COUNCIL BLUFFS , Sept. 2. To the Editor
of Tun Biii : : Every year the city appoints a
man to look after loose stock and collect the
dog tax.
For a few days there is a great bluster ,
and people hklo their dogs , when it
Is all over , and there is the same old
howl , yelp and bark as before. The western
part ol the city is cursed with an army of
worthless dogs that make Hfo miserable and
the nicrh1 , hideous by their noise. Sick
people can't rest for the racket that Is kept
up. The city could either put $1,1)00 ) in the
treasury or rid the city of the nuisance. Not
ono cur in fifty has a collar on , hence no tax
lias been paid.
Now if one has to pay a dog tax , all should
bo compelled to do It. Sotno men keep from
four to six dogs. Can't something bo done

It 1ms often boon observed that in the
eastern cities women sent out on night
details are compelled to go unattended ,
while hero in San Francisco , says the
Californlan , If a woman is sent out Lilt
all on a detail that involves the least
exposure to the rough element she is
provided with an escort. Indeed , in
San Francisco and other western cities ,
women are not often assigned to other
night work than that of dramatic and
society reporting , or lecture unu associa
tion reporting.
Few women arc employed on the daily
press in San Francisco. The Cull has
one woman on its utalT ; the Chronicle
employes ono woman , but it is an Innova
tion ; the Examiner employs two and
sometimes thrco women ; the Post ,
the Bulletin and the
Report have i no
women on the regular staff ; the NO\VH
Letter employs ono , Iho Wasp three ,
the Argus ono and the West End
ono. The press of the west is uniformly
courteous to women workers and their
olTortH in the right direction.
With its support the newspaper
women of the Pacific slope have broudor
possibilities and opportunities than any
other similar association in the country ,
for the reason that the west is young
nnd its condition formative , ami the
progress they are making is Indicative
that they tire taking every advantage ; of
their bituulion.

The borders of the Cherokee strip
which is to bo opened to entry and set
tlement at noon , September 10 , are
Hanked with land hunters preparing for
the rush. It is believed the stampede
will surpass that of Oklahoma , as the
largo number of unemployed will swell
the ranks of the professional land mm-
The strip is 200 miles long and fifty-
six miles wide and embraces 8,1-14W2 (
ncrcs. It lies between the With and 100th
parallels of west longitude , with the
Southern border line of Kansas as its
northern boundary aud the Creole coun
try and the territory of Oklahoma us Its
southern. It will bo seen that it sepa
rates the major portion of Oklahoma
from the strip formerly known as "No
Man's Land , " but now part of Oklahoma.
Topographically it Is a rolling country ,
broken here and there by hills and up
lands and interspersed with smiling val
leys and Eden like bottoms. It is plou-
toously watered , and the water combos
are skirted with line timber , oak , wal
nut , cedar , ash , beech aud hickory.
The soil of the bottom lands and prai
ries is soft and loamy , black us ink and
of marvelous fertility. The undulating
pruirioa uro covered with a thick growth
of llowory vegetation , mule of tim
ber and brush. Both the bottom lands
and prairies offer ideal conditions tor
the practically unlimited production of
corn , wheat , tobacco , cotton and pota
toes. Upon the ridges and divides tlio
land is not so well adapted to agricul
ture , but as the forest growth is slight
they furnish splendid pastures for
sheep and cattle , being profusely clothed
with succulent "bunch grass. " Owing
to this self-cured "bunch grass" and to
the mildness of the eliimUo and the
abundance of water , the hillv regions
nro claimed by old sheep growers to af
ford the bi&t sheep country in the world.
KvtriiitUo S.ilt .Uiiralirs.
In the northwestern oart of the strip
are extensive salt marshes , und to the
cast of thorn is the great s > alt plain , on
the Salt fork of the Arkansas rivor.com-
prising thousands of acres. In some
tracts the salt is found on tlio surface of
the ground and along the edges of the
streams. There are also vast fields of
salt beautifully erystallzed , which greet
the eve of the traveler a long distance
before ho roaches thorn. It would ap
pear that there is suit enough to supply
the whole country , and it can bo had
merely for the handling. Hitherto it
has been extensively used on the neigh
boring cattle ranches und 1ms boon
hauled to towns in southern Kansas and
sold. All the Indians of the territory
have had free access to it for their sup
plies. In wet weather and high water
there is little or no bolt to bo been , but
after three or four dry days it appears
again on tno surfaceas before described ,
from six to twelve inches thick. On
September 27 , 1719.Lioutonunt Du Tisne ,
from the French garrison at Kaskaskia ,
i'-alsod the French Hag on these salt
plains and look possession in the name
of the king. Ho was the first white
settler to enter the strip from the east ,
as Dionisio had been from the west.
IlullrouilB unit Streams.
The strip is already traversed by four
lines of railroad , with several other
lines just a little ou'.sido. Two of the
strip lines uro branches of the Atchispii ,
Topeka & Santa Fo , ono running
obliquely through the western end in a
south westerly direction and the other
running southward from Kansas through
the Chilocco Indian Industrial School
reservation into Oklahoma at the east
ern side. A third , the Chicago , Kansas
& Nebraska , runs southward through
the center of the strip , and the fourth ,
the Kanbas & Arkansas Valley road ,
cuts through the northwestern corner.
In the western portion , along the line
of thq Atchison , Topeka & Santa Po
railroad , tire the settlements of Warren ,
Alva , Noel , Euglo Chief , Wuynoka ,
Nimrod , Button , GrilMii , Warwick ,
Woodward , Orluml , Norris , Gage ,
Stockton und Goodwin. Iu the eastern
side , on the other branch of the same
road , are the stations of Ponca and
Ma"iioliii , besides a number of settle
ments on what wore formerly the reser
vations of the Tonkawas , Kansas ,
Pawnee and Osage Indians. On tlio
northern border , upon a reservation of
8,040 acres , is the Chilocco school. By
the terms of the law opening the strip
it will bo continued in operation and
the ruborvation made permanent. In
tlio western part of the Htrip is the
establishment known ns Camp Supply
Military reservation.
Besides the Big Citnarron river In the
west nnd the Arkansas in the east , there
uro these creeks : Beaver , Buffalo , Wolf ,
Sand , Sleeping Boar , Skeleton , Mul
berry , Indian , Traders , Turkey , Bull
Bear , Ewers , S cull and Eagle Cniof , all

How It Will no Settled.
By the terms of that act no person is
permitted to occupy or enter upon the
land except In the manner prescribed by
the president's proclamation opening it
to settlement , and any person otherwise
occupying or entering upon it forfeits all
right of acquisition in the future. All
intruders already on the ground are re
quired to bo removed as trespassers , but
provision is made that such as occupied
houses and had barns , fences , crops or
other improvements prior to August 11 ,
1880 , should , before their removal , bo in
demnified by the Cherokee nation for
their improvements upon an appraise
ment of their value by a board of three
experts especially appointed for that of
fice by the president of the United
States. Such improvements thereupon
become the property of the Cherokee
nation. The amount paid for thorn must
not exceed $250,000 in all , and the ap
praisers iiHletorinining the value of the
improvements may consider the value of
the occupation of the land.
The Cliurolcco Allotment * .
Citizens of the Cherokee nation wno ,
prior to November 1 , 1891 , had made
permanent and valuable improvements
upon any portion of the strip for farming
purposes have had the right to select
one-eighth of a section of land each , in
conformity with the government nur
voys , upon the sites of their improve
ments , and their wives and children
have boon at liberty to make bimilar
selections of lands improved by their
husbands and fathers , though each ono
so taking allotments must forfeit $112
from his or her per capita share of the
purchase money received by the natio'n
for the strip. ' The number of such allot
ments Is restricted to Bovonty , not to
exceed in the aggregate 5,000 acres , and
the sum of $1.40 per acre is to bo deducted -
ducted from the full amount duo the
Cherokee nation.
The&o allotments to the number of
seventy as permitted have now been
selected , and permission has boon given
to the owners or.TJmlnmntH to file proof
and argument in1 inolr support at the
Interior department/ / until September 1
next. The delay 'Hi ' opening the strip
has been oecasioried by the slowness
with which the allotments wore selected
and located. An'brigliml map , showing
the location 'of oach"allotincnt , has just
been prepared uiid < published by the de
partment for the 'information ' and guid
ance of prospective Settlers , and will bo
distributed at all'thb ' principal points in
the noighborhood'oMno ' strip.

Tlio Masnltuile or the Hotel Buslncas.
Some idea of the enormous proportions
the business of
hotel-keeping has as
sumed in this country , says a writer in
the North Amocican Review , may bo
gained from the fact that there are in
the United states upwards of thirty
thousand hotels , exclusive of what may
bo termed inns and taverns and what
are commonly known as apartment
houses , although the latter nro in many
nstanco conducted as hotels , in that ]
hey have a common kitchen and dining-
oom. During the past two years there
lave boon opened in the City of Now
York four now hotels , the aggregate
est of which including furniture
vas upwards of $10,000,000. They
ire veritable palaces , both in archi
tectural design and interior splendor ,
and jrot they may bo said to bo only in
scoping with a largo number of hotels
with : which our citizen * have for years
joon familiar. In
proof of this , and as a
lotublo fact , it may bo mentioned that
n the muniiiipal tax levy for the cur-
oiit your the highest valuation put upon
any building , but one , in the whole city
of Now York , is placed upon a hotel
hat has enjoyed a world-wide fame for
more than thirty years , and another
curious fact is. that tlio two hotels bear"
ng the highest assessed valuations ate
; wo of the oldest in the city , thus illus
trating the high character maintained
b t > y the hotels of Now York for many
rcnorations.
The Hlniul-Spotteil "Mlko" Apples.
Tlio so-culled "Mlko"
apples of east
ern Connecticut have a queer history ,
so it is related. Micah Rood was a oiico
thrifty farmer in old Norwich town. His
habits suddenly changed , anil ho became
idle , restless and intemperate. Ho nog-
looted his work and shunned his neigh
bors. Some thought the change duo
to witchcraft , others to Insanity.
When the apple trees blossomed In
the spring , on one tree the flow
ers hud turned from white to rrod. The
neighbors wondered much.and especially
as Rood was drawn to this tiee by a re
sistless facination. When the yellow
applet ripened in the full , ouch ono was
found to contain a red globule which
was known afterwards as the "drop of
blood. " The people remembered that
a foreign peddler had passed through
the village in the previous fall
and had stopped over night
at Rood's ' house , and the story
grow that ho had killed him for his
money and buried the body under this
tree. Search revealed nothing concern
ing the peddler , but the people.said the
evidence of Rood's guilt was summed up
in his disturbed spirit and the blood-
mottled apples. Micah Rood lost all
interest in hUfurm , became a dopundent
on tlio town , and died in 1717. But so
long as the blood-spotted apples grow
they will be known as the "Mike" upplos
and will perpetuate the story of his life.
