SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1887.
There is 110 truth about the suf
fering and deaths from freezing in
Western Kansas. Western Nebras
ka and eastern Colorado have had no
such experience, a proof that the
stories about Kansas, 200 miles
farther south, are pure fiction.
Daniel Manning, whose death
Qccured at his home in Albany early
this week, was a self made man and
typical American. Like Lincoln,
Logan, and other public men whom
the people hold dear, he was a man
of the people, held in the highest
esteem. All classes unite in doing
.him honor.
The county seat election in Logan
countr, Colo., last week was a lively
affair. Sterling is the favorite, but
the B. & M. people are determined
to have the capital at their town of
Holyoke. while Julesburg is a side
issue. From this distance it looks
as though the latter place stood no
show, and we advise the people to
throw the weight of their vote to
Sterling.
The Nebraska weather service
bulletin shows that the cold wave
which swept over the plains during
the latter part of November was
the coldest experienced in that
month during the past ten years.
At Valentine the mercury touched
31 degrees below zero.
The State Journal, published at
Lincoln, Neb., has recently inaugu
rated a Monday morning paper, and
is now published seven days in the
week. The Monday morning Jour
nal is a full sized paper, in every
way up to the high standard which
characterizes the paper on other
days in the week, and does not in
any way detract from the other is
sues of the paper. The Journal
has always been one of the best
daily newspapers in the west, and
this new stroke of enterprise places
it in the front rank of metropolitan
journalism.
There will be a strong effort
made at this session of congress to
pass a bill controlins; immigration.
It is time. It seems that a large
portion of the foreigners do not
come to this country to live under
our liberal institutions but to de
stroy them. If they want to over
throw law and order, let them prac
tice their schemes at home. This
country has no us for them.
Senator Manderson has intro
duced a bill dividing Nebraska into
five divisions in which U. S. court
shall be held. North Platte is in
the central division, and it includes
the counties along the U. P. from
Kearney to the west end of the
state, Kearney being the place fop
holding court. The Senator should
remember that Kearney is over 200
miles from the west end of the
State. North Platte, 90 miles
farther west, is much more central,
both of territory and population.
Senator Manderson should amend
the bill to make North Platte the
point for holding court, and then it
should become a law.
The special election for the loca
tion, of the county seat in Perkins
county (south Keith) has been call
ed by the Governor for Jan. 17.
The towns of Grant and Madrid are
contestants. The latter hits Grant
a hard rap when it says of its rival:
"Grant bases her claims for coun
ty seat on being the largest town in
the count', etc., etc. She contains,
the "whole timberless region between
the Missouri river and the Rocky
mountaun. Thuy fix the freight
rate, set tEe price on the coal, and
regulate the supply. They fear no
competition, for the railroad com
pany, standing in with the ring,
will not transport, or at least only
in small quantities, for private com
panies. There are individuals own
ing coal lands who would gladly
work their mines and ship the pro
duct to consumers if they could get
transportation. That is impossible
under presentjpuditions. The same
thing can be said of fuel monopo
lies in the East. The anthracite
coal Kings will not allow the sup
ply to exceed a certain amount,
thereby keeping the price up to
what are claimed exorbitant figures.
These things are beginning J;o
make the people think. They 'are
beginning to ask the question what
right have a few individuals to size
and monopolize the fuel trade?
Have a few persons the right to
ssize these vast deposits designed by
nature to furnish warmth and com
fort to her people, and dole them
out to the many in such quantities
and at such prices as they (the
monopolists) see fit?
If legislation can reach this sub
ject, and we believe it can, it is time
the people should take steps to pro
tect their rights. The comfort and
health of the people caunot, should
not, and must not be at the mercy
of a few coal kings, already rich
beyond the requirements of any individual.
of tricksters.' mho have cdnartantly
worked against the interests of the

who will not hesitate to stoop to
anything that will win. A sus
picious place to trust anything of
public welfare."
Chickens come home to roost.
By her illegal votes Grant secured
the division of the count. Now
those who winked at the work are
abusing her for it.
Of late years a great deal has
been said and written about railroad
monopolies, the complaints general
ly being confined to freight and
passenger rates. There are other
monopolies that are equally as op
pressive, perhaps more so, and it
is time the' should receive the at
tention of the people and be broken
Perhaps the monopoly that reaches
the people, more directly at present
is that of fuel companies. These are
rings generally composed of officers
of railroad companies. Nearly
ever' railroad company in the West
has one of these rings, and they are
especially, oppressive throughout
OUR FUTURE BEEF SUPPLY.
The wholesale shipments of cat
tle from the drouth districts of
Iowa and Illinois, cthe immense
number of range cattle both from
the northern and southern ranges
that have been thrown on the mar
ket during the past season, coupled
with the almost total extinction of
the she stock in portions of the
northern ranges last winter, means
a great dimunition in the supply
from sources that have hitherto
been a large factor in supplying the
markets. While some of the most
prosperous states produce more beef
than they consume, it is evident
that the demand is outgrowing the
supply; and again, the cattle sup
plied from the ranges during the
past twenty years have created a
line of business in which there are
millions invested and which would
difficult for Eastern stock misers to
profitably supply.
Phil Armour is reported to have
said that "the country east of the
Missouri river was capable of sup
plying the whole demand," yet it
seems the countrv spoken of has
not produced what is claimed it
could nor in our opinion ever will,
notwithstanding such high authori
ty as Mr. Armour. What markets
have consumed the produce of the
ranges and where have the finest
and fattest eastern beeves been
sold? The canning, packing and
refrigerator houses have used the
bulk of the range supply and the
foreign demand has taken a large
portion of the choicest eastern raised
beef.
There is a large area of the
northwestern country that is almost
strictly pastoral on account of di
versified surface, only a small per
centage being capable of maturing
agricultural produce on account of
the altitude and dryness of jjttmos
phere. Irrigating ditches will re
claim much, but only a small part
the whole, and the crops that will
be principally raised will be fed to
horned stock and cattle. The
whole western and northwestern
country has hardly begun to be de
veloped. Immense bodies of min-
no doubt, the largest and only ring Urals, coal, oil fields and the tim-.

bered districts of the mdun tains
only await the process of "bringing
out" to people the country with
almost countless industries. The
beef supply must come from some
where. A few venturesome capi
talists have sought ranges in more
salubrious countries with, in some
cases disastrous results, in others
doubtful. But at preseut we can
not look to Mexico. Mexicans are
not, as a rule, inclined toward the
Americans. The whole Spanish
South American people and Indians
with but few exceptions are in a
state of constant fermentation,
making the industry of raising cat
tle with profit in that country
merely a theory based on the large
amount of unoccupied territory that
is supposed to be peculiarly favora
ble to it. The United States must
not only supply herself but must
furnish for foreign consumption
large quantities of oeef, and touch
ing the decrease in our future pro
duction, we clip from the North
western of Cheyenne the following:
Twelve hundred cows on the
maiket in one day at Kansas City,
last week, and from one ranch, is
an illustration of how the future
beef supply is being cut off. If
fthis was the only case of the kind
the papers would be full of talk
about it. But it has grown to be
so common an occurrence that no
one thinks it worth while to com
ment. It is a present slaughter
and a future "boomer." It is rough
on the man who gives up the cows
but it is piling up big dollars for
the than who don't have to sell his
she stock.
Those so situated that they can
continue in the business as a busi
ness not a speculation whether
in conjunction, with the farm or
strictly in raising stock will be the
people who will have a comfortable
surplus to their credit.

Chicago, Iil, Dec. 28. To-day a
contract between Commissioner
Vining and the old tripartitite asso
ciation was cancelled. When
originally formed, Vining was chos
en commissioner with $12,000 an
nual salary and a five year contract.
The pool lasted but eighteen months
but Vining held to his contract, and
has since continued to draw his
1,000 a month. To-day, however,
he agreed to take 6,000 in lieu of
the remaining year of the contract.
For eighteen months active duty
and two years sitting around, Mr.
Vining has been paid $52,000.

A BOOM EDITION.
Editor: My attention was
to the advertising scheme
of the Inter Ocean solicitor who
took his departure from the city a
few days since with something over
125 received from subscribers in
our town. As a consideration he
forwards the daily Inter Ocean for
three months and inserts in one is
sue an editorial correspondence de
scriptive of North Platte and the
vicinity. It is a credit to our city
to notice the increase in public
spirit shown by so many of our cit
izens in the endeavor to boom our
advantages and prospects
out the countrv.
Now while I approve of any
method by which the interests of
our community can be advanced,
and while the Inter Ocean adver
tisement will doubtless be beneficial
still it is questionable whether for
the amount expended as large a
return will be realized as by other
methods of advertising. During
the past four years I have expended
quite a iarge. amount in advertising.
I have endeavored to trace wherein
I received returns from that source
of securing customers. I have ob
served'that where I expended money
in advertisements in papers outside
of our local issues, the returns have
been light; and I have found that I
received but little if any reimburse
ment for money expended on for
eign publications. My experience
has been that the largest returns
have come from our home papers.
To illustrate: I gave Rev. Vessels
ten dollars for my advertisement in
the Vanguard. I can trace over
100 in returns to my card in his
little paper. I have frequently re
ceived inquiries stating "I noticed
your advertisement in The Tri-
bjjxe, in the Vanguard, your Land I
Your statement relative to your
intention of issuing a boom edition
would seem to be just what North
Platte requires. Now, in 1885 I
published and circulated for my
own especial benefit a small land
paper called the Lincoln County
Land News, the cost of 5,000 copies
amounted to $37. - I have circulated
about 3,000 and still use them in
answer to inquiries relative to our
city and county. To this little pa
per I can directly trace as receipts
over 1,000 which has come to my
self and associates. I can show the
service it rendered the county in the
arrival and settlement within our
limits of over fifty new settlers
who have permanently located them
selves and families within the boun
daries of our county, and who are
now engugecKn advancing the gen
eral wealth of all by their residence
and labor.
This beneficial result has been
attained through their receiving
ad reading Jhis little land sheet.
Every settler 'it'has brought to us
has added to the wealth of Lincoln
county; it has increased the actual
value of land. The value of North
Platte real estate has been enhanced
by their settlement in the vicinity
of the city. Every hotel, livery
stable, store, lumber and coal yard,
bank and other business houses
have been benefitted. Although
the settler individually expends but
little, a number of settlers -will ex
pend and disburse in a year's time
quite a large, sum and their labor is
at all times increasing general val-
Now
tion wi
3,000 copies can be of such value,
how much more 'Value and benefit
can accrue? to the county and city
in general by liberally assisting iu
the publication and circulation of
your proposed boomer? A careful
and considerate distribution of from
5,000 to 10,000 copies of a good
boom issue would be of incalculable
benefit to our city and county.
My experience has demonstrated
that but little return is received for
money invested in'foreign publica
tions; that newspapers or circulars
of home production give by great
odds the greatest return for the
amount expended.
Now North Platte and our coun
ty can be greatly benefitted br giv
ing a generous and hearty support
to the publication of a boomer is
sue. It would be absurd to assert
that the real estate men should do
all; the public may be assured that
they will do their share. Ther will
not be backward in rendering as
sistance. -Sd-it? now lies with the
people as a whole to come forward
and give an earnest and enthusias
tic support to the coming boomer,
as the successful issue of such a
paper will tend -to increase "the per
sonal wealth of every citizen of the
county. Respectfully yours,

THE SEMI-ANNUAL APPORTIONMENT
OF THE TEMPORARY SCHOOL
FUND.
Superintendent Lane has turned
over to the state auditor the semi
annual apportionment of the tem
porary school fund and the work of
drawing the warrants for the same
was immediately begun. This ap
portionment is made in compliance
with the provisions of section 3,
subdivision 11. of the school law
and is derived from the following
sources:
Interest on United"States bonds S SOO 00
Interest on State bonds 13,050 00
State tax S'3,009 7::
Interest on coanty bonds 23,820 20
Interest on district bonds 50;00
Lease school lands 64.S67 23
Private securities 2,012 00
Fractional remainder .' 10
Total amount $33 1,430 93
The rapid growth of this fund is
most gratifying to note and is con
clusive evidence of the educational
funds of the state. The correspond
ing apportionment of last year was
289,270.68 and the fund has grown
since 1880 from 125,312.05.
The total number of children now
reported is 279,982 over 252,005 for
last year and 233,060 for 1885.
Upon this basis the rate per scholar
is 1.19447296 with a fractional re
mainder of 17 cents. State Journal.
