ACREAGE REPORT WANTED.
The Juik.vaa desires to collect data
relating to the acreage of crop put in i
Sioux county in 191, aQd will toke it as
a favor if the farmers will send to this
office a statement of the crop they lave
put in, such report showing the number
'f acre of each kind of grain, vegeta
ns, corn, etc., planted.' No matter
how small an acreage you liave, a report
is desired.
To the farmer who has the largest
acre-age of crop we will send The Joui
N.u.Vce for one year, and to the farmer
having the second largest acreage of
crop we will send The Jotrnal five for
six months.
All reMrts must be in on or before
July 1, 191, and the comparison will be
made at that date, so that reports sent
in later than that would lie barred.
We will also be pleased to recei ve re
orts fi-om farmers from all parts of the

On last Sunday W. E. Moore cap
tured a young gray wolf near J. W.
Ernest's place south of town. Gray
wolves kill a good deal of stock in that
locality, and Mr. Ernest will try to lo
cate tlie den and clean out tlie pack.
It is reported that some Chadronites
came up to Andrews a few days ago to
lish and captured a numlier of speckled
trout, some of which were a foot long,
Tim trout were planted in White river
alsiiit four years ago. That is a good
pointer for the farmers who have good
xations for fish ponds.
Bishop Graves and Rev. Bates will

work getting up the papers and will lie
gin action against the delinquents and
their bondsmen to recover the amounts

cases.
An important business deal was made
a few days ago, Griswold & Marsteller
becoming owners of the general stock of
merchandise of W. It. Smith & Son, who
will retire from business. Tlie stock
will lie moved to the building now oc
cupied by the purchasers, and the busi
ness will be conducted in connection
will) the hardware. Wo do not know
what Smith & Son contemplate doing.
We are informed that B. B. Bixhy
is fitting up a pond which he intends to
stock with fish. There are a large num
ber of places along the numerous
streams in Sioux county where fine fish
(Kinds could be made with very little
trouble and expenso, and we hope it will
not lie long until the farmers will take
a lively interest in getting a supply or
fish growing in the waters in the county.
A good deal of trouble has been ex
perienced during the past few months in
regard to the cutting of timber on gov
ernment land along White river. It is
staled that over one hundred cases have
been reported and a number of arrests
have been made and the prisoners and
witnesses taken to Omaha and after de
lays and continuances the men have been
discharged, or at least there havo been
no convictions secured so far. It is ad
mitted by all that a good deal of govern
ment timber has been cut, but the great
er nart, if not all of it lias been useu ror
the erection of of buildings on the land
or in the towns in the immediate vicinity
where the limber grew. The worst fea
ture of the prosecutions is that the men
arrested and the witnesses are taken to
Omaha and put to a great deal of trou
ble and expense, and when no one is con
victed it looks like a great farce. If
there are complaints let the men ar
rested lie taken before a United Slates
court commissioner and have a hearing
to see if the evidence will justify taking
him to court. It would certainly be a
great saving to these interested and also
in court costs, und ho long as the lumber
is used in the vicinity where it grew,
,m.s improves the country, Uncle
jSt.m ought not to kick very hard. We
have yet to learn of any one wno nas
got rich in the business in this part of
tlie country.
ine authorities of Chadron have
been figuring on putting in an extensive
gravity system of water works and N.
W. Chapman, chief surveyor of the F.
E. & M. V., did the surveying and in his
report says "I have estimated no freight
charge as it has been intimated to me
that it will all be free." That shows
that the railroand is in favor of assisting
to uuild up the towns on its line. If the
village of Harrison should take the mat
ter of water works up it is not improba
ble that the railroad would deal liberally
with it in the work. The additional
train service to lie put on may make it
desirable to have a water tank at tin's
place, and at all events the company
would appreciate the water for protec
tion to its buildings and for use in the
stock yards. The village board would
do well to investigate the matter. ;
We notice that in other counties
steps are already liemg taken to get up
an exhibit for the state fair. Last year
was a set-back for western Nebraska and
nothing will do more to regain the con
fidence of people in the east than for the
western portion of the state to make a
large and varied exhibition of the pro
duets of 1891 at the state fair. Sioux
county has a log house on the state fair
grounds and the proper thing to do is for
the people to prepare to enlarge and im
prove it and fill it with the products of
Sioux county. It is to be hoped that tlie
farmers will take hold of the matter at
once. If each will devote a little time
and trouble a grand exhibit can be made
and it will help secure new settlers and
thus improve the country. The more
thickly the country is settled the more
valuable the land will be, so that it is to
the interest of every real estate owner to
work to get more people here.
In another column appears a notice
in which.'lhe county superintendent calls
a meeting of school district ollicers to be
held at the court house on Saturday,
June 13th. Tiie legislature last winter
passed a law making it tlie duty of the
school districts to make contracts for
text books for use in the schools. The
law provides that school districts shall
contract with publishers, such publish
ers having first filed a bond with the
stale superintendent, and also a sworn
list of the lowest prices at which books
are furnished by said publishers any
wherein the United States. The text
book question is one which has hcetj
bothering educators and school boards
for years and while the wisdom of the
law as it now stands is questionable, still
it has to be complied with, and an ef
fort should le made by school district
officers to do the best they can. One re
deeming feature of the law Is that it
gives all children, no matter how poor,
tlie onoorlunav of using tlie books, so
that none will need to grow up in igno
rance because they have no books. In
other counties annual meetings of
school district officers are held and the re
sults are beneficial in school work and
we hope to see the schools of Sioux
county keep fully abreast of tlie times,
