TERMS:—#1.00 PER TEAR, ir PAID IN ADVANCE
Entered At the Loup City Postofllce for trails
tnlAslon throufrh the malls as second
class matter.
Mr. Tlieo. Boy ce, the gentleman
who bo ably assisted us during the
campaign of last fall, has been em
ployed to take charge of the me
chanical department of the North
western office and writes that he
expects to he here Monday. Mr.
Boyce is a first class typo, a splen
did job printer and an all round
newspaper man. With his valuable
Hssitance we will be able to pub
lish an even more newsy paper aud
to attend to ail orders with neatness
and dissatch.
It must be gratifying to the peo
ple of Buffalo and especially Sher
man county to read of the promin
ence and esteem thiersenator, Judge
Wall is held by his coiegues in the
senate chamber. He is, and has
been, from the first a power io that
legislative body. The fact that the
World Herald has dubbed him “Wall
Moses” is evidence itself of the
prominent part he is taking. Of
course the World Herald is criticising
some of his acts, but he pays no
attention to its sneering allusions
and is alw.»ys to lie found on duty
when tbe roll calls. The promi
nent part he has taken in the
revenue measure and other matters
of great importance is testimony
of his ability and worth as a state
senator, anti the Northwestern
joins his constituents and the repub
lican party of Shermen county in
their pride for having furnished so
valuable a member.
A NEW 1DKA IN E A KM PAPERS
Farmers are getting over the idea
that farm papers are edited by some
mau sitting up in an office in the
city, trying to tell them how to make
farming pay and that the articles
are writen by theorists and dreamers,
who know nothing of the needs of
practical farming. That may have
been the case some years ago, but
*ith a modern farm magazine like
the Twentieth Century Farmer the
editor is a man who is closely in
touch with all of the questions that
come up regarding how to make
farming pay better. The articles
in this paper are all by practical
men and the fanners who are reading
what they say find that it pays to
keep posted on the progress which
is being made in their own line of
work. No doctor would think of
practicing medicine without talking
several medical journals; neither can
a tanner keep up with progress in
farming unless he takes a magazine
like The Twentieth Century Farmer.
For example, some of the contrib
utors whose articles will appear dur
ing the next few issues are: F. D.
Coburn secretary Kansas State Board
of Agriculture; Frof, C. F. Curtiss,
Iowa Agriculture college; B. O.
Ay lesworth, president Colorado col
lege; Colonel F. M Woods, the noted
live stock auctioneer; Charles E. Bes
sey, tbe great botanist; John Gosling,
the noted beef expert; Frederick W.
Taylor, director of agriculture at St.
Louis World’s fair, and many other
well known meD, whose ideas are
worth dllaros to every progressive
farmer and stock raiser.
If you are interested send 25 cents
for three months’ trial subscription

Lincoln, Neb, Feb. 2 1903.
KlUTi K N't RTH WESTERN!
Now that ibe legislature has a
| whole weeks vacation it Is presumed
that Senator Wall will have time to
locate his Normal School, also to
build the warfs and docks of his
home city, preparitory to the intro
duction of his bill making the Loup
River a navagable stream from the
Platte river to Loup City, and pos
sibly to remove ttie Asylum from
Norfork to the head of navigation.
These schemes are uomore unreason
able than are expected by many con
situauts of tbier representatives.
The Judge has just begun to take a
band in the ways of hgislation, and
upon several occasions has turned
the tide for a good measure or help
ed to choak otl' some vicious bill or
amendment.
At present the entire attention of
the legislative body is centered up
on a revenue bill which the joint
committee ot the two houses are ex
pected to formulate dttriug the re
cess. One ot the principal featurts
will be the creation of a county as
sessor, thus making a more equal
^assessment from the various town
ships in the county. The Omaha
and Lincoln people are also anxious
to have a clause inserted so that the
terminals of the great railroads cen
tering in those cities can he assessed
by the city instead of having the
terminal property prorated as mil
age, thus distributing, more equally
the takes throughout the territorv
which these lines pass through
The teleshone bill over which con
sideruble squabliug is going no, re
ally only affects the larger cities,
into which the independent tele
phone companies are anxious to
gain admission. Of course compe
tition is as good for the people in a
telephone way as in any other busi
ness and should certainly receive the
support of all who are disposed to
give the people the best service at a
much reduced rate.
To give an idea of the determina
tion of the legislature to keep down
appropriations we will only refer to
the incidental appropriation bill,
which carries the expenses of the
legislature proper, outside of the
salary bill. The house passed the
bill for £48,000 00 and the senate
promptly cut off' twenty thousand
dollars.
Bill of Senator Howell to create the
office of county auditor was recom
mended to be indefinitely posponed.
The senate is especially determined
on an economical session, having so
far declined to even vote themselves
stamps or paper with which to keep
their constituents posted as to their
doings. The fusion members seem
very much disappointed that the re
publicans are not running wild on
expenses and are always voting on
every measure of a political or reve
nue character to defeat the best in
terests of the slate.
The World Herald of Sunday de
clares "Wall the Muses,” alluding
to senate tile No. 140, which the
Senator introduced, by request, and
relates to the taxation of railroads
which wid be eared for by the rev
enue committee wnen they report,
The Herald would be very glad to
injure the senator's strength and in
duance early in the session, but as
the Herald readers amoDg the repub
licans is exceedingly limited its
scare crow headlines will fall un
heeded, as there is nothing in tin
bill signifying danger and if there
was tue revenue committee will em
brace in thiei bill, matter covering
the very question, though perhaps in
another form. It does not neces
sarily follow that when a member is
handed a bill and requested to b
troduce il, that he will support the
ineasme.
Nearly one-half of the lime in
which bills can lie introduced hasex
pired and only one hundred and f<>»
ty bibs have been introduced in the
senate and :i0h in the house which
would indicate that the member*
are working on somthing besides the
introduction of bills.
There is no probability that the
game law offish bill will be e.tanged
much except to be a little more lib
erel with fishermen. Only the rev
enue committe and employes of
the legilatnre are remaining to keep
the capitol alive.
