Notes From Elsewhere
1 George Davis, our road supervisoi
is doing some nluch need<d work o
, the roads. North of the red bridg
on the O’Neill road two high' culvert
. hive been built and a heavy gntd
thrown up. Approaches are also bein
fixed for winter travel. So says th
’ Inman News
The Stuart Ledger says: In the las
r month, there has been shipped fror
^ this station 157 cars of hay, or moT
than 15,000 tons, which gives Stuai
2 the head, or rattier hay mark over a
- the towns along this way. Ileretc
fore Newport has had thatdistinctior
i but for the past month, she has rank
s edseconjl.
We learn from the Graphic that 1
. F. Shufflebotham, whom it a wa
I announced would open a commis
sion office in O’Neill for Edwards
Wood & Co., has located in Atkinson
Mr. Shefflebotham and family hav
'f moved into I. E. Deck’s residence ii
north Atkinson, and he has rentei
the Wheeler brick building on Stab
' street as an office, from which poin
he will handle the markets at O’Neill

A Real Homestead
, Alliance Times: Hon. M. P. Kin
kaid has written Register Bruce Wil
cox, of the Alliance land office, asking
his opinion and the general sentimenl
here as regards the passage of a bil
that would entitle homesteaders to a
section of land, or 640 acres, instead ol
160 as allowed by the present law. The
register replies favoring such an act
and correctly stating that the avail
able lands Remaining would not graze
more than ten or fifteen head of stock
to the quarter sect ion, and being prac
tically useless for agricultural pur
poses, thus do not enable the settle]
to make a living on the land, and that
with 640 acres he would be able to dc
so. This is a measure that we believe
would be generally favored by nearly
all residents of this region for various
good reasons. Times would be glad
to print the views of any one on this
subject, and we would suggest that
as many as possible of those interest
ed address Representative Kinkaid at
Washington, that he may have a bet
ter idea of the wishes of his consti
tuency, whom we feel certain he
desires to serve to the best of his
knowledge and ability.
