He owns eight hundred acres and has it well im proved. Will says he has made two starts in this country, but he is going to stay now, as he has ail he needs, but when he came here he had a wife, three children and $2.50 and had to borrow the money to file on his claim. He tells us about hauling wood from Pine Ridire. cutting it into stove lengths and then hauling it to Alii ance to sell to ret provisions with. He says this is the best place to make money that he knows anything about. Ira Roland came here an infant in arms thirty-seven years ago.

The First National Bank Frank Krul came to this county three years ago and bought three nun dred and twenty acres of (rood land, but just moved out this spring from Custer county. He Kays that he likes this country better than his former location, for one can produce more dollars per acre and farm more land. Frank has ninety-five acres of spuds and nine acres of oats. Joe Krul came 'here from Custer county three years ago and owns three hundred and twenty acres and thinks that this country is much bet ter for a poor man to get a start in than farther east. He says one can buy land cheaper and produce more to the acre here than farther east on high-priced land. Joe has fifty acres of wheat, ten or oats, thirty or corn and forty-two of spuds. C. L. Hardy came here from Iowa two years ago, but for the last ten months he has been operating the City cafe in Hemingford and seems to do a good business. We do know that he serves good food, for we have sam pled the good food on two occasions. Anton Uhrig came here thirty-six years ago and took up the land where the city of Hemingford now stands. He practically donated the company one nundred and sixty acres of land to build on, but afterward bought the most of it back and now owns six hun dred acres just out of the city and has as fine a farm as one could wish for. He also owns fifteen hundred and sixty acres eighteen miles southwest of town. Mr. Uhrig was on the road for some time for a furniture house in St. Louis; at one time was in the harness business, and was the first man to start a store in. Box Butte county to sell hardware, harness and furniture, and continued in the busi ness for almost twenty-five years, but sold cut feme ten years ago and in vested in more land, for he says that cheap land is the best investment one can make and thinks that land here is a fine buy. Mr. Uhrig lives on the place he pre-empted in 1884. ' He was county commissioner for several years. H. J. Clipson came out here from Iowa three years ago and bought four hundred and forty acres of land two miles east of Hemingford and rented it, but this spring he came out to op erate it himself. When we asked him how he liked this country as compared with Iowa, he told us this story: Last year he farmed his own farm in Iowa, which he later sold for $300 per acre, and raised forty bushels of corn to the acre and sold it for 40 cents per bushel. Here, on the land he bought for 75 per acre, he raised eighty bushels of spuds per acre and sold them for 70 cents out of the field, al most four times the amount received from the $300 land. He says he can see no reason why he should not like this country better, as he can farm more land and do it easier here. He says he would not trade his land here for the same number of acresun lowa. Mr. Clipson shipped out six purebred Percheron mares when he came here that ought to do lots of good in im proving the horses in this county. Mr. Clipson has two hundred and fifteen acres of winter wheat, seventy-five of spring wheat, one hundred and fifty of spuds, fifteen of corn and fifteen of alfalfa. Frank J. Bedlivy came hee three years ago from valley county and bought three hundred and twenty acres of good land three miles east of Hemingford. He likes the country fine and says he can make more money here and do it easier than in the east. Last year he raised three thousand bushels of spuds from thirty acres and sold at from seventy-five to ninety five cents per bushel. Mr. Bedlivy has one hundred and ten acres of wheat, twenty of oats, thirty of spuds and twenty of corn. , Roy M. Page came here from Iowa three years ago and likes this country better than Iowa for several reasons. The chief one is that he can produce more per acre here and do it easier and with less labor. He has thirty acres of corn, twenty-seven of spuds and sixteen of oats. iniiiinimmmtmiiinnMtn The eastern farmer and land buyers will be with us in a short time look ing for farms, and it will be well for those having farm land to Bell, to list it for-sa:e at an early date, ine u, M.
