Capt J. C. McGowan of Chambers
saw an opportunity to boost for Holt
county during the two weeks of the
rush of land seekers at O’Neill, and
he did so. Capt. GcGowan establish
ed a sort of general information
bureau in town and was busy all the
while with the crowds showing what
can be done in this county in the way
of growing crops. He had a nice ex
hibit of farm products to show as evi
dence of tile fertility of the soil and
the attention of many strangers was
called to the wonderful productive
ness of Holt county land, that is cheap
compared with prices in other places,
through his efforts.
Among the Chicago citizens who
registered in this city last week for
the Tripp county drawing were Lew
Schwering and Harvey Garver, two
prominent State street business men.
This was the first time these gentle
men had ever been in Nebraska, which
they had been led to believe was an
unproductive wilderness, and they
returned home satisfied that Nebras
ka was one of the best states in the
union and O’Neill about the best
town in the state.
The “hay country” got another
shaking up last Monday, when a sev
ere wind and rain storm passed over
the I)ry Creek and South Fork valleys
demolishing hay stacks and blowing
over some small buildings. Owen
Baker tells us twenty-six stacks of hay
were not only “unroofed” for him but
pretty badly shattered. His henhouse
and another small building were
blown over and a number of chickens
killed. The Petrs, Shaws and others
in that neighborhood sustained con
siderable damage to their hay.
Fairfax Advertiser: More railroad
talk as a result of the opening of
Tripp county and the rapidly settling
up of Lyman, Stanley, Mead and
Butte counties, late reports being to
the effect that the Platte valley will
be connected with Gregory county by
a branch of the Burlington road. It
is claimed that a preliminary survey
was recently made of a proposed ex
tension of the Ericson branch. Both
Butte and Naper are said to be on the
proposed new line and the object is to
tap the newly developing country be
tween the Missouri and the Black
Hills.
The State Journal is trying awful
hard to get people to give that daily a
trial. Its offer now is to send the
paper from date until January 1, 1909,
for only 50 cents without Sunday, or
75 cents with Sunday. The publishers
feel sure that anyone who tries the
State Journal will stick. However,
they have adopted an absolute rule of
stopping every subscriber when his
term is out. If there Is anything that
makes a. man mad it is to subscribe
for a city daily and then have to fight
with the publishers to get it stopped
or pay for something he doesn’t want.
The Journal’s new plan will be popu
lar.

Interest In the Denver Western
League team and has been elected
secretary-treasurer of the club, and
as such will have active charge of that
team during the season of 1909. John
is a cracker-jack newspaperman and
got out one of the neatest and best pay
ing papers in Northeastern Nebraska.
We hope he will be equally successlul

“Chawley-bhoy” sporting editor of
Denver that a man does not have to
part his hair in the center, and wear
the latest in clothes to be a success as
a base ball manager.
Martin Maloney died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. John Hickey,
two miles north of town, on Sunday,
at the advanced age of eighty years.
The funeral was held Tuesday morn
ing at the Catholic church in this
city. The deceased was a native of
county Mayo, Irleand. He had lived
in Nebraska for forty years, home
steading in Washington county in
early days. ^?he past fifteen years he
han lived with his daughter at West
Point, comming here with Mr. and
Mrs. Hickey about a month ago. He
is survived by five children, Mrs. J
Hickey of O’Neill, Martin and James
W. Maloney of Pender, Neb., Mrs.
Martin Padden of Chicago and Mrs.
Catherine Watson of Creighton, Neb.
The children were all in attendance
at the funeral.
Destructive Prairie Fire.
The Stuart Advocate reports that
one of the worst prairie fires in the
west end of the county devastated a
large area south of Stuart Wednesday
of last week. It destroyed about
1,000 tons of hay, burned the barn on
tbe R. M. Jotiiisuu puce; burned to
death akfine team of horses and de
stroyed a set of harness belonging, to
Murray McGrew, the team being
hitched to the baler, ruined the bay
press which belonged to Mr. Grow ley.
The fire started on the northeast cor
ner of Mr. Crowley’s farm, where Mur
ray McGrew and his crew were baling
hay for Mr. Crowley. A high wind
was blowing from the southwest and
the flames were rapidly driven to tbe
northeast corner of tbe Crowley mead
ow, where the fire crossed the road
and swept without hindrance through
the almost countless number of hay
stacks between there and the section
line east. Mr Crowley lost but a few
stacks of hay, but Mr. Wallinger,
whose hay was in the direct path of
the Are, lost very heavily. Jack Mc
Grew, Dick Johnson, Frank Pettinger,
John Steinhauser, Henry Kruger, and
Wm. Schorn were also heavy losers.
We understand that Frank Pettinger
lost nineteen large stacks of hay, and
was only able to save two stacks of his
crop. It is estimated that the loss,
direct and indirect, will be at least
*5,000. __
