Intelligent Effort
. When people, hearing of the for
tunes that have been made by west
ern Nebraska stockmen, think that
money grows on the grass in this
country and all that is necessary to
secure great wealth is to go out and
pick it up, they have a wrong idea.
It is true that the grass grows here

This homestead of 160 acres and
a tree claim of the same amount of
land were the beginning of his pres
ent Immense ranch. He is now one
of the largest individual land own
ers In the state, if not the largest.
His holdings are mostly in Garden

We hear a great deal about scien

Unlike some who began cattle
raising in the early days, Mr. Eldred
did not come to this country empty

of his fortune here. He brought 150
cows from Saline county, which gave
him his start. He was a heavy los-
Kee Your Kye on Alliance
The Lincoln Star says editorially:
"Keep your eye on Alliance. When
a town which had under the 1910
census 3,105 population gets a hustle
on and adds 295 members to Its Com
mercial Club and raises 14,371.00 In
three days it is susceptible of convic

a stock ranch right, it is necessary;
for him to act upon his own initia

books or by what others tell bim. He
must have a reliable judgment of his,
own and act upon It. j
Right here is the secret of the suc
cess that has been achieved by many
ranchmen within the last twenty-five
or thirty years. They have turned
their opportunities to good account
and have made opportunities for sue-'

two of these markets, Grand Island
and Lincoln, have given this paper
by, occupying space In its advertising

."Here is the article from the Bulletin:
.Nebraska is making phenomenal
progress as a horse market state. St.
Louis ia regarded as the largest mar
ket in the . world while Chicago
claims second place. Then comes
Grand Island, South Omaha and Kan
ses City, all making claims for, the
third place. Lincoln also has a flour
ishing market which is rapidly ex
panding in importances with spirited
sales every week at Grand Island,
South Omaha and Lincoln, the mar
ket possibilities of Nebraska cannot
be emphasised too strongly to horse
men. In breeding animals, the Percher-
ons seem to be the strong favorites,
aB 53 per cent of all the pure bred
stallions Percberons, with all the
Other breeds trailing below 12 per
Cent. Why not make it unanimous
and have Nebraska recognized as the
Percheron breeding ground of the
world? Our natural advantages equal

this Industry.

SCENE ON RANCH OF EVFJtETT M. KLDKKD, SHOWING FEED YARDS
Acting in the capacity of City Phy
sician and Health Officer for the City
of Alliance, I want to bring before
the Council for Its consideration a
matter which in my opinion la of
grave importance, concerning tne
general health of the city.
In the matter of commercial en
terprise, I believe Alliance la far In
advance of tha average town, la Ne
braska; we are boosters for Alliance;
have our academy, our scbools, and
our "substantial Improvements In the
way of buildings; we have neighbor
ly outings, and the good fellowship
exists between us and our neighbor
ing towns, we are supposed to, and
I believe have, one of the best sew
erage systems in the state, yet less
than 50 per cent of the property
owners are connected with It, but In
stead have In all most every Instance
the most unsanitary cess pools, and
privies that could be built.
Dr. Town, health physician for the
city af Omaha, and recognized as au
thorlty along the line of sanitation,
read a paper before the recent state
medical assoclatien In which he was
able to show that all epidemics of
typhoid fever, Bcarlet fever, diphth
eria, etc., were traceable to faulty
sanitation. He particularly urged
that all cities or towns where sewer
age is established should force all
property owners to connect with the
same else build sanitary privies, the
last of which I am sorry Is not cov
ered by our ordinance. People on
first thought are apt to complain that
these connections are expensive. Say
to them, so Is typhoid fever, dlpbtb
eria, etc. Not only expensive but
you are taking chances on losing
your loved ones. If this matter is
brought fully before the people of
Alliance, and in the right manner, I
feel sure that all will agree to Its
truthfulness, and be willing to assist
in its enforcement.
Dr. Town's paper is to be publish
ed In The Medical Review, but has
not yet appeared.
I will ask the council to bear with
me while I quote from an article by
another prominent worker, Dr. F. O.
VanGalder on cleaning up garbage or
rather the danger in neglecting the
same.
"An open garbage can in the alley;
a sleeping babe in the home on the
boulevard; a door left ajar; a fly
buzzing in from the garbage can
or privie is deposited on the face of
the sleeping babe, and sickness, and
death follows.
Query: How in the world did baby
contract the disease when It had not
been out of the bouse nor seen a
sick person In weeks?
The answer: The fly did It. A de-
seased germ taken into tha body of a
fly Is deposited without chemical
typhoid fever, cholera infantum, tu
berculosis, diphtheria and many oth
er infectious or contagious diseases.
Question: What is the practical so
lution, a campaign to clean up and
to eradicate. To enforce the ordin
ance compelling property owners to
connect with the sewerage.
