in the northwest Is n rlvor discovered just

the resources of n tcmporato climate , oprl-
culture , pasturage , tlmbor , coal , Iron , gold ,
silver , tUhorioj , great waterpowors , grand
and awo-lnspiringsconery , good harbors , only
1,700 miles from thu nuvlgablo waters of
LiOko Superior and on u direct line of com-
tncrcul transportation from China , Japan
nnd East India to Now York , London and
Liverpool.
This great river , formerly called the
"Oregon" hut now Known as the "Colum
bia , " drains a very extensive region and
pours a volume of water Into the 1'aclllo ocean
nearly or qulto equal to thnt of the Mtsslsi-
Ippl Into the Gulf of Mexico. Its main
tributaries rUe near each other , one sweep
ing to ttio north several hundred miles ,
gathering tbo waters of many largo tribu
taries ; seine rising as fnr north as latltuuo
53 = , nonr the head of the Attmbnska river
Which Hews into the McKcnzlo and thcnco
Into the Arctic ocean. Uuforo reaching the
boundaries of the state of Washington these
innumerable tributaries liavo united In onu
grand Htroam , having u volume of water
ludlclcnt to lloat the largest rivur stoamor-j.
Another of the main tributaries of thu Co
lumbia rises witliln u stone's throw of thu
headwaters of the Yellowstone and Missouri
and tbo waters of the Uio Colorado. This
branch or tributary known as Snake river
weeps toward the south and gathers the wa
ters of the Owyhco , the headwaters of which
rise near thosoof the llllinboldt nnd on IU
right oank the Matnd , Bolso , tinlmant nnd
Cloarwnlcr. Before the Snake rlvor enter.- )
the slate of Washington It has accumulated
enough water to form nuothor trroat water
way inr commcrco from thence to the ocean.
Near the central portion of Washington thu
Snake river joins tbo Columbia and further
down towards the ocean many other streams
empty a bountiful supply of water into this
great rlvor , the largest of which Is the mag
nificent Willamette , which rises in sight of
Mt , Shasta and near the head waters of the
Sacramento river In northern California , tbo
\VHlumotto also forms n waterway for coin-
jncrcc , and ocean steamers ascend it as far as
the city of Portland , giving proof that this
troam alone is one worthy of uolo us a com
mercial waterway.

Western NebniHlcii mid Irrigation.
The year 1692 oucht to see great progress
In irrigation matters iti the semi-arid coun
ties of Nebraska , says the Irrigation Ago.
There arc twenty-five of those counties , end
most of them have abundant water supplies ,
either surface ov underground. The land is
_ very rich , the cllmuto good , nnd the coudl-
tlons such as to make ranal building very
cheap.
This portion of Nebraska has bad hard
'
luck for the past seven years. Last year
there was a fair rainfall , and tbo people bad
a taste of prosperous times. It was only a
bare suggestion of what they can have
every year with irrigation. After so
many Reasons of disappointment
nnd so much harsh criticism from
their fellow citizens in the eastern part or
the fitnto , they ought to take especial prldu
in pushing to the front on the present swell
ing lido of Irrigation Interest. If they do so
they will make their lands double the value
of lands in the eastern counties ; they twill
put now lifo into their sluggish towns ; they
will add a glory to thu name of their stuto
which it never possessed boforo.
Irrigation In western Nebraska has mndo
a promising start. It is to bo hoped It will
bo vigorously followed up. Tborols no souse
in the western half of Nebraska boinu adver
tised to tbo country , every two or tbroo
years , as n wretched object of chiinty. It
ought to enjoy oven and great prosperity.

The police of San Francisco , In their war
upon the Hlghblndor.s and other criminal
Chinese soelotlos , have found It necessary to
Invade tbo sacred Joss houso. Tbo murder
of one Chuoy Sue Yce , a Chinese doctor ,
was recently traced to the Chun Ling
Ban Tong socmty , and ns a means
to securing cvldonco it was decided
to break up the incotinc place of the
"council" of the society. This the police
learned was in an old building In the neigh
borhood of the oftlco where the doctor bail
boon bhot down as tin sat wornlng at bis
desk. A squad of police surrounded the
place , and tun of them hroko into it with
11x03 and uledgos. Within , n temple of Joss
was discovered , furnished nnd embellished
nftcr tbo Celestial fashion , The pollcumun
with their axes bowed down tbo god , split
the htiuvy mahogany tabios , laid low idols in
the niches , and knocked to pieces the metal
vessels and other paraphernalia of the
society. Nothing was left Intact but on Iron
nafo containing the records of the society ,
Which was carried off.

is 505 miles. Saddlery hardware Is third-
class for that haul as the olllclal classifica
tion governs from eastern points to tbo Mis
sissippi rlvor. ThU proportionate through
rates on shipments to points woit of rlvor
points for thlrd-classj from Canton , O. , to
East Burlington is .US " cents per 100 pounds.
If the shipment Is io"r Ottumwu , la. , twonty-
11 vo miles west of 'Burlington , saddlpry
goods arn changed to second-class , ns west
ern classification \vlll then govern , and the
local Iowa rate for , that distance and class Is
28 cents. So wo sea the through haul from
Canton , O. . to Ottumwa , la. , Is 5 ( ! cents ,
half of which is for o haul across Ohio , In
diana and Illinois WJA miles and iho other
half for soventy-flvo ihllos in Iowa. Suppose
those goods nro shipped to ICearnoy , Nob. ;
what will bo the elements of charges for thu
haul I It will bo the sum of the through rate
to Burlington , local across Iowa ara the local
In NebrasKa to terminal point. That Is 28
'
cents , 40 couts and 015 co'nts for Ohio , In
diana and Illinois , 5M mites ; 1100 in Iowa nnd
the 200 miles In Nebraska , or a total or $1.24
for 1OG5 miles. . Suppose a man shipped
10,000 pounds , tho'freight would bo $124.
Now suppose the ton nor mile rnto from
Canton to the Mississippi nvor'was mndo on
the whole distance ( and as tbo sum of locals
make iho basis for through rates it is the
duty of state officials to make locals low
enough to bring through rates ) , then the
local across Iowa should bo 15 cents , and to
Kearney from Council Bluffs 10 cents , or a
total of"53 cents per 100 pounds or $53 for the
10,000 pounds shipment. Thus wo see tbo
Nebraska dealer submits to an overcharge of
$71 on this shipment , and Instead of paying
$ : i ho has to give up S124 , and the governor
talks about n 10 per cent reduction.
Suppose n car of lumber Is shipped from
Rock Island , 111. , to Kearney. The 320 mile
haul across Iowa is fas.22. if it weigh 3"OaO
pounds , and from Council Bluffs to Kcarnoy
it Is $54.25 , making n total of S93.47 for Iho
500 mile haul. If Nebraska rains wore the
same as Iowa rates , $25.48 would bo the bill
from Council Bluffs to Kearney Instead of
51.25. This Is $28.77 of un overcharge because -
cause our railroads hnvo bought up state
olllclals. If lumber rates wcro cut 50 per
cent nn overcharge would still exist on all
shipments made inland ever 200 tnilos.
If a Kearney merchant buys 1,000
pounds of hats and caps In Omaha ,
hU freight bill wlU bo f : ( . If nn Iowa man
buys tbo saino goods thosamo distance from
the market his bill is $4. If a shoo dealer at
Kearney buys 2,000 pounds of boots und
shoes In Omaha his frieght will bo § 12. In
Iowa it is JU for the same work. If iho shoo
dealer lives in McCook , the homo of one of
our state board , the rates on 2OOJ pounds of
shoos would bo $15. Tbo bumo shipment
and sumo distance in Iowa would bo $10.83.
If a hardware dealer In North Plutto buys n
bill of goods of any ono of the several good
bouses In Omaha say it Is 5,000 pounds -It
will call for a freight bill of $35.50. Tbo
snmo shipment and same distance In Iowa
would bo $10.51.
Instances could bo cited through the whole
list of goods shipped , but thu above Is a fair
sample. There is nn average ovorcharcn of
$17 on every car of corn that gous east from
the Missouri river. And Friday Johnson nt
al say , because of through rates wo should
lot local rates alone. Every pound of mer
chandise In Nebraska , oxccptingtbatHhlppcd
to Lincoln , Is based on local rates. Nobrnska
has no through merchandise rates , and our
povornor suggests a 10 to 20 per cunt roduo
tlonl
Call your extra session , gov'crnor , and the
next regular session will bo able to pass laws
of rates low enough. You hnvo saved the
railroads $0,000,000 to f8,000,000 so far , nnd
you can now save the state a llko amount by
doing your duty. A. J. GUSTI.V.

T. J. llannajon , who Is better known
about town us "The Famous , " attempted to
cotuiultt suicide by hanging In his cell nt
tho'ilty jail early yesterday morning. Ho
was discovered hanging from the top ot the
cage by another prison or , who called In ttio
nllcr just in tlmo to save his life.
Hannau'un bus nlwavs been u hard drinker
nnd Is sometimes temporarily Insane from thu
effects of liquor. It Is supposed that ho was
iu this cundmon when hu attempted to end
his llfo.
Ho wns arrested nbout midnight Satur
day for ( JlMuruine the police. As ho was
locked up ho salt ) , "Hoy's , goodbyonud don't '
Jrlnlt. 1 was onoo n man but am ono no
longer. I have got to llvo 12,000 years in
boll. " No attention was paid to his ravings ,
ns ho wns often that way when intoxicated.
About 9 o'clock another prisoner hc.ud a
choking sound in llaimagcn's cell nnd cnllod
the jailer. Hnunagcn had lorn up his
llnnucl shirt nnd tied the strips together to
make n rone. Ho luid evidently stood on
the bench whllo ho attached ono end of the
rope to the top of the cagu and tbo other to
his neck and tnon jumped off.
Ho wna cut down and In iho course of nn
hour appeared none thu worse for his oxpoil-
unce.
Hanungon Is the man who occasioned n
commotion in thu police court room two years
ago. Judge King was trying a case and the
room was full ot spectators , rinunagcn
burst into thu room jumped ever the railing
and sent out his right list in
n search for Judcu King's jaw. His honor
ducked sclontillcally nnd thu blow went over
him ni'.d landed under the car of Councilman
Pat Rowley , who was standing behind him.
It took the whole availablu pollcu force
about ten minutes to get tbo crazy inobrlato
into a cell ,

The corporations that control the loading
industries of the Maglo City uro not alone In
their plans for Improvements during the
coming season. Private individuals have
acquired conlldonco from the oxumplo of the
stock yards company and packers , and
plans nro already being drawn for n number
of now business blocks and handsome resi
dences.
The vacant lot on Twenty-fourth street bo-
twoun the new loggers & Bock building und
the Stockman block will bo occupied by an
elegant throe-story brick building. Charles
Braudols , who has already erected ouo hand
some business building on Twenty-fourth
street , will bo the ostensible owner. Charles
Singer , the N Htreot dry goods merchant , U
anothnr who has conlldnnco enough in thu
future of South Omaha to erect a business
building. His block will bo erected on his
property nt Twenty-fourth and N streets ,
and will bo ono of the lluost In tba city.
The unsightly wooden buildings on the
northeast corner of Twenty-sixth and N
streets will uKo glvo place to a largo business
block. Frauk i'lvonKa , tbo owner of the
property , will boulu the erection of a hand
some three story brick structure early In the
spring. The now building will bavo a
frontage of 105 foot on N street , mid will boone
ono of the largest single buildings in the
city. Tbo plans for all of these buildings
are alroadv in course of preparation and
work will probably bo bugun as soon us tbo
frost is out of tbo ground.
It Is yet too early in tbo season to form an
accurate Idea of the number of now resi
dences that will bo built this year , but there
uro a number in prospect that will add
greatly to the appearance of the residence
districts of the city. The plans are already
drawn for ono which will bo erected at
Twenty-third nnd B streets by James Hnlo ,
superintendent ot the hog department of the
Cuduhy Packing company. The estimated
cost Is upwards of $5,000 , and it will bo ono
of the most handsomely furnished private
residences in the city. The demand for n
better class of houses for rent is Increasing ,
and several local capitalists are considering
the question of building n number of houses
for rent of a moro expensive and ornamental
pattern than those now In uso.

Daniel Kelly is n widower who lives with
his three small children in n cheerless
shanty at Twenty-second and O streets.
Ills wife died two years ago , nnd since then
the children are loft with no one to care for

sprees. Ho was arrested whllo beastly
drunk Saturday night , and yesterday a naif
starved and shivering child not moro than 8
years old appeared ac tbo pollco station and
tearfully inquired what had becomeof
"papa. "
'Sho said it wns cold at home , and tboy had
been alone all night. Her toira proved
moro effectual than anything else could have
been , nnd Kelly v/us given bis liberty on his
premise to go homo nnd take care of his
children aud appear before Judge King this
morning.
