District Court Clerk Phillips and his
deputyW. 0. Bond , have a scheme that
will effectually do away with the hot
winds. As it is somewhat complicated
we prefer to let them publish the de
tails. We will say , however , that it is
more original than VanDoren's elevated
pipe line system.
It may be a wild and visionary idea ,
and it may be a great injustice to the
wise , philanthropic , truthful and God
fearing editors of the Bee , Journal and
World-Herald to say that all the fuss
and confident assertions that Eastern
Nebraska is able and willing to take
care of the drouth-sufferers is but a huge
scheme to advertise the eastern part of
the state ; yet in the light of the fact
that these papers have not tried to deny
reports that have gone out as to the
condition of the western counties , but
have united to make p'rominent the one
idea of the inexhaustible resources of
Omaha and Lincoln and of the eastern
part of the statewe sometimes think so. ;

NEW SETTLERS FOR NEBRASKA.
Two or three interior cities have or
ganized associations to engage in the
work of attracting new settlers to the
farm lands of Nebraska. There never
was a time in the history of the state
when this work could be so well under
taken.
Good farms can be bought cheaper at
this time than ever before , and far
cheaper than they can ever be bought
again , in all probability. The reasons
for this are plain. The first settlers of
new states are generally a class of sturdy
pioneers , who have nothing to invest
but their energy and labor. They do
the work which the more prosperous
class of farmers are not willing to do.
They break the virgin soil of the prairie ,
make small improvements , and begin
the agricultural development of the
country. They are then ready to in
vest what they have made in cheaper

lands further to the west and there re
peat the experience of the pioneer
The partial failure of crops during the
past year has rendered man } ' of then ;
desirious of selling out at prices whirl :
should readily attract buyers and still
give them a good return for their lahor ,
This is the theory on which some ol
the associations are working to secure a
new and thrifty cla&s of settlers in the
territory immediately tributary to the
cities which they represent. One en
terprising interior town has sent com
mittees to Illinois and West Virginia
to lay these facts before farmers in
those states and endeavor to induce
them to come west. There is every
reason to expect good results from well-
directed efforts of this kind. Farmers
in eastern states can sell their present
farms for prices which will purchase
three or four times the acreage in the
west and leave them balance for im
provements. The result will be benefi
cial to Nebraska because it will start a
tide of immigration , bring new capital
and enable the most needy class of
farmers to find means for the develop
ment of lands in the more sparsely set
tled portions of the state.
There is another very promising source
of development quietly working in the
interest of Nebraska. The public has
little knowledge of the plans which are
now being made for the reclaiming of
and lands in the western part of the
state. New companies are being form
ed for this purpose every week and a
large amount of capital has been en
listed. The opening of spring will see
very active operations in this field and
thousands of new settlers are certain to
come in consequence.
This is the favorable moment for the
attraction of new settlers to Nebraska ,
and all the potent agencies should be
set to work to that end. Omaha Bee.
