CALL THE STATEMENT
The Tiuijune loves to take statements
of its esteemed contemporary sit par at
face value but the allegation in last
weeks issue of the Republican that it
is now tho widest read newspaper in
this section of Nebraska is distinctly
without the pale of truth The McCook
Tkibuxk has a larger circulation and wo
will lay 625 more or less to a similiar
amount by the publishers of the Repub
lican the total amount to go to charity
that we can prove it
When the oil and mining grafters
want to make the bait especially fetch
ing they address their circulars and
letters to Hon So-and-so Wouldnt
that make you buy a gold brick or a
gushless gusher
The way our good friend Ed Allen
took in the Arapahoe postoflice the
other day recalls the familiar barnyard
scene in which the cockadoodledoo calls
together all the confiding hens to wit
ness his eating of a new found feast
The choice of the Fifth district has
fallen upon Judge G W Norris of Red
Willow county Judge Norris is com
pleting his second term on the district
bench to which he has been twice elect
ed in a judicial district ordinarily safely
in control of the f usionists As a judge
he has won tho esteem and respect of all
who have come in contact with him
without regard to party allliliatious and
if his personal popularity proves as
strong in the congressional race as it has
in his judicial district he will be elected
by an overwhelming majority Omaha

The resolution committee reported
briefly affirming tho platform of 1900
deploring the tragic death of President
McKmley and congratulating the coun
try on the faithful and energetic admin
istration of President Koosevelt express
ing a pride at the fulfillment of tho
partys pledges and at its history and
bespeaking for it support in the future
The committee appointed by the chair
was composed of li Li llorth of Hall
C IT Epperson of Clay S A Dravoe
of Phelps John Stevens Jr of Furnas
and Henry 1 ox of Nuckolls
Judge G W Norris was born in San
dusky O June 11 1S61 and came to
Nebraska in 1S35 He then located at
Beatrice but six months later removed
to Beaver City Two years ago he re
moved to McCook where he now lives
He is serving his second term as district
judge In the last campaign his district
gave the fusion state ticket a majority
of more than GOO while he got a major
ity of more than 400 N
WHAT NOttRIS SAYS
Judge Norris seen after the conven
tion said
You may sav for me that I will make
a campaign as effective as possible I
will do everything possible to convince
the people that I should be elected
Viewing conditions as thev are found in
the district I cannot see why I should
not win Republicans everywhere are
alive and enthusiastic over the probabil
ity of electing a congressman I will not
rest until the district has been wrested
from fusion When I viewed che en
thusiastic convention today void of
bitterness and factionalism it added to
my hope and belief that nothing can de
feat us
The convention allowed Judge Norris
to select his own chairman and secre
tary He had not decided last night just
what he would do but it was believed
that he would compliment McCreary
and his friends by naming J W James
of Hastings chairman and Adam Breede
secretary The convention named the

Tonnage Not Speed
It is the understanding in railroad
circles that the smaller engines on the
Burlington by decree of James J Hill
will be retired from service as rapidly as
practicable and that they will be re
placed by large heavier and stronger
locomotives capable of hauling larger
loads It is the definite policy of the
new management of the Burlington to
make their freight engines haul greater
tonnage and all the new engines will be
made of sufficient power to haul the
maximnm tonnage over all grades The
matter of speed is not given large con
sideration and the average speed may be
reduced Tonnage is distinctly in
the interestof economy and speed is not
both of the facts have been determined
by extended and careful experiments
and tests Increase of speed means de
crease of draw bar pull It has been
shown on fast passenger runs that when
high speed is attained say 70 miles an
hour that the draw bar pull is very
light and consequently about all the
fuel was used in making steam to run
the locomotive Such a fact of course
could not exist in the case of a freight
train in the same degree but it estab
lished the fact and the rule will be ton
nage and not speed hereafter It is said
that the tester in its movements over
the division last week disclosing some
curious and startling facts We are in
the era of bigger engines

The Beach at Hyde Park
Tho beach scarcely meets ones expec
tations We look to see a stretch of
clean white sand with waves rolling in
from a limitless horizon and breaking
soundingly upon the water line We
see instead beyond a paved street and
a cement side walk several vacant city
lots covered with a growth of unkept
trees and under brush and weeds and
hummocky with heaps o f rubbish
broken bricks and bottles tin cans and
ashes that have been dumped here to
raise the level of tho track A few
houses have already been built facing
notlhe lake but tho city costly struc
tures fronted by lawns and shaded by
trees A crib of piling filled with broken
rock holds the waves in check aud pro
vents the water from eating the shore
away Tho timbers of which it is
formed came from northern forests
whero once the trees grew almost as
close together as the piles are now set
Cut from the soil that sustained them
stripped of every vestago of green they
were transplanted in this strange land
Their tops that once waved gladly in
the light are buried now in the slimy
shadowless glooms of Lake Michigan
Behind the break water is an inlet or
basin in which fishermens boats and
small pleasure crafts find safe refuge
from storms A narrow verdureless
strip of sand strewn with rounded peb
bles and clam shells and drift lies be
tween the waters edge and tho fringe of
green A fishermans cottage tiny as a
play house apparently too small to be
tho habitation of men is built upon the
sand a homely structure fashioned by
unskilled hands from old lumber and
goods boxes pieces of tin and sheet iron
Through the open door ono catches a
glimpse of the interior furnished in
primitive manner with articles that
have been discarded by their original
owners or shaped by the builder of the
house himself No women dwell here
only men whom one sees busied about
tho only household duty that a man con
siders indispensable cooking over the
small stove whose stove pipe chimney
projecting through tho roof sends a
blue curl of smoke upwards Tho odor
of frying bacon permeates the atmos
phere It being Sunday a day of rest
the weeks washing hangs on the line
Boats are hauled upon the beach Sails
are unfurled to dry after last nights
drenching downpour Fish nets are
stretched in the sun
From this isolated hut the men start
in their yawls and go far out into the
lake There is none to welcome them
home after a hard days labor There
is none to mourn their loss if they are
drowned in the treacherous waters The
world is appraised of a disaster by an
item in the paper recording the finding
of an upturned empty boat Perhaps
months afterwards a putrefying human
corpse will be cast upon the beach
When on land the fishermen live with
in hearing of the waters slopping about
the piles The wind sends the waves
thundering against the break water and
flings spray against the windows of their
house
The beach is bleak in winter A great
ice field stretches away glittering white
as far as one can see or perhaps to a
dark strip many miles from shore that
marks the open water Sharp reports
as of canonading startle them from their
sleep when the restless swelling surface
cracks the frozen crust The piles and
piers are thick coated with ice The
water in the basin is solid to its depths
The lake beyond for miles from land
will bear the weight of skaters but none
come to this dreary spot The surface
is heaved as by volcanic action into
uneven mounds and ridges The light
house far out in the desert of ice stands
alone like a butte on the prairie At
night flames from the chimneys of blast
furnaces in South Chicago flush the
southern sky Dismantled boats half
buried by the snow lie well above reach
of the storm driven waves The wind
sounds mournfully through the tree
tops Last autumns leaves are blown
raspingly over the hard ground A de
pressing desolation grasps the landscape
in a merciless grip
Summer is bright and cheerful The
huge hotel built upon a cape to the north
is astir with life On a still evening the
music made by the orchestra for pleasure-seekers
to dance by comes sifting
out on the air The trees and lawns of
Jackson Park that cover the shore to
the south burst into green With the
first warm days come the owners of the
boats to paint and caulk and mend and
then to sail away in their various crafts
over the rocking waves The piers are
the resorts of amateur fishermen who
venture not out in boats but are con
tent to catch what fish they can from
the works made fast to shore During
every hour of the twenty four when the
weather is favorable the breakwater is
fringed with men who perch like birds
upon the piles and cast their hooks into
the waters that splash against the tim
bers beneath them Many fascinated by
the allurements of the lake come merely
to walk along the bulkheads and to
look out over the foam crested waves
and to contemplate the majestic grand
eur of nature Water fowls swim in the
offing or like horses in a treadmill put
forth mighty efforts against the current
to hold themselves stationary while they
are rocked as chips on a wind ruffled
mill pond by the swell King fishers
skim over the waves dive into the lake
for their prey mount high into the sky
The waters become populous with boats
white sailed vachts row boats electric
launches excursion boats freighters far
out from land
So our fishermen live upon the lake
shore on the verge of civilization that
deems itself the highest yet unmolested
even in the warm season when a large
share of the seething population seeks
the waters edge for rest pleasure or
recreation From years end to years
end they pursue their course in their
own primitive way asking nothing of
men but to be left undisturbed
Do you remember how we sold
machine oil We are at it again
