YELLOW STONE PAEK Is more and more impressing itself upon the public, as the years go by, as being the great park of the land. The strong feature of it is the fact that it is not a man made park, True enough man has built roads and bridges and ho tels in order that he may see the park, but he has not yet tried his hand at con structing new-fangled geysers, or re adorning or resculpturing the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. These are as God left them. There, too, the elk, bear, deer and other animals are not en closed in wire fences. They wander free and unfretted whetheraoever they will. Man's handiwork is but little seen and the park is the grander forit. Send Chas, S. Fee, Gen. Pass. Agt. Northern Pacific R.

Dr. Etterbrook reports that the Pvra- mid Pile cure not only cures the various forms of piles, but never fails to give im mediate relief on the first application, no matter how severe tbe pain or dis comfort may be. People who have suffered from rules for years are often astonished at the in stant relief experienced from the first application. Another important advan tage is that anyone can use the remedy without detention from business or in terference with daily occupation. Sold by druggists at 50 cents per package.

Reach ing this little city situated on the north bank of the Lodge Pole and in the south part oi Deuel county on tht afternoon of the 3d inst. We were somewhat surprised to find so small a village; we were under the impression that Chappell being the county seat would naturally be a much larger and better place. Tbe county has no court houseand after a diligent search we were able to find the county officers or their deputies. Tbeofflces in this county are divided between the democrats and republicans about equally; there are about 500 voters in Deuel county, most ly in the north half of the county along the North Platte. We visited a relative who lives on the North Platte and spent four days very pleasantly. Tbe trip across the table lands from Chappell to North Platte was very pleasant, impres sive and instrurtive.the mountains, (as I call them) on the south side of the Platte are highrbroken and grand and in many places are very attractive in their natural beauty and would furnish I a least for the eyes of the native eastern JMebraskan. I he valleys and gorges through which our route lay were pic turesque in the extreme and were covered with wild flowers, pines, vines aud other small shrubs. On crossing the river we reached Oshkosh, a village of three houses, consisting of a general store and postoffice, drug store and black smith shop. The valley here is about two miles wide and is practically under rngation, for a distance ot thirty- two miles, under what is known as tbe Liseo ditch whicb extends across theeountry. There are also numbers of smaller and private ditches constructed, and by a careful examin ation of tbe valley and' its possibilities we are inclined to the opinion that in no distant day the North platte valley will be the grandest spot of the great north-west and with a R. R. connecting the valley with the markets her people will prosper as by magic. The crying need of western Nebraska is water and more free coinage Americans. J. M. D. Cattle and Sheep. Raising;. Sidney, Neb., June 9, 1896. Special to the Independent. We reached this little city, the old county seat or old Cheyenne county, today. She, like all the towns, on Lodge Pole creek, is built on a gravel bank, and it is very difficult to make pretty lawns or get nice shade and fruit trees. This,place has lost some of its old time glory and at present is at a stand still like the county seat of Denel county. It is somewhat unfortun ately located the people in the northern part of thecounty are abont eighty miles from the county seat. The people in this section as well as in adjoining counties have arrived at the very correct conclus ion that farming on the table lands is a failure and that without irrigation either in the valleys or on tbe table lands it is equally fruitless and therefor the remain ing residents of this section of the state are to considerable extent devoting their time and energy toward cattle and sheep raising which in my judgement is the only practical thing which can be done in this section of the state with profit. J. M. D. The Populists Will Contest. Salem, Ore., June 20, 1896. Editor Independent We are alive in Oregon and had we had a fair count we would have had one, if not two D. S sen ators. We have taken steps to get a re count or contest for Vanderberg's place in this district. The committee meet Tuesday, 23d to confer on this matter. If the free silver elements, will come out and endorse the only free silver party in existence, they can knock the golden calf clear out, but if the democrats put up a free silver man at Chicago and ask the pops to endorse, we will not do it. We have been sold long enough to Brit ish traitors. The Labor Exchange No. 108 of this place is now at work building a ware house 48x80 feet on the banks of the Willimett river, also working on a brick yard and expect to burn this season about 2,000,000 brick and thus keep our members busy at work when nothing else is at hand. We will also manufacture starch this fall and consume the stock of potatoes. We also haye anew starch factory at Stayton in this county, be side several others in the state.- We han dle all kinds of farm produce and labor products at cost of handling. The finan cial condition of the people is iu a ter rible condition here as elsewhere. Yours trulv, R. R.

The white goat, or Rocky Mountain goat, as it is indiscriminately culled, is a species of big game rarely hunted by sportsmen. This is not so much because of the difficulty of killing the animal, nor because of its actual rarity. It is a stu pid animal, easily shot when once found. It is not, however, found in the usual hunting grounds, as are bear, deer, elk, etc. It is remote from the common lo calities, but where found is in goodly numbers. It ranges very high up in the mountains, above timber line usually, among rocks aud cliffs. This requires great labor to get at it, but once there, the hunter will get his game nine times out of ten. If you care to read of a goat hunt made in the Bitter Root range in Mon tana, in the fall of 1895, send six cents to Charles S. Fee, General passenger agent, Northern Pacific railroad, St. Paul, Minn., for Wonderland r9, which recounts such a hunting expedition.
