After a six-day tour of San Francisco and environs, tho long trip to Van couver was begun via tho Southern, Northern and Canadian Pacific lines. The Southern Pacific runs to Sacra mento, thence northward into tho beau tiful and luxuriant Sacramento Valley, and on in its winding way, encircling Mt. Shasta, to Portland, Oregon. If the most imaginative man had been as signed the task of planning mountain scenery, his ideal would scarcely havo approached that presented by tho Shasta route in grandeur. Shasta not only rises moro than 500 feet higher than Pike's Peak, but it lifts its snow-white crest at a point whore no competitor is nearer than fifty miles, which causes it to stand out double its real height, while the Colorado peak is so nearly upon a level with several of its towering neigh bors that tho uninitiated are kept guess ing as to which is the real Pike's Peak, Shasta Springs at the foot of tho peak pours forth a torrent of health laden waters, presenting a sight which brings the fast train to a halt for ten minutes in, order that every tourist may see and drink and snap his kodak to his heart's content, even if his train is two hours hile. Shasta water is shipped throughout the United States and sold to tlioso who find it a pana cea for life's ills. A two hours' stop at Portland en abled us to inspect tho shipping in tho harbor; thence wo hastened on via tho Northern Pacific, crossing tho Colum bia river by ferry, requiring twenty minutes, and arriving in Seattle after a run of two days and two nights, the greater part of tho journey requiring two engines and tho territory adjacent Shasta requiring three. In places the grade is so steep tho thrco mountain qlimbing battleships grumbled and growled as if anxious to give up the job of Alpino climbing to the Maker of the. mountains. It requires only a few steps in thought to discover that tho Mountain Builder climbs the moun tains drawing tho train of human freight. He hid away the coal after sealing it full of potential energy. Tho coal is appropriated by man, burned in the furnace to heat water, which i3 transformed into steam; the steam is then harnessed in a cylinder and compelled to turn tho drive wheels. Man xloea tho most insignificant part, but nevertheless, without the co-operation of man tho wheels remain idle. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the man who has much to with the iron horse ought to bo more brave and loyal than any Knight of the Round tabloin Ins fidelity to the God that planted the possibilities .in ordinary coal and water. Traveling long distances many valu able acquaintances are made. En iuiuc uvui aan rrancisco, 1 naa as a traveling companion a student from Leland Stanford university who was on his way to do surveying in British Additional Local, George Darling tho Furniture Dealer. Columbia, Through him I camo in touch with one of my old professors who is now holding a professorship In tho Stanford. Arriving at Seattle tho union depot was crowded, but cro I left the car I saw tho uplifted hand of Mr. Arnold Zbindcn, a business man of this city, signalling to me from the densest por tion of the crowd. He is a brother of Jnles Zbinden, an up-to-date busi ness man of Alliance, and it is needless to relate particulars. Suffice it to say, however, that ho was the very soul of courtesy and loft nothing undone that could bo done to make my stay in Se attle both interesting and profitable. Scarcely a dozen years ago Seattle was little more than an Indian trading post but Blnce then it has sped forward by leaps and bounds until it now has a population of moro than a tenth of a million with an up-to-date appearance, putting nfany an eastern city to shame by comparison. Electric and cable cars arc everywhere. Banks are in abundance with enormous capital, is suing letters of credit on tho world. Business is of sufficient importance to justify eleven foreign nations in main taining consuls here. One ship sailed last week carrying a cargo for Japan valued at almost a million dollars. Be ing tho chief outfitting depot on the Pacific coast for Alaska, her business men are making money at a rate that beggars description. Rightly may she bear the .title, Queen City of the Northwest." Of all the diversified busiucss inter ests that of the Alaska Portable House company is tho most unujuc. This company deals in houses by retail or wholesale, keeping a supply on hand from which orders arc filled and build ings delivered in a way similar to the Box Butto courthouse. Here is their for sale ad: " Ready-made school- houses, store rooms, Hotels of 100 rooms or moro, dwellings one and two stories of four, six, eight or moro rooms, suitable for warm or cold cli mate." All you have to do if you have no timo to call and inspect is to send for a catalogue, remit the price with the number of tho house you desire, and awaken the next morning with a i5o-room house in your front yard ready for occupancy. If American in genuity and enterprise meets no Wat erloo, I am ready to read without shock the advertisement of some ven turesome organizer stating, " Havo a seat, sir. Cities made to order while you wait." At present Seattle is of particular in terest to the Nebraskan fpr hero the large battleship named the Nebraska is being built, which when completed will excel the Orcgonm mjiiy particulars and place our own state foremost in representation among tho war dogs of tho navy. E. C. Horn. Dr. Horn's next .letter will be writ ten from Vancouver, B. C, and tho following one will be from Yokokama, Japan. Editor. :.:.:.:.j.. I Choice Winter Apples ! :i I Eleven different kinds from 60 cents up at the Alliance Apple Cellar in the Capt. Corbin. Building. A. THIBLB Ksthcr, tho ncantlful Queen. This beautiful oratorio will bo artistically' rendered to Alliance people at Phclau Opera House on Friday and Saturday evenings, so that all our people may have a chance to see and to hear this beautiful composition Of the historic characters and incidents so vividly portrayed by the author. There are very few compositions to surpass this cantata in beauty of arrange ment, and tho harmony of the many solos, ducts, quartettes, and choruses as are found in Queen Esther. Prof. Dlxlcr 3 a master hand to con duct tho rendition of thisf masterpiece, and we prophesy complete satisfaction to all so fortunate as to hear this grand composition rendered under Prof. Bixler's direction. Tho best singers in our city are helping in this admirable work, and this with the cos tumes and the splendid chorus support offers and entertainment seldom afforded our people, and we bespeak for this enter tainment the support of all our people, since the proceeds are to be applied to tho purchase of a piano for our public school, and not only will our citizens be gratified with a fine entertainment, -but also at tho same time be contributing toward a public benefit to the children of our schools and to the city. Reserved scats can be secured at the usual place. Those wishing to attend Fri day evening should reserve their seats on that day; so also on Saturday for the Saturday evening rendition. Price of tickets, 50 cents, with no extra charge for reserved seats. Programs containing a' cast of tho char acters will bo placed in every house, so that patrons may see the synopsis of tho oratorio, and look over the advertisements of our enterprising merchants. Dislikes Our Politics. D, E, Watson, a well-known and sub stantial stockman of Sheridan county, living northeast of Alliance has instructed us to send him The Herald for a year. Mr, Watson is ,a very staunch republican and says ho don't like our politics a little, but that ho is pleased with the paper other wise, and that his wife has been trying to get him tc subscribe for it for some time, All right, Mr. Watson, better late than never, and we're glad to have you on our list along with about seven hundred other republicans who seemingly have overlooked our "measly" politics. Besides, this wo will say, that we've done our best for the last year to "educate" you republicans, but evidently you don't seem to have paid a darned bit of attention to anything we said outside of county affairs. Now, then, we're g6ing to let you workout your own salvation for awhile and devote most of our space to local and general news.
