Dldwell , General Manager of the Nebraska-Wyoming Division of the Northwestern Talks Is Op timistic for the West. A Washington correspondent lind a talk with ( Jeo. F. Bldwoll , general manager of the Nebraska-Wyoming division of the Northwestern who was In the city to see about the status of the hill opcnliiK up the Rosebud In dian reservation to sottloincnt , and gave the following to the press : George Uldwoll of the Northwest ern road , speaking of the opening of the Rosebud reservation , said that the people of Nebraska wore as vitally Interested In throwing the reserva tion open to settlement as the people of South Dakota. Mr. Uldwoll said that the day the bill was signed by the president the movement to the reservation would begin and ho bo- lloved 100,000 people would bo brought together , many of whom would permanently settle In the coun try. Ho predicted that with the res ervation open to homestead settle ment It would add 25,000 people to South Dakota's population In two years. The South Dakota delegation be- Hove that the president's opposition to the Rosebud bill in Its present shape will bo overcome and that ho will sign the bill when presented to him. Should ho Insist upon a modi fication Insofar as the lands should bo sold to the highest bidders , then Senators Gamble and Klttrcdgo will endeavor to pass the bill , allowing the responsibility of the veto to rest with Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. BIdwell Is an optimist when It comes to a question of tight times during next year. Ho said that de pressions might como to the country east of the Mississippi river , but to the westward of that great artery there could be no hard times , for farmers had larger crops than ever before and had more surplus grain In their granaries for market than ever before In the history of the west. The railroads , he said , would have to move these great crops , and as the outlook was most promising for a i bumper crop in 1904 he saw no good reason for the predictions of eastern capitalists and , merchants regarding a * threatening business depression. i "The west will do the business of the country until the east catches up , " said Mr. Bidwell , who left today for Norwich , Conn , , his boyhood home , which he has not seen for many years. _ _ _ _ _ _ HAVE EYES ONJORFOLK BOY University Football Captain Comes j t up to Persuade.

Rish Buys the Shop of His Brother , W. H. Rish. O. W. Rish has bought out the plumbing business heretofore owned by his brother , W. H. Rish and has taken possession. Until the ICth , the business will continue at its present location on West Main street but af ter that date It will be moved to 120 South Fourth street , just across from the United States court house. Mr. Rish will live In the rooms In con nection , and will at all times be avail able to his customers. W. H. Rish will move with his fam ily to Pendleton , Oregon , and ex pects to leave about the 10th of the month. For some time past ho has not been enjoying good health and the move is taken with the hope that the Oregon climate will prove bene ficial. O. W. Rish , who succeeds to the business , has had ample experience In all line of plumbing work , having been at It since he commenced work ing for himself. For a number of years ho has had charge of important railroad work , and has before worked at his trade In Norfolk , being at one time associated with his brother In the business. He Is well known to most of his brother's patrons and will have no difficulty , it is believed , In holding the old customers in line and securing new ones. PEOPLE SWEARING AT WEATHER The Cold Spell That Has Been HangIng - Ing Around is Bad. The coal man Is smiling these days but the average man Is swearing very fiercely at the weather. The Ice man had almost enough of the cold before this last spell , and ho really could have got on very well without It. Frozen pipes have resulted In a ma jority of houses and the ordinary resi dent , leaving home , has to turn off the water pipes. It is a general hope that this severe bit of biting tempera ture may break winter's backbone and convert the chill Into a warm and balmy air. March is coming along pretty quick now and everybody re members the old Htory about coming In like a lion and that other silly end ing about going out like a lamb. Nor folk people as a rule would bo willing to take chances on the going out , If it would only do the coming in stunt HKo It ought Social Session of the Elks Held Saturday Evening. IN HONOR OF W. H. BUCHOLZ Members Express Sincere Regret that He is About to Leave the Jurisdic tion of the Lodge , but They Wish Him Success in His New Home. No person ever left Norfolk with so many regrets at his departure and so many good wishes attending him as W. II. Bucholz , if the sentiments expressed at the social session of the Elks Saturday night are any Indica tion of the feeling which prevails In the city. After the regular business of the session had been disposed of , a long table was quickly installed down the length of the lodge room and a substantial repast was served. In due course of time cigars were brought , and Exalted Ruler Robert son announced that Past Exalted Rul er Reynolds would officiate as toastmaster - master , which he did in his usual happy style , throwing a tremendous effort into an attempt to brighten up the atmosphere , when the speakers became despondent over the parting with Mr. Bucholz. One after another of the members responded as their names wore culled and each testified to the belief that the lodge , the finan cial institution of which Mr. Bucholz has been the head , and society and business of the town will lose one of Its most valuable members when ho departs for his new home in Califor nia. There were recalled his services to the lodge as a member and officer , to the customers of his bank by whom he has been consulted during many years In their financial difficulties as they have their physician at time of physical ailment , his value to the prepress - press and upbuilding of the town as an enterprising , public spirited citi zen , his loyalty as a friend , and his sterling honesty and Integrity. Those who have known him since ho came here twenty-two years ago and have watched his career since ho became connected with the Norfolk National bank eighteen years ago , were strong est In their expressions of sorrow at the parting , and yet they would not change the condition , for they realize that In going to Oakland , California , to accept the position of cashier In the Central bank , one of the most im portant institutions on the coast , he Is but broadening his sphere of influ ence and usefulness and the hopes that wore uttered for his future suc cess were unstinted. Notwithstand ing Mr. Reynolds' efforts to put life Into the meeting , however , there was more of sadness than Joy Saturday night , as the time for parting with Mr. Bucholz came. Mr. Bucholz was so overcome with the many kind sentiments that ho was scarcely nblo to control hlm.solf while ho thanked the members. Ho said it was the hardest thing ho had over undertaken in his life , this breaking of homo ties and leaving longtime friends to go into a now locality to carve his way among strangers , but lie hoped to .so conduct lilniHclf that In future no one In Nor folk would over bo ashamed to meet him and call him friend.
