The snow of last week was a poem without tlto as sistenco of any one except those in charge of the weather. It was worth millions to the poople of Sioux " county. The people who conic from the east express surprise that the older settlers u,tterqpt to subdue the wild land with such small horses, Good, heavy teams do much to develop a new country and all are beginning' to realize the fact. Sam Tebbet was in town on Monday and bad a very broad smile on his coun tenanoe. The cause for it was that he considered that the snow of last week in sured him thirty bushels of wheat to the acre and that is good enough for him. George Legs, a nephew of the Smi ley boys, arrived from Illinois last week and has been looking over the country as much as the weather will permit. He says land in Illinois costs $7 a year cash rent and ho cannot stand that and is go ing to soe if he cannot get some land of his own. At the meeting of the village board Tuesday evening W. H. Davis was ap pointed clerk and Q. Guthrie, treasurer. . A liquor license was granted to I. Rich stein find the pumping contract was let (o B, L. Smuek at the same price paid last year, . " '. . We republish in this issue the com munication in regard to making final proof on timber claims, to which is add- . ad a later communication in regard to publication in such cases. By cutting it out and saving it any of the readers of The Journal may have a copy of the latest law about timber claims. The snow last week did a vast amount of good for it camo su quietly and was distributed so evenly that it thoroughly soaked the ground and there. WOT some to spare. The soil was already wet below and now it is ready for the props to get a hustle on themselves, J. 8, Dlllenbeck of Seward county has leased a school section in the south east part of this oounty. It has not. been learned what use he intends to put it to. That is another indication that people are looking up Sioux county land for Mr, Dillenbeok got his information at the stato capital and did not come re at all, The biggest acreage of grain ever pat Into the ground in Sioux county Will be the report for 189fl, and every thing Indicates that thu rgnults will be hf best ever known.

Simmons & Smiley. A train load of sheep were unloaded at Andrews last week. It was not learn ed whether they would be kept there permanently or not If there is any locality where the pros pects for crops are any better than they are in Sioux county we should like to bear where that favored place is. It is reported that it has not yet rained enough to wet the ground in many portions of the east. The people of the drouth threatened districts should come to Sioux county where there is moisture enough and to spare. It will not be long until another special immigrant train will come to Sioux county from Seward for there are many new settlers getting ready to make the move and the number is in creasing almost daily. -n-The esecutive committee of the W. C. T. V. is requested to meet at the M. E. church on Friday, May 5th, at 2 p. m. to arrange a program for the county convention to be held May IS, Local uuious are requested to meet and select delegates to said convention. By order of the president, Mrs. A. It. Dew. District court will convene one week from next Monday, Judge Bartow will-preside. There will be nothing of unusual interest or importance. No criminal cases ofsany account are on I lie j docket, and few civil cases which will j uccupy much tune. Sioux county has been decidedly fortunate in not having bad more criminal cases to try. A large number of sheep died in Wyoming during thu storm last week. Hundreds of thousands had jusl deen sheared and turned out on the range and the storm made short work of them. It is estimated that the loss will be fifty per rent of the flocks which have been sheared. The 'inhuman owners deserve to lose every one they owned and should bo prosecuted beside, for taking away the only protection the sheep had at so eav'y a season. W'oss & Eason have their tent near Turner" store and are prepared to at- tenLto wants wf all who call for work iu ihn r line, 'Their photograhs are filut-cWsjand any wanting pictures should not miss this opportunity.- On account of the stormy weather they will remain a few days longer than they at llrst intended but none should delay too long or they will be gone. The rate at which homestead filings are going in to the kind office from this county is the best proof that Sioux county is getting to the front and will not lie a ne v, thinly settled county much longer. The quicker the trans formation takes place the better it will be for all, and that fact should stimulate all to make a little extra effort to get new people to come here. Tne county can just as well be settled quickly as to drag along for years. Land will become valuable as soon as there are plenty of people here but it will not increaee in price to any great extent until that time arrives. Peter Schaefer has been looking over the country for nearly two weeks and leaves this evening for his home at Sew ard. What he thinks of the country is best told by what he has done. He found a fine quarter subject to contest and began a contest thereon. He later purchased 800 acres of deeded land of J. G. Morris and put a homestead liliug on a piece of government land adjoining, so he will have a farm of nearly a thousand acres. Possession will be given this fall. Mr. Schaefer says he will make it a point to toll his friends what opportuni ties are offered here and if any cannot see him they can write to him and he will gladly answer all questions. There is no doubt that the action of Mr. Schae fer will be the means of bringing many more settlers to Sioux county from Seward. It is a well established fact that no town will be behiud the country tribu tary thereto, and by the way inquiries are coming in of late in regard to busi ness opportunities in Harrison it is safe to say the town will havo new blood coursing through its vens of trade. There is no reason why Harrison should not be one of the best towns in north west Nebraska, and there are many reasons why it should. It lias and will have a large territory from which to draw'trade and with a set of merchants who make the proper effort much busi ness can bo attracted hero which has been going to other places. If a reputa tion is established for Harrison as a mon ey saving trading point, and care taken to keep that reputation It will prove a mine of wealth to the business-men of the place. To do this no "penny wise and pound foolish" system should oe fol lowed by oy ooo. Broad, liberal bust- poliuy and the united effort of all Is j what It PERSONAL. F. A.

C QirvWf Gfh Orgaaiaar, Final Proof on Timber Claims. The following communication will be of interest to parties holding lands under timber culture entry : United Status Land Office, Chadron, Neb., April 19, 1893. By act of March 3, 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 and seventy-five living and thrifty trees to each acre" were left untouched by the repealing act. The act of March 3, 1893, 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 were so planted, were in good faith cul tivated for at least eight years; 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 officers are directed to apply the above under the existing rules and regulations. Respectfully, W, II. MoCann, Register. Later: Under dale of the 21st we received instructions from the Honorable commissioner of the general land office that in final timber-culture proofs under the act of March 3, 1893, no publication will be required where the original entry was niado prior to September 13, 1887.
