The San Francisco call., 1908-12-20


Maude Adams engagement under
Stockweu was when he was associat-
ed with Osbourne & WaHenrod and after
Stockwell had left the Alcazar to open
the Stoekwell theater. Still another
great actress developed under Stock
wells notice. She was Blanche Bates.
A one act sketch it was that Blanche
Bates appeared in for the first time on
any stage. She was a school teacher
then, but she had an inheritance of
mind and tendency from her father
and her mother that made the stage
her normal home. But Blanche Bates
never had to learn how to act, accord
ing to Stockwell;s she was a player
from the moment her feet pressed the
stage. In q few bounds she reached
point where she was star. Stock
well promoted her as rapidly as he
could. but a contract with another
player made it impossible for her to
become leading woman of the Stock
well forces. Then Mckee Rankin
opened up at the AlcaZar and took
Blanche away. That was in 1893. THE
relations between Blanche Bates and
me were always friendly, said Stock
we'll Indeed, it was i who advised
her to go over to the opposition, be-

There is a. pretty and sentimental
little story running through the sketch

story is told in the play, and the ex-

the masters of full barns and cribs and substantial
aims after couple of years Of crop shortage. The
strongest impression that the East has of the West
an impression of instability. of happy go lucky
mprovidence-survivesf from those days of distress
And the distress was very real too while it lasted.
Something of the change may be roughly
pressed in figures, though these make but the
framework of the real story.
Some Startling Figures
TN 1890 the value of all farm products of the United
six million dollars. In 1900 this value had jumped
to four thousand hundred and seventeen
millions; in 1905 to six thousand four hundred and
fifteen millions; and in 1906 to round seven thou
one hundred and eighty-fve per cent In the ten
years from 1890 to 1900 the gain ninety zone per
mentioned exceeded the gain of the preceding ten
years. And in these six years the gain in value of
American manufactured products was barely eighty
per cent
This gain is not to be explained by an increase in
farm area for in the ten-year period from 1890 to
1900 the cultivated improved acreage of the coun
try had increased less than sixteen per cent Nor
does the explanation lie in increased yields of prod
ucts; for in these ten years the increase in
production of corn wheat, oats, potatoes. hay and
forage crops was only twenty five per cent, while
the production of livestock showed no increase in
numbers.
The faring of the prairies in this gain is made
apparent by the fact that in these States from
Illinois to the Rocky Mountains. yielded fortyseven
per cent. in value of the nations farm products
And that does not tell it ALL for the prares the
gain in farm values of products in proportion to
their volume, has far exceeded the gain elsewhere
1t is not to be forgotten that hardly more than a
dozen years ago Nebraska was being used on
the mid State farms for kitchen fuel.
There is the vital point in the statistics of the
case: While the volume of prairie crop production
shows substantial increase, the measure of the
growers prosperity does not lie in the bulk of his
harvests, but in the value of every bushel
Once it quite true that the farmers net loss was
greatest in those years when his acreage and his
harvest greatest. That is not true now
Profit taking in western farming is longer a
stroke of luck it is the established order of things
The soundness of the farmers case appears clearly
in the appreciation of farm land values The
average value of Nebraska farms is given
thrty-one dollars and seventy-three cents an acre.
advance of fifty-four per cent. since 1900. Nor
this increase any sense fictitious; it is almost
exactly proportoned to the increased earning
capacity of the land for the last fve-year period
In 1905 the sugar farms of the State showed an in
creased value of products to the of sxtyseve
and seven-tenths per cent, compared with re-
turns in 1900 for the period, hay and grain
farms showed gain in earnings of ffty-seven per
cent; livestock farms gain of fty-one per cent;

The literary" productions with

sumed author, and strangely Tor at
least strange to me- the writer hereof
was asked whether he did not inteno

the only thing that annoyed me was
that anyone acquainted with my liter
ary efforts would imagine my connec-
ton with subject that brings wildly

say: we are living in growing town;

John S. Lewis Passes Away.

John S. Lewis is dead and buried;
good citizen has left us; his genial
spirit has taken its fight to the scenes
of the great beyond and we shall see
him no more until we are called by the
grim reaper to pass to the land OF
shadows beyond the river which divides
the living from the dead.
Brother Lewis came to his death in
the following manner: On Thursday,
Sept. 10 he went to Provo to procure
load of ice which he wished to use in
the refrigerator in his shop, and while
he and others were loading the ice, he
fell from his wagon and struck his
head on steel rail, the ice being in
box car on the rail road track. His
head was badly cut, but he rallied at
once and went to the home of an ac-
quaintance, where his wound was
washed and bound up and he started
for home, driving his own team. His
friend sent phone message to his
family here and his wife and son went
and met him at Springville with horse
and buggy and he was brought home.
Just as he reached here he became
unconscious, from which state he never
rallied. DIR. A. G.. Stoddard was sent
for and dressed the wound. Loving
friends were at his bed side through
that long and dreary night, watching
and praying and hoping against hope
that he might be spared to them, but
at 1890 Friday morning he passed
away, leaving grief stricken family to
mourn his loss.
On Sunday the 18th, funeral services
were held oyer the remains of Brother
Lewis at the city pavilion. There were
probably 1900 people present to show
their respects to the deceased. Bishop
Hales of the Third ward presided.
The choir sang from page 2S. The
opening prayer was offered by Brother
VIM. Jex. The choir sang, "Hark,
From Altar Funeral Knell." Father
Jex and Eli b. Ferguson We're the first
speakers. The Williams Brothers and
company with Miss Mary Larsen at
the organ sang that beautiful song en-
titled, Brave heart Forever Still. "
Elder John Moore of the High Council
of Nebo Stake was the next speaker,
after whom the Williams Brothers
sang, 1T is Well, 1t is WE'LL" Elder
| Nichol Hood of Salt Lake City spoke,
followed by d. T. Lewis. Bishop
Hales made the closing remarks. The
speakers all eulogized the life ant
character of the deceased. Brother
Lewis. was born in Nebraska, July 10
1854, while his parents were coming t,
Utah. Although he was a member o.
the Mormon church he was not an ag
gressive member but OF the contrar,
he conceded the right of opinion to all

He leaves a wife, sons and 2 daugh
