One of the most interesting of the
many public documents sent out about
this time of the year, is the report of the
Life-saving Service. It presents a story
of peril and daring, of thrilling and un
selfish devotion to duty, that deserve
the highest praise and admiration. In
the last year, 8000 lives were saved and
property valued at nearly $1,500,000 wax
rescued from destruction, at a cost of
leas than $1,000,000. 'There is probably
no other investment by the Government
which yields so large a percentage of
Numerous Inquiries have been made
as to the bast method of cultivating the
sail of Bioux county. The reports, in
every instance, ore that deep plowing al
ways brings the best results. In soma
portions of Nebraska it was necessary to
Mm wiui anauow plowing and
iro a I
sowuev V yoo wiah to get the best re
ward for your labor, set the plow deep
and work it thoroughly. To half way
put in a crop and half way care for it,
will never make a farmer rich. The
same rule applies to farming that applies
to all other bust newt, and that is, that in
ellegent and thorough attention is de
njanded to insure success.
The settlers of this locality need
have no fear of the Indians. J. H. Cook
spent some days at Pine Riege last week.
He is well know among the I ml sans who
have a great deal of confidence in bim.
He visited the ghost camp and states
that the dance is harmless, and that the
: Indians do not wapt to tight, and even if
they did there ore plenty of
troops there to keep Uiera under subject
ion, and should any outbreak occur, the
aatilers would be notified in plenty of
time to get to a place of safety. The
most trouble seems to have grown out
pf reports carried over the country by
persons who desired to scare the people
for fun. On Indian reek the word wan
passed that Sheriff Rk'dv bad sent word
for the SHttlers to gather at the borne of
David Anderson. No such word was
sent out by the sheriff and that is a
sample of the "scare" reports circulated.
It is hoped no one will indulge in giving
out any more groundless reports, for it
orlu a hardship on the people and they
hare enough to contend with now.
" The session of the county board on
hurt Saturday was a busy one. The con
tract was let for a bridge in White River
net to T. M. Ti torn ton. This bridge
has hoea nikvd by the people in this lo
cality for a long time., Thomas Deven
port Um made numerous trips to Harris
on to atHxair before the county board and
urge the matter and now that it is to be
built he ocd his neighbors will doubtless
be highly pleased. The contractor, in
such cases is require? 10 give dodos in
doable the amount of the contract and
Mr. Thornton will be here on next Hatur
day to present his bond and the work
will be commenced at once. Some road
petitions were granted and others laid
over until next meeting, A demand
was made that warrants be issued on
some of the old allowed claims of 1880
and the demand refused, A bill (or sal
arv of L. O. Hull as county
attorney wm presented by E. D. Batter-
lee, to whom the claim has been assigned
for the first three quarters of the year,
to the amount of $8T5. . It was stated
by a member of the board that a nil for
attorney had been allowed and warrant
Georse Walker baina- present
stated that u Mil was put in "ior ser

therefore salary of county atty had not

known as the Simix County Hercua.
But what I most pride myself in is my

attorney matter, but 1 tell you those.

as a matter of news, and I am a compe

you to distinctly understand that I am
not interested at alL Now those tickets
were deceiving. I told the people before
election not to vote for Conley (not be
cause I was interested at all, but simply
as a matter of news) and what do ypu
think? When the votes were canvassed
Coniey's name was found written on in

with asws. I am consistent, I am.
There is that chump, H. G. Stewart,

the grounds that Wilson has committed
A horrible octbaob on him by placing
his (Wilson's) name on democratic tick
ets with a rubber stamp, which was a
veritable imitation of writing and will
undoubtedly be construed as written,
hence the ballots were legal. But if
Coniey's name had been stamped or even
written op those tickets they would
hav.3 been illegal. I am telling this to
you , not because I am interested In the
county attorney matter, but simply as
news.
I am pretty smooth, too. Perhaps
you noticed that I worded the contest
article about Wilson a little different
from the contest article about Conley, in
order to sustain my reputation for con
sistency. You see the people who read
my alleged political hood bill are "lunk
heads" and will never catch onto the in
consistency of thjB two articles.

The report, has been received from
the state university of the sugar.' beets,
tot there to be anal vied and gives, $1
per cent sugar. Partlcnlan next weak,
what county can beat that?
It Is reported that the plan of ink
ing a test Well for artesian water in the
Hat Creek basin is growing in favor all
the time. The prevailing opinion; is that
such water oan be had at a reasonable
depth and should it be successful, great
benefit will undoubtedly follow. A
move in the same direction should be put
on foot in this part of the country. If
the people north of us get a drill for
such work, the Deonle of this locality
tsbouU get ready to have a teat well put
