Our county commissioners are con
siderably perplexed as to how to act in
regard to the Russian thistle law. They
seem to regard the law as impractical
and injurious, as it virtually means a
confiscation of the lands of non-residents.
They also realize that it will mean a
great loss in taxes, as probably no one
will buy a tax title who cannot be on
hand to keep down the thistle after the
land has been so purchased. The road
overseers and their bondsmen are al3o
placed in a peculiar position. If the
yeed is allowed to grow in any road die
tricfc'tbe overseers are liable to a fine.

finished this fajijv Granting that this
land was all under cultivation, and that
the revenue denied from the products
be placed at the low average of fifteen
dollars per acre, the yearly value of the
products raised within this irrigated
section would be. $7,500,000.
These may seem fanciful figures, yet
if these lands were brought under a
state of intense cultivation, the estimate
would be too low instead of too high.
But to obtain these results the people
of North Platte and the irrigated dis
trict must, in" the language of the street
gamin, "get a move on them." The at
tention of well-to-do farmers in the
eastern states must be called to the ad
vantages possessed by this irrigated
district. We mlist not wait for them
to gain this Information hy the ordinary
slow-going methods of disseminating in
formation. We must be active in
many ways by individual efforts and
by united efforts. The Lincoln county
immigration association is an association
which can accomplish much good, but
unfortunately tho work has so far been
borne by a very few individuals. -They
have continuously solicited the assist
ance of our citizens generally but the
needed help has not been given.
The lack in some instances has been
due to selfish motives some man thinks
that some other fellow will make more
money than he, and he therefore declines
to put his shoulder to the wheel. This
selfishness is a detriment to the success
of any citizen. When a wave- of pros
perity rolls over a community all is bene
fitted; the man who .does not get his
"finger in the piei'lis one who is not de
serving of success." -r
Real estate values 'm North Platte
were never so lowras at present. Prop
erty can not bs Jsold at two-thirds its
true valuation, and unless we bestir our
selves and assist "in developing the hidden-wealth
of the section contiguous to
our city, these values will further de
cline. Every home owner, no matter
now humble his holdings,' will be bene
fitted by the settling up of this naturally
rich country.
Were all this land under cultivation
the shipment of products from the sev
eral railroad stations in the county would
exceed those of any county in the state,
and many additional train crews would
be needed on the Union Pacific. It
would also indirectly result in an in
creased pay-roll in the local Union Pa
cific shops.
Let us therefore make a united effort
to gain results from the advantages a
beneficient nature has given us. Let us
join hands with the immigration associa
tion or any other organization that
may be effected and secure tdlers for
our inexhaustible and rich soil, to the
end that farmer, business man, artizan
and laborer may reap a reward.
Now is the accepted time to do the
work. We must get people to visit this
section, and after once seeing it they
