*' The North western can now boast
of the largest circulation she has
had since the boom experienced in
K the '80s. We have been continually
adding to our list all through the
present year and since January over
a hundred names have been added.
About three months ago we add
ed two quires to our weekly ship
ment, a part of whicu we sent out
as samples. Now we again ado
another quire anti but very few of
them can he used as samples.
We congratulate ourselves upon
this marked evidence of an increase
in circulation of which we have far
surpassed our rivals, and this to
when theodd9 have for several years
been against us. For the past Tt
>. years this county has been easting
a majority populist vote of from
! 200 to 050, and as a consequence
the Times has hud ueaily or quite
all the pull at the sheriff and
probate legal work which has, dur
ing the hard times, when people
could not pay off their loans or keep
up their taxes, amounted to from
| - $500 to $1,000 a year. Of course
J these amounts vary according to
the ability of the people to pay and
save their land from foreclosure and
sheriff sale.
For all these many years all this
class of work has been going to pur
contemporary who ha*, in almost
every instance charged all the law
would allow, which is from $k to $15
per notice, according to length, most
of them running about $9.50 and
many of them having to he re pub
lished and published again for want
of bidders, thus doubling and tbiib
ling the publication fee on a single
descriptor
* And yet with all these advantages
given to our contemporary we still
baye a good lead in point of circula
tion which is something that we
* justly feel proud of. It is unmis
takable evidence that we are publish
ing tbe best and most reliable news
paper.

Andrew Garstka, \V. O. Brown and
Peter Thode, supervisors, went Satur
day to view the bridges recently con
structed by bridge contractor, IV. T.
Gibson on the lines between Buf
falo and Sherman and Custer and
Sherman counties. At the Sweetwater
bridge they met a bridge committee
from Butfalo county and together tli*
two committees closely examined the
work and expressed themselves as
being very much pleaesd with Mr. Gib
son’s work. They expected to met a
like committee from Custer county at
the new' bridge on the Custer and Sher
man county line but they did not put
in an appearance. The Sherman coun
B ty supervisors inspected the work
fig,' however and reported it good. In con
F versation with Mr. Garstka we learned
that the county was getting some ex
li cellent bridge work this year and that
|i| Mr. Gibson w as highly commented on
IP lus work
I Michael Neice, of Bristol township,

man county and are much esteemed
by all who know them Mr. Neice's
birthday came on the dafe of the party
and that of Mrs. Neice comes a month
later. The party, however, was given
in honor of both and several beautiful
and useful presents were presented
to them. ToeNouTH wkstekn joins
their host of friends in wishing them

Ed. Xokthwestekn:
Dear Sir —As l have time I though!
I would (hop you h few lines 1 art
' II as usual and do hope this will fim
all my friends the same.
Well, we arrived in this plat* • Sept. 21
and came to anchor in our old birth
Ail of my ship mates are getting foul
days leaf of absence and as 1 have just
got hack 1 will tell von about it. 1
went ashore on Wednesday, Oct. 7
1903 and that afternoon went to a ball
game out on the side grounds which
w»s played between our Ship and U. 15
navy hospital. The game lasted
eigtheen innings and was won by out
term by a score of 2 to 1.
The next day we went up to Tokio,
Japan, which is the capital city. Tokio
is a very nice place hikI is finely situ
ated. We vi-ited all places of any
interest. First we went up to the
"Pauarama” u Bazoo that covers one
whole b’oek In this there is eveiy
thii g imaginable. You can purchase
any kind of silk you w.-.nt iu this place
for a small price. Silk handkerchiefs
in this place that you pay all the way
from one to two dollars for in the states
cost from 17 1 ,c to 25c in gold and are
made from the best silk they cun get
From there we went to the different po
litical and government buildings; lirst
was the navy department which occu
pies a tine two story brick building, all
the n ival authorities are here in this
place. Next came the army department
building which is not as tine us the navy
building. Next was the High Courts,
this buihlning is the finest of the lot. it
is also made of brick and Is three Stories
high. Next was the Low (h urts, it is
’lie same as the navy building. From
(litre we went among t lie residences of
the differ’-nt Councils The United
States C lunell’s residence we did not
see, but the ones we did see were some
thing grand Nice green trees from fif
ty to orm hundred feet high with filir,
smooth, green lawn- below. Some have
buck or stone iencee mid some have
steel picket fences. We next went to
the palace. Yon have to go through a
wall to enter this. Just it side the gate
is the palace sut rounded tiy a stream ot
water. I should judgi to be about 100
feet wide m wine places. The palace
has a stone wall around it. which is for
tified. From hero we passed up Into
the palace gardens which are the llnesi
I was ever in It is green all over, even
the sidewalks and driveways are green.
We passed then to tin Japanese Army
parade grounds On these we saw the
cavalry men drilling. It is certainly a
sight to see them. They have no disci
pline iu their work at all, but run about
on their ponies like a lot of Indian
None have the same uniforms on at all
II we did that in the U. S. army or navy
drill we would be locked up for being
crazy. From hero we went for dinner,
or "chow” as it Is called in Japanese, we
went to a Japanese restaurant and ord.
ered a first class dinner which consisted
of nine different courses, and about the
fourth one I felt like stopping. The
Japanese people do certainly put up
some tine dinner You order a first class
dinner which is one "yen'’ or fifty cents
in gold and consists of from nine
to sixteen courses, and 1 tell you a per
son lias to starve for about a month be
fore he can get away with one of them
From here we went down to theatre
street, and saw everything imaginable
We went in a Japanese theatre and saw
a Japanese play, if you cannot under
stand the lingo you are out of luck, but
being among the Japanese and China
men so much, I am getting to be some
what of a Jap mvself, and so are the
rest. From here we went to the depot
and returned to the city of Yokohama
From the depot in Yokohama-wo took a
Jinrikish.i and went up to the hotel.
This vehicle is something like a cart In
the states. It lias a top the same a« a
buggy, but only one way It differs from
our carts is instead of being drawn by
» horse it is drawn by a Japanese. The
Jlnrikisha men can go on a slow trot
with a person all day and It never fuzes
them, hot thev have to have their whis
key They are great people for that.
Well the next dar. the 9'h, we got
hicvcle« and rode off to the race track
which Is a two mile track nicelv situat
ed. We rode on that for awhile and
went back In around town. Theie was
twenty-ore In the wheel party that dav
We then went on to the hospital to see
our friends. The next, day. Saturday
the 10th of October, we got wheels and
rode out ir.fo the country and in the af
ternoon witnessed a ball game hetwo n
the Yokohama Cricket, ami Athletic
Club and the Tokio University The
Athletic Club were Englishmen and
their opponents were Japanese. It was a
tine game. The Japanese can certainly
olav ball, they won the game. Our team
plays them tomorrow. 'Veil I must
clos" boning you are well and happy a=
I an). From ever your friend.
