The Frontier. FCBUSIIKD EVERY THURSDAY BY TBB FRONTIER FRINTINO COMPANY KINO A CRONIN. EmTOns. THE NIOBRARA RIVER IRRIGA TION AND POWER CO. Under tbe above name a body of Holt county capitalists have organized a stock company for tbe purpose of ac quiring water rights, developing water power, locating, constructing, develop ing and improving canals, ditches and water courses, and to operate the game, for irrigation and other purposes, as may be seen from tbe articles of incor poration, published elsewhere in this issue. me authorized capital of tins com pany la 82,800,000, divided into shares of 8100 each, and it is provided by the articles of Incorporation that at least 810,000 shall have been paid in before the commencement of business. Rights have been secured on a suffi cient body of water in Sheridan county, where it Is proposed tobuitd a reservoir, from which the water will be conducted down the channel of the Snake river to a point near Valentine, where the Nio brara river will be tapped and a ditch constructed on the great divide between the Niobrara and Elkhorn valleys. Stock is now being sold for the pur pose of making additional surveys and profile, which work it is expected will be done by Donald W. Campbell, a civil engineer of Colorado, famed for his experience and ability in this particular line. In fact all necessary preliminaries are being disposed of and the incorporators are inoculated with an enthusiasm that leads us to believe the corporation has "come to stay.” It will depend, ot coarse, almost whollv upon the manner in which men of means take to the stock as an investment, but from the success of similar projects in other lo calities it is confidently anticipated that ready cash out ot a job will take kindly to an enterprise of this kind, the consummation of which will Insure un complaining returns better than 2 per cent., and on the other hand the value ot the canal to this country cannot be conceived or approximately estimated. The idea now is to first sell as much stock as possible along the proposed line, then make an attempt to interest loan companies holding land in this sec tion of the state, and othor men who have money to invest in sure things. If this cannot be* done the townships along the line should vote bonds of sufficient aggregate amount to prosecute the work to a successful termination. Irrigation is the thing and must be had. no matter what the cost. Thu Jew likens unto a sponge and absorbs the moisture in the fountain of public revenue. Uhdbr republican and democratic ad ministrations the tax list was invariably awarded to the lowest bidder, but under a reform administration the highest bidder does the work. Tn Ewing Advocate says “the gov ernment could loan money to the people ' aa well as to the banka." That's not very strong argument In favor of If Mullen’s state depository law, now is it? ft- _r 1>t ,_ A. resolution was adopted by the last independent convention held in Holt county, denouncing both demo ; crats and republicans. We notice in I* the last issne of the Sun ten sheriff sales signed by an independent sheriff. How this proves one of two things: It.1 proves that the independents were not honest in their resolution, or that ; McHugh is not a democrat. The reader will be Justified, under the circumstan ces, in crediting either one or both of the propositions. After election, if county division fails to carry, the Sun will favor the scheme it proposed last week of reduc ing the number of supervisors to eleven. —Sun, September, '93. How much time will have to elapse before the Sun will advocate this reform T The Frontier is not in favor of eleven supervisors, nor do we believe the change could be legally S ■ made; but we are in favor of seven. Something will hare to be done to lessen the cost of county government or it will be necessary to erect free soup bouses to support those who now pay the taxes. While it may be early in the day to talk about congressman in the big Sixth, yet there are several aspiring to V warm Kern’s seat in congress. The feeling is M. F. Harrington by the inde pendents. It is understood that Mr. Harrington will not be a candidate, yet has he the right to refuse to be the peo ple’s candidate when they call him? Harrington is the man.—Atkinson cor respondent in the Independent. Mike Harrington is just the man that !s capable of holding up the reputation of the independent party of Holt county. The one is as vulnerable as the ■ other. Tun Sun Is the only paper in the county that will publish the official pro ceedings, having a contract with the county to that elfcct.—Su’d. Proceedings of the county dads will appear in this, the paper of the people, and all other legal publications pertain ing to the county.—Independent. Ah, ha! my masters, how now? Is this a blunder of the board, or is it an intentional steal? Both papers have been uwarded this work and both will receive pay therefor. The Sun was awarded the contract for the proceed ings, and the Independent secured the contract for all legal notices. Proceed ings are "legal notices,” so it will be scon that both pnpers will get pay for the same work. And the stars roll on above, reform rolls on below, and we can feel tko rattling wheel revolving as we go. Those croakers ol liades sought to inveigle the board to give the printing to the lowest bidder so they could set up the howl that the populists had gone buck on the Jew; had ignored the policy of the paper by sitting down on it, etc., and they would have howled like iho demons of hell in an effort to divide the party.—Independent. Now we are getting at the facts of the case. The printing was awarded to the Independent as a matter of political policy and not because the public weal demanded it. In other words the people’s cash is to be farmed out for the benefit of the populist party and the interests, of the tax payers may be damned. We thank thee, Jew, for the above explanation, as it tells the story in fewer words than we could, and will not fail to convince that the reformatory rantlngs of you and your party are but molasses to catch flies. A fofulist writing to the tituart Ledger from Brodie, Holt county, de livers himself of these facts: I voted the populist ticket last fall, and at the time firmly believed I was vot ing for a more economic administration of county affairs. It now looks as though I had made a mistake. The present bosses of the court house have employed the largest clerical force of any incumbents in the history of the county, proving that they are either less competent than their predecessors, or consider county funds as the spoils of the victors, to be divided as they see fit. Iu the matter of county printing the officers whom I helped to elect, think ing they would consider the tax payers* interest first, seem to think that Kautz man’s independent organ staould have the county patronage regardless of what he sees fit to charge. That portion of the printing for which there is a legal rate, fiom a partisan stand point, should go to Eautzman. The other print ing, from a partisan stand point, should go to Keutzman, but as a matter of right to the tax payers and justice to every citizen in the county, it should go to the lowest bidder. One of the mottoes paraded by our party is “equal rights to all,"and the principles of no party come farther from encouraging despotism, therefore, I think every independent will agree with me when I say that Eautzman has no right to establish a censorship over the actions of the county officers, politically, or in any other way. Our party, as I understand it, is the uncompromising enemy of monoply and the poor man’s friend, and I think Eautzman’s attempt to have republican editors boycotted and starved out is not in accordance with the princi ples of the populist party. While, as a partsiau, I wish them all manner of confusion politically, as a member of the grand fraternity of mankind,! con sider they have a right to live and a right to what ever patronage their legitimate buisness tact entitles them to, Eautzman to the contrary notwithstand ing. I am not the only populist in the county who thinks a public office is not a public trough, and as soon as the populist party commences to listen to the suggestions of greedy dictators of anarchistic tendencies and fail to carry out their promises they envite disso lution and defeat. INDEPENDENT STEALS. At every meeting of the board of supervisors they steal from the county 9186, by charging for the day before the board meets and the day after it adjourns. By awarding the printing of the tax list to the Independent they have stolen over 81,500' from the people of the county. By employing more help in the treas - ,urer’s office than is necessary and more than was employed under a republican administration, they are wrongfully spending the people’s money. By employing more help in the clerk’s office than is necessary and more than employed under a republican administration, they are robbing the tax payers. By allowing the sheriff two deputies when he should do all of the work him self, they are heaping additional burdens upon the public. By recklessly plunging the county into ill-advised and losing litigation that are increasing taxes. Employing John Morrow for a year at 83.50 per day as assistant expert, which was clearly a violation of our statute. By calling a grand jury last fall they heaped thousands of dollars of addi tional debt upon the county, and the benefits derived were absolutely nothing. Being the plurality party they are re sponsible for the continuance of the supervisor system, which costs the county over 850,000 more every year than that of the commissioner. Before election Joss Mullen promised that all the help ho would ask would be one deputy and one clerk. Therefore, all the help he employs above that num ber is a steal, according to the words of his own mouth. Awarding the contract for publishing the proceedings to both the Sun and the Independent is a steal that will amount 1 to considerable. wwnnuau MeXW&vnf,' Julius Craig Cleveland, Ohio; Hood’s Proves Its Merit Severe Case of Blood Poisoning A Perfect Cure “I will tell how valuable we have found Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
