RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, FEBRUARY 23, 190G.
NUMBER S
THE RED GLOID CHIEF
Yes,Indeedeighl)OF
Wo can soil you land in tho Western part of Nebraska
or Kansas that is lino for grazing purposes, and can boll it
cheap, too.
But for general farming wo would recommend buying
either her or somo locality whoro ouo would bo equally as
auro, at least, of raising a good crop each year. If ouo has
tho necossury capital to buy a farm horo wo would bo glad
to soil him one, and havo a number listed that are cheap.
But if not, wo havo a choice proposition in tho way of irri
gated lauds iu tho famouo Arkansas Valloy in Southeastern
i Colorado, in tho neighborhood of tho well known Rocky
ford country, that cuu bo sold on oasy torms of 10 por cent
cash at timo of purchaso and tho balanco divided iuto sovon
annual payments at C' por cout interest, Tho land and
water are sold together, tho water being sold as a perpetual
water right.
Tho soil is rich and deop, climato mild, drinking water
soft and pure, market for overythinggood,oxcollont schools
and churches, and a fino now boot sugar factory already
erected, besides another now railroad and sugar factory
will be erected this year. Tho one just iluished cost a mil
lion and a quarter dollars.
Tho first thing to bo considered iu deciding on a loca
tion in an irrigated country is tho water supply. Tho Amity
and Buffalo canals are among tho earliest priorities on tho
Arkansas river. Tho Amity Land Co. has spent millions of
dollars in rebuilding and strengthening these canals aud
placing at all points of danger indestructible concrete
structures, and also iu constructing reservoirs of enormous
size to supplomout ihoir flow of water. This has boon done,
not only as an insurnnco that tho water supply cannot fail,
but in order to make absolutely certain n supply of water
at such timos as the crops may demand. These reservoirs
contain enough water to irrigato all of tho lands under tho
Amity canal with no rainfall and supposing that tho water
supply from tho river failed entirely. Tho priority of a
canal gives it its wator without rospect to its location on
tho river, aud there aro proper stato ollicials who divide tho
wator iu tho river according to the priority rights which
each canal has.
Every man wo havo taken out to view this proposition
thinks it is a good one: talk to them. Remember, wo havo
viewed tho reservoirs oursolvos and find thoro is absolutely
no question but that tho water system is the best in tho
United States and that if you buy any of this land under
tho ditch you will got all tho water needed to mature the
crops. Come in and wo will exglain further.
Our special car from Superior out and return on tho 6th
and 20th of February, leaves there at 8 o'clock promptly.
Tho reduced faro will bo $10 for tho round trip for these
two trips, but after that date will more than likely be
higher. Remember, if you make the trip with us and feel
we have misrepresented the conditions and you are not
satisfied it is as advertised, we will refund your faro.

That Is the Question Aftitatlnft State
Officers at Present.
Tho stuto ofilcors who inado a
"grand stand play" by surrendering
their railroad passes aro just now won
dering whether they will pay their own
faro or walk. All of tho heads of de
partments oxcept Socrolary of Stato
Galusha bowed to tho storm of choap
soutimout worked up by tho Stato
Journal, World-IIorald aud a fow
othor nowspapors. Wo admiro Mr.
Galusha's good souso in holding onto
his pass. Thoso who surrendered
thoir passos at "tho call of tho wild"
virtually admit that tho pass is a
bribo, and that thoy havo boon bribod
by tho railroads. Secretary Galusha
has taken tho opposito viow, and ro
fuses to acknowledge that his pass
is anything more than a courtesy ox
tended by tho railroads aud that his
actions could iu any way bo influenc
ed by his accoptanco of froo tailwoy
transportation.
As tho legislature mado no appro;
priation for travoling expenses of sov
oral of tho stato ofilcors, Secretary
Galusha has annouucod that ho will
not approvo vouchors for tho pur
chaso of mileago books. Doputy
Auditor Cook also stated that ho
would not issuo warrants on tho treas
ury for mileugo books. Thus it ap
pears that in thoso departments whoro
thoro was no appropriation for trav
eling expenses tho principals and
subordinates will havo to trust to tho
liberality of tho next legislature to
reimburse tho them for money paid
out for railway far.
Agaiu wo say wo admiro Mr.
Galusha for "standing pat." Wo havo
confidence in him, and do not boliovo
ho can bo bribod with a pass. Wo
had tho samo confidence in the othor
state officers until thoy virtually ad
mitted their susceptibility to bribory
by returning their passes.
Insane Man Taken To the Asylum.
Tho latter part of last wook an iu
sano man gavo tho people wost of
Bhutan quite a scaro. Ho was found
wandering around in tho fields, and
was captured Saturday and taken to
Bladen, whoro ho was kept Saturday
night. Sunday ho was brought to
Red Cloud, and on Monday ho was
glvon a hearing before tho insanity
board, who found him insane, and
Sheriff Hedge took him to Lincoln
Monday night. Ho gavo tho nanio of
Ed Ferguson, but was uuablo to tell
whoro his paronts lived or anything
about hlmsolf. About tho only thing
ho' could toll about hlmsolf was that
ho was two years old when hwas
born. Ho laborod undor tho holiof
that tho world was bocoming too
thickly populatod aud that it was his
duty to kill ofr a fow of tho surplus
population. Ferguson gavo his ago as
20, though ho was apparontly a little
oldor than that.
The Real Estate Boom.
Porsons who havo occasion to do.
any traveling on tho railroads at this
timo can not holp but notice the largo
number of land buyers who are pour
ing iuto tho central and western part
of this stato. Every train is crowded
with eastern mon who are anxious to
buy laud in this part of tho country
whilo it is yet cheap. Thoso parties
say that land is so high iu Iowa, Mis
souri and eastern Nobraska that it
has gotten boyond thoir roach. One
or two nioro good crop years will
causo au advance in tho prico of real
eatato iu this section that will bo a
revelation to thoso who buy now and
hold on to their purchases. Tho
prices of farm lands iu eastern No
braska and this section aro away out
of proportion, and it is not because
tho former is too high, but because
tho latter is too low Investors and
porsons seeking locatious will miss a
golden opnortunity if thoy do not buy
now.
Jubilee Sln&ers Comlnft.
Unquestionably tho finest organiza
tion of colored smgors travoling is
that known as tho Slayton Jubiloo
Singers, who will appear at tho Rod
Cloud Opera Houso Tuesday evening,
March tl. This is tho third number of
the Business Men's Longuo locturo
course. Thoir roportoiro consists of
old plantation songs and melodies, as
woll as tho up to-dato "coon" songs so
oftou heurd and so popular of lato
years. Tho Slayton Jubilee Singers
havo given ovor four thousand con
certs in cities from tho Atlantic to
tho Pacific. This will undoubtedly bo
tho star numbor of tho locturo courso
and should attract au audieuco which
will pack tho oporn houso.

Alum baking powders are tinhcalthful. Do not use them for
raising food under any circumstances. So detrimental are alum
baking powders considered, that in most foreign countries their
sale is prohibited. In many States in this country the law com
pels alum powders to be branded to show that they contain
this dangerous acid, while in the District of Columbia, Congress
has prohibited the sale of all food that contains alum.
Alum baking powders are sold to consumers at from io
cents a pound to 25 ounces for 25 cents, or 25 cents a pound,
and when not branded may generally be distinguished by their
price.
