shoemakers once We're Wen PAID.

Shoemakers Once Were Well Paid.
Thirty years ago. when all shoes
were made by hand, the shoemaker
earned a fair salary of from S12 to
s16 per week Every shoe shop had
from FIVE to ten shoemakers working.
Shoes and boots cost from IS to SIS.
and they received much more repair
ing than do the shoes of to-day. Now
girls are working in the factories and
hundreds of good shoemakers are look
ing for something to eat Over half
of the shoemakers who formerly
worked in the shops are working at
other lines of business, and making
more money.
A journeyman cobbler seldom makes
more than SIS or SO per week.
One may wonder why it is that the
cobbler nearly always finds mean.
dirty hole to crawl into and TO call
it a repair shop. The fact is, he can
not afford to pay much rent. In the
average shoe shop in the good seasons
spring and summer-he can do 81
worth of repairing a day and not
more than Sc if he works in the night
time Four dollars per day and six
days a week make $24 per week.

spreading blanket on the ground
and sleeping outdoors if the hotels
have no room, The food question is
being solved with many tent restau-
rants. Many of the travellers will
have their own camp kits along and
many will travel in their own con

Transportation for the thousands
is being rapidly solved. The Den
yer and Rio Grande railroad, the
route available to all the reservation
points and to the edge of the reser-
walton, will carry the homeseekers to

railroad, built by a gilsonite mining
company, will carry passengers to
within short distance and a new

line, a marvel in railroading and the

and this post will be continued after
the opening. At this time there
are two companies of infantry and
three troops of cavalry stationed al

supposed to lie deposits of other min
erals, the precious metals, but the linn
itations of prospecting have SO far pre-
vented the vein hunters from establish
ing this fact.
OF the area 100000 acres have
been placed in permanent forest re-
serve which guards the timber, but
does not stop the mine hunters; $780,
900 acres have been reserved for the
Indians to Craze their herds, 3,s40
acres have been taken for the Fort
Duchesne military reservation, 10000
severalty; this leaves open to settle
ment of the whites 100000 acres. Of
this latter three-fourths is practically
valueless, but the other fourth is to be
ranked as choice, highly desirable val
ley lands, susceptible 10 irrigation and
of making farms that in few years
will class with the highest priced lands
of the western irrigated world.
Irrigation Necessary.
All this means that some 1000 heads
of families are to draw the prizes Of
the reservation at the opening, August
%. These 1000 farms, at the proper
ton maintaining in the opened irri-
gated sections of Utah and Colorado,
will in a few years support a popula-
ton of $4,000 through farming alone
and as the years go by and the farms
are cut down from $50 to eighty, then
to forty and to the twenty and ten-acre
tracts of the beet raiser and fruit
grower, this population will multiply
until hundreds of thousands will be liv-
ing at the end Of a generation in the
section that until now has served only
as the gentling corral of the once in
trepid and scalp hunting Ute.
There is little of the early day pio-
neer's privation, patience and hard
ship in combating stubborn earth
requisite in the task of opening one of
these irrigable valleys. The ground
requires no clearing; nature las kept
it clear of harassing growths. On the
building of ditch to apply water to
the seeded land the response is prompt
and in quantity that means ample re-
ward for the labor entailed. The soil
is rich. For ages it has been accumu-
lating the elements that grow plants
and the plants to exhaust it would not
grow because the rainfall is never
more than half the amount that in the
non-irrigated sections must fail to ma
ture the crop.
The Richest Prize.
