The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-05-07

the result was the present parlor match.
4 Machinery is now a prime factor in
match making, and the logs of pine are
| first cut by circular steam saws into 10
inch blocks, which when freed from their
bark, are again cut into the thickness OF
a match; these slabs are divided by a
| steam operated knife into seven bands,
each the length of q match The knotty
parts are then removed, and the bands.
100 at time, are fed to a machine, which
cuts them into the familiar splints.
| These are dried in drums, picked up by a
machine, and set in a dipping frame, by
means of which good workman can dip
over 8, O00, GOO matches day; they are then
dried again and packed. Look az the
lower end of the next match you use, and
| you will see the mark of the clamp.
| Bryant Chaplin of Chicopee, Mass, was
| the first man to make friction matches in
this county, and they were sold in
punches wrapped up in white paper, each
match being rolled around with the paper
separately, to prevent explosion in the
package by friction. He had q fortune
IN his grasp, but lost it by shiftiessness IN
| his business methods. He refused several
good offers for his invention, but pre-
ferred to run it in his own way, which
was to make batch of matches, go out
and sell them and return to make another
batch. If he had made them at once, all
|
wasted his money and let his customers
wait, until finally his trade iell away in
disgust, and Chaplin shot himself.
| At the present time we have thirty
match factories in this country, while
Russia has 200, and our most prominent
ones are the Portland Star. the Dirigo,
both of Name, and the great Diamond
Match company, which may be said to
have been one of the early and most sue
cessfully operated trusts. Matches were
| taxed up to q short time ago, but the USE
! full little article is now free from taxation.
| The latest invention in matches will be
put GU the market this fall by new firm
at Lebanon, Pa. 1t is parlor match,
which has q small cleft or recess which
effectually prevents the head falling off
when struck, or the ignition paste getting
under the nail and inficting q painful
and dangerous burn. l know OF case of
| this occurring some years ago on the ex-
press between Paris and Dover, and by
the time the victim reached medical aid if
shoulder to save his life. OF course his
general condition was very poor and the
blood foul, but that was the result.
With the match reaching what appears
to be its perihelion, other devices for OBJ
tanning a light come to the front. The
electric principle for Illuminating has
been introduced for cooking and the fires
OF IOcOInO6iV6 anu marine Sug1uee, anu ioi
the pocket there are various devices which
fulfill every purpose of the match salts
factorily, and but for their smell-of oil
would not have an Objectionable feature.
What the future may hold for us on the
match or other lighting device questions,
time, the great solver of all vexed prob
lens, alone can tell. 1t is, however, fairly
certain that for many years yet to come
the match will not be awarded place in
our museums as curiosity of past de-
cade.

The PittSburg Strike,

Great excitement prevailed among the
strikers last Wednesday night upon the
arrival Olive hundred colored men from
Alabama and Colorado to work in the
mines. Threats had been freely made
that they would not be permitted to
work. The mine owners had erected
stockades around their property and all
were armed with Winchesters and
determined to protect their property at
all hazards. The militia were ordered
to hold themselves in readiness but up
to Thursday evening had not been
called out. The miners have, appar-
emily, given up the idea of preventing
the employment of colored men, by
force, realizing that the effort would be
futile. Quite number OF the colored
miners are now at work in the shafts
and more expected the latter part of the
week. Fred J. Close, the governors
private secretary is on the ground and
says be does not anticipate any blood
shed and thinks the trouble can now be
easily and amicably adjusted.

KANSAS NOTES.
(Star.)

No geese have drowned in western
Kansas this year.
Wichita burglars consider themselves
in great luck if they strike anything in
the way of swag in one house out Of five.
There is so little water in the streams
of Finney county that a Garden City
man is about to try the experiment OF
Matching fish eggs under hens.
The Ness City man who found cent?
pede in pair of trousers he was about
to put on Immediately dispatched a
small boy with a half dollar and pint
bottle to the nearest drug store.
The display that the labor commits
sioner of Kansas has made of his mean
ness in relation to the Horton letter has
made every member of the Todd family
in Kansas ashamed of his name.
Kansas ranks second in increased
membership of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen in the United States
since January l. The number is 394
while Massachusetts, alone has greater
list, ALI.
The report that Governor Waite of
Colorado was formerly from Kansas re-
calls the fact that Adiutant General
Artz is from Colorado. and thus neither
state has any chance to fling mud at the
other.
There is an old bachelor living in New
ton that owns half dozen well paying
business blocks on Main street, yet he
sweeps and takes care of his living apart
ments. The old duffer has done the sex
a great favor by remaining single.
A Kansas paper tells about rattle
snake that was recently killed in Logan
county, which was ffty-two inches long,
six and half inches around the body
and which had eleven rattles. This story
ought to be stuffed and added to the
Kansas exhibit at the Worlds fair.
Since Mrs. Lease started in with the
populist movement she is said to have
cleared her farm of a considerable mort
gage, set her husband up In the drug
business. purchased city home in
Wichita, and sent all her children to ex-
pensiye schools. Mary 'Yellin" is not
in politics for her health.
SUPERINTENDENT Watson of the Arkan-
sas Land and Irrigation company has a
theory. He believes that the droughts
in western Kansas are caused by prairie
fires and that if these can be prevented
taller grass will succeed the buffalo
variety, that it will hold the water and
that the chance of obtaining crops every
year will be greatly enhanced.
A Harper county farmer who expects
to SOW 2, 300 acres of wheat this fall, has
purchased and set to work mammoth
steam pillow. 1t has six 16-inch plows,
turns strip eight feet wide at one pas
sage, requires only two men to operate
it and will pillow thirty acres day. 1t
is proposed to employ two sets of hands
and keep it running day and night.

KINNEY CREEK HAPPENINGS
KINNEY CREEK, July a5, 1893.

h1NNEfe OhEEAs % uly so 4OVos
The alliance are holding big meetings
in this neighborhood. The Kinney Greek
alliance that was notified in the Omni-
Graf so long before hand, materialized
last Thursday evening at the residence
of l. L. McGarvie. The house was
crowded with the beautiful evening air
and the big crowd of people, consisting
of about four families, all gathered to-
gether to discuss the new ballot law.
We hear they have decided to meet at
the home of three of these parties turn
about and hold their meetings, and will
not try to hold meetings in the school
house, as they have met there so often
and but few beside their once large
crowd attended. They have come there
on cold winter nights and told the peo-
pie that they were drifting away and
cried on that subject for more than an
hour at time, and told the people to
pay up their dues and help to save the
country, and after hearing three or four
LIMOGES like that we were allowed to go
home as early as one o'clock in the
morning. And after all this hard talk
ing and exposing themselves they are
going to give it out that the people OF
this vicinity are beyond redemption.

The weekly Weather-crop bulletin of
the Kansas weather service is as follows:
In general, the state has been well wa
tered. Light rains are reported from
Stanton and Grant to Sherman and
Thomas with better rains in Morton and
heavy rains with very heavy hail in
cheyenne Heavy rains from Meade to
Sheridan and eastward through the CEN
trail counties of the state. Sunshine was
excessive, while the temperature was
nearly normal The corn crop is gener-
ally in very good condition in the east
ern third of the state End in the central
counties of the middle third, while from
the northern counties of the middle
third reports are not so encouraging, as
in the western part the corn is drying
up for want of moisture, and in the east
ern part it was damaged, locally, by
hail. Threshing from the shock has
been in progress in the middle and east
ern divisions, the yield of wheat gener-
ally proving light, from 2 to 20 bushels
oats doing better, running from 10 to 60
bushels. The tame hay harvest is about
concluded with good results. Flax har-
vest in progress in the south, has begun
in the middle counties. Chinch bugs
have extended into Trego and are be-
coming quite numerous. Within the
rain area for the week, conditions are
generally favorable. -.

The Strip,

The following interview with A. P.
Swineford, lately appointed by the In
terror department to locate county lines
and county seats in the strip, has been
published in the Oklahoma papers:
''The strip is to be divided into nine
counties and the department thought it
advisable to establish four land offices.
My mission is to select the locations of
the county seats and land offices, and if
possible to have my work completed and
a report sent in before August 1. Since
my arrival here | have become impress
ed with the idea that the intended set
tiers in the eastern portions of the strip
could be as well accommodated if that
territory was attached to the Guthrie
and Kingfsher districts, which would
reduce the number of new offices to two.
However this is matter for the depart
ment to decide.
"The land offices will be located at
Woodland, near Fort Supply; Alva near
the Kansas line on the Southern Kan
sas road; Skeleton, on the Rock Island
road few miles north of the Kingfsher
line, and at Perry or Bet Rock on the
Santa Fe.
when do you think the strip will be
opened?
sit is very much desired to have the
opening take place as early as Septem-
Der L. Everything has been accom-
phshed in the way of preliminary work
with the exception of approving the sew
enty-one allotments and that which /
am detailed to perform.
"The proclamation opening the coun-
try to settlement has been written and
is now in Commissioner Lameroux'
hands awaiting for the description of the
land to be incorporated therein and the
additional reservations for school pur-
poses. should any be decided upon..''

MIDWAY, July 26, 1898.
Another good rain last night.
J. D. Briggs is enlarging his stable.
The general question now is-how will
we get seed wheat?
W. F. Stranahan and wife went to the

Mrs. Burns is having an addition
built to her house. F. Spena and w. F.
Stranahan are doing the work.
Mr. and Mrs. W. Olson, of Wa-Kee-
ney, Mr.. and Mrs. L. Larson and daugh-
ter, of Collyer, visited at w. F. Strana-

We are sorry to hear of the failure of
L. A. Fisher. He has been the leading
merchant at Collyer since the first set
Element of this section, and has stood by
the settlers through all the discouraging
times. 1t is earnestly hoped that he
will be able to resume business in the
near future. JACK.

succeed himself.

On motion it was decided to have an
eight months term of school.
The directors asked to be instructed
whether four teachers should be en-
ployed or only three. It was the sense
of the meeting that the directors should
use their best judgment in the matter.
On the question whether male or fe-
male teachers should be employed, the
meeting also refused to instruct.
