Trane in the Northwest.
DoUUl.AS, Wvo., Aug. 4th, 1000.
Atlimicu scums to bo tho coming
town of tho northwest. Already with
a population of nearly or quite 3,000
people and it is growl tie every day.
New Urieks are joing up nil over the
town. Tho railroad Co. have a very
large round house already and nre
building an inimeiiso machine shop
near it. The people of Alliance are
looking confidently forward to the
erection of a large iron oro smelter in
this town and if appearances are not
deceiving I believe their expectations
will be ronlizid The iron is found in
great abundance and very near pure
at Guernsey, 80 miles south, at the end
of the It. & M. road, and the :oal is at
New Castle on the stuio road north
west but on another branch so that it
looks like Alliance might becomo tho
meeting point of tho two commodities
and there would be woiked into cu
gines, plow slinrcs and pins.
1 hero are a good many colored peo
ple iu Alliance, probably more than
there are white people in Cowles.
John Foster would have more trouble
-in handling the colored votes iu Itox
Hullo Co. if he lived hero thin he does
in Webster Co , even with Oliver
Hedge to help him.
leaving Alliance 1 jninieyed south
west on the now lines of the H. & M.
to Soott's HlulYs where I stopped over
Sunday with Odear Yurger and family,
formerly of lied Cloud. Ojcar has Hie
station here and as Curing, the county
seat, is only two miles away, i'. is a
good place and they are doing well.
On Sunday we climbed to the top of
Scott's Muff, 700 feet above tho level
of the river which washes its foot.
Most of the way it is about like the
roof of a ho.ise to climb, but in places
it is much steeper with niches cut iu
the rocks to stick your toes in. Al
though this is noted us being the most
picturesque spot in Nebraska, I am
not going to climb it any more.
Leaving Curing, I traveled by stago
to Kimball on the U. P. 11. 11., fifty
miles south. This is a lovely ride and
one which 1 enjoyed the most of any
on my work although sovcral timos wo
all had to get out and walk up the
steep and rocky pitches. There was a
nice young widow on tho stago who
had been visiting her uncle at Goring
and was goiug back to her homo in
lowu. It was a lovely trip.
The country along tho U. P. It. 11. is
in a very prosperous condition. Kim
ball, Sidney, Dig Springs, Julesburg,
Ogallnla and North Platte, all aro nice
towns. At North riatto 1 visited tho
ranch of Huil'alo Hill, and also passed
by his home in the city where his
family dwell, lie has everything nico
at both places. Two large IjulTalo are
in the yard at his home in the city
smiled.
Staging it from North l'latto to Cur
tis, fifty miles across the sand hills is
not so pleasant as going across from
Gering. Curtis is a live town. West of
there on the 15. & ,M. road the towns
are dead. Wellileet, Wallace, (Smut
and other places that used to he towns
of 1000 pcoplu anil over now have less
than lOOatul buildings are falling down.
At Giant thus ore building once occu
pied by Alfred lladcll as a largo gro
cery Is no .being used as a chicken
roost by the hens of the blacksmith
who uses one of tho brick banks, long
since busted, for his shop. Grant is
almost like Goldsmith's "Deserted
Village," and 1 will always think of it
with a shudder, us a raving manlao
was chained in a cellar not far from
tho hotel and his crivs and ravings
kept me awake until two o'clock in tho
morning, when ho dropped into a
troubled sleep and so did I. I was
glad to leave Grant and get to Chey
enne, a rustling town of the pnro
western typo, wtiere everything is go
and push. Here I met Douglas Gather
another lied Cloud boy who has a good
position as assistant manager of the
Adams Express Co. at that place.

TO WATKlt CONSUMKItS: Owing to
tho shortago of water It is necessary
that every consumer uso city water as
sparingly as possible Uy doing so tho
city can furuish good well water foe
coiisuiiKi's. A wasteful uso of water
will necessitate the turning in of tho
creek, which will bo detrimental to all.
Coiisunmers will pleaso held this if
thoy want good water.
