A LETTER FROM
R.J.NIGHTINGALE
_
Interesting Article From Bellingham
Washington.
GIVES VIEWS OF BORD QBESTIOR
Bellingham, Wash., Mr. J. W.
Burleigh, Loup City. Nebraska.,
June 2nd, 1914. Dear Sir:—I am
at last seizing the opportunity of
writing you, and I trust you will
not attribute my delay to neglect,
but will fully realize what a mul
tiplicity of engagements has oc
cupied my attention since my ar
rival in Bellingham. We are
only just settled down at the home.
When we came, we found that
the home property had been in
the hands of a tenant for three
years, and while it was anewpro
perty, it had Income a good deal
defaced internally by the careless
habits of the tenant who had a
family of small dhildren. 1 have
had it renovated throughout, and
two coats of paint put on the ex
terior, so that it now looks like a
home such as we have been in the
habit of occupying. Herbert
used good judgement in the pur
chase of the property, both as to
price and as to the property.
The entire coast is suffering
from financial depression, but
this' town is less affected than
others. Both public and private
improvements are moving right
along. The tariff seems to affect
this coast worse than the liquor
fight Lumber is the principal
business of the coast towns, and I
hear the complaint that Canadian
lumlier is being shipped in to the
disadvantage of the home manu
facturers. The farmers are also
suffering by reason of the reduc
tion in the price of eggs and but-1
ter and meat due to tariff changes.
Of course, the consumers of these
articles are getting a benefit from
the reduction. And the laboring
classes in the cities need this re
duction in tne cost of living. So
you see it is a mixed problem.
The cities on this coast have out
grown the progress of agriculture.
Our farmers here are non-pro
gressive for the most part. All
the old settlers seem to be con
tented if they can raise enough to
keep them *n comfort and do not
demand for themselves a very
high standardx>f living. It is
only the newcomers who seem to
have any ambition to forge ahead
among the agricultural class. The
greatest need this state has is for
an energetic and wide awake set
of farmers to develope the coun
try, and produce enough food
stuffs wherewith to feed the large
populations which have crowded
into the citizens along the Sound.
Of course I am not yet very fami
liar. with local conditions, but this
is the way they impress me on the
first glance over the situation.
The good land is quite high, and
I think too high compared with
Nebraka; and the logged off land,
while comparatively cheap, is
really dear compared with prairie
land, as it costs from $75.00 to
150.00 i>er acre to clear it so as to
make good farm land of it. When
the Panama Canal is open for the
World's commerce, we are hoping
to get a large immigration from
Europe of the agricultural classes
who are needed to develop the
country. -We have been havitig
delightful weather here, and I am
experiencing great benefit to my
health. The action of my heart
is wonderfully improved in this
lower altitude. On Sunday last I
climbed to the top of Sehome hill
which lies at the back of our home,
and got a splendid view of the
city and the bay, and also of the
mountains, among which is con
spicuous the snow capped
peak of Mt. Baker. This mount
ain is visible from our east bed
room window. Our home is
pleasantly situated being only
about three blocks distant from
the wobds, and yet close to the
business part of the town. We
are only eight blocks from the
center of the business, and have
two lines of street cars within
two blocks. I walk to the office
twice a day, and prefer to do so,
but can use the cars whenever con
venient to do so. One car line
carries us direct to the court
house.
By the way,l note that you are
calling a new election on court
house lxmds, and I hope you
will be successful this time. Two
classes of voters defeated you the
last time those who are governed j
by unreasoning prejudice and
those who are unduly conserva
tive and fearful about contracting
debt. You will have to get
after both sides and win them
over. It is Jiard to contend
against prejudice, but it must be
done. I would direct principal
attenrion to the large class of
conservative fellows, and show
them that the county cannot af
ford to rest any longer under the
stigma that it is a non-progressive
county and lacking in public
spirit, and that it is a matter of
ordinary business prudence good
sense to make this public improve
ment. The county is now practi
cally out of debt and can easily
afford to borrow the $75000.00,
and the court house is an absolute
necessity. The public records
cannot be properly preserved with
out it, and the public* business
cannot be properly and efficiently
conducted without it. I can as
sure you that Herbert and I enjoy
the advantages we possess here in
connection with the practice of
law business by reason of the
fact that we have a good court
house in which the public busi
ness is conducted. We have also
well equipped law offiees in a
modern building. It is so much
more pleasant to do business when
you have proper business facili
ties. I realize now what we have
all gone though in Loup City by
reason of lack of improvements
both public and private. The
lack of public improvements was
the most serious draw back. I am
sure if the farmers of Sherman
County can be made to realize
what the Loup City people have
felt right along about the court
house thfere would be a pretty un
animous vote in favor of the
bonds. That old court house has
been an eye-sore and a reproach
for 25 years, and it is time it was
removed, and a new and commod
ious building erected in which of
ficers will have the proper con
veniences with which to do busi
ness and a safe place to keep the
records. Every supervisor ought
to take off his coat and work hard
for the proposition, because they
have full knowledge as to the ne
cessity for the improvement, and
would be sinning against the light
if they should oppose. Tell all
the people to come out of the
back woods and bask in the light
of modern civilization. Let them
do in public matters what they
have done in private affairs. They
mortagcd their lands in order to
build bright new homes for their
wives and children and good
barns for their live stock, and it (
was the best investment they ever
made. Let them now provide a ,
proper home for the public rec
ords and for the public servants
whom they employ to do their I
business. One of their public of
ficers has just passed away and it I
brings to my mind the fact many
of the county’s officers have suf- I
fered from greatly impaired ,
health by reason of the unsanit
ary buildings in which they have
been copped up during a quarter
of a century.
Please convey my best regards
to all my friends in Sherman
county. My wife and Herbert
join in very warm regards to
yourself and family. Tell Mrs.
Burleigh that we are just enjoy
ing a very pleasant visit from
Beatrice, her husband and family,
consisting on two little girls and a
bouncing boy, about 7 months old
and weighing 24 lbs. He is a
very fine specimen of the male
persuasion, so big and bonny and
good natured. I am alone in the
office while writing this letter, as
Herbert has gone on a short trip
to Lake Whatcom with his broth
er-in-law.
Wishing success to the new
court house bonds.
Very sincerely yours,
R. J. Nightingale.
