To the Farmers of * S. W. Nebraska.
It has become the custom of the far
mers of the successful Agricultural states
to hold 'Farmers * Conventions" , where
in and stock-rais
those engaged farming -
ing assemble and discuss and exchange
ideas as to the kind of crops best adapted
to their locality , and the best methods
of cultivation ; and those who have at
tended such conventions agree that great
benefits result from the recitals of the
experience of those present.
We believe that great good will result
from such a meeting of farmers at this
time , aiid hereby issue a call for a "Far
mers' Convention" to be held at Me-
Cook , Nebraska , Thursday and Friday ,
Sep.ember.17th and 18th , 1896 , for the
purpose of discussing any and all ques
tions relating to farming , dairying , and
stock-raising in this section of the coun
try.
try.A
A good camping ground with abund
auce of water will be at your disposal and
we urge all farmers to attend this meet
ing.
Come the evening before and bring
your camping outfit and let us have a
pleasant and profitable time.
If you are in doubt as to the good re-
> . suits , come for recreation aud you will
go home well satisfied ,
k There will be an open air concert ,
k Thursday evening , by the McCook K.
) P. Band , one of the best in the state , and

J Nothing in it. -
I It will be welcome , news to the pub-
i lisher and the public to learn that the
system of giving prizes in the shape of
chromes , pamphlets , books and what is
/ known in newspaper circles as guessing
contests and coupon fakes is on the de
cline. Journals have been making frantic -
tic but useless endeavors to push circula-
tion by these means for years past. Such
schemes fall short of their object. The
reader soon tires of the novelty and the
extra solicitation becomes objectionable ,
not only because it wastes space in his
p per , but because as a rule he is asked
to paj' for something that he can well do
without or don't want at all. The prize
scheme goes to an excess , and where a
picture card or lithograph was at one
time acceptable , a book , buggy or build
ing lot soon fails to attract attentionand
the publisher eventually finds that he
cannot keep up with the demands which
he has helped to encourage.
The dailies of Chicago compared notes
recently , and found that , as a result of a
year of these methodstheir circulations ,
both absolutely and relatively to each
other , were in about the same condition
as before , and they were $500,000 out of
pocket. It is to be hoped that the en
terprise and ingenuity which has been
wasted in a rivalry which has not even
been appreciated by the reader will be
turned into the legitimate business of
making better newspapers. This will
pay , in the end , better than the quasi
gift enterprise.
INTERESTS YOU.
Offer of Cheap Reading : Matter You
Can't Afford to Miss.
During this great campaign people
want newspapers and want them while
they are fresh and newsy. The SemiWeekly -
Weekly State Journal , Lincoln , Neb. ,
supplies the demand , as it will be mailed
from now until January 1 , 1897 , for only
25 cents , or from now until Januajy 1 ,
1S98 , for one dollar. The 25 cent prop
osition takes you all through the cam
paign , gives you the .election returns ,
and through the balance of this year.
A dollar for the great twice-a week paper
from now until January 1 , 1898 , is the
biggest offer ever made to readers. All
through the campaign , all through the
Nebraska legislature , the congresses and
the inauguration of the new president.
Never since the war has so many inci
dents of vital iuterest to the masses been
crowded into sixteen months , as there 1
will be during this period. The SemiWeekly -
Weekly Journal is almost as good as a ;
daily. Send your order direct or give it 1
to your postmaster.
Keep Your Alleys Clean.
In view of the few cases of typhoid
fever in the city , I want to again urge '

of keeping their premises and surround

COMMUNICATED.
Anaconda , Montana , Sept. 4 , 1896.
Friends and Citizens of McCook : Ow
ing to the many requests that were
made of me pen my departure from
McCook to Write concerning the con
ditions which prevail in Western Mon
tana and my inability to correspond
with each one personally I have with
the kind permission of Editor Kimmell
taken this means of informing you.
After a long and pleasant journey
of over 1400 miles by way of such
beautiful places as Denver , Colorado
Springs , Pikes Peak , Pueblo , Canon
City , Royal Gorge , Salida , Leadville ,
Mt. Holy Cross , Castle Gate , Grand
Junction , Salt Lake City , Ogden , Pocatello -
catello and Silver Bow I arrived in
Anaconda , Saturday afternoon , Aug.
22d.
Before relating any facts concern
ing Anaconda I wish to relate a few
incidents of the journey. It is need
less to say the scenery over this route
is the finest the world has produced ,
and were I to describe it I would have
an endless task.
Among the many things which im
pressed me most was the amount of
business and travel that seemed to
exist in the western states , yet thi-j'
tell me that business is very dull and
base all their hopes for the future on
the victory of ' 'Free Silver" , which in
their estimation will be the crowning
success of the western states.
The chief sources of income from
these states are mining interests ,
with a little agriculture , railroading
and grazing combined.
During my sojourn in Denver I met
many old friends and former ac
quaintances who have been residents
of McCook at one time , and while in
Salt Lake-City I had the pleasure of
meeting Mr. L. B. Stiles , who is now
in the employ of an Accident Insur
ance Co. , and he told me that our old
friend Mr. Geo. Johnston , former pro
prietor of the Commercial hotel of
McCook , is in charge of the "Walker
House" of that cit3r , and is doing very
well.
well.The
The ' 'Mormon City * ' is a beautiful
place to live in , not as a business cen
ter , but as a place to enjoy a comfort
able and pleasant life. I visited the
temple and tabernacle and was very
much surprised at the grandeur and
magnitude of it. A person would
have to see it in order to comprehend
its magnificenc . Leaving our jour
ney with the expectation that you all
may experience it at some time in
3'our lives I will now tell you what I
know about Anaconda , Montana.
This city with a population of over
12,000 is located in a valle } ' between
two ranges of the Rocky Mountains
at an elevation of over5,000 feet from
sea-level.
We have an excellent climate , and
our water supply is brought direct
from the mountains and is furnished
to the consumers at a very low rate.
The city possesses electric lights ,
street-cars , good schools , churches of
all denominations , a free library do
nated by the wife of millionare
nearst , two railroads penetrate the
the town , and a nice park with mineral -
eral springs affords amusement for
the weary laborers on Sundays. All
the picnics in this part of the state
are held in Anaconda Park. The chief
sources of empk > 3'ment in this section
of the country are mining , smelting ,
railroading , lumbering , grazing and
the corresponding branches of trade ;
and business which are held and controlled - ]
trolled by "labor unions" , thus affording -
ing uniform wages.
Business here in comparison with
that of McCook is very good ; there
are not less than five thousand workmen - -
men tributary to this town , which of j
course has a tendency to keep busi1 1
ness good in commercial branches. '
Many people labor under the impression -
pression that this is nothing more
than a mining camp , but this is a
mistake , for nearly all the mining is
done at Butte , thirty miles awa3r , and
all the refining and smelting of the
ore is done in Anaconda.
Wages are high , common laborers
receiving not less than $2.50 per da3' ,
clerks and deliver * men $75 a month
and up , mechanics from $3 per da3r
up , office men and railroaders get
high salaries and all other branches
of labor are paid in proportion
Provisions such as meats , milk and
groceries are very high , while shoes ,
dry goods and clothing are cheaper
than McCook prices. Rents very high
an\l many buildings in the course of .
erection. Fuel is high , coal $7 to $15 "
per ton , wood $5 per loadequal to four
ricks of stove wood. I would not ad
vise any one to come out here this
fall , owing to the approach of winter
and the possibility of getting a job
while the cost of moving would be
ver3' high , but from the present outlook -
look I think there will be a great .
many opportunities offered in the \
spring , especially to 3Toung men
starting out in liie. ,
Wishing 3ou all a prosperous 3-ear \
and all that follows , I remain
Yours most respectful - . ]
