of his proflcltncy as a printer, was the
first president of "Hlg Six." and nowhere
Is thcro greater reverence for his memory
than In the ranks of the International
Typographical union.
Junies Tole, president of "Hlg Six." has
numed February o for a special celebration
by the printers of New York of the cen
tennial o'f their first president. In the
audience on that occasion will be several
men who can show union cards signed by
Horace Gr.eelty.
Mr. Greeley, who In the face of popular
clamor, made the trip to New Orleans to
become the surety of Jefferson Davis,
holds a special place In the affections of
the south, and many southerners In New
York are actively associated with the cen
tennial plans.
Brglst as Printer.
Horace Greeley was born on February S,
1811, at Amherst, N. II. His father was a
farmer and young Greeley became an ap
prentice printer and set his first type In
the office of the Northern Spectator at
fuultney, Vt., when 14 years of age. He
remained at Poultney until 1S30, when the
paper went out of existence.
To iiuote his own autobiography: "He
landed In New York from a tow boat at
the foot of Hroad street on August 1.
1SC1; being poVrly clad and with few dol
lars, not yet of age and knowing no one
within 200 miles. After eighteen months
of harrowing poverty he started In con
nection with another young type setter, a
printing office, and In lS3t undertook the
publication of a weekly Journal known as
The New Yorker. During the life of The
New Yorker he also edited several political
Journals The Constitution, The Jefferson
Ian and The Log Cabin."
In April. 1841, the first number of the
New York Tribune was Issued. To quote
his own words:
"He had resolved to try the experiment
of a cheap whig daily, devoted to the in
terests of labor as he understood them, to
liberal sentiments and generous purposes,
to temperanoe In all things, to Inflexible
morality and to the exposition and defense
oJ the principles of abeneflcent and wise
national policy."
Commenting on the celebration at Gree
ley, Colo., Leslie's Weekly says:
Edward Ifosewafcp
"When the myth of the Great American
Desert, which stretched Itself acros the
trap of most of the region between Mis
souri's western border- anil the Cascade
mountains, discouraged Immigration to
thut region. Greeley obtained evidences of
Its productiveness and gave them promi
nence In his newspaper. His own letters
to his paper, which he wrote when travel
ing through the further west, were widely
rend on both sides of the Atlantic and
had a lurge Influence In correcting the
erroneous Impression of Its aridity. The
more than a dozen states which have been
erected In the west since he made his
memorable trip through It and bore elo
iunt testimony to Its riches In natural re
st urces are a magnificent tribute to his
prescience and courage. He was one of
the sanest and most stalwart Americans
of an era which was pnrticulurly prolific
in men of large caliber.
The autograph letter from Horace Greeley
to Edward Rosewater, printed nerewnn,
recalls some Interesting political history of
Nebraska. In 1KT0 two newspapers were
published In Omaha, the Herald and Re
publican. Mr. Rosewater himself has said
of the existing conditions: "Although the
republican party was In the ascendant In
Nebraska and growing stronger from year
to year, tho Republican had been greatly
distanced by Its democratic contemporary,
ably edited by Dr. George I.. Miller. Among
republicans there was much dissatisfaction,
and party leaders who had endeavored to
Induce the owner of the Republican to In
fuse more vitality Into the paper, finally
decided to start a wide-awake republican
dally."
Kdward Rosewater was urged to and
did help form a stock company to start
such a paper, and It was the purpose of
those Interested to engage the best man
available in the country as editor. Mr.
Rosewater was a telegraph operator at
tho time and wrote to Samuel Howies of
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican to per
suade him to locate in Omaha, but Bowles
replied he waa "too firmly anchored In
Springfield" to come west. He did, how
ever, promise to look up such a man as
Mr. Rosewater wanted. The latter had
also written to Horace Greeley, with the
request that he recommend some high
class man, and the letter given In fac
simile came in reply to this request.
This Greeley letter," as will be noted,
is In the famous editor's own hand through
out, and, like his usual, writing, la not
easily deciphered. Careful study, however,
will make It out to read as follows:

AT ACTUALLY LESS TE1AU HALF. PRICE
Of course it sounds almost unbelievable but it isn't. Here are the goods at tlm prices
and it is all made perfectly clear when you know that the goods came into our posses
sion at LESS THAN HALF invoice price. The firm of R H. Peterson & Co., in Minne
apolis, found they were unable to renew the ir lease and were forced out of business. They
were compiled to sacrifice their stock for whatever price it would bring.
LOSS
Never in the world could we sell such splendid furniture, Uugs, Curtains, Stoves and
General Homefurnishings at the prices we now are had we purchased the goods of manu
facturers in the regular way. But we didn't. Petersons stood the loss when they turned
the stock over to us at such a terrific sacrifice.

"Owing to tin fact that we cut most of

This gave a total yield of 210 bushels or

oats was also lighter than ukual, giving a
little less than thirty bushels per acre on

an irrigated section producing highly di
versified crops. C. F. Smith, secretary of
the Sterling Heal Estate exchange, is In
charge of the department.
'Logan county Is an empire," said Mr.
Smith. "The county Is forty-eight miles
east and west and forty miles north and
south. It contains 1,167,360 acres, with suf
ficient agricultural lands to furnish homes
for 7,294 families, allowing 160 acres to
each.
'The South Platte river flows In a north
easterly direction a distance of fifty-five
miles through the county, and supplies
water for a number of Irrigating canals
which have priorities dating back to the
year 1672. There are twenty-five irrigation
ditches now In operation In the county."
"There are at present 120,000 acres of fine
agricultural land under Irrigation and this
area will be increased to 260,000 acres
within the next year. These Irrigated lands
produce wonderful crops every season and
never fall. There are also 00,000 acres of
dry lands which, were formerly used for
grazing purposes, but are now developing
Into a good farming country and have pro
duced good crops for a number of years
past."
"For the most part the soil is a deep,
rl h alluvial deposit and of a lasting qual
ity, owing to the underlying basaltic for
mation. The land has an average eleva
tion of 4.CiO feet above sea level.
"A movement Is now under way to es
tablish and malntuln extensive fair grounds
aud buildings at Sterling, the county seat
and railway center.
"Owing to the fait that we have, ISO
miles of railway, a H.Ov.Ok) sugar factory
and some &0,0u0 head of range cattle and
LESS
horses In thts county, which combined pay
about half of the county taxes, our land
tax Is much lower than on lands of equal
valuation in other localities.
'Good water for domestic use can be se
cured at an average depth of twenty-five
feet In the valley and fifty to 150 feet on
the uplands. The average rainfall for
twelve years Is eighteen inches.

This is alsoan excellent dairy section, and
this vicinity Is In immediate need of some
good live dairymen. j
"Iogan county took fifty-two prizes at
the Interstate fair held In Denver Septem

twenty-one second prizes and eight third
