- -.-Some people who were very anxious
to sell their land a short lime ago have
come to the conclusion not to sell or to
considerably increase the price. Any
one in the east who intended to come
here to buy cheap land will find that it
p not so cheap sis it was.

them to wait awhile tind see, but that
they had better get here if they want to

Some of t lie fanners near town say
that their grain is coming up anil the
loose stock is annoying 1b:-iii. People
should take a hint and see that their
stuck is taken care of, for no one wants
his crop destroyed after havie.g put it
in the ground.

- -- Ilijurv Oovev received the sad news
the last of the week of the
death of his mother which occured at
Seward on the 10th Inst. She wa.i near
ly !!) years old, having been born in Au

tinir. '
V B. F. Thomas has been appointed a
member of the advisory council of the
worlds oongress auxiliary -on,, fuuiih cul
ture which meets in Chicago during the
coming summer. Farmers ,,tttihing to
attend from this county ciin get cards of
introduction from him.
The farmers are putting in a large
acreage of crops this season. A crop of
100 acres is not at all unusual for a fa rni
er to report. Another noticeable thing
is that more pains are being taken to do
the work as it should be done than was
ever done in this locality before and the
results will be much more satisfactory.
In speaking of the injury sustained
by George Williams at school last week
an error was made. It was the same
arm broken that was broken last fall but
this time it was broken nearer the wrist,
and there is danger of resulting in a stiff
ened joinh It has been a very painful
injury.
Every day wo learn of new people
who are coming and others who are tak
ing steps to secure land and trying to get
some of their friends in the east to come
out hero and get a homestead while there
is an opportunity. At the present rate
it will be but a little time until all the
best claims will be taken.
Thomas Kaster and his son-in-law-arrived
at Crawford a few days ago and
now occupy land recently secured near
Glen. Many new people are locating in
Sioux county whom we do not see at the
county seat. The county is so large

southwest of town and will soo.i he a

main for some days yet. A nephew of
the Smiley boys is expected daily from
Illinois to look over the country with a
view to locating. If every one would
get as many of their relatives here as

-The greatest difficulty the farmers
have to contend with in subduing the
new land hero is the "nigger wool" a
grass root which grow in much o the
soil. The- most practical plua of getting
along with it that has so, far beeu tried
is to run a well-weighted disc over it both
ways before breaking. This was done by
W. S, Brearley and proved to be a great
help. The blades of the diso were set
straight so that it was not bard on the
teum, neither did, it turn the sod no a to
were gathered than from that which was
not suboiled. To work the land in that
manner once is all that is nec essary for
a number of years, the ordinary plowing
being sullicient in other years. It might
be a good plan for others to try that
plan. Little is learned except by exper
iments. - Some of the farmers report that, the
winter wheat is not ill the best condition.
It is a question whether wheal put on
the ground broadcast will ilo well or not.
in other parts of the state where winter
w iient could not be raised at nil by sow
ing in that manner it has been found to
do well when put in with a pie's drill.
Winter wheat is still an experiment in
this locality and a fair test will not have
been made until land that has become
thoroughly subdued and properly pre
pared has been put in at the right time
of the year with a drill.
Little can be learned in regnid to
the extension of this line of railroad.
The reports from the outside are that the
surveyors are st work beyond Casper
and that the contracts for the grading
are lot and dirt will begin to move in the
near future. It is said that there is a
good deal of material already piled up
at Casper and some has gone up the
road during the past week. It will not
be long until the woi k will be m such

Final Proof on Timber Claims.
The following communication will be
of interest to parties holding lands under
timber culture entry:
United Status Land Ofi'K-e,
Chadron, Neb., April 10, 1H93.
By act of March 8, 1891, the timber
culture law was repealed, but existing
entries were permitted to be perfected
under certain modifications. The words
"at the time of making such proof there
shall be then growing at least six hun
dred a,il seventy-live living and thrifty
trees to each acre" were left untouched
by the repealing act.
The a::t of March 3, IMS, provides that
final proof can be made without showing
the existince of the quantity of trees be
fore required. For this purpose it must
be shown: That trees, seeds or cuttings
were in good faith planted according to
the requirements of the timber culture
law; that the trees, seeds or cuttings so
planted, and the land upon which they
wore so planted, were in good faith cuU
tiyated for at least eight yews; that the
claimant was qualified to make such en
try, and has a subsisting entry under
said laws; and the facts must show the
claimant's good faith in his proceedings
under the statutes. The local otlicers
are directed to apply the above under the
existing rules and regulations. , -
