Show I TALKS WITH TRAVELERS Joe Eisenmann of Lincoln Nov arrived ar-rived from the south yesterday with 500 head of cattle in transit to the Omaha market Mr Eisenmann is i stopping at the Cullen and In conversation yesterday yes-terday said I Is GO dry In Lincoln county that even the mountain springs show signs of failing and where three years ago there were many thousands I of head of stock in the county there are today only 3000 head and that too In a county Including WOO square miles There Is not a sheep In the county and unless there is 1 some precipitation pre-cipitation this winter and early spring all tho remaining cattle will have to be driven out This of course applies only to the ranges In the valleys there is water and very fertile farming lands as II Pahranganale and Muddy River valleys where the farmers are doing well The scarcity of ater does not affect our mines however In the easter part of the county the prospects for the galena mines are highly encouraging as some of the richest lead ore in the country comes fiom that part of Nevada Then at the Do La Mar mines a great deal Is being done There Is I less trouble with the dust at the mill than previously as the company is doing all in its power to remedy the evil Dustconsuming apparatus ap-paratus hag been put In and the men wear respirators I wi be a mighty good thing for our part of the State when a railroad i l is run through It I I was obliged to drive my cattle 100 miles to reach the cars the drive being in two hitches one of forty and one of sixty miles each without water or feed a I wish the State press would stand I wIth tho stockmen in the matter of leasing the reservation lands to Swift I Co of Chicago said Hon J W Clyde of Heber at the Cullen yesterday All the Interest the big meat packers will have is to feed all the sheep and cattle they can on the lands during the five years lease they will get and for a certainty the hinds tiil bema be-ma l utterly barren and worthless at time end of that line For this however how-ever the packers will care nothing Sheep only eat up and wear out a 1 pasture where they are herded in great numbers on a limited area and this is what will be done by the proposed Chicago Chi-cago lessees Moreover their occupation occupa-tion of the territory means the shutting shut-ting out of all small owners in a large area of the State for the lands In question ques-tion are used by a good many growers as a suinmei range The question will then be where are our citizens owning sheep to keep them during the summer sum-mer The occupancy by i the outside growers would ruin many a Utah grower As to conditions In Wasatch county Ills very dry there and the wheeling Is about the same as In regularly dry weather If we do not have any snow it win go hard with us next summer Fortunately so much snow fell lastwin tel that the springs wore filled up full nnd indications are that tho excess was such that it will last over through I the coming season That will be a I i great help to the country and pull us out of a bad hole We specially need water to help out our hay crop for Wa I I satch county is a great hay country S a S I There is a taste for tho classic drama I dra-ma In this country all reports to the I contrary notwithstanding said George Blchs of the Nance ONell Dramatic I company yesterday at the Ken on I me reason why there has been a fall i nig away In times mist from the iegitl mute highclass drama was because of thc scarcity of talent necessary to properly pro-perly present IL In the high draniatlc an ns In Other lines of action If any high and great conception is I presented 5by pOOrOl mediocre talent that special form ott activity necessarily falls Into disrepute But let the same be given by minds capable ° C rIsing 10 the dC mands or time 3ltu9 ° n and there Is an entirely different story stor > to tell l No Edwin Booth can hardly l l6e onii called the greatest exponent of the classic dmma though In special phases I or features or It he Was entimely unsur JmLSSCIl Edwin FOITCst had I greater I ndlvldua force han t 1 i3eolli buf then t in general biHtrlonic ftlfmtv loth wire I so near alike that the one

In the Shakespearean drama It was a pleasure and a matter of instruction in-struction to witness her especially In Lady Macbeth E L Davenport was a great actor but his versatility waa a hindrance rather than a help to him I In the long run because he was a comedian as well as an actor of the classic drama But he showed up to Immenso advantage in Shakespearean characters hose peculiarities were best suited to his special temperament His wife was a fine actress and the daughter Fanny who died not long ago took more from her mother than rom her father Salvini Barrett Le vick and Bangs were strong exponents of the legitimate classic drama and there have been and will gbntinue to be worthy successors to these Tho fact that this form of the art has not lost its hold on the publio may be illustrated illus-trated In the fact that I have been able to remain In It up to my present age C3 and I dont feel particularly old yctl There Is a lot of smuggling going on over the Canadian border said E H Sparrell of Pony Mont yesterday at the White house The Canadian Go ernment has mounted police patrolling all along the line but in such a rough mountainous country not much can be expected of them The United States makes an attempt to guard the border also but in this case It is a good deal on the playhorse order Whisky Is smuggled over from this country and opium and often Chinamen are smuggled smug-gled back Smuggling is a regular business busi-ness and Is more extensively carried on at the northern boundary line than along the Mexican border because of the much greater length of the Canadian Cana-dian line There are no more systematized raids of outlaws In Montana as the State Is being too thickly settled up for any such thing to remain on deck any length of time Montana is so well settled now that the days of the cattle cat-tle kings are ended and it will not belong be-long before range stock will be largely a thing of the past and cattle will be pastured In summer and fed In winter Just as cattlii In the East are The Milk River valley which Is 100 miles long is turning out to be a magnificent country coun-try and there is a good rush of settlers into that section of the State I believe be-lieve the Milk River valley will yet become be-come one of the most fertile and valuable valua-ble sections in the United States T O St Louis people will yet be glad that the Chicago drainage canal is built said Capt H O Rose of Michigan at the Manitou yesterday Experience Is already showing with by no means a full flow of the stream in the canal that the water is perfectly clear by the time it reaches the Mississippi river The canal will prove the making of Chicago and Inside of ten years Chicago Chica-go will have outstripped Greater New YorRVand be time largest city in the world There must be considerable dredging in the channels of the Desplaines find Illnois rivers before the streams can be used for commercial purposes and the Government will have to attend to this rather than the State of Illinois |
