The mountains rise far nbovo the timber line , nnd the lofty pr.inito domes stand like great sentinels overlooking the bright waters in the foreground. Long stretches ol pine , llr nnd cedar deco rate the sides of thn lower ranges , nnd hero nnd thcro the gray rocki stand out lu hold relief , making n pleasing contrast , Doop- dark gorges , dashing , roaring streams of water ( lowing Irora distant molting snows , picturesque waterfalls nnd the beautiful lake along whojo shores tbo clear water reflects , nnuw ibuso scones , make this n spot attract ive nnd captivating.

Tlio Suit l.uku Plan. Ono of the most Important measures before congress is the bill prepared by the commlt- too on arid lands , which proposes to cede to the respective states and territories the arid lands within the public domain. Tbo bill has not received thu llnnl touches of the com mittee , but it will undoubtedly bo reported to conuress with Us main features endorsed , Tbo bill recites in substance that lu order to turn ever nnd remit to the people of thu states ana terrltorios in which such nrld lands are situated all questions relating to the Irrigation of the same and to save further expenditures ot the mnnoys of the United States thereon , and provides : That subject to all rights , iunhoate or per fected thereto , all tbo lands of whatever na ture or description and rights thereto , in cluding water rights , now belonging or ap pertaining to tlio United States , lying nnd being situated in tha stains of Nebraska , Nevada , South Dakota , North Dakota , Mon tana , Washington , Oregon , Wyoming , Idaho - ho , Colorado.

The Oil Hi-Kleins. Another spasm of development has broken out in central Wyoming oil ilolds. Prepara tions nro under way for active spring wont in the vicinity of Bonanza. A Pennsylvania company is pushing work un a well in tha Casper Hold. Another company has machin ery on tbo ground to sink a well In the Pow der rlvor Held. The Ulg iforn company , op erating north of Bonanza , suddenly sus pended operations recently for reasons un known , although tlio drill had reached oil- bearing sand at a depth of 1,000 foot. A Donvcr paper reports that exports sent out by foreign capitalists made a favorable report on the Wyoming oil Holds , and that n largo wad of English nnd French money will noon Und Its way into the state. The Denver pi pa line nchomo has been ro- vivod. The svndlcato is said to own or con trol 510,000 acres of oil lands. It is reported in Salt Lake that the Stand ard Oil company is trying to secure control Of the adjacent gas and oil lands by attack ing tbo title to the land , throwing it into the courts and freezing out tbo present owners. Another Tin Htriko. According to local papers a rich tin strike f was made In the vicinity of Ogden , U. T. , by a mysterious prospector from Colorado. The tin location is within u half ratio of the city limits to the east , und samples of the rock have assayed ns high as 05 per cent tin. The vein is between slilu walls cloven foot opart , the whole voln consisting of tin-bear ing rock. This Is nn extremely largo vein and the richness of the rock is astonishing. The ( hiding of tbosu minerals so close to Og- dun will surprise nearly every resident of the city , but it certainly shows that Ogden is Just nt the mou'h of hundreds of tunnels which can bo put Into the mountain side , . triulng ere of many ulnds almost at the sur face gold , silver , lead , copper , tin and coul liavo now boon found In good quantities vrlthln u dozen miles ot the city , and It would not bout all surprising if Ogden should bo- couio at an early date a great mining camp , taking out from the mountains all these min erals In great abundance. retltlun forTTfurk. Residents of northeastern Washington are circulating a petition praying congress that the flno forest and mountain country in the neighborhood of Lake Cbolun bo sot apart by thu United States for the purposes of a national park.

The bank commissioners of California bavo issued a voluminous report exposing the iraudulent operations of national building oud loan associations in that state.

Tbo murdorof tbo little Loavltt girls near Gresham several years ugo has boon recalled by the lynching in Missouri of Dirk Cullen , who was suspected of killing the children and who was arrested and brought back to Nebraska when the Loavitt murder was being investigated. Dick , however , proved an alibi to the satisfaction of the coroner's Jurv nnd was discharged. Recently ho was arrested , together with his mother , htMarsU- Held , Mo. , for tbo murder of a child. Cullon's mother was married to a man named Shaw , and the child bad lived with them since in fancy. Shaw was desirous of legally adopt ing the boy , who had reached the ugo of 5 year , but tbls did not meet with tbo ap proval of Mrs. Shaw nr Cullon. Ono morning the little fellow was missing and the neigh borhood was aroused.

Instructions us to 1'lntitltiK mid Oilier Until Uoiirernltig Mm Industry. The Douglas County Beet Sugar associa tion has prepared the following letter ot in structions to fnnnors wbo are contemplating planting sugar boots this year : As a number of our host farmers in the 1m- ruodlato vicinity of Omaha nro contemplating the planting of 2 to 5 acres of boots for the Douglas County Boot Sugar association , It may bo of Interest to these who hnvo had the matter under consideration to know how to plant , cultivate nnd harvest thn sugar boot. Never select sandy soli or laud that has had any manure en It for nt least a year pre vious to planting. Neither should tnoro bo any location selected where there hnvo boon uny sheep pastured. As soon as the grain Is cut in the early nummor the ground should bo plowed about two inches deep , allowing vegetation to start ana then early lu Sep tember the plow should bo put down deep turning the ground under nine to twelve inches ; this Insures not only a clean plcco of ground for the farmer during the coming season , but as the sugar beet , to be rich In sugar , must go down deep , it not only yields rich-boots but largo tonnage Is thus obtained. Tbo great mistake of most farmers has been shallow plowing , thus preventing the boot from growing down nnd causing it to grow nbovo ground , that part , which so grows being entirely unfitted for the manufacture of sugar and containing differ ent kinds of salts , which maku It impossible to extract the sugar , bonce the great neces sity of deep plowing. After the ground has boon properly plowed it should bo harrowed and then carefully planked , getting it in as line and pulverized a condition as possible , which makes itull the batter for the work ing of the seeder and cultivator which has lately been introduced in the marltct , both of which do about ten acres a day. After finishing seeding , which is done with a seeder that docs four rows at a tlmo , planting the boots from sixteen to twenty inches apart , and when they ijro well up , having four or five loaves , they should bo gene through with a boo and bunched , after which they can bd thinned out , being careful to leave only n sintrlo plant about overv seven inches , otherwise the boots will entwine around each othur and amount to nothing. The boots will bo found to grow very rapidly alter they bavo been thinned and should bo gene through with n horse cultivator so as to keep the woods down. This can bo done about thrco times , when it will bo found that tbo loaves uro so largo that they will entirely cover the ground and the crop is then ready to lay by. Great care should bo used in not harvest ing tbo crop until it iia certain that it U ripe , as the beet Is like other fruits which pass througb certain chemical changes as they como to maturity , ( taking on their richest sweetness just bef oro-they are r I DO ; hence the great importance .to tbo farmer to bo sure that bis crop has fully matured before harvesting. The leaves will nurn a light yellowish green , many of the lower ones drylnir up , which Is a sign that they are ripening , it taking about four to four'and a half months after planting for them to mature. If tbero is any 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 tbroo or four , boots , and sending them to thq factory by mail they can always bo an- ulyzod and their condition ascertained. Never harvest boots after a heavy rain , and never bo alarmed during the summer whan the hot days wilt cause the loaves tn wilt nnd lay down on the ground , this being an unfailing sign that the boots are taking on sugar speedily. The most desirable weather for boot culture is nn early spring , a hot July and August , with nn oc casional shower nnd a dry September ; damp , cold weather will probably produce a largo tonnage , but invariably tha beet is poor in sugar. Harvesting is done most economically by the use of a scuffle hoe , which nan bo used whllo standing in an erect position , and a good man can easily tano the tops off of about an aero a day , after which a boot puller drawn by a team of horses will pull the boots up and lay thorn on top of the ground at the rate ot about two to tbreo acres a day. It is believed that this coming fall an Im plement will be in the market whereby the beet can bo lopped , taken out of the ground and thrown into a wagon , which is tbo only implement now necessary to practically do away with much , if hot ail baud labor. A liberal statement of the cost of planting an cere of boots is as follows : Plowing , per aero , 10 Inches deep It 1 75 IIarrowlnir , per aero lu I'lunklnjr. per aero 10 Cost of seed , poracrolallowlngSO pounds ) 2 00 Seeding same , per uoro : w HollliiK , per acre 10 Hunching with a hoe 150 ThlniiliiKouttlio bunches. . . . , 400 Cultivating ( three times , Ujo per time ) . . . . 7."i Cutting the tops off with u sotilllo boo. . . . 1 T > 1 1'ulllug beets with horse beet puller 1 no Total cost of boots ready to bo thrown Into thu wagon $13 CO It is estimated that an average crop is fifteen to eighteen tons ; depends entirely on how far the bents have to be hauled , or whether they will have to bo shippoa by rail or not , as to how much it costs to got thorn to tbn factory. The farmer , however has to deliver his corn or other products of tbo farm , so this item depends entirely on cir cumstances. It is believed that with proper attention live acres ot wall attended beets , with u fa v- orablo season , will yield to tbo producer more than sixty acres of corn.

WHY EXPENSES EXCEED THE RECEIPTS TrnfUc In Through Mull Mnttor ( 'IrtfRrit to the l.oeiillty Tlirouijli Which the Trunk I.IMP * I'IIM Omntin'ii I'ontolllco Mum In p. WASIIINOTOX , D. C. , March 0. [ Spoclnl to TUB Dun. ] The ofllciuls of the PoitofHco department hnvo prenaroil aomo Interesting nml instructive information rolalinR to the operations of the postal system In Nebraska. The mostnoUcaahlo feature In this prasontn- tton , ami it requires an explanation nt the start. , Is the largo excess of the postal ex penditures over the postal receipts , the deficiency crodltod to NohmsKix being much over a million dollars. This deficiency is principally duo to the largo amount paid for tno transportation of the malls , In which the people of tno state nro but partially Interested , as the depart ment in Its molnoils of bookkeeping charge Nebraska with Its quota of the amount * paid for the carriage of the heavy "throuch malls. " Thcro is no way of getting at the precise sum so expended , but , with the many trunk railroads passing ever the tnrritory of the state , It must bo of sufllciont size tn nearly , if not entirely , wipe out the accred ited rtollcloncy. But to return to the llguros and facts local to Nebraska. Sonic Intcrcntlng Figures. The total postal receipts in ttio stale last year amounted to 81,011,7(50.1" ( , whllo the total expenditures reached the Hum of ? . ' , " 17- 54.io : , making the ox cos j of expenditures ovorrocoiptM ? IVJO,9J.18. ! ) Of course it , can easily bo understood that , locally considered , no such deficiency Is chargoabloto Nobraslto. Of course the main rollnnco of the postal revenues Is the sales or postngo stumps , stumped envelopes and postal curds , which brought In $9lo,8l.SIj. ( ! From boxronti there vvoro secured $ ti.,815.U4 , und oven the sales of waste paper ytoldcJ the small sum of $02.41. As ulroady indicated the largest sin- Klo itotn of expoiullturo was bv far for the transportation of the malls , the sum thus credited to Nebraska having boon $1,533- 940.20. This item will bo analyzed further along. There were paid to postmasters as com pensation $342SSU.)1 : ) , and for clerks tn post- offlcei , rent , fuel and hqht , $9. ) , 15.3U. : ) The letter carriers received $79,010.30 and the railway postonico clerks rnninB on the hues through the state got $103,753.03 also , it might bo added , a just charge to mail trans portation. J'or Jlnll Trnnspnrtiitloii. Some Idea ot how enormous arc thoohargos for the transportation of the mails in Ne braska may bo held from the following com parative statement of the receipts and ex penditures for the last couple of years : Total receipts In 1SOO. $ ' .W3,000.'J7 ' ; in 1891 , $1,011,760.17 ; IncroHso , SI7,7'J'J.20 : total ox- Dondlturosin 1890. $1,770,010.07 ; 1891 , $ J.2l7- 754.33 ; increase , ? 14,773,823. Now comes the place whore , from the figures given , it can readily bo soon why such a heavy doilcioncy is charged against Nebraska. The total length of all malt routes in Nebraska is 12,2S2.'J ! ) ' miles , carried on at an annual oxpunso of $1,5111,414.80. Of this the star routes take In 5,255.83 milus , the expenditures for this essentially local service being only $8,804,154. The railroad mail lines are0,550.44 miles long , the llrst cost of which is J1,3I5,338.57 , to which must bo added for railway postolllco cars 8144,803.45 , making in all for the railroads , $1,459,097.02. Interior Scrilco Very Ktpcnslve. The star service was reduced 12.2.35 miles during the year , and the cost curtailed ? 700,172. . Hut With an extension of 232.18 miles in the railroad mall lines the expendi tures wont up ? 107.170.03. The total number of postoffices in Nebraska is 1,127 , an increase - crease of twenty within the year , the num ber of now oQlcos established having boon tlfty-ouo , while thirty-one of those in opera tion \voro discontinued. As for the post masters , 193 reiignnd , thirty-four were removed - moved and live died. While there are ever 1.100 postofllcos in the state , comparatively few of thorn contribute the bulk of the postal revenues. Tbcso are the presidential postofllcos , with Omaha at their head , so termed because the salary at tached being at least $1,000 the postmaster is commissioned by the prosidont. The pres idential postofllces in Nebraska are oighty- llvo in number , and the following statistic * apply to them : Gross receipts , $035,359.17 ; salaries of postmasters , $120,578.1X1 ; clerk hire , $03,483 37 ; rent , lights and fuel , $21- 742.87 ; other incidental ex ponses , $1,343.04 ; free delivery service , $79,009.10 : total ux- ponsos , $291,107.13 ; not revenue , $394,192.04. The expenses wcro only 42 per cent ot tbo gross receipts. Ilumla of 1'oatnmaters. Like others , the postmasters of Nebraska are under bonds { or the faithful performance of dul v , the total amount tboroof being $ j- 493,5011. The people of the state use the reg istry system liberally , as can bo seen from tbo following : Domestic rcgistorod loiters mailed last year , 131,013 ; parcels , 11,39 , ) ; foreign registered loiters mailed , 7,452 : par cels , 1,018 ; Tree registered matter , 39,731 ; total , 19l,0o7 ; fees received , $15,037.00. The money order system is a distinct branch of the postal establishment and its statistics bavo not boon included In tbenbovo statement. Tboyaro of interest , however , as can bo soon from the following , which shows the extent of its operations in fro- braska : Domestic money ardors Usued,223- 030 , the fnco value of which was Sl,03l,43.85 and the fees t.hcroon $10,129.47. Postal notes issued , 199,041 ; amount , $307,817.70 : foes , $3,978.55. International money orders issued , 5,233 ; amount. $70b07. < . )0 ) ; fees , $010.30.

Of the 1,127 postofllcos in Nebraska there are 050 olllccs that return no revenue to the govern ment , as tbo receipts are all absorbed by the compensation of tbo postmasters. This is not u largo percentage , however , when con trasted with other states.
