At lU'lntcd to Future of City
and ( "oiintry
(By John W. Thomas)
What about th future of Alliance
and Box Butte county? For many
years Alliance has been the leading
city of northwestern Nebraska and
our slater village of Ilcmingford, sur
rounded by a fine agricultural coun
try, has been well termed "The best
town of Its sire In the state."
A number of things have combined
to place Alliance In the lead ol
neighboring towns. Being centrally
located to a large and prosperous
ranch country; being a railroad town,
with machine shore a main line div
ision point, the terminus of an Im
portant branch; and with fine trans
portation facilities, it Is not at all
surprising that she has forged ahead
of her rivals. But will she be able
to hold her lead?
Let us look around: And when we
speak of looking around we naturally
turn our eyes towards the North
Platte river and turning It onto the
adjacent land has changed an almost
barren country to a veritable garden
and caused the desert to blossom as
the rose. Valuable crops, requiring
many people to handle them, are be
ing grown where formerly there were
no cultivated crops and only a few
people resided. The North Platte
valley has already become famous as
the "American Valley of the Nile."
Towns have sprung up and are forg
ing to the front in such a manner
that It behooveB Alliance to look well
to her laurels as the metropolis of
western Nebraska.
Is it possible to develop Box Butte
county sufficiently to support a pop
ulation as large as the counties cross
ed by the North Platte river? Yes.
How?
For a year or more past there has
been a good deal of talk concerning
irrigating In this county by the use
of centrifugal pumps. The table
land of western Nebraska Is im
mensely fertile. It Is conceded that,
with plenty of water, It is generally
more fertile than the valley land of
this section. It Is hard to conjecture
what amount of stuff might be rais
ed In a table land county, such as
Box Butte, with ample irrigation.
But there are some difficulties in the
way of pump irrigation that must be
overcome before it can be made an
assured success, so let us leave irri
gation out of our consideration of
this subject for the present and look
at something that we know Is easily
within reach.
With less than two per cent of the
tillable land of Box Butte county
planted to potatoes last year, there
was grown, without Irrigation, a
third or a million dollars worth of
spuds, about one-sixth or one-seventh
of the value of the great sugar beet
crop of the North Platte valley in
Scotts Bluff and Morrill counties, Ne
braska, and Goshen county, Wyom
ing, grown under the expense of Ir
rigation. Dollar for dollar, there
was much more profit to the potato
growers of Box Butte county than to
the beet growers of the North Platte
valley.
Suppose that Instead of a little
more than 5,000 acres of Box Butte
county land having been planted to
potatoes, there had been 35,000
acres planted, which is less than one
tenth of the county, the value of the
crop would have equalled or exceed
ed the value of the sugar beet crop
of any Nebraska or Wyoming county,
and the expense of growing and
handling would have been much
less. Suppose that one-fifth or one
fourth of the land of Box Butte coun
ty had been planted to potatoes, the
value of the crop would have run
away up into the millions of dollars.
The above is not merely a day
dream. The proposition Is possible
and probable of realization in the
years to come. The one thing that
the potato growers of this county
have had to fear more than anything
else is low prlceB. It has been dem
onstrated that with the right kind of
seed and under the' proper cultiva
tion a fair to good crop is assured,
but occasionally the price has gone
down to a point that has made the
growing of potatoes unsatisfactory.
But the spectre of low prices can be
banished, and the work that is being
done thru the Box Butte County
Farmers Association and by the
county agricultural agent is making
a good start in that direction.
Box Butte county potatoes have a
reputation that makes a strong de
mand for them and secures a price
somewhat above the market price for
other potatoes. By proper selection
of seed. Improving irethods of culti
vation and a better system for mar
keting, the demand for potatoes
grown in this county can be increased
until there will no longer be danger
of prices dropping so low as to make
the crop unprofitable.
We have no means of knowing
what the price of potatoes will be a
year from now or what kind of a crop
will be grown the coming season, but
we are of the opinion that the Box
Butte county farmer who selects the
right kind of seed, and properly
plants and cultivates bis crop will
have a good yield, and that by co-operation
the farmers of this county
will be able to secur- pricos that will
make them a good rnt.
Our advice tc Mox Butte county
farmers Is o Joli. the Box nutte

FOR LAND COMMISSIONER
(iordon .N-wmiint Mun File for
pnblk-an Noniliuif Km for Mate
I .and 'ominlHiomar
The Lincoln Htate Journal of Feb
ruary 27 has the following to say re
garding Joe V. Leedom. well knoWB
(ionloii newspaper man:
Joe W. Leedom, editor of the OttT
don Journal, has announced his can
didacy for the noiuniation to the of'
flee of commissioner of public land
and buildings, subject to the will at
the republican voters at the April
primary.
Mr. Leedom's newspaper says of
his candidacy: "Mr. Leedom was
born In Nebraska and has spent moat
of his time in the state. For a tlrasr
he resided In Iowa and in South Dsn
kota, but for twenty-six years he ha4
been a resident of his native stats.
Regarding his qualifications for taa
office, It 111 behooves him to put thaa
very strongly. Helng raised In thai
great school of education, the coun
try print shop, he baa been forced ta
keep abreast of the public In matter
political and those things that relatsr
to the various state officers.
"The time Is past, he feels, whs
It takes gray hairs to denote an in
sight Into public affairs, for with ttst
many advantages the younger geneiw
atlon have in the way of securing ed
ucations, there la no reason way
young m n should not aspire to posi
tions at an age that a few years ag
would have been considered meat
childhood. A high school educatloa,
secured In the public schools of Os
mond, Neb., have been supplement?
by study in the state university at
Nebraska and Mornlngside college a
Sioux City, where considerable Mm
spent In the study of politics, econo
mics and public speaking.
"Mr. Leedom believes that whl&
there are many men who may fctr
more fitted for this position, yet ttst
fact remains that a western Nebras
ka man Is much better qualified to ftM
this position than one who resides im
the eastern part of the state, for ths)
great body of public lands lay In that
section."
For a Bilious Attack
When you have a severe headacha,
accompanied by a coated tongue,
loathing of food, constipation, torpiC
liver, vomiting of partly digested
food and then bile, you may know
that you have a severe bilious attack.
While you may be quite sick there ifl
much consolation in knowing that re
lief may be had by taking three of

prompt and effectual. Obtainable er
