To Ibe E liter cf the Eoe. I would like to ssy through your widely circulsted paper , which repre sents < he west , but moro especially Nebraska , that thera is 110 country in the woild , north , couth , east orVest , so adapted by nature to sheep raising , us ibis Valley of the Republican. Every feature of the country fators it. The lnd is sufficiently rolling with open winters and a clear , dry atmos phere , while upon nearly every < oction of land there gushes forth from the ground clear beautiful airings of water. Is it not strange t'lat we should every year import wool from foreign countries with such a country as this i * , which invites east- jrn capital to invest in o handsomely oayine a department of agriculture , t would add also that here wo have he clearest streams , making the best ooseiblo water power for milisto man- ifacture the wool which will noon bo he leading product of this valley , as cotton of some of the southern states. Kiverton , December 1stJ. J. M. S. Our correspondent touches on a sibject of great importance to the f irmers of this state. No one of the srcstern states possesses such admir- aole resources for irool growing ss Nebraska. Other western states have more extensive ranges , and as dry an a'incsphere , but none have cultivated Miids and available sheep ranges in such close proximity as our own. This h an important element in cheep raia- tng , because sheep fcr mutton and hoop for wool must bo taken into ac count. The valleys cf the Elkhorrt , Loup and Republican rivers are un- sirpaEsed as ranges for sheep. All PDSSCSS a climate in winch the various diseases so common to sheep in the east are unknown. Admirable graz ing , open winters and araplo water sup ply offer a constant premium for the Investment of capital in thh branch of agriculture. Why , as our correspon dent aeks , should we import our sup ply of wool from abroad , when such magnificent opportunities for home growth nnd manufacture lie near at hind ! If Xebraskans would only awaken to the rich bonanza which our 1 B ate offers to sheep raisers , a few -1 years would place this state at the head of wool growers in the union. With a plentiful cupply of wool would follow the .erection and matiiten ance cf woolen factories on our ntreami aid rivers , and a good homo market for our farmers. One thing is certain , if our own people do not take up tint sabject others will reap the profit of superior business Jnsight Alreidy large droves of sheep are coming into the valleys of the North Platte coun try nnd another year will doubtlcie witness a still farther increase of sheep on the fertile and well-watered ranges of Nebraska. THE RIVER OOTLET. The thinkiug portion of the whole c nintry are directing their atlentior. t3 water transportation and the im provement of the water courses of tha country.To Gno but n western ftrnuT , merchant or shipper ciii fully appreciate the immense import ancaf an early opening of the great water vays of the continent to trade and commerce. A successful naviga tion of the Mississippi and Missouii rivcra would add millions a year to tbo wealth of the country in the siv iigs fnntchc'l from the hands of ruth less monopolies. Every year makes the aurpM'ing itnpurtanco of rivet iijpro\'eme"nt mere apparent. Gigan tic consolidations are , hydra- Ilk o , wrapping their iron gr p around the producers of the great treat. Immenie suma of money are being used to influence legislation and prevent the people from employing the remedy of the law ngainst their oppressor * . Rates are advanced until the earnings of the people are swept 1no * the railroad coflere , and trade and agriculture lose their grcateat stimulus , A fair nd sure profit on the investment. Ia the mean time , at our rery doors , liez an 3g nt ready to offer its services in relitving the people from their thralldom - dom , adequate to open up new regions to agriculture and industry and cap able of furnhhing a permanent check to corporate greed and monopoly es- tortion. Cheap transportation is the one crying need of the Great West. The river at our feet only needs a little encouragement to give the people of Nebraska perm anent solution of this great problem. Other states are taking up the ques tion with aa earnest determination wjich augurs well for their success. Kansas City is organizing a line tf barges between that city and St. Louis. St. Louis 'merchants have taken the prelimininaryjsteps towarcBfnrnifihing ample transportation facilities between that port and Xew Orleans. Now let Nebraska take her part in this great movement. The general government alone can make adequate improve ments on our great water ways , but wo cannot expect congress to act until wo have shown some disposition of our own to deal with this great and im portant subject. A few years will doubtless witnets the arrival of ocean steamers on the Mississippi > s high up , perhaps , as St. Louis. All the developments of naval architecture nro now in the line alof light draught vessels , and a steamtr drawing only tir feet of water , built on the model of the Lividla , in a pos sibility of the future. Shculd such prove the case , our In land citiea will become ports : for the shipment of western produce to Europe entirely by water. Barge lines will become the most profitable and effective means of bringing our grain down the river to the ports urof lading. Kaiiroad monopolies will lower their rates an ! colors , te re can and will ba Listened if our people > will take the matter in their own hands , end , by energetic work , draw , the attention of the country at large to the possibilities of river improve- ment and the consequent solution cf the all-important question cf cheap transportation.

Intensely cold weather is prevailing throughout the valleys of the foot hills The Homostako company employs forty teams hauling wood from Pen- nington. The suit of the King Solomon gold mine has been decided in favcr of the ( defendants. The Montana mining company , at Rockford , has been offered $35,000 for the Montana mino. Ranchers on the BSgbottom have completed their Ml plowing and report cattle as looking splendidly. The Caledonia mine at Central is only running twenty stamps on account of the scarcity of water. The government telegraph line was down last week , ueriously interrupting coramun'cation with the nor h. A large force of men are engaged in erecting poles for the telephone ex change ccmpsny o Dead wood. Developments in the King Solomon mine at Rochford will bo pushed at once. A fine body of ere has been struck. The Hoasestake company has de clared an extra dividend of thirty cents on the ehare , aggregating 800,000. The Homcstako mining company at LadXity ! uses oil taken from the apringa near Jenny's blockade , in thn lower Hills. Articles of incorporation for the Spatfish College have been drawn up and forwarded to the eeiretary of the territory. The Christian people of Deadwcod are united in their efforts to close up saloons and places cf business on the Sabbath. The Black Hills canal and water works are supplying Lead with all tha < ; beverage required , and of an excel lent qunlity. The Homeatako compiny Ia build ing a two-story brick tot of offices , and has a two hundred stamp mill in prospect. _ Mr. .Hallcy , teller of the First National Bank of Deadwood , will open a similar institution in Rapid with a capital cf § 50,000.

The HoTjestake company have been sinking a shaft on the Golden Stkr No. 2 location east of Lend City for some monflis past , bat have gone down to such a depth that the engine was insufficient to do the -work. A miner ne r Ouster placed a stock of Hercules powder under his cabin store , where his wife and children were. It exploded , tearing the build ing to pieces , but , strange to tay , in juring none of the occupants. Tha new water supply forDeadwood will come from Lad City. The ditch is now being made , and when comple ted , will connect with the Lead Uity tanks , snd will ba supplied f.om the Whiteirood , Nevada gulch and White- tail. tail.A A large number of sheep have been brought into the Hills within the past two months. Several parties have lo cated winter ranges in the vicinity of the Sundance mountains , and in an other year that country will pasture largo herds. The Galena mines are clamoring for a emollcr. There is an abundance of high grade ore , but there being no fa cilities for smelting , not much is be ing done -in the way of reduction. They could afford to pay fifty dollars a ton. A shaft on "tho Giant & Old Abe miue , st Lead City , hcs retched a depth of STO feet. The shaft is all the way in ore , and the new hoisting works when completed , will be the best in the Hills , and of a capacity to go down 2000 feet. Tha Father Da Smet mining com pany is advertising for contractors to supply their mill with ore from their mine. The Da Smet having got rich enough mining in its own ore , is will ing to give another man a chance. All tools will bo furnished by the compa ny , as well as all timbering. There is a movement on foot among some of the Scandinavian men at Lead to organize a company for the purpose of putting a man oat in the valleys somewhere to raise cattle , and pool their earnings and enable him to buy cattle to Increase h's stock and furnish him means to live on. The object is to let Jhe stock increase un til there is enough to divide and make ft living for all the stockholders. [ Black Hills Times. Apprenticeship Or a Substitute. St. Pan ! Honcer Press. Under iho presiure of a constantly increasing demand for skilled and in telligent labor , the Ames manufactur ing company , at Chicopee , . Mass. , is trying to bring about a return to the old apprenticethip system. Several of the leading edge tool companies of the east also contemplate adopting a similar course , on account of the dif ficulty of obtaining thoroughly com petent mechanics. In other vocations , also , there is a demand for that skill which in the iron-worker's art transforms five dollars' worth of raw iron into pen-knife blades worth $3,000 , Into ahirt but tons worth $29,000 , or into watch priags worth $200,000. In Germany , outside of the free education furnished by the state , there are some 250 scien- ti6c and professional schools , which afford - ford , o every pupil the opportunity of obtaining technical instruction and acquiring practical skill in some branch of useful industry. And this fact while it is In striking contrast with the neglect of technical educa tion in this country ia probably a sufficient explanation of the active ef forts now made to secure the services of pattern makers , designers and artis tic workmen from the cities of Ger many. It is doubtful if anything like the eld-fashioned system of aoprentico- ship can ever bo revived. Time was when , for the most part , the skilled artisan who was master of his trade ( worked at home or in n shop connec ted with his own house , assisted by a few younger workmen as journeymen. Iict his homo and family he would re ceive one or two lads to learn , ctd' during ' a four years' engagement , tne art and mysteries of his craft ; the master himself teaching thorn his ivorkj feeding and clothing them , anil IcP ooking carefully after their moral and P ersonal habits. But the extension o f : trades and the the nse of machinery has destroyed the rrti rrb cet and most important fea- tiit Ures of apprenticeship ! The master s no longer a craftsman , but an em- ito iloyer. Complicated machinery crowds o > ut the boy learner , and requires the s' killed workman'whose eyes and fin s's gers have already been trained in some s'g limilar occupation ; the master no lon g ger works at the trade , but directs and fir. inds the capital. The apprentice has r. > ecome merely the boy worker , at re duced rates and picking up the trade as best he can. He is pitchforked into t he business ; no ono is responsible for Y its training , and if ha doesn't like the i ob , he leaves In search of a better one and his place is srpplied by another boy from the street. But , while in many occupations ap prenticeship can never be restored to ts former value as a guarantee of good and efficient workmanship , some approach preach toward supplying Its place might be made if those rudiments of industrial training common to all the skilled avocations were taught in our public schools. Among the incidental banefits of society , epringing from a nholssome provision of this kind in corporated into the common school course' , it would greatly tend to cor rect the sickly and pernicious sentiment mont which now infests the youth _ o ; our public schools touching the digni y of manual labor occupations. Youth ful hoodlumiam , which has become the standing reproach of American cities , is largely made up of unplaced , idle and incapable young fellows , who were full of good intentions when they left the public school ? , but who bad Imbibed a dread of hard work. They were resolved to trust to luck and take their chances out side the swarming.dinner-pail brigade but finding no soft place ready to fall into , they quickly soured and degen erated in theatmospheroof the street. It generally takes a year or two of vicious vagabondage to get this non sense out of their head ) , and dispose them to buckle into the serious work of earning a living. It appsars that nhety-two per cent , of our criminals are directly traceable to the unskilled and half-educated laboring classes ; and this fact goes far to prova that it is cheaper to teach the child the ele ments of corno honest calling in an industrial school than it is to teach a man a trade in the penitentiary. The better educa ed our artisans are the better workmen they will make if the education is of the right sort ; is in the line of their fu ture career , not away from it. The Natural Science Monthly insists that the education which wd offer to the children of our artieaus , who will form the artisans of the next genera tion , is of a character purely literary ; in no sense technical , or even scien tific. It is an education which , so far as it goes beyond the three clemeiits of reading , writing and arithmetic , is formed in nil its essential features up on an exclusively coltegiato type of atudiei ; tjrammar , history , geography , foreign languages and the like being introduced to the exclusion of draw ing , practical mechanics , the knowl edge of woods , metala and textile fab rics , manual dexterity in the uao of tools of all , in fact , that most nearly concerns the workman throughout his entire career. If we kosp our future artisans till they arrive at tha pge of fifteen or sixteen' employed sitting at a desk , pen in band , to follow the lit erary course of studies of our educa- tionalcode , we need not be surprised that they have lost the taste for man ual worl. . ! > n' r- ' r t- > starve on a threadbc.ro i t a ct , .i , iljrks or book keepers rather thau seek more re munerative labor. 1'ur miny trades the training of the hand to work may begin , and In some ought to begin - gin , at an earlier ago than that at which children leave the primary school. The taste for manual labor , for mechanical construction and deco ration , at an early age is almost uni versal. It requires years of misdirec ted education to uproot it entirely. And there is not wanting evidence to prove most distinctly that oven a very small amount of manual labor trainIng - Ing thirty or forty minutes each day interjected into the elementary school , serves to k ep alive the capac ity for active employment , and the manipulative skill of the fingers. The problem ofmojting the demand For skillful and accomplished workmen Is thus beset with a double difficulty : Thut while the old system of appren ticeship has well nigh crumbled , and is less and less able to afford a train ing worthy of the name to the child of the artisan , tbo character of the education now given him in the public schools not only does not make up for that which ' apprenticeship'cannot now give him , but positively predisposes him against the career of manual toil to whtch'either apprenticeship or in dustrial training is the necessary and only adequate introduction. Iowa Cereal Wealth. Bradstreet's revised returns of the wheat crop of 1880 show the follow ing figures : Bushels , Hunon 52,500,000 Iowa 4iGOO,000 Indiana 43,000,000 Minnesota , 42,020,000 Ohio 3"O.COO Michigan 33,375,000 Missouri 23,750,000 Kansas 19.75D.OOO Nebraska 9,130,000 Wisconsin 18,45'J.OOO Total in the western states. .324,675,000 Iowa ranks second in the list ol wheat states. Forty-five million bush els of wheat ! It is , wo think , a low estimate , to say that the crop will av erage , at home , 75 cents a bushel at present market prices. Burlington prices range from 80 to 85 cents for spring and 90 to 95 cents for winter. Tha Chicago price for No. 2 is § 111. The freight rate from Burlington to Chicago is 7 2 5 cents per bushel ; from Council Bluffs to Chicago , 18 cents'per bushel. From these figures our readers can make their own esti mates , and we think they will concur with us that ati average of seventy- five cents in the crib before shipment is a fair estimate of the present value of the wheat crop of Iowa at tnis time. time.The The yield this year , 45,600,000 bushels at seventy-five cents net to the farmers $34,200,000. But these figures do not cover all the value to our state of the wheat crop. That portion of the crop that is manufac tured into Sour and other products is greatly increased in value , and so much of the manufactured products as is shipped out of the state brings a richer return than the cereal itself , but that portion which is retained for licme consumption has a still greater value. The flour of Iowa man ufacture laves the Importation of a like amount of that impor- food staple. Tha bran , shorts , etc. , utilized for the dairy , is con verted into still more valuable pro ducts milk , butter and cheese. And thus , whether we consider the wheat crop of Iowa in its relations to the state export trade , or ita home econo mies , wo find it to be a source of Im mense wealth to our people. For a state that is already in the front rank in the production of'corn and _ Hog , this showing of wheat production is certainly rfimatkable and full * cf en couragement for.tha future of the state * Iowa lies in the creat transcontinental nental pathway. The two greatest rivers of the continent , and of the world , wash its east and weet bound aries. It has less waste land than any other state In the union. It is far enough south to raise good corn and far enough north to raise good wheat and is located just right to reach all the great markets by the cheapest lines of transportation , both by rail and water , and amid the strong est competition for freights. Under those circumstances a sttidy of the wheat crop of Iowa , in connection with all the great and varied crops yielded from the proh6c soil is a mat ter of pride and thanksgiving. lowons have much to bs thankful for , and , la tha language of Governor Gear , In his Thanksgiving proclamation. ' 'Let ' all join in giving hearty thanks for our abundant harvests and for en hanced prosperity in both nation and state. " A Kansas Man's Satisfaction. J. H.
