Ono of the greatest obstacles in the
way of Omaha becoming a manufacturing
city is the high price of fuel. A coal
mine within a reasonable distance of
Omaha would provo an immense fortune
to the owners ani of incalculable benefit
to thia city. However , it sopma that the
fuel problem is likely to bo solved without -
out the discovery of a coal mine. Recent
experiments have shown that crude
pott-oleum can bo safely utiliV.od as fuel
at a much leas cost than coal. Dur *
ing the last four months experiments
have bcon in progress at the Chicago
Wostsidowaterworks , and they have
resulted in the perfection of a method by
which one-half of the boilers in those
works are heated with crude potroloum.
The oil is fed and forced into the furnace
by a jot Of superheated steam , and the
result is a strong steady ( lame , which is
entirely under control. The following ia a
comparative statement of the use of coal
and oil at the works'
Pouniliof coal to pump 1,000,000 gnllonn

The cost of tlio oil . S2.2r >
The oil in' figured at its present cost of
SL per bnrrol , and the coal at 3.7" > per
ton , the lowont price over paid. The
evaporation test shows nine pounds of
water evaporated by ono pound of coal ,
and seventeen to eighteen pounds of
water by ono pound of oil , Besides the
low coat there are other aihnntagos in
favor of oil. It keeps a atoady fire.
There is no handling of coal. The fur
nace doors are never opened nor tlio fire
checked by the rush of coal air upon the
coala. The oil is much better for the
boiler than coal , aa the steady lire of the
oil koopi the plates of an oven tempera *
turo , and contraction and expansion are
thus avoided. This system posacsnoM an
other advantage. The residuum loft after
refining crude oil , which is now almost a
waste product at the refineries , produces
oven bolter directs than the crude oil.
This tar can bo obtained at the rofinora1
for the moro coat of handling , which will
not be above 10 conta a barrel. Further ,
the immense development of petroleum
fields abroad is stopping its exportation
from this country , and will make this
kind of fuel abundant and cheap. In
largo establishments where there uro
many boilers in uio there will be a great
saving in labor. Under such conditions
ono man will do the work of ton firing
with coal.
If petroleum is all that is claimed for
it aa a fuel , it certainly will come into
universal usointho heating of boilers. If it
is n success in Chicago and other eastern
cities , where coal is very cheap , it will 1
certainly bo of much greater benefit to
Omaha factories and other establishments ,
as coal in Omaha is a very expensive arti
cle. Wo understand that two of our
largo manufrcturing institutions are al
ready making arrangements to substitute
petroleum for coal , and that others are
preparing to do the same thing. With
cheaper fuel Omaha wo believe will soon
become a great manufacturing city. In
Wyoming there are great oil lakes which
are owned principally by Omaha parties ,
who are endeavoring to put this oil upon
the market. The high rate of transpor
tation , however , will probably prevent
them from convoying it to market by cars ,
but if they would build a pipe-lino to
Omaha , and hero establish their refineries
and distributing depot , they would realize
a vast fortune. A pipe line can easily bo
laid from Wyoming down the Platte val
ley to Omaha , all that ia necessary being
the capital. The now use to which oil is
now to bo put will make an additional
demand and will probably encourage the
owners of the Wyoming oil lakes to rail
out the plan wo have suggested. If
Ifn
Omaha can become the center of western
oil distribution and through cheap fuel
can establish large manufacturing indus
tries , wo would , in leas than twenty
years , grow to bo a larger city than
Cleveland , which has boon built up main
ly sinca the development of the oil tia
dustry. Since the establishment of oil \
refineries thoroCIovoland has grown from
a city of 50,000 to 200,000.

The enterprise of killing cuttle in tlio
west and shipping the dressed moat in re
frigerator cixra to the eastern market is
already mooting with a datorminod oppo !
sition from those whoso business it allects.
The opposition comas from various pow
erful sources , principal among which are
the stock-yans men , who see in the immediate
.
mediate future a marked decrease in the
shipment of live cattle , and hence a fall
ing otf in their business. For yoara they
have levied heavy tolls on the cattle ship
pers of the west , and now that the cattlemen
mon are about to find relief from the bur
den of taxation thus imposed upon thom ,
the stock-yards ring ia doing everything
in its power to cripple and chock here
growth of the drossod-boof business.
For the tame reasons the railroads are
opposed to ttyo dressed beef ontorpruu.
it will necessarily greatly diminish the
freight receipts. Pool Commissioner Fink
only a few months ago raised the rates on
dressed beef moro than fifty per cent on
the ground that this increase was
necessary "to equalize tlio competition tin
the eastern markets between the shippers
of meat and the shippers of cattlo. "
What right has Commissioner Fink to interfere -
torforo batweon two classes of shipper * !
What buainesi is it of his that there io
competition between shippers ? Does ho
propose to strangle legitimate business
competition ? But Mr. ona
will not hold water , for there is really no
competition between the shippers of live
cattle and the nhippor * of dressed beef ,
. The fact is that
aa soon as facilities can
1 be furnished for the slaughtering of cat
, , tie in the west and southwest the ship
uti-jpingof live cattle to the oastoni stock
| yards will amount to almost nothing ; as
j compared to the present shipments
Wcalern caltlo mon are nearly all in
favor of the now method of shipment ,
The drosacd-bcof business has bcon domsat
onstratod lo bo a auccoss in every ro-
spcct. It saves to the owners of cattle
an immon < ) sum in railroad freight. It
relieves them of extortionate stock-yard
tolls. It dispenses with thu service of
quito a number of mon , and in several
other ways saves to thom a great deal of
money.
What is thus saved Is taken out of the
pockota of the railronda and the stock
yards , and hence the determined fight of
those monopolies against dressed boof.
And now como the eastern middlemen
and wholesale butchers to reinforce the
railroads and the stock-yards in their
fight. They , too , nee that their business
will bo seriously affected by the now en
terprise , and they have raised the cry
that chemicals are used in preparing
western dressed beef , but this story ha
boon shown to bo without foundation.
The Now York Herald says : "Tho now
industry to which wo ewe this food pro
duct is a dangerous competitor of eastern
stock yards and abatloirn , so it must bo
abused. The situation resembles that of
the English moat m.irkot , where dressed
beef and mutton from America and Aus
tralia can bo sold cheaper than the homegrown -
grown article. Nevertheless , the im
ported meat is slyly nold in London
stalls for the domestic article , and
the proof of the meat , like
that of the pudding , ia in the eating ,
the real test of comparative quality is
the palate of the consumer. While
purchasers in Now York cannot distin
guished between the taste of Chicago
dressed beef and the meat that comes
from local slaughter houses , the refriger
ator cars will bo kept busy. AB for the
story that chemicals are used m the
western process , those who toll it know
that those materials are used only to
lower the temperature of the cars , and
do not in any way como in contact with
the moat. Special local interests should
not bo allowed to deprive the generals
dinner table of whatever it can gain in
the direction of economy. The entire
community ia opposed to auch 'protec
tion. '
The now industry , however , will over
come all opposition. It is proving suc
cessful wherever established , and BO it
will bo in Omaha , where a slaughtering
house , of a capacity of 1,000 head per
day , will bo in operation early thia outn-
mor , in time to handle the season's cattle
shipments from the west Tho' dressed
beef enterprise in Omaha is backed by
many millions of dollars , and controls to
day the larger part of the cattle interests
of Nebraska and Wyoming. The ayndi-
cato will bo enabled , owing to its im-
monao capital and the largo number of
cattle under its control , to obtain decent
treatment at the hands of the railroad
companiea , who will soon bo
convinced that the cattle ownora
of the west are too powerful and deter
mined a class of mon to be trilled with ,
and that they will ship their cattle in
any shape they see fit. It is only a
question of a very short time when nine-
tenths of tba western cattle will bo
slaughtered and dressed near their graz
ing grounds , and shipped in refrigerator
cars. The railroad companies and the
stockyards ring will never bo able to stop
the development of this industry , and
they might as well accept the inevi
table.

much as if this were an effort on the part
of a political clique that boara no good

Third ItlohCHt Man In
( lie United States.
The third richest man in the union ,
according to the Now York Morning
Journal , ii John Jacob Astor , the chief
owner and hoi of the Aster estate. Un
like many millionaires , aays the Journal
writer , Aator lian both name and riches
a name linked with fabulous wealth of
throe succeeding generations. The esti
mated value of the Astor estate is from
§ 00,000,000 to 8100,000,000 , a veritable
mount tin of gold. John Jacob and Wil
liam B. are ita solrt owners , the former's
interest said to bo two-thirds.
For nearly a century the title of being
"tho landlord. ! of Xow York" haa at-
tached itaolf to thom. John Jacob's in-
torost in houses , lota , and farms may be
computed in the thousands.
Among the valuable buildings princi
pally owned by _ Sir. Astor as chief heir
to the estate is the old landmark , the
Astor house , which was sold to his father
by hh grandfather , the founder of the
imniunio estate , for § 1. Its present val
ue is said to bo $2.000,000 , being assess
ed at § 1,750,000. The Guaranty and In
demnity building chietly owned by Mr.
Aator , was purchased a short time- ago
for Sl,000,000 , while the Astor estate
pays taxes on $50,000,000 of real estate
situated below Chambers street , most of
which consists of business houses on
Broadway and 'Wall streets There is
scarcely a ward , street or avenue in the
city in which Mr. Aster does not own real
estate , on which the total amount of tax
es ia over $ 100,000 annually.
Another point of difference between
Mr. Astor and other millionaires is in
his investments. In Wall street his
name never appears as a speculator and
seldom as an investor or aolter of stocks ,
bonds or other similar securities. Hav
ing an income of 10 per cent on the
gross amount invested in real estate , ho
quietly buys moro houses or lands when
opportunity for good investment oilers.
In ati inventory made of his various prop
erties an item of $ ( 000,000 in cash ap
peared as "money in trust companies
and banks waiting investment in real
estate. "
Mr. Astor is a man of striking person
al appearance , being over BIX feet in
height , stout , somewhat inclined to cor
pulence , and straight as an arrow. When
on the street his quick , , elastic stop and
smiling face , fringed with small gray side
whiskers , invariably attracted attention.
Ilia dress is simple and surprisingly neat.
At business or in the street ho wears a
broadcloth cutaway or frock coat , with
trousers to match , comfortable-looking
shoes , always lightly polished , while in
his hand usually swingsas ho walks a
largo , purple silk umbrella. In summer
his costume is changed to a black serge
coat and trousers of some light color ,
while an easy straw hat rests lightly on
his ivory-white hair.
Mr. Astor , though seldom speaking of
himself , recently told a friend that al
though ho had complutcd three score
years , ho felt as well and hearty as ho did
at 40. Benevolence is his striking char
acteristic , one probably inherited from
the founder of the Astor library. Many
of his charities are published , though * ho
actual amount of good done with his ev
ery day chock book is little known. In
nearly all the charitable institutions of
this city the names of himself or wife ,
and often jointly , appear as largo givers.
During the winter months Mr. Aator .
is either at his oflico at No. 21 West
Twenty-sixth street , or at his homo at
No. 338 Fifth avonuo. The latter is
familiar to nearly every resident of Fifth
avenue , and is conspicuous for nothing
but its plainness and the spacious grounds
which surround it. It is built of fine
molded brick , with trimmings of brown
stone , and haa a double stairway loading
to the front entrance. The interior com
pares favorably with any palace.
During the Lite illness of his wife , Mr.
Actor's time was chietly devoted to cheer-
log her weary hours at the bedside with ;
the same untiring affection ho has shown
throughout tho- many years of his mar *
ried lifo. Ilia principal recreations are
visits to his elegant country seat at
llheinecliilo-on-tho-Hudson and yacht tt
ing. The country seal is an ancient-
looking establishment , kept in the finest
order , and is A reminiscence of olden time.
Well shaded with trees of every kind , its
immense lawni and gardens are traversed )
by long drives and walks.
Hero , in the long days of the summer
mouths , Mr. A a tor aita on the cool piazza
or under some shady tree and reads. Ho
is having built one of the finest pleasure
yachts yet launched in the waters of this
country , the cost of vrhich is placed at
a tnllo over $200,000. It will bo com
pleted early in the coining summer.
Do Curji Grow \Vintoi ?
It has generally boon believed that carp
do not increase in ai/e during SIn
weather , and that it ia therefore un un
profitable fish to raise in th * north. nA
correspondent of a Philadelphia papar ,
however , thinks otherwise. He r.rites : :
"The moro I BOO of this great pond fish ,
the more convinced I am that wo have
much yet to loam , and also some things
to unlearn ; and among the things to bo
unlearned is the common belief that carp
grow only m warm weather , which 1 feel
certain ia erroneous , and my belief or ra
thor disbelief in this theory , while not
founded on any systematic or mathemati
cal experiments , yet I have such ocular
proof on moro than one occasion of the
unaoundnoaa of this theory , tiiat I , in the
near future , aut determined to teat the
truthfulness or untruthfulness of this
problem in carp-culturo , and in a
manner thai will leave no room
for doubt , and I have none
whatever of the outcome. Only a few
days since 1 ordered an examination of r
small lot of twenty-five or thirty largo
carp in a Urge tank in my cellar , where
they had been all winter , and when callwl
to see & lot of them in a largo washing
tub I was stunned at the light of auch
fuh. Many of thom wore nearly two ;
feet lung und not lank and WHS ted , us one
would suppose after their winter's im
prisonment it ! a nearly dark collar , in
water , though odd , that did not freorc ,
and J waa considered too cold for carp
growth. That thcio fish hnd grown dur
ing the winter , thcra was bat ono opin
ion , and the person who put thom there
unhesitatingly decided that thejj were
much larger than whin put in in the
fall. They were as bright and as phimp
and healthy a lot of fish an over I saw ,
and the females wore lively developed ,
showing that their surroindinga could
not have boon otherwise than agreeable
to their natural wants. Fn jhort , \ feel
that Yankee acumen will dfepoll tnany
oil fogy notions , and that the culture of
this trreat grower and valuablS food fem
wipe riseto a plane of importance and
perfection in the near future in the Uni
ted < States , higher and bettor than the
same Imi e-rcr attained olsowhorj-in time
past.Vhai wo want is systematic and

and reject that which is not good , and in
this the staU ought to lend a

Governor Stanford's ' vineyard at Vina ;
Cal. , ia probably the largest in the statsy.
There are at present ton thousand acres
planted in grapevine * of different varie
ties , the greater portions of vrhich are
young as yet and have not boon produc
tive. The old Gorier vineyard , which
forma the nucleus , covers a space of
seventy- live acres. To this ono thousand
acres of young vines were added in 1882
and fifteen hundred acres in 188U. The
system that has boon followed in planting
v'inoa is very systematic the vines boini ;
an equal and exact distance apart. They
are all thrifty and form a beautiful sight
when viewed from any direction. The
irrigation ( of this vineyard is , perhaps the
most complete. in the world. At regular
intervals | through the vineyard avenues
are cut , which are forty feet in
width. Through those avenues are
run irrigating ditches , with a dtivaway
on each aide. The blocks thus formed
by the irrigating ditches are about fifty
yarda < wide , but extend a great length ,
and cpntainabout ono hundred1 acies each.
In thia way the system of irrigation is
made complato , and all the land receives
an equal proportion of water. Evorjr two
of those blocks are planted with a differ
ent variety of grapes. The main ditches
ruuio&str and west across the field , and
where the field ia uneven , intersecting
ditches aromado. . In some cases it has
boon necessary to construct flumes to
carry the water over the lower lands. A
llunio eighteen hundred feet' Ibng has
boon built to carry water over the alfalfa
field. Besides the ton thousand acrea
planted in vines , the governor owns ton
thousand acrea moro that ho has lately
acquired by purchase , some of which ho
is now putting in grain and some is- used
in .
pasture.
