Until American cotton was introduced
by Gen. Kaufman. viceroy of Turkestan,
In the eighties silk was the most ancient
as well as the most important industry In
Turkestan. The value Of the silk worm
was discovered in China, and the process
of utilizing II was invented there in pre-

silk culture has been the most lucrative
and the chief occupation of the people.
The climate OF Central Asia is, In the

ALDERMAN
IS HIGHLY
INDIGNANT
Councilman Art Schultz Ac-
cuses Member of Board of
Public Works of Using
Personal Ends to Defeat
His Theater Project.

Councilman Arthur Schultz is author
aty for the statement that a $4,000 i'm
provement is blocked by the hostile at
titude OF Jacob Schloer and another
member of the board of public works.
Some time ago Mr.. Peter Schultz an
nounced that he would build s40,0
theater building, three stories high, on
East State street on the property that
is now occupied by a number of wood
shacks.
Before the building can be con-
structed 1t is necessary that the old
buildings be moved from the premises
According to Schultz. the opposition to
the moving of this building has it's ori-
gin in the feud that exists between
Hugo Freels. the man who will occupy
the new Schultz theater, and William
Craick. who now runs the Bijou thea
ter.
According to Schultz. Jacob SchIoer, a
member of the board OF public works. is
Cracks fatherin-law and is doing all
he can to prevent the moving of the
old buildings so that the construction
OF the new theater will be delayed.
VIII Not Grant Permit.
Arthur Schultz claims that his mother
has been to the members of the board
OF public works on several occasions to
get permission to move the buildings.
and while they do not refuse to issue
the permit they have delayed the mat
ter so long that the whole project is en-
dangered.
Schultz desires to move the house In
which he is now living to the lot near
by for period of sixty days, so that
he can have time to find a new location
for IL.
While this lot is in tae fire limits.
ne believes that in the interests Of
State street and in the interests of hav
Ing a $4,000 Improvement made the
board should grant the request
