County Treasurer Scharmanu is re
quired by law to use every means
to collect delinquent taxes and to

this will probably result in the

It is certainly encouraging to
learn that the irrigation tarmer of
the county are growing more in

ot tuiar beetB and aathe season ap
proaches the proposed acreage in

labor to produce beets, but the re
turns certainly pay bigbetter than
a wheat or corn crop, at the average

duces one hundred thousand" tons
of beets annually no county in the
slate will he more prosperous.
A few ol the biiBin csh men are
feeling somewhat "sore" over the
removal of the MMollice. claiming
that it will lose them business,
while property owners north of
Sivth street think it will depreciate
the value of their property. We
are ot the opinion, however,
that these people are unduly
aliitined. The business hotit-cs in
this ueighurhood of Sixth and
Dewey streets are of too much
ptoniiuence to be ailected by a post

patronize those houses will con

It is not probable that very many

c,ounty this spring, the general
opinion being that the number now
Held is about all the pasturage will
maintain. In several sections ot
the county the land haa been bo
closely pastured during the past
two or three years that the grasB
crop has become very light antl it
therefore requires a larger acreage
to maintain a certain sizpd herd
than formerly. Instead of expert
tnenting with the proposed for
i itratton of the sandhills of western
Nebraska, the government should
apply its energies to securing
j;rass seeds that will grow in the
hcmi-arid country and distribute
t'letn tree to stockmen so that the
bills that are now so nearly bare of
vegetation could be sowed to grass
and yield abundant pasturage.
It ia said that the enforcement of
the drinking order by tho Union
Pacific has seriously diminished
i tie receipts of the local saloon,
and that possibly only three
I -censes will be applied for on the
lirBt of May. At first it seemed to
be considered that the Union Paci
ic order was but a "bug-bear" and
.hat its enforcement would in time
ease. This, however, is a mis
take. From a reliable source we
learn that it ia the intention to
igidly enforce the order. The
rders to division ofhcials is to
summarily discharge employes wh
trcqueut saloons or are found in an
intoxicated condition and that no
ittempt will be made to "white
'vash" any employe who disobeys
he rule laid down by the company.
Those guilty will not be suspended,
'hey will be discharged.

RAILROAD NOTES,
U. A. Huckitigham. a Fourth
district conductor, was the guest
of friends in town Saturday.
Conductor P. W O'Drien spent
Sunday with his family in Council
Bluffs.
A gang of paintera were here
yesterday repainting the switch
targets in the yards.
L. C. Hansen, late conductor on
the Second district, was in town
Sunday enroutc to Denver to look
up a position.
Frank Bretzer was in Sidney
Friday running the switch engine
while Andy Struthers laid off to
celebrate his twentieth wedding
an niversary.
Special Agent Jake Miller has
been so successful in arresting coal
rustlers on the western district
that he haB been transferred to the
eastern district to do similar duty.
The Union Pacific Board of Ex
aminers will reach Grand Island to
morrow where they will devote a
week or two to examining em
ployes on the new book of rules.
They will then come' here.
Asst. Supt. Ware will pay off
employes between Cheyenne and
Sidney tomorrow and then will
probably go oyer to Alliance to at
tend the meeting of the stock
growers.
Division Foreman Stubbs and
Assistant Supt. Ware went to
Cheyenne yesterday to attend a
conference of railroad employes on
the important subject of hot boxes.
The conference is held by a call of
division master mechanic McKeeu.
Harry Moore has resigned the
position of night ticket agent and
is succeeded by Cliaa. Newman,
who has been the night car
checker. W.il'ie Doran of Sidney
takes the position of night car
checker. Moore will probably go
to ClieyeUnc to accept a position.
A new Union Pacific night coal
watchman was sworn in the other
day and he has been making it ex
ceedingly warm for coal rustlers,
-tx or eight having had warranU
issued against them duitig the past
lour days. The tellows who don't
think it is a crime to steal from a
railroad company will find it
cheaper in the end to buy their
coal.
