Fort McKen- zle. ‘‘As soon as Mr. Welse return: sald President McCulloch, “we will present the contract to him for signature. He will then be expected to get material on the ground rapldly as possible and commence con- struction. Now that we have money in sight we propose pushing the work as fast as possibl. Wileox Congratulated, Quite a large number of local Masons called upon B. E. Wilcox yesterday for the purpose of congratulating him upon his election to the high office of illustrious po- tentate of Tangler temple, Nobles of \he | Mystic Shrine. The election was held Fri- day night at the temple in Omaha. Mr. flcox ‘s the first Mason in South Omaha accorded the honor of being chosen poten- tate. Will Hold Maxwell. A request has been made by Masons from out of the city to hold Willlam Maxwell here until his record can be more fully in- vestigated. At the present time Maxwell is serving a thirty days' sentence in the county jall on a charge of having obtained money under false pretenses. It is strongly intimated by lodges In other states that Maxwell, or Walter Grey, 1s an impostor and the plan is to see that he is sufficlently punished when he gets out of the Douglas county jail. Cudahy Commences Cutt Ice. General Manager Tallaferro of the Cud- ahy Packing company stated yesterday aft- ernoon that his company proposed to be gin cutting ice at Seymous lake today. The ice 1s between elght and nine inches thick now and is growing thicker each day. Two hundred men can find work on the fcefleld at the lake now. Mr. Tallaferro sald that carryalls for men living in South Omaha would leave the wholesale market at Cud- ahy's at 6 o'clock each morning. Free | transportation will be furnished men who want to work. Magie Clity Gossip. Mies Fannie Brown is coln, C. C.

OVERCOME BY GAS AND COLD Cheeker for Swift's Narrowly Death in Cold Storage Ware- houwe. Marion Arnold, who recently entered the employ of Swift and Company as a checker, had a thrilling and narrow escape from asphyxiation in a cold storage warehouse, paradoxical as it may seen, a few days ago. Benumbed with coid and overcome with gas Arnold lay upon the floor of the warehouse unconscious when the door was opened by an inspecior, who, fortunately for the in- nocent prisoner, chanced to pass that way on his rounds. Arnold had gone to the warehouse to check up for his employers. He did mot lock himselt Inside as has been reported, but was imprisoned, accidentally, by some- one from the outside, who shut the door not knowing Arnold was within. Of course it did not take Arnold long to realize his pre- carfous position. Enclosed within a small area with the temperature about the freez- ing polat the realization of the proximity ot death forced itself upon him. "I was beginning to get desperate,” said Arnold, “when luckily I got my hands on the little charcoal stove in which was a slight fire for the purpose of moderating the temperature. My first impulse was to dump this fire out on the floor near the door in an effort at burning my way out of this possible death chamber. But my scheme did not pan out as I expected. In- stead of burning a hole through the wal or door the fire smouldered and fumes of gas soon filled the frigid cell In which I was rapidly meeting my doom. There was noth- ing left for me to do. I soon relapsed into unconsciousness and when 1 came to it was two hours after my rescue by an in- spector who, happily, had come to inspect that warehouse. He works for the Leav- enworth street cold storage house.” The Inspector was horrified at the dis- covery of a man's body prostrate upon the floor when he opened the door. He dragged | it out and found there was life. Arnold | was revived, as he says, two hours after | was able to resume his work next day.
