And there by bangs a tale of a mighty hunter. It was late in 1903 that Mr. Mathew, accompanied by a legal Starr of lo eal repute, and a gentleman Long on real estate with a brother from the offeie east, took a spin in the coun try after any kind of game that dared to cross their path While in Washington township, a ferocious appearing animal, which to excited, heated or fervid imagination might lie magnified an hundred fold, came majestically forward. According to the gospel of our modern Mathew, his arsenal spoke and the voice that wailed forth the animal’s coming was stilled forever. The trophy of victory was secured and the mighty marksmen returned happy in the possession of a supposed catamount which they exhibited to admiring multitudes. Hut envy was abroad in the land. The report spread that a farmer out in Washington had lost a good, health thomas caticus, and it had disappeared at a time calculated to create suspicion. In vain did the warriors protest. It availed them nothing until a few days since,when there came back from the taxider mist the beautifully mounted hideof the cat, wild eat, if you please, and the hunters have been at last vindi cated Milo Gilbert is building a new log house, 18x24, on his farm near the river in Webster township.

May success be their portion and their troubles few. Among our many new advertisers, don’t forget to read that of John Solnis, the enterprisliing hardware man. Among his specialties is a line of steel ranges that should he seen to be appreciated. Mr. Solms caines a first-class line of hardware and asks for your trade through Til k Northwestern. Give him a trial. County Clerk Gibson received a letter from our townsman, C. Hawk, on Wednesday, with the intelli gence that he had susiained a seri ous loss by fire. Jan. 1 1 he opened a hardware store at Brawley, Calif., and on Jan. 28 a gasolene stove in a nearby restaurant exploded, the tire from which destroyed the restau rant, a bank and Mr. Hawk’s store, before it was gotten under control, our friend losing all liu bad, even his wearing apparel and his private papers. He says he had been unable to procure insurance up to the time of the tire, owing to the fact the companies had not fixed rates for the block he was in, consequently his was a total loss. Created Wealth. Something from nothing—a garden from a desert. Such is the history of the irrigated sections. Take land that sells for fifty cents an acre, put water on it and it sells for—what? There are quarters of land in irrigated sections of Colorado that cannot be pvrchased for 820,000.00 and winch earn a remunera tive interest on ttiat valuation. And yet you can purchase irrigated lands where the soil is perfect beyond belief, where the water supply is penti ful and inexhaustible, where climatic conditions tire healthful and exhilarat ing, where fuel is abundant and cheap, for front 815 an acre up THE REASONS. The North Platte valley, extending from Bridgeport, Neb., to Ouernsv, Wyo., and the Big Horn basin. Wyo.. have been but recently made available for settlement by the extension of the Burlington railroad into these suctions. The irrigating companies must have settlers along their ditches and they offer .substantial inducements in the shape of low priced water rights and lands. HO W LONG WILL TII IS CON TIN U E None may say surely, but it won’t be tor long, and the sooner you invest the cheaper will yon be able to do so. for the advance is just as sure as has been the aduance in the price of similar lands in otner sections.
