RETROSPECTIVE
On the first day of January,
1904, eleven years and three
months ago today, the retiring
editor of the Northwestern came
to Loup City and purchased this
plant. At that time the office con
sisted of two presses, a lot of
•
ante-dated material, a circulation
of perhaps 200 papers, less than
50 inches of advertising, and dying
of mental decay. Today the plant is
supplied with all new and up-to
date type, added model machinery,
such as job presses, perforator,
stapler, proof press, and labor
saving materials of all kinds in
profusion, with a circulation close
to 1500, and with advertising
averaging the past year between
i
400 and 500 inches weekly, has
arisen from an insignificant be
ginning to a place among the best
of the county seat papers in the
state, during which period the
writer has worked early and late
for the betterment and upbuild
of both city and county and now
retires from the editorial chair,
satisfied with what has been ac
complished, and with his share in
it all. even though with health
somewhat impaired by reason of
physical exhaustion and the
strenuous mental activities of the
psat years of control of the desti
nies and upbuild of the paper. He
has made mistakes. Who hasn’t?
He has made enemies. Who hasn’t?
He has at times fallen from the
high ideals he had set out to
achieve. Who is perfect? With
all, he says “Good-bye” to North
western -readers, with sincere re
gret, but happy in the belief that
the new pilots at the helm of the
craft will guide it onward from
its modest present into renewed
fields and greater activities and
possibilities.
When he came here. Loup City
numl>ered some 600 people. It
now has a population estimated as
exceeding 1500. Its sidewalks
were entirely oi the loose board
variety, necessitating the constant
use of hammer and nails to keep
them from being a menace to pe
destrians. Now the city has miles
of the finest cement walks with
additions each succeeding
year. Then there were but three
brick business buildings and very
few substantial homes. Now the
city has perhaps a score or more of
good brick stores, besides two fine
brick bank structures, $20,000
up-to-date hotel, splendid $20,000
brick opera house, big cement
block creamery, cement block
postoffice, cement block disc sharp
ener manufactory, a number of
cement block store buildings, and
hundreds of modern, up-to-date
residences. The city has a splen
did system of waterworks, with
miles of mains with additions each
year. It has a modern, 24-hour
electric light system recently in
stalled; a home-owned and capital
ized Bell‘telephone system second
to none in efficiency and service; a
flouring mill running night and
day, with extensive shipments of
its products todistances; bigcream
ery, the finest amusement park
in the state, outside the larger
cities; a prosperous and aggres
sive commercial club; well reg
ulated and governed city and
school systems, splendid churches
And the very best people on earth,
with but few exceptions—and a
eourt house.
And now a few last words. The
writer has disposed of the North
western office, subscription books
and good will to Messrs. V. L.
Chipman and F. B. Hartman, both
V from Lincoln, and both first
class printers and newspaper
men of years' experience in all
branches of the business in city
and country as well, and come to
you with highest recommenda
tions from those who know them
best. That they will be accorded
most substantia] welcome, the
writer knows from his past expe
rience, ami has every reason to
believe Messrs.Chipman and Hart
man will be well worthy the sup*
port of the people and give them
much better service and a much
better pajjer than we have been
able to do. And now, as editor
of the Northwestern, and as one
who has tried to serve you well in
that capacity, we say good-bye.
We lay down the duties with a
sigh of regret, yet with a feeling
of relief over shifting the respon
sibilities to the sturdy shoulders of
younger, more active, ambitious
and undoubtedly abler men. We
have only the kindliest feelings
and best wishes for all, friend and
roe. If at times we have been
bitter, eruel or vindictive, we re
gret it, as a failing of humanity.
We have no enemies to punish
nor greivanees to remember, but
only memories of kindnesses to
cherish. Good luck, good for
tune and success to you all, and
good-bye. .1. W. Burleigh.
We come to Loup City with the
handicap of being total strangers.
We hope this disadvantage will
be speedily overcome. We real
ize that keeping the publication
up to the standard established by
Mr. Burleigh will be no light un
dertaking, but we will at all times
strive for the best interests of
Loup City and Sherman county.
We want all patrons of The North
western to call on us and get ac
quainted. The policy of the pa
per will remain practically un
changed. Improvements in the
plant will be made as speedily as
business conditions will warrant.
We will appreciate the patronage
of all and will try to justify a con
tinuation and increase of the same
by meritorious work and fair
treatment. Thanking you in ad
vance for your patronage, we are.
Yours for service,
Chipmax & Hartman,

where various kinds of soup, c ores
and fruits are sold in portions costing
one cent. And yet these people s em
very happy. Hands of musicians are
always playing in the streets; the
guitar and the mandolin are to be
heard everywhere—on the boats, in
the hotels—and the stranger is lulled
to sleep by a soft serenade thider his
balcony.
The story teller thrives in Naples,
es there are so many idlers there. He
collects a little crowd around him and
proceeds in the most dramatic way,
gesti lating wildly and working his
face into the most excruciating ex
pressiotis, to relate stories of ad
venture or other events, much to the
edifice-ion of his hearers, who, to
show their appreciation, are often be

How Fast Wind Travels.
Most people at some time oy other
have used the expression "went like
the wind.” wishing to convey the idea
of extraordinary velocity.
Coming down to actual figures, how
ever, the wind is not such a speedy
traveler after all, says tue Boston
Transcript. The month of March
more than any othej in the year has
a windy record, so the figures supplied
by the local weather bureau station
for the month will do to illustrate the
fallacy of the expression.
From the first to the thirty-first the
wind movement as registered at the
top of the fijderiTI building was 8,336
miles, or an average of 278 miles a
day for 30 days. Here is an overage
of only lli/, miles an hour, a speed
which even a slow moving freight
steamer approaches.

are so sadly needed in ordinary play.

The lesson which life repeats and
