T.HU OMAHA DAILY BEE FRIDAY AUGUST 2o , 1881 , ACROSS THE PLAINS , t Ancient and Modern Traffic Across the Plains The " " Bullwhacker , The Ox-Traiu and Mule-Wag on Giving Way to the Engine and Pull man Car. Prospective Riches of the Valley of the Rio Grnntlo. Correspondence ol the N'cw York Tribune , Twenty.two years ago , my own first glimpse of Knnsai City showed mo a steamboat landing , with three or four wnrcliouscH , n tavern , nnd n deep cut through a yellow hill to yet nway from tho. place by. . On Uio bluU'ixbov.o there wore several "groceries ; " the merchantable "stock thorcin consisting of sundry barrels of what waa then known us "jug water1 nnd some linetc tious piles of thick bacon. Some of those , to say truth , nro there yet ; the saino , or worse. ' ' This was all by and for what was called the tinntn Fo' trade. It was oven before California came forward prominently , or the sublime senti- inetitof "Piko's Peak hr Ihtsl" liad been enunciated. All Kansas was al * most as uninhabited as Llatib , Estam cado'is no\v , nnd the buffaloes' came and drank out of the Missouri. From among the cottonwoods that fringed the mouth of the Kaw arose innumerable columns ot thin blue smoke. llcsidp the yellow roads nnd dotting the lulls wore the lozenge-shaped villages formed by wagons drawn into hollow squares. All day the sharp dotona01 tions of the bull-whips foil upon the car , as constant as picket-tiring , Gaunt , high-shouldered , long-honied bullocks wandered everywhere , somein times worn out and stupid , often sulal len and combative. The usual' ono long street of the village which formed the depot of a great tr.ido was lined and crowded .with gigantic wagons nnd long.teamsiroinend to end. .t'liore were ? few women in these days , and the male passenger was obliged to pick his devious way among horns , noses , yokes , hubs nnd biy chains , No such wagons as those ere ever used before , or will bo made ngafn. Jt was nine or ten feet from the lloor of the box to the top of the canvas. About sixty hundred weight \\oio considered n fair load for a team of twelve oxen , for a journey of 1500 miles over plains , sands , stones , ra vines , rivers everything. THE I'ASr nEKKKATIOX. Humanity took strange forms in those . Tlio "bull-whacker " days. - , ns everybody called him nnd ho called himself , was n > it like the minor , ranchman or frontiersman of these times. Ho was himself a bull- wluickcr. Ho could bring out the capacities of string of oxen as no other man who over lived could. Ho acquired skill , like unto that of a Japanese juggler in the use of the monstrous whip that trailed behind him in the grass some fourteen feet , and could bo heard sinking through the air and going off in a series of sharp explosions in the fraction of a second thereafter. There was to him no joy in life lying under a wagon with his chin upon his crossed arms. He was the original great unwashed , as a matter of fact nnd habit , and to know him was to understand how greatly ordinary life is burdened by useless ceremonies and super fluities. Tlio plains between the Missouri and the New Mexican mountnins - a very loiifjrcach of country were very much livelier then than they nro to-day. What has relapsed into primeval desolation now , twinkled with camp-fires twenty years ago , and there wcio echoes of barbaric song and merriment whore now per haps domestic cattle range , but where for yeais no man has slept or sung. There woie "nrllions in it , " too. A loaded train represented ono or two thousand dollars. There was a great deal of it also. An attenuated string of white specks that in the intense sunshine trailed itself over hill and dale along the verge of the horizon was seldom out of sight. One would scarce think it could occur to these creeping caravans to run races with each other , but they sometimes gro tesquely did so , and staked considera ble sums of money upon the result. Like sailors , these freighters were reticent people , and Now Mexico , the queerest country that was ever under the American flag , remained a terra Incognita , The old ones in those Missouri towns never found out any thing nbout it. It was , until eight or ten years ago , as far oft'as China. The bull-whacking voyager seems seldom to have deserted and stayed there , and only rarely could a "greaser" bo found stranded among the Missouri cottonwoods. Traflio and intercourse came nnd went thus from time imme morial to nbout 1802. Then two or three impecunious individiuls in n Kansas village , and one especially 1 dreamed the idea of a ruihoad upon the Santa Fo trail. It was an idea that ought then to h vo sent the author of it to u lunatic asylum , if there had been any , and ought now to perpetu to him in bronze. i I know him. Ho had a pleasant and insinuating manner , and as far back ns 1800 the awful year that none of the few who were hero then will ever forgot-ho used sometimes to speak of the schemes he had , As ho blandly expatiated , no body believed in it , and ns I pass him in tlio street now I say to myself , "I wonder if he believed in it ? " Yet I know he hammered the idea until it finally took shape. It is an immense aft'air , very little like a dream now the furthest-reaching line of ties and rails so far over laid by a single cor poration. For the first time -ve have got our hands upon the real treasures of the empire of the Incas , the vast region of mountains and loneliness , of coal , gold , copper and silver , of trop ical luxuriance and Arctic barrenness , whoso Spanish inhabitants lived very much as they are living now before this republic was.born. THE THAII , COSQUEhKI ) J1V TUB TJIACK. I have been carried by that inter esting animal , an army mule , from the Missouri to Santa Fo , and some hundreds of miles bpycnd , myself. It will never occur again , but when 1 yo now , the remarkable thing about it is the contrast it presents to the old times. And those ancient days have not gene entirely nnregreted. Not long since 1 occupied a seat beside the driver upon one of those hibcous canvas covered machines , called by the propriotois of it a "coach. " As wo Bolted over Now-Miixican stones , which have a peculiar quality of jug- gedncss , nnd cicpt in nnd out among the mountain spurs , lie detailed to me his opinions nnd wrongs. "I'm ageing to Australia , " said ho , "where 1 understand they still have singe-lines. I used to dnvu on the plains , and them railroads come nnd dnv [ { , mo out o' tlm * , . An' then 1 comes hero , thinkin' they never could RiA us out'n these ctarnal mountains. And now comes this last , this 'ere To- pcco , and Santy Fee doin's , a follcrin' u1 up , nn' in Icjs'n n year they won't bo n atanonmnin' in this ken try. I'm n > goin' . This moon-faced old fogy said ho had never ridden on the rail , never intended to , that they wcro the , curse of the country , ti hindrance to ' t'rnllic , and enemies to honest indus try. If ono.of the ox freight proprie tors of the old times could bo encoun tered , I wonder what ho would say about the AtchisonTopi'kn nnd Santa Fo railroad , upoii which the last named is only a midway atotion. Vet it is more a voyage than n journey. The Pullman car becomes n residence for several days. There a hundred fellow-voyagers who carry with them their lunch baskets nnd their peculiarities wherever they may m . There are small matters of slum ber and food to bo looked after , nnd profound calculations as to how many times ono iiay ) reach downward into ono's pocket , and at the current rate of disbursements iind anything there to reach after. There is a long , long stretch of 'treeless prairio. It is a long , warm , tiresomei journey to Santa Fe , oven yet ; but it is nn interesting ono. Many of these passengers do not intend to return , and have1 aban doned all that lies behind thorn. They are a good natured company , illustrat ing all tlio attitudes of sleepiness , and all the expedients for killing timO. They are tired , but I muse upon the , time when it required of mo two months to make the same journey over neaily the same track. The wilderness , all that vast and treeless valley of the Arkan sas , is unrolled like a panoramic ramic picture. Tli3 scenes of thirsty marches and silent vigils jrlido by un noticed , and yet , except immediately beside < the track , the country teems unchanged , and the peculiar land scape is as it has been since dry land appeared. The prairie dog , being no more like a dog than n musk rat is , still sits upon his lonesome yellow mound among his few companions , and squeaks at the train with all his old-timo peevishness. Tlio coyote is still theie , red of tongue and leery of oyc , stoically regarding the rushing messenger that has cut tlio field of bis sly exploits in twaiiij and prophecies his speedy extermination. Iut } there nro town and fnrms , and there is nothing that would astonish the old Santa Fo trader as theso. They and their p'coplo nro of the western pat tern , neat , new , founded upon adobe , but likely to stay. Even that whifth used to be the first glimpse of Mexi can life , u miserable adobe hamlet in the Arkansas sands called Pueblo , is now , with all its torrid heats and fly ing sands , completely changed and become u bustling , restless American town. It is clear that the demoli tion and reconstruction have begun. This furthest northern settlement of the Spaniard indicates the speedy fate of most of his old dominion. When at last the City of the Holy Faith is reached , ono sees it again with a sur prise not unmingled with regret. It was old , even ten years ago the most ancient and sleepy burgh in America , quaint and primitive in all its ways , redolent with tradition nnd gray with its centuries of chnntrelossness and peace. And now adios ! "Thoy are building red brick stores on theplazi , and noisily clustoiing upon the steps of new hotels , and looking sharp and talking fast. They will live more in Santo Fo in ono day now than they have over befoip in one eood year with all its siestas. 'Some of the silent and swarthy ones look as though ancient society is aghast , a id the padre cure with all his startled flock behind him , holds up supplicating hands THE IMMUTABLE "OUEASEU. " But it is an interesting old town for a day. It is so far inland , and in closed in mountains so bare and brown , and over it hangs a sky so blue and fair forever. It has been for ages a capital without ever being proud of it , and almost without knowing it , and has kept the oven tenor of its sleepy life so very long. I once knew very "well the Now Mexican's mode of thought and what his general notions of Gringo imprudence wore. But that was upon ordinary themes , and topics to which ho was accustomed. The railroad is considerably beyond any of his miracles. I do not know what he thinks of it. His answer to tlio question is very non-committal , being a slight elevation of the slioul- * dors and outward turning of the palms. It menus that ho gives it up. But ho will not change gioatly. Mo * is i ono who lias an immense nuin- bur of relatives , nil of conservative family tendencies , who aio gathered in sheltered nooks over the rugged region , where railroads shall never itcnetnito. From them his moral fibre will receive Biippoit. For this moun taineer , whom it pleases us to desig nate u "greaser , " is still principally a Spania d , and ono who has steadily declined to change his religion , his language or his social customs for nigh three centuries. Ho will never adopt the railroad , and it will not benefit him. Ho does not wieh to bo improved , The confidence , fellow ship and mutual understanding exist ing time immemorial between the donkey and him will not bo so easily severed. A KUTUJU : KMl'JHK. Nevertheless , that long and mus- quito haunted valley of the Hio Orando which is almost a continuous adobe village from end to end , is al ready ruined. They have spoiled his acequias , and cut his little fields in twain , nnd awakened the sedgy si i- lences with unearthly noises. There will hereafter be more wealth there , and less peace. It is a rich valley , because it is almost entirely irrigated ; and has nlways laughed uproariously , even for the inadequate tickling of an Egypto-Moxican plough. Ihit now tlicro will bo heard there the clatter of patent farming machinery There will be , on yellow aulun7n days , stcnm threshers vomiting dust and straw where once was the circle of poles and rawhide , nnd that mad d\nco ol exasperated donkeys upon the gathered sheaves , The Pueblo , the best of all who bear the iir.mu of Indian * will , after his contest of n thousand yenisilh the Comanche , find himself vanquished by nn enemy ho cannot fight nnd docs not under stand. It was a bad day for nil these when my friend began to think about his railroad upon the Santo Fo trail. But , returning theneo , it is impossi ble to avoid a curious reflection , The plains-Kansas now-wcro once tlio difliculty and danger. It wns like tlio sen Hint must bo ciosscd. U has come to be the hone of daily bread for all who shall people this vast coiner of nn empire. The only agricultural hope of a vast region is the valley of thoKio Grande. Those who como hither are not ploughmen , but such ns hope for profit in the feve-iish life of n mining country. They nro traders , miners , frcightcis , and of that atill larger class who nro Anything , nnd lopk for chances. All these must bo fed , nnd more nnd more largely ns time passes , and the wheat nnd pofnlo fields that lie beside the long nnd lonfc- some trail of the old times will fur nish broad. When 1 ngain meet with a gray nnd wrinkled veteran of tlio Santa1Fo trail , I will invite him to elmio with mo in lenowed wonder at the proverbial shortncs of human foresight , and nt the miracle that has made his camping place a cornfield and ancinnt , mountain-walled Santn Fo u railroad town. Winter Dairying- Shall wo state again , in ns few- words ns possible , what seems to us to bo the advantage of winter dairy ing over our common way of summer dairy work ? In the first place , more butter can bo made in tlib year. Why ? The cows will bo in better condition as to flesh nt the time they drop their calf. Dropping her calf in 'November or the first of December , the calf can bo fed better , as well as tlio cow , because the person has more time to attend them. The cow , if fed grain , no man can afford to milk a good cow without feeding her will give richer milk than on grass , and if not quito iu much it will make as much more butter through the winter months than in the summer when she drops her calf in April. Being fed yrain the cow comes on to grass strong , and through the urass season she will give nearly as much milk ns when she comes in in the spring. When dried up in Scptombor.or October she will get fat by the time she comes in again and so the year around she is in much better condition than when she comes in in the spring. Wo nil know how- sickly nnd poor our cows are in this country in fho spring , and it tnkes nearly all summer to get them up in condition to give much , milk. The point we make , that the farmers have the time in the winter to attend to the care nnd feeding of cows nnd calves , is a good one. In years past the problem , how shall the farmer on n prairie farm , where ho raises grain mostly , put in his time in the winter , wns to us n serious ono. Stock raising and dairying , especially - ly winter dairying , solves that prob lem. Then again , as to calves. There is no question that calves raised by hand , if dropped late in the fall , will make at ono year old , or can bo made to make a better yearling than ono dropped in April or May. The rea son is this : By spring the young thing will bo able to run right out with the herd und hnvo the now and tender grass , whereas , in the old way , as most of farmers practice , they are weaned from milk and feed just about the time the flics nro the worst and grass the' toughest and poorest. Wo all have had our eyes pained at the sight of the poor , half-starved and fly-oaten things in August and September. If wo adopt winter dairying wo shall get into the habit of feuding more grain to both cow and calf , nnd that would bo n tireat gain. Ono very important point more and wo leave the subject for this time. By this method of winter dairying wo have our calves weaned and off on grass by time our pigs want the skimmed milk. All farmers can see at once that this is not n mean advantage. These nro some of the advantages of winter work in the dairy. L. S. Coffin. HO ! FOR COOL MINNESOTA- The IiBit Excursion to the Great .Summer Rosorta-S13-25 for Another excursion , the last of the season to this famous summer resorts of cool Minnesota , lias been arranged to leave Council Bluffs on September 5th , at 7:45 : p. m. , by the great Sioux City route , The rate will bo the lowest - est ever given over this line , the round trip being only 812.00. Just think of it. It is cheaper to travel than to stay at homo. The tickets are good for thirty days. This will give an excellent opportunity for everybody to visit the greatest fair in the northwest , at Minneapolis , which lasts all week , commencing Septem ber otli. The races at this fair will tanco to see. No such opportunity for guiiuinu enjoyment will bo offered again this season , and all who take advantage of the exceedingly low r.ilcH will be surti to get their money's worth fourfold.
