Teachora' Mooting.
About fifty country teachers
oraved the cold and wind Saturday
and came tp town to attend t lie
spring meeting of the county
teaclicra. These with the city
teachers and visitors in attendance
made a good sized audience at the
afternoon session held at the high
school auditorium. With but one
exception all those represented on
the program were present, and the
papers read, and the discussions
following, arc pronounced to have
been excellent better as a rule
than is customary at these meet-
ins.
A Competent Official.
The Laramie Republican of
March 12, nays: Railroad officials
arc in a measure public omciuls.
Railroads are common carriers and
must cater to the public for busi
ness. The official, therefore, who
can handle his road with tin
greatest degree ot efficiency and
yive the public the best se'vicc, is
the most popular with the directors
and the patrons.
These remarks are called out by
the very high degree of efficiency
that has been attained on the
Wyoming division of the Union
Pacific during the past two years.
Recently it has been announced
that time is invariably made up in
this state, no matter whether the
trains come Irom the eat, t or west .
This means good power, good men
and good oiganization, and above
all it means a master hand at the
helm.
Superintendent Win, L. Park is
a railroad man of rare ability, and
the public is giving him no little
credit tor the general efficiency dis
played on the Wyoming division,
lie has grown up from boyhood in
the railroad service and knows it
like a book. Reserved iu'eharacter,
he 13 no! quick to form new friend
ships, but his actions inspire con
fidence and his courtesy is con
stantly drawing the public closer
to the Overland.
The men under his direction say
hit, judgement is keen, his man
agement fair and impartial and his
Itfcisions just, lhs rapid advance
ment in the service is proof that he
is big in mind as well as in body.
Their BrcaiJ and gutter.
The vision ot a thriving, pros
permiB community of farmers culti
vating little garden spots over
the valleys of western Nebraska
under a system of government
water storage and irrigation is so
hateful to the average pop whose
fortunes depend upon droughts and
crop failure?, that it is not bo extra
ordinary as the average Nebraskan
nay think that the entire pop
delegate u in congress from this
state is fighting the irrigation ap
propriation bill against all the rest
nf the western members, Prosper
ity of the small farmers in western
Nebraska would be the death knell

Grazing1 Lands iu Domnnil.
But a few years ago the man who
owned grazing lands in this sec
tion of Nebraska could get nothing
tor them and the homesteaders
pastured them and received all the
profits without even having the
taares to pay. Under the present
conditions cattle have been shipped
in and farmers from the eastern
part of the state with large herds
arc leasing the lands and the price
ot the same is advancing.
Inst week we leased to McDer
mott Brothers of Far nam, live sec
tions of land owned by L. S. Mc-
Cabc, Rock Maud, Illinois, at
J32.50 per section, to V. C.
Nichols fur 13. M. Bird and Nichols
and the prospects arc that Mr. Mc
Cabe will tie able to lease all his
grazing lands this year at these
figures. It is a good sign, and be
fore many years our Platte valley
farmers will each own a section or
twool hill pasture land to keep
their herds iu the summer. Goth
