: While in the east County Attorney
Oouley Hold two quarter sections of
Sioux county real estate. Western
ar.dar coming in demand and Siotlx
county is becoming; a favorite.
A real estate firm lias been formed
by 1 1. J. Simmons and J. M. Smiley.
They propose to buy and sell real estate
und do a general land business. They
will have correspondents in the east and
will liberally advertise the advantages of
Hioux county.
A board of trade should ho organized
by the business men of Harrison. The
talis for information in regard to Sioux
county, the prospects of a mill being
tsrected here during the. coming season,
and various other matters of public im
jKirt as arc coming up should be met by
some sort of an organization. Will
nome of the active business men take
liold of the matter and get a board of
trade started.
IT. 11. Russell while in town Tues
day informed us that be had not fed his
xtock anything at all this winter. He
lias cattle, horses and sheep, anil last
month he sold 19 sheep for $94, not hav
ing ever fed them anything but salt, and
they were dressed by the butcher in
Crawford and people objected to buying
the mutton Ijeenuso it was too fat. Will
ieople who want to (ind a good stock
country make a note of that?
The stock misers of the eastern
states, as well as those of the eastern
part of Kits state, who have been feeding
high priced bay to their cattle, should
tome to Sioux comity. Here many of the
stock owners have not fed a bit of any
kind of feed to their stock cattle and
none have fed but little. The rich native
grasses which grow here and cure on the
grouod are a source of profit to the
farmers which is not yet duly appre
ciated. 0. W. Hester will start next week
for trip to Iowa to tell people of the
aJ'-'iuitnges offered by Sioux county.
Hi will visit a number of points and be
ftbsL'tit for some time. Some action
should be tuken by the business men of
the town to supply him with printed
matter. Here is a demand for a board of
trade and the sooner one is organized the
batter. For the case above mentioned
mm informal action shotild be taken as
titer ii oot sufficient time to organize.

The young folks went to Commis
sioner Johnson's last Friday evening to
skate. They e.Neeted a nice moonlight
night, but. had failed to consult an al
manac on the subject, but with the aid
of some lanterns they got along fairly
well.
We have been handed a list of names
of parties who have written to J. K.
Iiuchanan, general passenger agent of
the I'. E. & M. V., in regard to lands in
Nebraska. The list was scut to U. H.
Griswold, cashier of the Commercial
Dank, and was given to us with the re
quest that sample copies of The Joi'Kxai.
be scut to them. No better index of a
town or locality can be found liian a
local paper, if such paper i-; advocating
ti e advancement of the country.
The JontN.u. is in receipt of a letter
from Supt. O'Brien stating that he will
be here with the (kh car about the 1st
of March. He will have a supply of
young trout for all '."ho are prepared to
care for them and a large number will
lie put into the stratus. Any who desire
to got trout should leave word at this
ollice. Unless you havo clear spring-fed
places for tnem trout is not what is
wanted but some of the other varieties
of fish which will lie distributed later in
the soiiion.
The JiX'Knai. was in error last week
in regard to the hoisting rope used at the
ptrnrphig siititii. The rope belonging to
village has been gone longer than the
riiomory of man runneth back and the
one which gavo out belonged to Julius
Sievers and tho one obtained when that
broke belonged to A. Hasselquist. Had
it not been for the courtesy of those gen
tlemen a new row would have had to
been ordered before the pump could have
been raised and that would have delayed
matters still more. Thus it is shown
that another reason is added for the tet
ter protection of the property of the vil
lage. Some people expect when they go to
a new country to get a homestead that
they will find quartet' sections of govern
ment land with big houses, barns, wind
mills, etc., and part of the land in a high
state of cultivation and the rest sowed
to tame grasses. When such people
come to look for a homestead in that
condition they are very apt to be dissatis
fied, and it is just as well that such do
not come. That class of people never
did much to improve a country, but
those who are seeking homesteads and
cheap farms can come here and look
around and see advantages olfered by no
other part of Nebraska in the early days
of its settlement. Men who are in earn
est looking for a home will bo pleased
with Sioux county for they will know a
good thing whim they see it.
Within the past week County Attor
ney Conley, Sheriff Heidy, Treasurer
Oayhart and Cashier Verity have re
turned from eastern trips and all re
port bad, unpleasant, cold weather at
the points visited and all were glad to
get back to Sioux county. They also
report a. great rush of people toward the
west and a great demand for land in the
east at the high prices. The result of
such a condition will be that people
will flock to the west to secure lands at
low rates or use their homestead right
and secure 100 acres of Uncle Sam's
domain. Every effort should be made
to let people know what is to lie had in
Sioux county. The fact of there bavins;
teen no railroad land in this part of tht
state made it unnecessary for the rail
roads to work to gtt it Settled and hence
it has been advertised only by local ef
fort Tho railroads will be benefited
more that any one other interest by the
settlement of the country, tint they do
not work as tbey did when they wished
to settle a locality in which they owned a
lot of land on which t hey were paying
taMsand from which tiicy were deriving
no revenue. Beal estate in Sioux
county will not advance in value until
more gat here und hence it in to the in
terest of every one who has any real
estate to do all :.o t'f . tci

Springs to remove the broken needle.
Prof. E. H. Barbour of the stale uni
versity, who was detailed to make a col
lection of the soil from the different
counties of Nebraska for exhibition at
the world's fair, states that the soil of
Sioux county is as good as that of any
county in the state. That comes from
as good authority as can be had on the
subject.
The following appeared in an eastern
exchange and shows how the people are
feeling in regard to tho intense cold
which has prevailed there most of the
winter. We advise all who are sick of
the climate in which they live to come
Sioux county and be happy: "Back
ware, turn backward, oh time in your
Might, give me July again just for the
night, soften the soil where the frost
king has lain, oh, let me hear one mos
quito again; I am so weary of snow
drifts and ice, weary of paying the coal
trust its price; weary, so weary of frost
bitten pie bring me a slice of the fourth
if July. Backward, swing backward, oh
season of snow mercury fifteen to
twenty below turn on the heat of the
tropical zone, roast me until I am
cooked to tho bone, I am bo tired of
freezing my nose, weary of chilblains
and corns on my toes, weary of trying to
sleep with cold feet turn on the heat,
mister, turn on the heat."

Wfion the publishers decided to ipe
the Journal twice a, week at the same
price of the old weeklies, $1.00 per year
they struck just what the public wanted
somethiug between the old-fashioned
weekly and the high-priced daily. The
success of the Scmi-WeMi Journal has
been immediate and continued. It has
distanced every one of its once-a-week
rivals. It doesn't take long to convince
people that a good live paper every Tues
day and Friday is tetter than only one a
week, especially when you apjieal to
their pocket books, and give it to them
at the same price. Headers will testify
that- it is almost as good as a daily. Its
markets twica a week are worth the
money. Four complete novels eaph
year by "The Duchess," Miss Bradcion,
and other widely known authors, alone
are worth the dollar, its legislative
news is its strong point just now. It is
wide-awake, spends money for news, and
is always in the lead. You can see its
superiority over the old-fashioned week
ly. Everyone who subscribes now gets
a Seaside Library free. This offer won't
