Banks Meet Railroad Payroll. ALLIANCE, Neb., Nov. 23. (Special Telegram.)

BOOST FOR RIVER TRAFFIC Sioux City Proposes to Hold a Big" Convention in January.

DES MOINES, la., Nov. 23 (Specials- George C. Call and A. B.

The convention will be held January 9 and 1 and It Is expected that It will be attended by 2,000 to 3,000 people. The convention grows out of a suggestion of Governor Cummins In an address before the Commercial club of Sioux City some weeks ago when he was In Sioux City to address the Nortti western Iowa Teachers' association. Following his suggestion that the upper Missouri be developed and that Sioux City take the Initiative a committee was appointed to take the matter up. Two of the members of this committee came to Des Moines today to see Governor Cum mins and to get him to Join with them In extending the invitation to the governors of the other states bordering the upper Missouri river. The committee has received assurances from Kansas City and Omaha people and others Interested In the development of the Missouri thst they will co-operate In every way possible and will send dele gates.

The decision of the American Press Hu morists' association to rear a monument to the memory of Bill Nye at Laramie la hailed by Bill Barlow, the sagebrush Phil osopher of Douglas, Wyo., as a deserved tribute to the memory of the lamented laughmaker. The two Bills shopped to gether In Laramie In the days of the Boomerang, and the living Bill writes about them In the November number of Sagebrush Philosophy, Among other things, he says: "It was my good fortune to know Nye the jman, and Nye the Inimitable one and tne same, ot course; mil perore ana arter He came to Laramie as "a Is wyer which waa no crime at that time because most of us In the then territory were traveling under assumed names and Ilka Imped! menta and to question a passport waa neither polite nor politic although, some how. It got out on him after a while that it wasn't really so. I recall now thst my acquaintance with him began with the dis covery that he combined rare leisure with natural Inclination to absorb and shed news. I was doing what I then thought waa 'city on the old Laramlo Times, and after allowing a few hours fcr early side walk assimilation, could always count on him for a column. Eventually he got a Job as associate editor on the Sentinel, estenslble and actual weekly publication of the time, from which he was later fired by the far-seeing proprietor aa a colossal failure cause for which Is probsbly found In Fill's own admission thst he was "too cussed lay to make either a decent loafer or liar.' But he had married meantlrne fis men will.' and as seems artistic tem perament must and under compelling stress of material needs, and threatening paternity, Nye did his first resl literary work. "Bill Root didn't make Bill Nye, but the old-time Laramlelte still Insists that It was of Root's large and often salselnus fund of bar room stor'es that a humorist was born. Anyway It waa one of this village nrer-d-i-weel's tsles with which Nye set a rew star In the literary firmament rebuilt and adorned In rambling architecture and gT tesqive creation until all was new save the cornerstone, but still recognized by 'w boys aa one of Root's best. The Denver Tribune, to whom It wss submitted, wanted more of the same, to which ap peal which was aoeompsnled by a more than welcome check Nye responded with another borrowed but Idealized burlesque and his fortune wss made. Nye's na tional reputation, however, may be said to have been founded on his work while running the Boomerang established In 1W1 by .local admirers with desire for a party organ and to boost their friend Bill of which I spotted the local page and on occasion his own during the years he filled the editorial chair. Though an obscure country da'ly It was soon quoted every wrere: the weekly edition Jumped from ten hundred to ten thousand, and ere long the eastern press woke up to the fact that there was really something doing In humor out In Wyoming. Nye's Tribune story was written about the time the Ttoomerang waa born, and he contributed to Its columns as a side line for quite a while; but ere long came requests from the Salt Lake Tribune and The Omaha Bee, as I well re member, followed by the Rurllngton Hawk eye, the Denver News, Texas Slftlngs, Peck's Sun and the entire contingent of lhen going rlb-tlcklers. About this time, too, he compiled his earlier work In two books under the titles of 'Bill Nye and Boomerang' and 'Balled Hay," which found ready sale In every blbllological mu seum and livery stable In the land. And then he hiked hence. The lnevltalje had happened Bill Ne had outgrown, his en vironment Including his H,2"0 Job on the Boomerang. He went 'back to the states' Just where we never knew. "Thrown In his company more or less during every day of our earlier acquaint ance, and by his side through the working hours of two years after, I knew him well better, even, than my own wife thinks she knows me now I was his companion and confidant. when ha first set firm foot on the ladder of fame, and watched him climb until lost In the clouds. To attempt to review or discuss here the product of his marvelously creative mind Is not my purpose only to tell something of who and what the man really was. Edgar Wilson Nye wss neither preacher, professor nor poser. His profanity was as Joyous and musical os the gluck-gluck of moonshine getting away from a South Carolina Jug and Indulged In, always, with all due re spect to Deity. He never aped the come- nlong-yei ot an educational court of last resort; never claimed to have read and understood Browning, nor to have anony mously edited the Brlttanlca. And he was modesty personified. I remember when he made hla flfst appearance as a humorist out In the open when the b'g world flrFt paid public tribute to him as a writer. It was at Denver, where he was the an nounced guest of honor at a hlt-an-sup given by the newspaper boys. Gene Field, who was then tinting a column of non parlel on the Trlb., presided, and with Mm were such master minds as O. H. Rothaker and Will Vlsscher and a lot of lesser rogues and roystercrs whose names I cannot now recall and many of whom, alas, are not with us now. Along with his other wondrous gifts. Field was a prince of the royal blood of entertainers and all were young then and damphool reformers hadnt yet thought of employ ing definition and application of the word lid. I believe It was Rothaker who handed out the oratorical orchids, and he could peddle mlirnonette until you could smell It a mile and In the nature of response to his welcome Nye arose to the toast of 'Wyoming.' He never could talk, even at table It was always what he said, rather than how. But though a stranger to all yet they knew his genius, and were naturally prepared for something good the which they got. With melancholy mien and a face that would skid a funeral Nye began Jn slow and unvarying voice to read a lot of dry-farmer and mineral-mad sta tistics from a printed page comprising our area In square miles, chsracter of the soli. Irrigation possibilities, coal, oil and other resources, and a dump of meteorological data and like Immigration sucker-Junk. The company listened at first In respect ful silence; but when the real humor of the 'response' dawned on them well there was a noise like raising a roof. But, though toasted and eulogised and enter-' tatned to the limit. Bill's head never swelled a little bit. then or after, that I ever learned. And he was as gentle In msnner aa a well-bred woman, and as kindly snd considerate. During all the years I knew him he never learned what money was worth, and that the problem was one he simply couldn't solve Is proven by the fact that although his newspaper and book work brought him In la"rge reve nue yet he died broke. The dollar, with Nye as with too many of us whose noses persistently press the emery of creative ex pressionwas merely a detail. "Nye's talent waa both natural and ac quired if I am permitted In that much of his humor was coined from manner of ex pression and much from the suggestion of words and phrases and Ideas of others. It wasnt that Bill Root's stories made him famous or that he was copyist or plagiarist In any sense. His was s style of Its own his pencil a magic wand with which every day happenings and current comment were transfigured In Joyous fun his mind a riot ous storehouse of wit and humor In ludic rous and grotesque thought and expression. He It was who found and who developed a new road to honest laughter. Up to that time American humor was largely a monologue of simplified spelling, the bois terous blllygoat, the obstreperous stove pipe and the ever-present mother-in-law and her Ilk. Nye quit this dusty thorough fare and hewed a path Into a then wilder ness outlined x a humor which appeals to the Intellect rather than the funnvbone and the fifth rib the which Is now, let us confess, though we get the gaff of Implied Imitation, a broad and much travelled highway. "Nye wrote much good stuff and as Is true of almost every Towser on the liter ary treadmill, some that waa real rotten. That he knew this Is evidenced by a letter to a friend which I saw the other day. This friend had remonstrated with him on the loose character of some of his work, and had urged him to refra'n from sending out that which belittled the talent he knew him to possess. Nye's reply was charac teristic He said: " 'My Dear Hennery: The article you complain of Is even worse than you think But I say 1t without shame. The pub Ushers, you see, Ins'st aye, command me to stand and deliver and I shall furnish It In quantity regardless of analysts Just to long as I am compelled to look the flour barrel.
