Investigating the West
Mr. Willis J. Abbot, long connected
with tho Hearst newspapers nnd wide
ly known as tho chief publicity man of
the democratic national Committee
last year, passed through Alliance last
Thursday on a Burlington private car,
as the guest of Mr. O. L. Dickcson.
Mr, Abbot, when seen in the car,
spoke about tho purpose of his trip,
which is to cover tho new territory be
ing opened by tho Burlington Hoad in
tho Northwest, and particular) tho Big
Horn Basin.
"I believe," he said, "that all signs
point to n great interest among the
American people in farming lands. It
has been perfectly apparent for months
that the people in the cities of the east
arc more and more looking westward
with the view of escaping somo of the
unhappy conditions of metropolitan
life and making themselves independ
ent by taking up lands which can now
be had at a moderate price.
"I have spent seven or eight mouths
in Europe, making a careful study of
the methods by which a comparatively
small country, like Belgium, for ex
ample, can support a population nearly
fifteen times greater thau that of Texas
and vastly greater than that of any of
our northwestern Btates. They do it
by utilizing every force of nature. Wo
are just beginning to imitate their
methods and, perhaps, the longest step
is the development of the scientific sido
of irrigation.
"It is to see what progress has been
made along this line that I am making
this journey. The Burlington road
officials understand that the prosper
ity of tho road depends upon the
prosperity of the communities which it
serves. It does not wish to have set
tlers located on lands that cannot be
profitably tilled because, in such event,
those settlers will not add to the busi
ness of tho road. The interests of the
road and its patrons are identical.
"While my trip is purely a personal
one, tho officials of the Burlington
road have been kind enough to furnish
me with' statistics and records and
every possible assistance in the work
of determining what the conditions arc
in UriVgrowiug'territory.j Of course, I
expect to' publish my conclusions short
ly after returning to tho east."
Amusements.
The Spedden-Paige Stock Co. will
play at the Phelan Opera House all
week, commencing Monday, Sept. 20.
This is the first appearance of this
company in Alliance, but Mr. Sam
Spedden's organization is well and fav
orably known throughout the middle
states in which he lias toured with this
company for the past 13 years- Tho
Deadwood papers devoted a whole col
umn towards eulogizing tho company
as one of the very best during their re
cent engagement there, and the Sheri
dan press confirms the opinion. Messrs.
Brown & Harris anticipate a crowded
house Monday night and personally
guarantees the quality of the attrac
tion, wwwww
