OUR SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
Omaha will bo the pioneer city ol
the west to adopt the Waring system
of sowcrngo. This system is the in
vention of Mr. George E. Waring , of
Newport , Ithodo Island , the most ac
complished sanitary engineer in the
country , whoso life has boon directed
to n study of drainage as affecting
health , and whoso researches in this
line have given him n world-wide rep
utation. The Waring system differs
from all other systems of sowcrngo in
the provision whicli it makes for pre
venting the decomposition nnd fer
mentation of the sowngo while in
transit through the pipes. It is well
known that ono of the most prolific
sources of discaso is "sower gas.1
Sewer gas results from the retention
) f decayed matter in the pipes , nnd
its further decomposition , When such
decny takes place the pipes , intended
o carry oif injurious substances , become -
como themselves the very channels
hrough which disease is transmitted
nto ovcry residence and business
house witli which they are connected.
It will readily bo seen that largo pipes
afford greater opportunity for the
accumulation of sewage than
small ones. Taking this fact
as the basis for his plan , Mr. Waring
invented n'systom which includes the
use of small tile pipes constantly
flooded by water , which washes to the
outlet of the system , aa often as may
> o doomed advisable , every trace of
decomposed matter hurtful to health.
Jndor Mr. Waring'a system the accu
mulation of sowur gas is impossible.
The pipes are kept sweet and clean ,
and bath rooms and closets relieved
rom the odor which invariably attends
mporfoct construction in the old sys-
; em.
Memphis has tried the Waring sys-
em , nnd there ns elsewhere it has
> roved a complete success. The Kan-
as City Journal has boon interview-
ng n resident of that city on the sub-
oct and , the result will prove of in-
crest to our citizens who are so soon
o test the Waring system themselves.
'Memphis , " said ho , "is now consul-
rod by engineers to bo ono of the
nest soworod cities in this country ,
'ho system is novel hero , but its BUG-
ess will cause-it to bo adopted whor-
vor it can bo successfully employed ,
'ho system is a cunningly devised net
work ef six inch tile pipes , underlying
lie entire city at no great depth and
ommunicatmg directly with the water
works. 'This allows of the pipes being
ushed twice a week , and this fs done
> y the waterworks , in accordance
with a contract with the municipal
ovornmont. It ia wonderful how
tear and awoet the pipes are kept ,
nd how excellently the city is
rained. Just at present the water
works.are slightly out of order , but
ot sufficiently so to interfere
oriously with the process oi
ushing the pipes. "Tho system
s called the 'Waring sewerage
f Ilhoda Island. It was introduced
bout eighteen months ago. You will
emombor that in the summer of 79
10 yellow fever depopulated the city.
Veil , in the spring of ' 80 they began
ayintjUlurty throe miles of sewers I
invo described. Previous to that data
vo had no sewerage worth mention-
ng. Since the Waring system has
) eon introduced the city has been free
rom malarious disease , and the death
rate lower than at any time previous
n its history. "
THE CATTLE TRADE.
Notwithstanding the unusually hard
winter and the heavy losses of stock ,
ho cattle interests will close the pres
ent season in an unusually prosperous
condition. The summer has been
an excellent ono for the herds. The
toavy snows aided in fostering a luxu
riant growth of grass on the ranges , and
stock have fattened rapidly. During
.ho Whole summer prices have been
unusually high , and profits , corres
pondingly increased' over last year's ,
so that it is doubtful whether , with all
the losses of lost winter , the ranches
mvo not been nearly , if not quite , aa
remunerative as during last season.
The shipments of cattle over the Union
Pacific have boon enormous , fre
quently averaging 4QOO head a day.
The growth of this trnfllo ,1ms , boon
steady , nnd indicates the increase in
the cattle trade. In 1870 the Union
Pacific shipped east 48,000 head ol
cattlo. Last year it shipped 148,400 ,
and by the close of the present year
the fiVurcs will run ns high as 200,000.
In western Nebraska and Wyoming
the herds have increased rapidly dur
ing the past summer , and as the cost o ;
herding is trifling , the profits at
the present prices have boon
very largo. A number of ranches
have boon disposed of at enormous
figures to speculative capitalists who
have boon attracted to the business b ;
the report of the enormous profits
Many Englishmen of moans have in
vested their money in the busmen
and will operate extensively in cattle
next year , 'in Colorado this year has
boon the best and most profitable ii
the history of the atato , nnd the cat
tie men are very naturally jubilant
There have been moro beeves raisoi
this year than ever before , and the
prices have boon about $8 higher
The cattle have boon much botte
than usual , n great many having
boon brought over from las
year on account of last year's drouth
It is aafo to say that at loist 1UD ,
000 beeves have been raised. Of
this number probably 100,000 have
been shipped , nnd the remaining 35-
XX ) consumed within the state. These
1115,000 cattle can bo safely estimated
to bo worth not less than $4,000,000 ,
which is $1,500,000 more than any
other single year's production in the
liistory of the country. The improved
facilities for transportation have
made the business moro profitable ,
and the outlook for the future has
never been so good ns now. The cattle
tlo nro also going into Iho winter in
better shape than for n number of falls
ticrotofore , nnd the condition of things
is very satisfactory.
In Western Kansas last winter was
also n very severe ono on herds , nnd
the loss was very heavy , but the high
prices of this season have moro than
made up the losses , and nil the cattle
men in those regions nrc reported as
doing woll.
In Texas the oason of 1881 has
) ecn ono of the most prosperous for
cattle dealers that has over been known
n the history of that state. There
are immense ranches beyond San An-
onio , nnd the Express of that city de
clares "There has boon no 'bad ' luck ; '
cattle have all done well , and prices
nro nowjiighor than ever k'nown bo-
bro. Offerings nro being made for
the spring drive of 810 for yearlings , '
J12 60 for 3-year olds , and $15 00 ®
10 00 for threes and beeves. Last
spring the prices ranged ns follows :
Yearlings , $7 008 50 ; 2-year olds ,
J)00@1000 ! ; throes and hooves ,
J12 00013 00. Female cattle are
scarcely to bo purchased at any price ,
though few years ago young male
cattle were much moro valuable than
icifers.
Of course , the scarcity ot the cattle
make the high prices , but while some
people affect to mourn over the loss or
depletion of the immense herds that
used to graze in Western Texas , it
will bo soon that there is now moro
nonoy in the cattle business than
there was in the former time. Owing
p.tho high prices that can now be ob-
jainou for the aamo class of cattle , a
imall 'bunch' of cattle is worth moro
Han A largo ono was a fnw years ago.
Von years' ago yearlings were worth
rom $3 to $5 per head , two-year olds
$6 $ to 87 , throo-yoar olds $7 to $8 , and
jooves $8 to $10 , or only as much as
n yearling nt this time. At theclose of
ho war stock cattle sold at § 1.50 to $2
> or hfad. It is reported that at ono time
a cow's hide was worth the cost of
kinning the cow moro than the ani
mal was worth when ulivo. With the
) asturo system the cost of raising cat-
lo has boon considerably reduced
rom that of a few years ago , and with
ho good prices received for cattle
hose poHsossihg the capital to conduct
ho business properly must make very
argo profits. The whole business has
undergone a great change in the psxt
ow years ; and with better results for
all concerned , unless it bo for the
lass whoso entire capital was invested
n a cross brander and a ropo. The
nisinoss has boon systematized and
ivilizod , thcro is better protection ,
and those1 engaged in the business are ,
as a consequence , moro prosperous. "
0. P. HUNTINGDON has issued n cir-
ular which makes it clear that the
Southern Pacific road has decided to
nako its eastern terminus at Now
Orleans. With this view the Texas &
'few ' Orleans and the Sunset line have
> eon purchased by the Huntingdon
> arty , making u continuous road from
iovf Orleans to San Antonio , 572 in
ongth. From San Antonio to to El
? iiso , the present eastern terminus of
ho Southern Pacific , the distance is
GOO miles , one-third of which is nl-
ready graded , and the intervening
country admits of very rapid work.
The company therefore expect to have
the entire line , 2,000 miles in
ungth , between Sun Francisco and
Now Orleans completed some time
next summer. The Southern Pacific
route , after leaving El Paso , will ex
tend southeasterly down the valley of
the Bio Grande , until it approaches
the Now Orleans parallel , when its
course becomes nearly due cast. The
Texas Pacific route , on the other
liand , takes n northeasterly course
after crossing the river Pccos , going
cast , so that the rival roads for the
reater portion of their route through
Texas are widely separated , The ex
tension of the Huntingdon line to
Now Orleans has an increased importance
ancein connection withthofact that the
Chesapeake nnd Ohio system , under
the same cuntroling ownorsHp , will
soon ' bo completed from Newport
News , at the mouth of the James
river , to Memphis , Tonn. From this
point the only link wanting to make a
continuous line from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast will bo n north and
Bouth line through the sUite of Missis
sippi.
TUB anti-monopoly mooting in the
hall of Cooper Union , in Now York ,
on Wednesday evening , shows how
rapidly the best elements of every
trade and profession are uniting to
secure the enactment of laws to com
pel railroad and transportation com
panies to base their charges upon
"tho cost mid risk of service , " The
venerable Peter Cooper endorsed the
principle * * of the league , which , when
carried to their logical conclusion ,
would do moro to insure the hnppinosi
and prosperity of the masses than luu
over been accomplished before. The
principles enunciated by the meeting
will meet the hearty approval nnd re
ceive the cordial support of the people
of the west. They declare that the
public welfare and public safety de
mand the enactment of relief laws ,
compelling transportation companies
to base their charges upon "actual
cost and risk of service , " with n fair
profit added , instead of the monstrous
theory of "what the traffic will bear. "
The law must prohibit "Credit
Mobillor" devices and construction
companies , by moans of which the
actual cost of public works is enorm
ously increased nnd stock issued to
meet the fictitious values. Unjust
discrimination against .persons and
localities must bo prohibited by
stringent laws , both state nnd national ,
and the appointment of commissioners
in every state and by the federal gov
ernment with adequate powers to sao
that the laws are enforced.
