The revenue bill is still tho prevailing
topic of conversation at the capital Tho
bill is to bo presented to the house this
week and no doubt will bo discussed to
the exclusion of other bills Tho new
bill was agreed upon in detail by the
joint committee a week ago and a sub
committee has been at work carefully
revising it and correcting the clerical
errors in tho typewritten copies The
expectation is that it will come before
tho house in splendid shape and that
very few important amendments will be
offered or adopted There are some few
who are skeptical about tho passage of
a general bill but they seem to be in a
decided minority In the senate there
seem to be an overwhelming sentiment
in favor of tho proposed bill
Among tho standing committees dur
ing the past week the principal interest
has centered around tho proposed eleva
tor bill and the investigation of tele
phone rates After several hearingsthe
Ramsey elevator bill house roll 70 has
has been recommended for passage with
some slight amendments In the mean
time the committee to investigate tele
phone rates has had several1 very warm
meetings and at this date has come to
no definite conclusion The evidence as
to the expense of conducting a telephone
business has been most startling in its
varience and it is probable that further
evidence will bo heard during the week
In the strife as to whether the independ
ent lines shall be allowed to establish
toll stations in the large cities the spe
cial telephone committee seems to have
lined up with tho old line company
The joint resolution calling for a con
stitutional convention has passed the
senate by an unanimous vote and is
now in tho hands of the house commit
tee It is said that it will receive con
siderable opposition in the house and
may not pass The statement recently
made that the governor is opposed to the
idea of a convention may have -some
effect in retarding tho resolution There
are many who advocate the adoption of
amendmentSjinstead of calling a conven
tion on account of the expense which
would be incurred by tho convention
Others however point to the fact that
in tho last dozen years the state has
spent 140000 attempting to adopt
amendments and failing in each case
Interesting bills recently introduced
in thesenate 179 providing a penalty
of not more than three years in the peni
tentiaryor a fine not exceeding lC0O
for the crime of desertion of minor
childrenby parents 181 changing tho
registration law to permit voters to regis
ter at the office of the city clerk on any
day during the month preceeding the
election 183 amending the pharmacy
law in regard to registered pharmacists
1S5 permitting the hooking or seining
of fish in the Missouri river at any sea
son of thejyear 1S8 providing that road
tax in counties not under township or
ganization be paid half in labor half in
cash
Interesting house bills 2S0 and 281
to prevent fraud or counterfeiting in the
handling of railroad tickets 285 pro
viding for a lien on grain for the thresh
ing or shelling bill 289 to regulatethe
use and prevent injury to bridges and
public highways 295 to compel the
cutting and trimming of hedges along
public roads304 to provide for the full
width of public roads 313 making the
the birthdaysTof McKinley and Lincoln
flag day public holidays
Up to date the senate has passed 37
bills and killed 17 the house has passed
32 and killed 30 The senate has 38
bills on general file ready for considera
tion and the house has 40 The num
ber of bills that pass both houses is
usually about 110
A Revised Order of Creation
The following stray reached this
office recently via the Bartley Inter
Ocean In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth then the
editor then the liberal advertiser
which were all good The next day it
snowed and he created the man who
does not believe in advertising another
who does not take the home paper and
then he rested And then the devil got
into the moulding room and created the
man who takes the paper for several
years and fails to pay for it After he
had completed that sorry job and hav
ing a few lumps left he created the
excuse of a man who settles his sub
scription by informing the postmaster
to mark his paper refused

The Valley of the Grand
Having spent my childhood near Mc
Cook coming there when tho town con
sisted of a sod postoffice I have always
felt an interest in that section of Ne
braska
Thinking readers of The Tribune
might like to know something of the
Grand River valley I shall endeavor to
tell of a few of the leading features
There are at present about four inches
of snow on the ground as level as a
floor The writer has lived here four
years and has not seen a snow drift in
that time as the wind never blows in
tho winter making blizzards impossible
Since February 1st the government
thermometer has registered as low as
15 below zero several nights the cold
est ever known in the valley but our
rural mail carrier still wears his last
summers straw hat
Surrounded by mountains on which
the snow lies until July the summers
are always cool and a ono days drive
takes one to fine mountain lakes where
flies and mosquitoes aro not known and
fish and fowl abound
Grand Junction is a city of over five
thousand people with largo public
library high school business college
electric light business college sewer
system fire department and excellent
water works
All country schools are graded and
are second to none
The products are rich and varied and
all crops are raised by irrigation Rain
does more harm than good as it causes a
crust to form on top of the ground
which is difficult for some tender plants
to push through
Our irrigation system is the best in
the state as water is abundant and
cheap Fruit and alfalfa might be
called the staple products although all
crops grown in temperate climates are
cultivated to some extent here Pota
toes are planted in larger acreage every
year and command good prices Corn
does well but does not produce as solid
ears as Nebraska corn in cood vears
The Fruit Growers association shipped
over 500 carloads of fruit the past
season beside much more that was
shipped locally The poultry business
is one of growing importance Eggs are
worth from 20c a dozen in the summer
to 35c a dozen in the winter and frying
chickens rarely sell at less than 12c
per pound live weight There is also a
good demand for thoroughbred poultry
Wages are good Farm laborers get
SI 75 per day or 8350 with team while
workmen in town receive 6200 to 2 50
or 500 with team Ground is now be
ing broken for a large smelter which
all think is a great advantage to our
town We also have a beet sugar fac
tory which cost half a million dollars
but is not as successful as it should be
owing to the disinclination of operators
to pay a remunerative price for the
beets We wish McCook better success
