James C. Wilson, who lives in this
city but owns a thousand or more
acres of irrigated farm land In Hin
man precinct, fildd Wednesday as a
democratic condidnto for county com
missioner from Itho first or North
Platto district. Mr. Wilson is recog
nized as a very progressive farmer
and lousiness man, and considered
from the standpoint of his property
holdings as well, and his consequent
interest In county affairs, he Is un
doubtedly a well qualified man for
tho position. Ho becomes a candidate
not because he needs the salary at
itaehcdl but through ttie Insistance
of those who believe that a heavy
property holder Is nnturally more in
terested In the conduct ot county ni
fairs than one who has but little per
sonal or real property. Mr. Wilson Is
well known in the city mid in llin-
man precinct, where he formerly re
