Beacon Light: When we said the
State bank owned half The Frontier
office, the editors said we lied. But if
we had said McHugh, the man they are
ardently supporting for city treasurer,
owned it, they perhaps would not haye
been fools enough to deny it.
If you had said McHugh, instead of
the State bank, our answer would have
been exactly the same. Quess again.
Whether or not King writes the
“Schoolboy” communications that ap
pear weekly in these columns may be a
mooted question with Kautzman and
the professor, but the true inwardness
of the case is that King has nothing
whatever to do with them. They are
written by one of Mr. Morrow’s bright
pupils and he has little reason to
question tber origin, even though they
occasionally comment sarcastically upon
his shoit-cominge.
Beacon Light: Laying away all
prejudice, does any consientious busi
ness man think it is good for the repu
tation of O'Neill to elect Dickson
mayor? Uttley and Scott will vote him
and that had ought to settle the matter
in the mind of every honest man that
Selah should be elected mayor of
O’Neill.
In the face of the returns it would

Ledger: It comes with poor grace—
mighty poor grace indeed—for the
O’Neill eleemosynary carpetbagger that
the county board has put on full feed
in an attempt to fatten, to blubber add
whine about being abused and slandered
when the columns of his shyster, sinster
sheet have reeked with nothing but the
most damnable lies, slander and obscen
ity, ever since he struck the county,
against men who would suffer any in
dignity rather than be even compared
to the alliance-pampered Keeley re
clamation and dead beat.
The Schuyler Quill man revamps the
following in a late issue, and while it is
a little hoary with age, having gone
around the world a little in advance of
George Francis Tram and the other lu
nacies, it is nevertheless pretty good:
When people talk about there being a
better state than Nebraska every potato
slightly winks its eye, every cabbage
snakes its head, every beet gets red in
the face, every onion feels stronger,
evry oatfield is shocked, rye strokes its
beard, com sticks up its ear, and every
foot of land kicks. The horses even de
nounce the statement with a neigh and
the printers grab their shooting sticks.
W. D. Mathews informs Thk Fbon
tier that as soon as his official head is
severed he will leave for California to
do a little special advertising and im
migration work in that country. Doc
is peculiarly fitted for that particular
class of work. He is a fluent writer and
his pen pictures of people and countries
are vivid and entertaining. The beauty
of his editorial work is that he never
allows any conscientious scruples to in
terfere with the phraseology of his pro
ductions, even though truth occasionally
suffers. The best we can wish Doc is
thnt in the western country he may
achieve fame as easily and deservedly
as he did when issuing “God’s country”
editions of this paper, whose founder
he is.
Those who never read the advertise
ments in their newspapers miss more
than they presume. Jonath Kenison,
of Bolan, Io., who bad been troubled
with rheumatism in his back, arms and
shoulder.) read an item in bis paper about
how a prominent German citizen of Ft.
Madison had been cured. He procured
the same medicine, and to use his own
words: “It cured me right up.” He
also says: “A neighbor and his wife
were both sick in bed with rheumatism.
The boy was over in my house and said
they were so bad he had to do the cook
ing. I told him of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm and how it had cured me. He got
a bottle and it cured them up in a week."

Engineer Campbell and Jack Meals
arrived in the city Sunday afternoon,
having driven down over the line of the
proposed ditch. A meeting of the stock
holders of the company was held Mon*
day, at which Mr. Campbell made re
port. While the directors decline at the
present time to give his report out for
publication The Frontier succeeded in
reading a copy of it and is pleased to
say that it does not differ materially
from the report made by Messrs. Gillis
pie and Meals and published in these
columns. In fact so far as the practica
bility of the project and the amount of
available water is concerned the two re
ports are almost identical. Besides set
ting aside all doubt as to the feasibility
of the scheme it demonstrates that
Messrs. Qillespie and Meals are some
what expert themselves.
Boyd County Advocate: To say that
Wm. F. Gallagher was surprised on
Tuesday night the thirty-fifth anniver
sary of his birth is not expressive of his
astonishment. Mrs. Gallagher is as
unfathonable as the pecularities of her
sex invited the friends of Mr. Gallagher
and herself (and they include the entire
population of Spencer) to spend the
evening at their hospitable home. The
Spencer orchestra compelled every one
present to believe “that he who hath no
music in his soul and is not by the con
cord of sweet sounds moved, is fit for
treason, stratagem and spoil," and until
early morning brave men and fair
women indulged in the dance that could
only be accompanied by merry hearts.
The sumptuous repast spread for the
guests at midnight was the production
of one skilled in the culinary art. The
Advocate with a host of friends extend
congratulations to Mr. aud Mrs. Gal
lagher with the hope that each and
every anniversary of the birth of either
of them may be an occasion of joy.

A MERITED REBUKE
The People Repudiate the Inde
pendent Heeler*.
WERE STRUCK BT A CYCLONE
Biggeat Mejoritiee Ey« Received la
the City.
Tuesday’s election was a stormy one.
The elements were at war and tne op
posing candidates were at war. While
the lines were not drawn politically,
when the forces were arrayed it was
plainly visible that the Independents
were for Sclah and the balanco of the
people for Dickson. It was a good
test of the independent strength. They
did not sulk in their tents and allow
themselves to be whipped without a
struggle but made an aggressive fight,
only to find when the ballots were
counted that they had been literally
skinned alive.
The result Is suggestive for the reason
that O'Neill is now the home of the
leading independents and Kautzman,
who again brought up that old Dakota
case, and the Scott matter of course, to
prejudice the people againsi Dickson.
It is not only indicative of what they
may expect next fall, but is a good indi
cation of what will happen to them ail
over the county. The people are getting
on to them and those who have been
crazy for a year or two are recovering
at an incouraging rate.

Irrigation in Arid Bogloni,
H. H. Curley, an Intelligent writer
upon irrigation topics, has recently had
a series of articles in the Kearney Dem
ocrat along the line of irrigation in a
general way. In a later article he treate
the subject from a standpoint of the cli
mate and topography of the country
which is one of the mose interesting
views of the subject to be taken. We
quote: "The northern part of Idaho is
well supplied with water and farming is
Drhticed with success without irrlggtion.
irrigation is not general and wherever
practiced gives excellent results. Idaho
contains numerous lakes between the
mountain ranges, and water can be used
from these lakes to a good advantage by
irrigating. The climate is mild and be
sides being celebrated for its mineral
resources it has a ready home market
for its agricultural products.
“Much of the territory of Wyoming,
which contains 97,883 square miles, lies
at a high altitude. It has rich coal and
iron mines and great agricultural re
sources. The climate of Wyoming is
very similar to that of Idaho. Colorado
is possessed of many natural advantages.
The Rio Urande, Platte and Arkansas
rivers head in the mountains. The
early pioneers practiced irrigation with
success. Later settlers saw the success
attained by the use of water and today
the 6tale has excellent laws governing
water rights and thousands of acres are
under ditch.
"Irrigation was first begun by the
anglo-saxon race in the United States in
Utah when it was inaugurated by the
Mormons in 1848. The enterprise, per
severance and frugality of the Mormons
in reclaiming arid lands and the flatter
ing results accomplished under trying
circumstances have served far better
than any argument to encourage irriga
tion in the valleys in Utah. Irrigation
has become so general in that territory
that there is hardly a settlement where
it is not practiced. The amount of land
under cultivation in the territory is
about 300,000 acres, which may be in
creased to 3,000,000 if the waters are
properly distributed.
“Nevada abounds in mines of gold,
silver, copper and other minerals. When
its agricultural resources are developed
by irrigation it will support a large
population. There are numerous lakes
and rivers in the state, and many broad
and fertile valleys where irrigation can
be followed with success, but the pop
ulation of these valleys has not yet been
sufficient to warrant any extensive works
for irrigating purposes. This state has
also the advantage of a good home
market for supplying the mining com
munities.
"California commenced Its career as a
mining community and for twenty-flye
years paid but little attention to agri
culture. Thousands of acres of arid
land which were at one time barren
deserts have been developed on an ex
tensive scale and are now very product
ive. Land which was worth $1.25 per
acre twenty-five and thirty years ago
will bring from $100 to $1,500 per acre
at the present time. A great deal has
been done by irrigation in California,
and although cities have sprung up on
deserts, irrigation has just begun in that
state. The resourses of the state are so
great that its development can be con
tinued indefinitely.
“No part of Arizona can be cultivated
without irrigation. The southwestern
portion of the territory is low and fertile
and where water is used for irrigation
the country has shown wonderful devel
opment. The climate in the southern
portion is semi-tropical and many tropi
cal products are grown in the Salt river
valley. The climate in the northern
and central portions of the territory is
mild and salubrious. Irrigation is not
practiced very extensively in the north
ern portion on account of the scarcity
of water, but the mountains in that
portion contain rich mineral ore and
there is a home market for all agricul
tural products.

Notes From the Tomplo of Learning.
Tho diminutive Imp of drrkness and
Amnios fome, who “stondi In" with
Miss Norvall, Charlie McHugh, Profes
sor (God between us and harm) Morrow
and others to such au extent that she Is
permitted to sign her nom de plume to
articles written by them, used a consider
able portion of the valuable (?) space In
las week’s Bun to the criticism of an un- ' |
important error made by Bchool-boy a
few weeks ago. Now we are personally
acquainted with Student, and know that
the limited vocabulary of that that little
Cetto-Itaiian maiden does not command
English grammar enough to properly
invoke the sign of the cross, while the
criticism referred to contained more
hightoned English than was necessary
to convey its meaning. For a while we
imagined that not only were the Mafia
and Olanna Gael* pursuing us, but the
whole of Italy and Ireland. We were
quickly informed, however, that the
article was penned by one, the so-called
Prof. Morrow, who, becoming Inoensed
at our remarks directed to him, en
deavored to wreak vengeance on us by
hiding himself and his vular conglomer
ation of senseless slang behind tbe
defenseless student. We candidly admit
that we made the error, but It was due
rather to thoughtlessness, than to Ignor
ance; and we have to say In our own
defense, that If It were not human to
err, the school board of O'Neill would f
not be Justly exposed and subjected to
so much criticism for Its action in em
ploying an incompetent teacher last
July. If Mr. Morrow doubts the ten
dency of the human family to errors,and
thoughtlessness, we refer him to tbe
archives of the county treasurer’s office,
and to tbe reooTds of the assistant ex
pert, and he will probably be enabled to
write a much larger and more extensive
volume on "Human Errors." We should
also advise student not to play the part
of Joey Bagstocks by allowing her
opinions to be expressed by numerous
Mrs. Bagstocks, but to come out like a
lady and express her own opinions in
her own language. To the egotistical
pedant who called us down so bard, we
shall say, that we were acquainted with
the history of Fabtus long before God
eyer permitted him to pollute tbe walks
of O’Neill with his stinking pedestials,
and that, when we become mistaken to
such an extent as to injure Holt county
several thousand dollars worth, we’shall
find refuge in the region of the insane
asylum, emulating the example of his
incompetent brother.
Will Mullen visited the high school
Thursday.
Misses Mary O’Sullivan and Mary Ann
Hurley visited Mrs. Taylor’s room on
last Thursday.
Prof. Bonn,of Oakdale,made the high
school a very pleasant visit last Thusr
day. After hearing the class in civics
be delivered a neat little speech, which
was interesting to the scholars in
general.
The long-eared yellow dog who writes
under the pseudonym “Arizona Kicker,"
directed a few insulting remarks at
“School-boy” last weak, but we do not
make a pursuit of answering such mangy
curs. Anyway Kautzman wrote the
article.
Smoked-kind-leg-of-a-hog Kautzman
ventures to remark that Clyde King
writes these articles. Thanks awfully
for the compliment, but we would not
advise you to bank too much on your
statement, Ham.
Miss Alice Cronin was missed from the
high school Friday afternoon.
The scholars of the high school have
been taking involuntary lessons in court
ing since the first of September, in fact
the vicinity of the waste basket has
been converted into a regular lover’s
lane. School-boy.
