TIIK railroads houtline : toward Omaha should ho encouraged. The cold shoul der is us discouraging to corporations as to individuals. NKW gold fields have boon discovered in Utah , but it is doubtful whether the placers nro sulllciontly rich to warrant a stampede to that territory. CIIIKF SKAVHYhas earned the ever lasting gratitude of every Indy in the city by ordering policemen to clear the prominent street corners of idlers and loafers. RAi'in transit in Omaha is an early certainty. The decision of the consoli dated company to substitute electricity for horseflesh will bo mi agreeable sur prise to its patrons , and a great benefit to the city. AFTKH a season of profound silence Abe Hewitt expresses his disappoint ment at the foreign appointments of the administration. Hewitt is n back number. Ho has not sense enough to realize that ho is dead. TIIK report that the Omaha street railway company has lot the contract to the Sprague electric motor company of Now York city , for n full plant of power machinery and motors is an indication that the days of the horse car are num bered. ASSESSORS who put valuable property on the assessors' rolls at four thousand when it should bo forty thousand , may have committed clerical errors , but the truth is" there are too many such slips of the pen in favor of the tax shirkers of this city. TIIK two per cent sharks will liavo n rocky road to travel in Kansas after the 25th hist. A now usury law goes into effect on that day. The contract rate of interest is limited to ten par cent , and the lognl rate six per cent. The penalty for usury is double the excess of interest taken. CLKVKLAND is making himself gen erally useful in private life. Ho has boon added to the committee to solicit funds for the Centennial arch in Now York. Lot him bo nlacod on a con- epicuous corner , where people can "drop n nickel in the slot and see the ex-president smllo. " COLORADO has gone into the manufacture - facturo of common glass bottles. This is an enterprise for which the silica deposits of that state nro well adapted. The failure heretofore of the glass in dustry InMJolorndo has largely boon duo to the unsuccessful attempt to make window and plato glass. VlOK-PUKSIDBMT SVK153 , of the Northwestern , denies that his railroad prouosos to push its Noltraska exten sions to Donvor. The Northwestern , I apparently , is content to develop the inlloago now under its control. This will bo u Bore disappointment to Den ver , which was bunking heavily on the project. TIIH i'0-appoliitmont of James \v. Buvago as n government director of the Union Pacific keeps up the unbroken record of giving Omaha and Nebraska u representation on the commission. Judge Savage lias a great opportunity before him to soouro for this city and Btute proper consideration at the hands of the Union Pacific directory. ' TIIK street bogging nuisance .has bo- coino Intolerable. Omaha should follow the exumplo of other cities by oxclud- log this form of vagrancy. Tramps abound in herds , und have captured all outlying streets. They are bold and im pudent to ladles who refuse them moat and drink. Ollloors should scour the residence streets daily and run the vagabonds out of the city. TIIK evils und inaccuracies of assess ments complained of by the county coili- inUslonora are not so great that they cannot bo remedied without conflicting with Judge Wakcloy's ruling. Clerical competency is the IIrat necessity. Every assessor should bo required td make er rorless returns und maka valuations conform without regard to ward bound aries. The romudy is in the hands of the commissioners. A UllAZVX SLANDnn. ThO'followlnp extract from h loiter from a prominent citizen of Michigan explains Itself : Uio lupins , Mich. , May 18. To the Editor of Tun DF.K ! A well-known tcmporanco ftgl- tater , Mary A. Lnthrop , of Jackson , Mlcli. , In a speech to n largo nudlonco In this city , last night , made tlio statement that there wore four thousand prostitutes in the city of Omaha , making their headquarters in the sa loons of your city , and that tlioy paid n 11- ccnso mto'tlio city treasury to the amount of $42,000 annually , and were licensed and pro tected In consideration thereof , and tlmt the schools of Omnhu wcro built up and sup ported , to n grout extent , by tLo tnx paid bv prostitutes , Omaha Is a nlco town to move uway rom , with Hint state of fuels existing. If tho'statomcnts nro not true , they do your city no Rood , and your people should It now Hint they arc In circulation In ordur to refute them. This is a fair sample of the falsehoods coined by the champions of prohibition. It is especially reprehensible when wo consider the sourco. A woman who will publicly insult and slander her sex IB unworthy of the name. There is not a city in this country of equal population whore the social evil is held so completely within bounds as in Omaha. It docs not make its head quarters In the saloons , and instead of four thousand prostitutes , as assorted by Mrs. Lalhrop , there are only two hundred and thirty-eight. They arc not licensed nor protected by the city , but are frequently arrested by the po lice and fined in the police court. The manifest purpose of this braxon slander is to discredit high license and bolster up tlio waning cause of prohibi tion. A cause requiring falsehood and calumny for props is very weak , The freedom and frequency with which those untruths are uttered shows n la mentable lack of morality and integrity. The logic of facts and experience are against prohibition. Its advocates can not overcome the stubborn truth that high license and regulation ns enforced in Omaha and Nebraska are conducive to law and order. Compared with pro hibition in Iowa or Kansas , it is an evil restrained against an evil rampant. THE UEET SUGAR INDUS Hir. The growth of interest in the cul tivation of the sugar beet in this coun try , and the promise that within a few years the boot sugar industry will huvo become ono of very considerable impor tance hero , render interesting all facts pertaining to this industry in other countries. The May number of the Popular Stiiencs Monthly contains an ex haustive article on this subject by Mr. A. EC. Almy , which so far as the facts presented are concerned , is exceeding ly instructive. The problem of success fully cultivating the sugar beet and ex tracting its saccharine principle , en gaged the attention of the governments and people of European countries dur ing the early part of the present cen tury , with no satisfactory results , until about twenty years ago , when Germany , after many experiments and the pay ment of u vast sum in bounties , solved the problem. As soon as the desired result was attained there followed an immense increase of sugar production , and the Gorman farmers found in this industry a source of profit and prosperity that they could hardly have dreamed of as possi ble. The value of their farms increased enormously , there was an added demand for labor which gave employment to thousands , and every department of trade and cvory channel of transporta tion speedily experienced the benefits of the new industry. The load taken by Germany in the production of boot sugar slio has maintained , increasing her product from twenty-live hundred tons in 1876 to a million three hundred thousand tons in 1883. The other Euro pean countries which produce beet sugar are Prance , Austria-Hungary , Russia and Poland , Belgium and Hol land , and the total European product in 1885 was two million ilvo hundred and forty-six thousand tons. This is somo- wliat greater than the product of the cane-sugar countries. The value of the boot sugar industry to Germany is esti mated at so von ty-fivo million dollars a year for the sugar alone. The statistics of the cost of manufacture , under the simple and inexpensive methods adopt ed in the Gorman factories , show the in dustry to bo highly profitable , the prime cost for conversion being but one cent per pound of sugar , leaving out the cost of tlio boot root. The production of boot sugar in continental Europe has doubled in the last decade , with the effect of re ducing the price of sugar in the markets of the world more than fifty per cent. With regard to the introduction of the industry in this country , the most successful experiment thus far has boon in California , but Mr. Almy is of tlio opinion that Various suctions north of Mason find Dixon's line , where the rain fall is regular HUe eastern Pennsyl vania and Now Jersey * with their long Indian summers , present all the condi tions to produce thu sugar boot to nor- fection. The regions thus designated as especially favorable to this industry are doifbtloss Ho bettor than the sec tions of Nebraska whore thn sugar boot hasbeonj.0 . some extent cultivated with the , most t > atinfaotory results. So far as climatic conditions arc concerned , the portion of Nebraska whore It Is pro posed to try the cultivation of tlio sugar boot on u largo acalo , is unquoutionably as well favored as eastern Pennsylvania and Now Jersey. All the facts ) regarding the develop ment of the sugar buot Industry nro of a character to oncourngo Us introduction in this country. The growing of beets is not only prolltablo in ilsolf , having averaged the farmers of California , un- gugod In it , over eighty dollars per aero , but it is a good tiling for the soil. The boot root , says Mr , Almy , as n biennial plant , outers readily into rota tion with annual plants , and with tlioso plants k'luwn to exhaust the soil. It precedes barley , \vheat , rye and oats , and prepares the soil in a marvelous manner for cereals , the subsequent for- tllizution of which prepares the soil for the boot. The recent vigorous exhibitions of race antagonism in several sections of the south have to seine extent renewed public Interest in tlio we issue , and both republicans und deiiuiorAts have cotisldqrud the poisiblu otVuct they might have in shup'ng ' thu puUcy of the administration in the soulh. Although merely local ebullitions , they are recog nized even by southern democrats as having a significance , and seine of the more conservative of thoao have de plored the occurrences as tending to defeat the hope of the wiser and bolter element among southern democrats for a policy of non-interference on the part of the nullonnl administration with po litical affairs In that section. Of course there is not much that the admin istration coula do , in any event , beyond vindicating the right of the colored man to political considera tion by appointing him to federal olllco in the south , but congress may do a great deal , and the loss reckless of the southern democrats do not desire to provoke legislation whicli if it should not fully protect the colored citizens of the south in the oxorclso of their po litical rights , would deprive these who deny them their rights of any advan tage from such denial , The misfortune Is tlmt the num ber of such democrats is not much larger and that they nro not , mord influential. There Is unquestionably a wide field for the missionary work of conservative nion , and while It may bo believed that the Hold is gradually narrowing , a gt cat deal of labor will yet bo neces sary before the obstinate prejudices ol the majority shall bo overcome. Whun ono reads that a man can not bo a re publican in the city of New Orleans without inviting social ostracism , his faith is necessarily shaken in the pro fessions that are made in behalf of the "now south , " and ho is compelled to regard with distrust the patriotic assu rances convoyed by southern orators when they como nor.th. However , there are conditions at work in the south which promise in time to effect a radical change in the sentiment of at least a largo part of that section. Much of the prevailing1 prejudice , political and social , must inevitably give way before the march of industrial progress and material prosperity. And perhaps the true policy is to leave the solution of the "southern question" to the op eration of the new conditions that arc at work thoro. NOT SO OVERWI1EL In double-loaded brevier the Sunday Herald makes proclamation to all the world : The verdict of. the voters Is in , and It over whelms the ndvoontos and supporters of the cxtrnva attt demands of tin extravagant school board. There Is recorded a decisive majority not only against the schema to enlarge - largo the high school building , but also against the scheme of 52-23,000 for real estate , etc. When it is remembered that to have carried the bonds required a two-thirds vote of all the ballots cast , and that not even 1mlf of the total was cast In the aftlrmativo , It will be scon how thoroughly in earnest the public became. This is enough to make a horse laugh. "Overwhelming Defeat. " "Decisive Majority. " What bombastic rot ! That editorial must have been written over at Maurer's big turtle restaurant. Over whelming defeat with a bare majority of eighty. A decisive and emphatic popular verdict with nineteen thousand voters staying at home and loss than nineteen hundred Voting on tho'issuo. A change of forty votes would have carried the two hundred and twenty- live thousand dollar bonds , despite the opposition of the combine. It only re quires a majority to authorize the issue of school bonds. TIIK Chicago Tribune has taken the pains to refute the charges universally made that the price of dressed beef to consumers has not declined during the past live ypars by giving the following prices per pound at which the carcass was sold at wholesale to retail butchers in eastern markets : Year. Price rango. 1834 8 (310 ( cents 18S5 7K ® 9 cents 1880 Oi C'5 8 cents 1887 fl @ 7tfconts } 1SS3 C'f@ ' 0 } cents 1889 to date 4 % @ 0 cents This statement clearly indicates a gradual falling in the price of moat amounting to at least forty per cent for the period covered by the table. The decline , iiovvovei' , is so gradual that the consumers hardly can bo expected to note the differences. It stands to rea son , ho waver , that prices must rule lower now than they did some time ago. The price of cattle has fallen , freight rates are lower , and the claim is made by the dressed hoof men and local butchers that they are making less profits than five years ago. The truth is the cheapening process has affected the dressed beef industry as much as any other branch of manufacture , and the consumer in the long run reaps the benefit. TIIK sonata committee appointed to mnlco investigations on irrigation ill the western territories will presently take up its work in connection with tlio geological logical survey. Its object will bo to ox- amlno and report whether it bo feasablo to reclaim for agricultural purposes tlio immense arid tract comprising an area equal to ono hundred and fifty thousand square miles and stretching from the head waters of the Missouri to the boundaries of Now Mexico. It is well to'understand that the government does not propose to irrigate this land for the people , but' to determine whether or not private capital can bo profitably employed in this enterprise. Congress , in other words , stops in as the scientific export in behalf of the people to settle a boiontlllo question. The actual work of reclaiming these lands devolves upon the states and ter ritories within whoso boundaries the arid bolt Is located. If at all practicable private capital no doubt will bo drawh into the enterprise und the task will necessarily consume many years as well as i\ vast outlay. TIIK president is not expected to ap point a successor to the lute Justice Matthews , of the supreme court , before September , and conjecture is rife as to who may be selected to fill the vacancy , the most common belief being that the chances of Attorney-General Miller are the best. It is intimated that this may not ho the only vacancy the president will be culled upon to fill before the close of the year. Justice Miller , who is eligi ble for retirement , is said to seriousl/ contemplate taking advantage of this privilege curly in December. Ho wu < j appointed resident Lincoln In 1802 , and is now Is seventy-third year , bo that he nil Imvo retired three years ngo , the la 'ovidlng ' that justices of the supron .18 , who Imvo served ton . years may rouro on full pay at the ngo of seventy. Justice Miller's faculties are unimpaired , but itlsnatural tlmt ho should dcsiro , after twonty-sovon years of service on the bench , lo pass the re maining years of Ills lifo frco from the cares and obligations of judicial duties. TIIK charge of six dollars for every car load of stock shipped from Iowa across the , .Union Pnciflo bridge to South Omaha , a distance of not over six miles , is a gross injustice and Imposi tion. The very fact that the road agreed to make a rate of four dollars a car for the service is evidence that the Union Pacific acUnowlogdcslho charges to bo exorbitant. The plea is inado that a six dollar rate is necessary to pay for the switching and making up of stock trains. But oven with the most liberal allowance for that expense , these charges are out of all proportion to the service. A FLOOD of light is being thrown uK | n'tlio abuses existing at the Cook county , Illinois , insane asylum hy the investigation conducted in the county court. If ono naif of the testimony bo true , the treatment of patients is not only inhuman , but fiendish. The mis management is attributed to the inter ference of politics and favoritism with the affairs of the institution. There can bo no question that tlio evils which exist in nine out of ton public asylums , hmpilals , poor houses and prisons through the country can bo traced directly to the spoils of politics. A DKA.TJ is reported to have boon ef fected in Now York city between rep resentatives of the American meat company and the American cattle trust whereby the former will handle the entire product of the latter. This is jin ambitious scheme fathered by Stephen S. Dorsoy in behalf of the cattle industry of Now Mexico on ono hand , and Now York capitalists on the other , who are to erect largo packing house.1' in convenient packing centers. It re mains to bo seen how much of a ( Iguro the now company will cut in the dressed beef business of the country. MANY of our German citizens will feel somewhat surprised at the an- nounccmqntjhat L. W. Hoborcom has boon appointed fifth auditor of the treasury. Mr. Hoborcom will bo re membered by ujany of our citizens as a former resident of Omaha , who edited a defunct Gorman paper , dabbled freely in local politics , and was a liberal patron of resorts that keep lager on draught. Now that ho has become the head of a division in the United States treasury , he will liavo abundant means to make good all his outstanding plodgesand wipe old scores off thcslato. TIIK upshot of the investigation of the interior department in the alleged irregularities connected with the open ing of the Oklahoma lands has boon the dismissal 'of Marshal .Tones. ' The president and attorney-general decided not to allow Jones to resign , but to rc- inovo him at once. This fact strongly indicates that there has boon gross mis conduct on the part of olllcials in Okla homa. Tlio disgrace of Marshal Jones will bo a wholesome lesson to those men who may bo charged with the opening of the Sioux reservation. EMi'KitOH WiMjlAii realizes that the best way to humble a monopoly is to strike its pocket. Ho lias warned the mine owners who have ground their workmen to the limit of endurance that they must relent or suffer the abroga tion of royal favors and profitable rail road tariffs. This will soon put an end to the strike. If similar remedies could be applied to the grasping corporations of this country , there would bo loss disposition to force strides and fewer conflicts between capital and labor. TIIK unusual large shipment of corn to Europe within tlio past few weeks haa increased the complaint of export ers that they have not sufllcient stock on hand nor tonnage immediately avail able to move it. It is doubtful , how- ovoi , whether the improved tone in the foreign market will benefit the farmer in obtaining for him moro than an'ne- tlvo market for his surplus. Ocean freights are higher this year and absorb serb a part of the higher price for that cereal obtained abroad. TIIK difficulty of separating the mica in the tin ores of the Black Hills has been a stumbling block to tlio develop ment of the rich deposits said to exist in the vicinity of Ilarnoy's Peak. The problem , however , is now being solved by tin experts. If the ores call bo re duced effectively and cheaply , a great future is opening for Dakota , in the production und manufacture of tin plato. , .

The result in Massachusetts guvo their enthusiasm a black oyn. " The Howolls Journal is amused to ECU tlio number of papers that are coming to the de fense of the twine trust , and remarks : "It Is ajiablt with some papers to defend any kind of u monopoly , and they do not HCOIII able to make any exception of the twlnu trust. Tlio paper that comns out und do- funds thu twine trust and advises thu furui- era not to brjjaluize for their own protection . not receive" very co'rdlal support from the farmers of the country , nnd our own state Is no exception.

INTOLERANCE IS DYING OUT The Day of 1'olKlonl Vplionvltift la Dawning The Possibility or tlio ritnto of Louisiana Going Solid Ilatiubllcan. Gond-Byo to thn Shotgun Rule. Nnw Onr.K.VNs , Ln. , May 10. ( SpecialCor rcspondenco of TUB Hun. ] Wo nro in a transitory condition in ls'ow Orleans archi tecturally , socially and politically. Many of the old rookorlos that have for so long dis graced this otherwise beautiful city , arc dis appearing ; old bases are falling In , nnd properties are being divided up , and put on the market. On all sides It Is noticed that building Is being rapidly pushed , Indicating very clearly that the Pelicans are not qultu Insensible to thu necessities of tbo occasion. Eight stories Is the highest elevation yet at tempted In Now Orleans building. The reasons for that limit I cannot exactly say , but possibly the lack of suitable foundation may explain tbo peculiarity. There nrn no cellars to any buildings noru. After the ex cavator gets down two foot below the street level mud is mot with , anil it foot deeper brings him to water. So all our houses and public buildings , generally speaking , are IIUII.T ON t'li.ns , in lieu uf the usual bi'ick or atone founda tions. Of course it will take a long tlmo before Now Orleans Is freed from the old ' 'rattle trap" stores that now disfigure our finest streets. Camp , St. Charles and Cnrondolct , with Canal nnd Rumpart , all magnincout thorouehfnrcs , pos sess all thcsn anomalies In construction. It will take them another half century to wipe them away. Socially , I bollovo that the old barriers are being broken down. That hard foollnp against the "Yankee" received its death blow. Of course lor many years business relations between northern nnd southern people have boon uninterrupted , and of the most profitable character , but the prejudices of anti-bulluin days have been cherished oven to this day In the drawing and club room. In Now Orleans the only possi bility of ontrco a man from tbo north can hope for. Is to declaru himself a democrat. Under these circumstances you may receive n sort of qualified recognition , but should you avow yourself a republican then SOCIAL O3T11AC1SM follows to the bitter end. This Is no over drawn picture. I am fortified In my opinions by the information given to mo by the very best republicans in New Orleans , nnd in formation I may bo permitted to give later on will confirm nil 1 have now asserted. Yet , despite the discouraging aspect of affairs , I adhere to my original statement , that wo are In a state of transition ; because I opluo that before many years will bo witnessed a revo lution In change.of sentiment. The old "moss backs" are dying out ; tlio daughters and sons of the old-times are bcginninc now to reign lu their stead , and the plate-glass doors of the defunct brigadiers nro opening to re ceive the sometime detested northerner. If wo are on the eve of n "changoof front. " architecturally and socially , so can it , with equal confidence , bo stated that wo arc about to see seeA A I'OMTIOAI. urHBAVAL In both tlio ranks of republicanism and dem ocracy. Tins UKB keeps its readers too well informed about southern affairs for matters of detail to bo given now by your correspond ent , but no ono could form the faintest con ception as to the chaotic conditioner political mutters in New Orleans without being actually on the ground. If this city is , ns it has been described to bo , the "heart" of the state of Louisiana , tlmt bents rcsponslvcly to her actions , then It argues well for republi canism In the future. Now Orleans' senti ments can bo accounted as the correct rclicx of the state's opinions. Now , I havono hesi tation in saying that if BOUIO elucidation to tbo "color" dlQIculty can bo devised between now and tlio next presidential campaign Louisiana will go SOLIDLY ItCriNII.ICAN , and the same can bu said truthfully of the greater part of the ctrtlro southern country , such us Alabama , Mississippi and Tennessee. The whole fabric of southern democracy Is honeycombed with republicanism. The other night I spoke with a thoroughly represen tative guutloman ( State Senator Barrows ) of Huyou Sara , nil old ex-confederate sol dier , and now a plnntur , and In the course of a vury delightful conversation I elicited the Information that "If Harrison will only keep the 'niggers' in such n condition Unit the whites may bo convinced that they will not bo subjected teA A Nir.no JUWOIAUV and other indignities of n like nature. Old Tipnocanoo can count on the solid south sup porting him next time. " Senator Harrows' pronunciation has been duplicated a dozen times to the writer. It may bo said , however - over , that these opinions nro simply those of country delegates. Admitting that , I would in continuation sny that precisely thu same Ideas have boon communicated to your cor respondent by prominent democrats In this city , Thu reasons nro not hard to discern. Respectable democracy Is thoroughly tired of being ruled by "bum" clement , nnd parenthetically I would say right hero tlmt this community Is as full of "bums , " "ward heelers , " and POLITICAL I1OUBTA11OUTS as any city I ever struck , not oven excepting Gotham. Proportionalloy to its population there are moru respectably dressed "toughs" congregated In Now Orleans than nuywhoro I have ever been. Municipal coriuntloii stalk abroad unchecked. The people have tried various forms of government. First they hud tlio "Ring" denomination , thu square toed democratic rulo. Becoming dissatisfied they fired them out nnd substituted n sort of compromise local government , bettor known as the Young Men's Democratic association Y. M. D. A. This executive is a regular JtUVOLVKIt ANM ) SIIOT3UN ruling power , Their ticket was elected by force of arms. This Is no mutophor , for the records show that there were all the way from 8,000 to 10,000 men under arms on elec tion duy dtntribiitcd about the polls. Little womlur they are on top to-day. Tlio men who catim to vote the old ballot looked down the shining Uarrol of a Smith & Wes son 89 , received a chill , and "reckoned they wouldn't ' vote that tlnlo. " Tills government has had the bridle reins for a year , and now ovorv ono Is howling for their removal. The old democrats , I understand - stand , did fairly well in power , but they kept the good things of olllco ' 'too oloso , " BO their gonoi-.il policy wax attacked , und u sort of AN UNHOLY ALLIAXC1B formed by the Noruhe.ldn in the democratic party , the Colcman faction of the republican party and the negro voters. Combined , this aggregation downed the at democrats with the result as I said before , that every one who formed tills precious combine , mivo thu bosses uf thu Y. M. D. A. , uru Kicking tlioinsclvcH for having effected the change , I predict a return to power of the old line democrats. Huforo I oloso I would like to say a word about Till ! I'KESS OK THIS CITY.

[ Special to Tun Ur.K.J It a man would fcol dtmlnuliva lot him got aboard of a train nt Denver on route to Qruyinont , Col. As soon ns tha foothills of the Rocky mountains , If ho had never before scon them , arc reached , ho fools the Impression of sublimity , which presently changes to awe ns the canon la farther pierced , nud Iris eyes discern the piles of rook that nature has upheaved. Ifi3 * suddenly perceives there Is something far Inrgor than no Is , and his self-conceit , for tha present , subsides. There is probably nut to bu found olsuwhuro on the continent us ninny miles , continuously , of majestic nud wonder- Inspiring scenory. Whoever conceived the project of building u railway up Clear crook canon must Imvo been a courageous en- plnoor. Hardly less adventurous worn the Intrepid miners who sought out the way to Idaho Springs and Georgetown before tha railroad was contemplated. Wlicro there had seoiucil to bo room only for the sinuous crook between tbo rocky walls of the mountains , the pioneer minors mndo a wagon road. Afterwards the mountains had to give way to make room for the locomotive to traverse the gulch. Idaho Springs Is now the clitnf in In in g center of this region. The ofllecs nnd Ina- chluo shops are lioro. Thu machinery of thu stamp mills Is repaired nt this place , nnd any ether machinery used in tlio mining and re duction works. Uulldfcig lumber Is cut only a few mllot south , from the native pine , nud n lumber yard is maintained. Dimension stuff , shoot ing ami lloorlng uuufo of the plno nro used for building purposes In this vicinity. The species of wood is unlike any that Is to bo found lu tha Omaha market hauler than ttio northern wlilto piniyuml not as hard as southern yellow plno , but full of small hard knots. The town has Its waterworks , electrio light plant mid a lire engine house. The ditch for conducting the water to the rosor- volr extends away up the mountain side to the snow line , nud the water is us pure , clear nnd soft ns that from u Virginia spring. Water mains nro laid in the streets and pipes to the dwellings Just as in Omaha. Flru hydrants nro placed at street corners and sprinkling hydrants in the dooryards. Tliu reservoir Is ut such nltltudo as to make the pressure sufllciont to meet all required wants , nnd bunco a force-pump is needless. The tourist would scarcely expect to find such modern improvements so remote from nny considerable city , away up a mountain canon , hid away from thu vision of ull out siders. Tbo town Is built upon n plu'.uau containing about twenty-four acres of level land , and has four churches , a largo briuk school house , n stamping mill and buth liouso. The last is provldud with tlio mmum of bathing lu the hot soda watur just as it conies from the spring u little distance above , and is a resort , for Invalids who como hero scekincr health. The mines hereabouts , giving employment to n great force of men , furnish thu sustoii- tation of the town , and U the mines fall , so likewise will the town.
