No section of our country hns felt n larger degree llio influence of the prosperous times of the last three years than the stntcs nnd territories between the Missouri river nnd the Pacific coast. Colorado and Wyonl ing , Utah and Montana , Idaho nnd Oregon , Washington territory nnd , in a lesser degree , California nro all in creasing their wealth nnd adding to their population by the uto.ady influx of settlers and the ccnmlly. steady nd- vnnco of rnilronds , which will open up now regions to agriculture nnd min ing. ing.Tn Tn Colorado the decline of the Lcadvillo fever hns operated to some extent in lessening the numbers of prospectors and diminishing the ore product from the region ndjncent to Lake county. Developments farther south , however ) make it certain that the bullion output for the present year will bo nearly if not quito equal to that of last , aggregating nearly 830,000,000. Throughout the stnto ; ho rapid progress of that rail roads is assisting greatly in the further development of the mining industry. The Denver and [ Uo Grande road is pushing its way southward nnd westward beyond the rich Qunnison nnd San Juan regions , and stretching towards Utah is seek- ng an independent outlet to the Pa cific ocean. Northward , the Denver , Salt Lake & Pacific company is ontorj- ng the mountain canyons of the North Pnrk , tapping a region which is rich in mining possibilities nnd which once passed , leaves nn open track tp the City of the Saints. Below Don ; 'or , Pueblo is assorting her claims for recognition , as a great commercial metropolis nnd is building up .heavy ndnlifncturing jnduslrioj1 whichin1 , - sure permanence and stability to/ the * cities. Denver , itself , ntriving tp naintain its , reputation for princely iboralitytarid ) 'western enterprise , is milding magnificonty with a vioir to the future.if " Montana , ono of tho' oldest and nest substantial of the territories , in coming rnpidfy to the front ns a bul- ion producer. The growth of Butte City within the last twelve months ias boon n marvel only exceeded by ho rapid rise of Leadvillo. Three iiies of railroads are striving for , ho mastery of a country whoso ngri cultural anil grazing wealth is only sgunlod by the rich gold and silver cduca. Immigration is pouring into the .orntory and peopling its fertile val- oys. Its vast cattle interests are con stuntly increasing in value , while nt no distant day promises to become the , 'roatcst wool producing section of the United States. Possessing on itdbor dors the most magnificent pleasure grounds in the world , with a climatb which is admirablyindaptod to success' 'ill agriculture , no qtato or territory excels Montana in natural advantages or contains surer foundations for per manent , wealth and future develop Within the past two yean the atten tibn of motalurgists has boon strongly directed to the mineral wealth of Idaho. The western and northern part of the territory has long boon noted for its rich ranches and fine ag ricultural lands , nnd the country around Lewiston and bordering on eastorjit Oregon has for some time received a good share of far western immigration. Interest at present centers in the rich quartz discoveries in eastern Idaho and the dovolopmontsalon ; the Sal mon and Wood rivera , and capital is rapidly coming to the aid of local prospectors to assist in the develop ment of a number of claims which promise to pay handsomely for work inc. The extension of the Utah and Northern railroad through the terri tory has aided very much in bringing to notice the resources of the country , and the near future is certain to briuj it into still greater prominence re gions accessible to enterprise and in dustry. In Washington territory nnd Oregon gen heavy harvests nnd a largo amount of railroad building have also brought prosperous times nnd nt- traded jconsiderablo immigration. Both have suffered to aomo extent the commercial depression which has affected the entire coast , but this is gradually wearing away to give place to n sounder nnd inoro cheerful state of nffairs. A largo surplus of grain loft over from last year's harvest is available for export , nnd low rates of ocean freight will make the winter's storage moro profitable than of a ready sale had boon effected last fall , In Wyoming , the losses of a severe winter have boon made up by the iiir creased price of cattle , and the ranges never looked in bettor condition. The agricultural resources of the northern part of the territory nro coming into greater prominence , and a number of mineral discoveries afford reasonable grounds for the belief that future bo nanzas may yet bo uncovered. In all thin encouraging outlook Omaha takes a deep interest for her , own commercial importance is largely dependent on thousands of customers scattered in every atato and territory JotWoen this point nnd the Pacific const. In Wyoming nnd Montana , Jt h nnd Idaho , Dakota and North- on o ornvolorado ( Omuhu's goods are uold nnd handled nnd the good fortune nnd bright prospects of the far west is in no small degree her good fortune nn'd ' brilliant futuro. ON behalf of the citizens of Omaha Tin : BEK tenders a hearty welcome o the thousands of visitors who nro in attendance nt the state fair. Omi- ha may not nppear to advantage just now with great piles of building ma tcrial blocking her principal thorough fares , but she points with honestprido to the very substantial improvement which she nmdo on every street since last fall and to a hundred now enter prises now under way. Her great oporn house is unfortunately not com plated but it is far enough advanced to afford n good idea ot what it will bo when the masons , carpenters nnd upholsterers have loft it. Two largo elegant hotels are rising rapid ly in the heart of the city and ground lias been purchased far n third which is to equal if not to surpass cither ol of UICBO now buildings. In the bus iness section of our city A score ol liandsomo brick and atotio fronts at test the growing importance of our commercial interests , while every street in the residence part of the city evidences our rapidly increasing pop ulation. Such a steady advance indicates the growth of the state , for which Omaha s the commercial center , and on this account every citizen of Nebraska has a personal interest in the matter. Tin : demand of tha railroads for congressional regulation by which , heir contracts with ono another can 30 enforced is likely to bo loud and ircssing if ( ho present war ? of rates continues to prevail much longer. Since early summer the west bound passenger traffic has been out tb igurcs which scarcely pay the actual expenses of running trains. The last move is , a cut into cast bound rates by which passengers ore carried from Chicago to Boston , via Now York , for SO. Under this cut the Pennsylva nia road , which pays $5.75 for send ing its passengers to Boston from Now York , gets only twenty-five cents for carrying n passenger from Chicago cage to Now York. The entire quar rel is nn expensive ono to the roads for which the public must pay dearly in the end by an equally arbitrary raising of the tariff. It looks very much as if congress will be called up on in the interest of both the rail roads and the people to put n stop to such cutthroat warofnro. ACCORDING to the Lincoln Mr. Qaloy stated boldly , without fear "of successful contradiction , that there was moro interest taken in Omaha to defeat the building of the Fremont & Lincoln road than there was In Lin coin to secure its construction. " Mr. Galey otatcd boldly what ho wol knpvr to ibo a downright falsehood. Ho has simply taken advantage of the known fears and jealousy of the people ple of Lincoln toward. . Omaha ant hopes by such imposition to frighten them into voting § 50,000 in bonds into the pockets of the syndicate , for which ho was tho'spokesman. . The people of Omaha have not manifested the least concern aboui this Fremont & Lincoln railway pro ject. Not a single businessman o Omaha has over directly or indirectly sought to lay a straw , in their way , noif has the Omaha press made a concerted cortod onslaught on thia job. For years thia paper has opposot the subsidizing of railroads by bone donations and in this instance withoui suggestions or pressure from any quar ter wo have expressed the opinion that the pcoplo of Lancaster , Saunders dors and Dodge counties would bo yory foolish in voting mortgages upon their homos for the benefit of a railway - way that was bpund to be built wheth er they voted n dollar to it or not , In opposing Mr. G'aloy'a aoliomo THE BEE haa noted puioly on its own im pulse , without the remotest reference to the business rivalry of Lincoln ant Omaha. But wo presume Mr. Galoy nnd the bulldozers of the proposci Fremont & Lincoln branch will con tinue to wave the rod rag of Omaha in the fnco of the Lincoln bull , and wo take it that they expect this is the only method by which the .taxpayers of the capital city can bo scared into voting another $50,000 mortgage on themselves. \ ONI : of the most graceful acttn of international courtesy wns the toijder of Francklyn cottage to the president by Mr. 0. O. Francklyn , an Engfish. man who owns nnd operates the Kibe- ron hotel. Mr. Francklyn in pd vnnco emphatically refused consider any proposition looking towards repayment payment for his courtesy , und when informed that several changes must no made in the interior , replied that the cottage and all its contents were Pros * ( Idont Garfiold'a for as long n time as ho might require. The Springfield Ittpubliean in commenting upon iha subject says ; Congress , when it comes . o deal with the many subjects for legislation and appropriation which the presidents illness haa placed on its \ \ calendar , should And aomo way of ox- iressing the national appreciation of ilr. Francklyn'a offer. A service of silver was given by the United States Staomplli , the Swiss representative the Geneva tribunal , after ho had declined any money payment , The precedent is worth following again , and neither skill nor treasure should be spared in making fit national ac knowledgement to Mr. Frnncklyn. Tun republicans of Ohio have opened the campaign with n brisk fire all along the line , Governor Foster and a score of nblo campaign speakers commenced stumping the state Mon day , with appointments covering every day from now till the llth of October. Senator John Sherman will deliver his first campaign speech to his homo constituents nt Mansfield next Saturday. THE REUNION. Banger Tells About the Week Ho Spent There , The Many Titled Men He Met at Lincoln , And Some of the Yarns Ho HUN to Toll of Thorn- Concipondenco ol The Boo. LINCOLN , September 10. For si days and nights your correspondent has shared all the harddships nnd .ill of the glories of Camp Abe Lincoln. Ho fought the winds to keep them from blowing his tent across Salt Creek , faced the blizzards of ice water fresh from Her Majesty's dominions in Manitoba , marched to the front with the seven hundred and fifty scarred veterans from Illinois , nnaworcd to the call for the Eleventh Cavalry , shook hands with eight com rades , not ono of whom ho had scon since the year 1804 ; hung out the banner of the seven pointed stars , met beneath itsjrays eight of Hancock's veteran corps , two of them brother corporals in his own company , shook hands' with nnd hugged grizzled old chaps , who were not quite as lovely as girls of sweet sixteen , but ho loved them fully as well , shouted the old army yell , to invited galloping horse men to "jump oft and grab a root/ ' ordered the drivers of braying mules to "apiko that battery , " with arrosnround necks , ho sang , "In 186i , " "Marching Through Georgia , " "John Brown"and "Tho UnionFor- over , " looked at every ribband on every hat , for these told the regi ment or regiments with which the wearer served , found thoae who had climbed the same hills on the same charges , camped on the same camp grounds , followed the lead of the same generals , comrades of the same brigade by scores. Of the same division or of the same army corps ho found too many to talk with in ono short week. Your correspondent listened to ns much martial music ns ho heard in any six months of nctual service ; listened to morj speaking , or to use soldiers' slang , "had heavier ra tions of wind pudding" thau during all the three years , four months and seven days tlmt ho were the army blue ; met more generals , colonels , majors nnd captains than ho didat the grand review at Washington after the war was over ; saw tor the first time men with starred , eagled or barred ahoulders meeting privates with perfect familiarity ; saw frater nity , equality and loyalty aa univer sally exhibited as any man could wish for ; witnessed a regiment of militia and a battery of artillery conduct a sham battle with all the pomp and glory of nctual warfare ; saw the camp life of armed soldiery almost the exact counterpart of the old time scones ; heard every military cell from reveille to taps , from sick ball to the long roll ; hoard the drummer boy of Shiloh play the tune that thrilled us nineteen years ago when "Crazy Sherman" led the long line across the tobacco field to the loft of Shiloh church. The "close-up ! close up ! " which the offi cers shouted when shells or bullets gapped the line 'was ' not' heard , but every face looked as serious na if the order , "Column forward , charge bay onets , double-quick , march ! " was ex pected before the time waa onded. Ho heard old veterans toll how the ranks of bravo boya molted away , how they died sending loving messages to dear ones at homo , or shouting some war cry that condensed into ono sentence - tonco all the patriotism that loads men to give up life as if it Were an idle toy. WomMi aobbcd aloud , tears ran down the cheeks of gray veterans and no dry eyes could bo found. Your cor respondent saw the survivors of the rebel prison pen , saw the corn cob nnd nil which wns their only food , and hoard tales of suffering that would chill the heart of Jeff Davis himself , if Dr. Miller's statesman had n heart. When morning came it was ushered in by the roar of cannon and the roll of drums. Brass buttons and mili tary emblems were on the clothes of nearly all the men , the bugle call summoned to pork nnd beans , antlers were busy nnd darkoya earning nickels by patting juba and singing. "Wo atnid five days in Georgia , nha , aha , wo atnid five days in Georgm , nil jino the union , nhn , aha , fight for Uncle , Sam. Then harness up yor mules ( bo careful how you drive 'em. " When the boom , boom of the can non announced the opening of tha sham battle your correspondent felt , in the language of his colonel , "Bob" Ingersoll , "Every mun of the Eleventh ia mounted to-day , " and it was hard to stnnd back and see others do the loading nnd firing , but the old lag wns berne bravely forward , the enemy was outflanked , their lott driv- m in , ft column waa alowly ntealing Ihrough the cornfield unseen , with at. lie evident design of turning their ight and when , with ono grand charge , the battery woa taken , it \\oa all a reality. COMI'LIMEKTH. I A. Million , editor of the of ficial daily "The Reveille , " is a man wllo can do hard work under disadt vajttagoous circumstances and keep iterfeldian politeness always on Ho is n genius , us a philosopher a and a poet , may ho yet find the pea- plo who have sense enough to appreciate ciato him. General Chas. F , Mnndcrson hns demonstrated to the people of Nebraska - braska on many previous occasions that ho is one of the low attempts of nature at producing the perfect man and it is conceded by every ono of the 5,000 veternns camped under his command that his management \\ns nbovo criticism. The errors committed were beyond the power of any com mnnder to remedy. Paul Vandorvnort worked unceas ingly for the success of the reunion nnd that it , was n grand success no ono pretends to deny. Captain Wood nnd Commander Fitch , of Omnhn , were conspicuous for their laudable efforts. Col , Sessions , of Lincoln , was the moat enthusiastic man in the camp. Col. Crnbb , the commander of Iowa's veterans , was the happiest man. Gen. Dillworlh right nobly led the host from Illinois. Capt. Miles Warren came from Lcadvillo to nttond the ro- union. Brig. Gen. Ekin , A. 0. , U. S. A , , is a fine specimen of the old- time officer. Bob McCook , post No. 21 , G. A. . , of Ashland , Nob. , proved that they were the best drilled nnd they won the § 50 prize. J. Clark is the post commander. THE MILITIA , Company A. of York , Capt. Scott commanding , holds the post of honor , nnd the boya have earned it. They drill like veterans , and their flank movement at the sham battle was magnificently executed. They had forty-six men on duty. Capt. W. D. Young , a man who knows the duties of an officer , nnd n gentleman as if ho were nn old veteran , is the commander of compa ny B , of Sutton. This company also musters fortj'-six men. Col. Colby , the commandant , bore his honors well. Liout. Col. Keller is nn able assistant and nlso n veteran. Most of the the other ofiicors and the privates nro inexperienced and yet they are fair soldiers although n tritlo green with a crcat deal to learn. , Speaking of Nebraska's militia brings up the Nebraska veterans of the war. General Thaycr , every inch a soldier , made n grand speech in their behalf , and the ilugs these bravo boys carried to victory was accorded a reception that showed the honor in which they arc held. Perhaps some day our militia may have the Oppor tunity for winning as bright laurels as their predecessors under Gen. Thayer , but lot us hope not. The greatest wonder is the sobriety of the veterans. Let a convention of loading men bo hold and n largo percentage got intoxicated before going to bed , but hero were 6000 veterans and about ten thousand of their friends , and during six days stay in Camp Abe Lincoln , n. drunken man was not seen. A few militia men in the adjoining camp got full and n few veterans up town , but in Camp Abe Lincoln there was no drunkenness , no fighting , no stealing , no vulgarity , nothing but healthy enjoyment. About § 1500 were taken by the B. & M. for trip tickets between Lincoln find the camp. The 1st army corps , Hancock's veterans , formed an organization by electing J. M. Taylor , of Nebraska City , president , and yours truly , sec retary. C. H. Frederick , nn efficient staff-officer , n , perfect gentleman and well everybody knows General Fred- crick , of Omaha ; ho is first on the list ; then comes J. H. Bowkor , of York ; R. L. Roberts , of Ithaca , nnd J. B. Brooks , of York. A corps ban ner was decided upon and when the next reunion meets the veterans of the 1st A. 0. will once again follow the star with seven points. This corps is worthy of more than a passing notico. It was organized under n special act of congress , giving $300 extra bounty for veterans who had served two years , and recruiting officers were notified to enlist none but those who could obtain certifi cates of soldierly conduct from their captains. It was the seventh call for troops and this is the signification of the seven points of the star. It was the only considerable body of war veterans unmixed with raw lovics that over was organized in this country. The arms , uniforms and/ equipments were different from and bettor than any others in the service , and distin guished foreigners who saw the corps at Washington said it was the finest and most intelligent looking body of tropps in the world and all first A. 0 , men were unanimous in the belief the d. f. s. wore very right. Hundreds of men who had previously served as officers were in Hancock's corps as privates. Officers got no bounties , hence in a crack corps , with bis ; bounty and a chance for promo tion , they wore willing to commence again as privates. The Eleventh Illinois cavalry , Bob Ingersoll's old regiment , was repre sented by Gen , Otto Funko nnd Lieu tenant Shaw , both of Lincoln ; nnd 0. W. Wittstruck.Firth ; R. Aldriduo , Fairmont ; Henry , Sandritter , Blue Springs ; D. W. Orowso , Sownrd ; John O. Wngoner , Bennett ; Wm. Campbell , Peru ; R. M. Pierce , Nosta , Nob. , and J. H. Piorcu , of the OMAIIA BEE.
