North Platte is Chosen
The university regents at their meet
ing last night voted to locate the west-
ern experimental sub station at North
Platte Under the provisions of an act
approved April 8 they were authorized
to establish the sub station on lands
selected by them the only provision be
ing that the location bo west of the one
hundredth meridian The competition
between the eligible cities has not been
very fierce and only one definite bid was
received
Under the terms of the proposition
made by the people of North Platte 3
sections of land of which 200 acres are
available for the purposes of the sub
station lying three miles south of the
city are to be furnished at a cost to the
state of 7500 One of the regents
estimated its value at double that
amount The land is said to lie in a
beautiful section of country and it is be
lieved to be an ideal site for the station
The regents consider themselves fortu
nate in getting it at the price as it
leaves half of the appropriation of 15
000 which was devoted to the sub-station
by the last legislature to bo used
in the erection of buildings and the
carrying on of experimental work
The law authorizing the new station
places it under the management of the
regents and limits it to experiments to
determine the adaptability of the arid
and semi arid portions of the state to
agriculture horticulture and forest tree
growing
Work on the equipment of the station
will begin early next spring Tuesdays
Journal
Three Crops of Volunteer Wheat
T J Pate whose farm is located just
northeast of the city tells an unusual
wheat story which happens to be unlike
some stories in the quality of being true
This week he has been threshing the
fall wheat from a 60 acre tract of land
and the machine has measured him out
over fourteen hundred bushels of wheat
of a fine quality and heavy weight aver
aging a fraction over twenty three bu
shels to the acre This of course is
not a large average for this year were it
not for the fact that this is the third
season Mr Pate has harvested a volun
teer wheat off that tract of land Mr
Pate has a tract of land also which this
season produced the third volunteer
crop of rye which he has high expecta
tions of giving a fine yield notwith
standing he last fall and winter run a
large bunch of sheep over this rye to his
profit in the increase of meat on the
sheep of about a thousand dollars
This beats all the money made from
all the gold mines in which the people
of McCook have invested in the last
twenty years
R H Harrison of Boxelder is having
his wheat threshed The fall wheat
average is from 35 to 40 bushels per acre
His spring wheat is not going so strong
being about 25 bushels per acre

Barn and Contents Destroyed by Fire
Word reached town Thursday of the
destruction of Joseph E Nelms barn
with its contents Tuesday night of this
week up in the neighborhood of Quick
Frontier county The barn was worth
about 30000 and was insured for 400
There were 1800 bushels of wheat in the
barn but it is thought that considerable
of this may be saved perhaps one half
Mr Nelms also lost a number of harnes
ses tools etc
Chester son of J E lost three head
of horses two sets of harness a top
buggy etc
A threshing outfit operated at the
Nelms place last week and some of the
men occupied the barn for sleeping pur
poses The theory is advanced that
perhaps some one dropped a match in
the barn which was in some way ignited
starting the unfortunate and destructive
fire
This is the place recently purchased
by Mrs Daniel S Freeman of Beatrice
Engine Destroyed and Separator Burned
Tuesday afternoon while threshing at
the farm of Patrick Coyle up in Cole
man precinct C L Fenns engine blew
off its crown sheet the fire from the en
gine setting fire to the separator which
was destroyed except the feeder as was
also a wagon load of sheaves of wheat
and the wagon itself the straw suffered
a like fate The disaster was doubtless
caused by the injector failing to work
properly and afterward pumping cold
water into a super heated boiler
Henry Overvee of Hayes county a
brother of Mrs C A Ready of Hayes
Center was temporarily in charge of the
engine with which he was entirely un
acquainted He was quite painfully
burned about the legs being blown
about thirty feet from the engine by the
explosion
The engine was an old one but the
separator is of more recent vintage The
loss will be quite heavy The feeder
rescued by being dragged from the
burning machine is worth about 820000
