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.
