The Herald is of the opinion, from
all that can be learned, that there
has never been a registration pre
ceding the drawing for chol. of
land in teh opening of a government
reservation where the crowds of
people attending were better taken
care of or better behared than at
the registration whi-h closed last
Saturday night, barring the near
riot at North Platte.
North Platte, the largest of three
towns, was expected to handle the
throngs of people the most easily,
but Valentine did well and the beau
tiful little city of Broken Bow splen
didly. The excellent train service
of the Burlington railroad aided ma
terially at the last named place.
Mot of the people registering there
came from the east. Many of the
west bound passenger trains arrived
in one or two sections. The extra
sections remained in Broken Bow a
few hours, until all coming in, on

On occasions like this it is ex

the Custer county seat were agreea

ception. The business men and cit
izens generally seemed determined
to make a reputation for square
dealing rather than a stake, and in
this they succeeded admirably. The
notable exception was a smooth

with the cooperation of others, and
was easily worked because the peo
