Frank Pielstickor, who made a trip to Wallace Sunday, spys that corn on sandy land is in fine shape and will produce a good crop without rain. That growing on hard land is not so good. At Grand Island last Friday Clara L. Hutchens was granted a divorce from Win. C Hutchens, now and for many years past a-resident of this city. They wero married in North Platte ten years ago. The plea was desertion, Claus Mylander is building n 24x3G silo on his farm southeast of town, and at tho experimental farm an additional one is being erected. Several farmers in different sections of the county are building silos in the hillsides, the ground forming three sides of the silo. Today's Bee says: The long drouth which has prevailed oyer the state for tho last month or six weeks, has been practically broken in most parts of Nebraska and reports from railroads and towns indicate that somo corn will be harvested in nearly every county in Nebraska. Inthe country north of tho Platte an average corn crop is assured, while south af the Platte, where pre dictions made Saturday of last week were of very pessimistic nature, the railroads and farmers now expect to harvest from 30 to 50 per cent of an average crop of late corn.

The shipment of cream from points along tho North River branch is in creasing and even now forms an im portant item of traffic. Tho daily average for 'some time 'past hns been forty-eight cans, nearly all cf which is shipped to Denver. Add to this the cans received from sections tributary to North Platto, and you have a total that would justify the establishing of a small creamery at North Platte. In this connection, a gentleman was in town a week or so ago looking over tho town with the view of establishing a cream'ery, and "arfnounced that he would ask no bonus of any nature should he decide to locate here.
