Tbe January state apportionment of
school funds for Sioux county is 485.46.
The notice has been received by the
county treasurer and the amount will be
received in a few days, when it will be
divided up among the various school dis
tricts of the county according to the
number of pupils therein reported to the
county superintendent.
We desire to know what is going to
be done in the way of crops the coming
season, and to this end we shall take it
as a favor if the farmers will tell us
what acreage of crop they intend to put
out as soon as they have their plans
made. The indications from what we
have heard so far are that a greatly in
creased acreage over last year will be
seeded the coming season and we desire
to get the most reliable information possible.
Saturday and Sunday snow fell to
the depth of About five inches. No wind
accompanied the snow and it lay evenly
distributed over the ground. The
weather got pretty cold, the mercury
toing down to 21) degrees below zero
Sunday night and it has been pretty stiff
winter weather ever since. Such
weather helps to get the land in good
condition and the result will be seen next
season when Sioux county shows up the
biggest crop ever raised in northwest
Nebraska.
The editor of The Journal expects
to start the first of the week for the east
ern part of the state to attend the meet
ing of the state press association and to
purchase pew type, printing material
and paper stock, and will be absent about
two weeks. In our absence P. H. Brink-
erhoff, the foreman of The Journal
office, is authorized to receive and re
ceipt for money and attend to the wants
of all customers, and he is capable of
satisfying all.
An effort is being made to organize
a trotting curcuit composed of the towns
of Valentine, Gordon, Rushville, Hay
Springs, Chadron, Crawford, Harrison,
Hemingford and Alliance, and a meeting
has been called at Chadron on Thursday,
January 27, 1892, and it is desired that
all who can attend should do so. This is
a matter of importance in connection
with the agricultural society and the
management should see that the society
is represented. It is also an indication
that a good track at Harrison should be
made.
The remark is frequently heard that
a oulvert or small bridge is needed on
some of the roads. It would be welljor
the road overseers and those interested
to look up the advisability of filling in
with earth. It is a well established rule
of railroads and all companies who have
much grading to do to make earth fills
wherever at all practicable. In a coun
try like this the filling serves a double
purpose. It makes a crossing as good or
better than a bridge and it also makes a
dam to bold the water and the washings
from above and the result will be that in
a few years a number of acres of land
will be leveled up in good shape, whereas
if a bridge had been put in it would
never be good for cultivation on account
of the steep banks. A bridge also has to
be repaired and renewed while a good
strong Oil is a permanent arrangement
