V. I toss. Work performed on tlto roads in the spring of the year Ih worth twice as much as work dono in the fall. Our streets neod attention and we trust that the city council will .seo the wisdom of putting thorn in condition this spring Wc ought not to have poorer roads in the city than they liavo in the country. As an Instance of "class legislation," noto the now law which provides that it is now an olTonso against poace and dignity of tho stato of Nebraska to camp on tho public highway within 10 rods of any man's houso without tho 6wncrs permission. And just to think tho men who came here in "covered wagons" literally mado the state. Such a law smacks of the in gratitude displayed by tho young cad who, grown snobbish amid city sur roundings, is ashamed of his father and mother from the country. Camp bell Citizen. The sentiment for tho Maurer springs seems to be crystalizing into something dolinito. This city will never be satisfied until thoso springs arc connected with our wator plant and unless the city takes tho initiative the Burlington will acquire title to the wator. Tho plan that meets with the most approval at present is to pe tition the council to call an election for the purpose of issuing bonds to the amount or ten thousand dollars. Six thousand to be used in gotting the wator, two thousand to bo used for placing mains in the south ward and two thousand in the north ward. The amount in tho north ward to be equal ly divided between tho northeastern and northwestern portions of, the city This plan will be really better than tho one proposed ut tho last election in that it will place our system upon a much butter busis There are many The SAFETY rW P00D THE HOME GROCERY, 7 "N QbJSa 2r5jT.Cifc2l c ' ri ia y '.vviva.Mnaimi .,:: v ...- nf ..- t Jlk fill 1' ' ' P sff - a 7qa I'ifflMCTWPgL .. -?JPK I m?

The city is larger limn it wan when litis plant was Installed and It docs not nearly meet present requirements. lillo wo are on this subject we might cay that before any proposition Is submitted to the voters It would be well furjiuy person not thoroly In fortnod from llrat hand Information to visit tho power plant anil sco tho con ditions an they are. IIo will then know how to act to his best ndvant age. We used to be fairly content when wo wero told that the south well furnished vpraolicHlly all tho wator which was pumped. We now know that was far' from trtio. Wc now know that after the south well has been allowed ,U remain idle for llvo or six hours that it takes but forty minutes to drain It dry. We now know tlintwc have used the creek for years at all seasons of the year and we now know that the records show this to be a fact. Ask any oagi neer who has ever worked hi our plant ami he will tell you that the crock has furnished more water than the well ever did It is time lo yet down to business and if thero are any state merits made as to tho conditionseither past or present let them bo of such a nature that they may be made in u public meeting whoro they can be veiillud or disproved. Now for the spring water in earnest. Location for the Western Nebraska Agricultural College. Now that thero is to bo S 100,000 spent in establishing an agricultural school in southwestern Nebraska, all the towns in that district aio making a scramble for tho institution. It seems to us that a few honest ques tions should be asked, and answered honestly. In tho llrst place, who foots tho bill? Most assuredly, the entire state. What is tho purpose of this school'. Professedly to teach the ris ing generation how to farm. Who gets the benelltV The stato. Now, theie may bo some question as to whether ostablishinganothor school of this character was wise or other wise. It may bo a rich plum for the city that secures the location, but thero can be no honest debate over its location. Wo already have one very ofllciont school located in Lincoln, which accommodates all students in central and eastern Nebraska. It also accommodates students from western Nebraska, but naturally its activities arc mainly directed toward increasing the elllciency of farmers located in a region which resembles Iowa and Illi nois farms. Now, everyone who knows anything about this state of oars is well aware of tho fact that western Nebraska is as dill'oront from eastern Nebraska as if the two regions were not of one po litical division. The soil is different, tho atmosphere is different, tho rain fall is different. Instead of studying how to mako two blades of grass grow where one grow before, tho problem is to make one blado grow where there never was one bofore. With all duo SIGNAL BUYING- P. A.

J. C. MITCHELL, The Jeweler. respect to our present Instructors at the Stato Agricultural college, we are of the opinion that if they were planked down on ti farm in westorn Nebraska and wore told to "exercise their probscis or forever cease to ex 1st," thoy would not be able to raise more than a storm of indignation. No, sir! This school will not bo of any benefit to the taxpayers of this state unless It is located right in the heart of this laud and climate which is so different. To place tills school In Holdredgo, Hastings or Ked Cloud would be a waste of money. It would be but du plicating the school at Lincoln, and what would be saved In car faro would be lost in ofllcicuoy. In our opinion, this school should not bo located farther east than Cam bridge or McCook. Heie conditions arooutirely different than they are "back east." and one must know his business if he makes a living out or the soil. People do make a living there and those who know -the kinks are as wealthy as many of their east ern brothreti. Hut it takes ability to learn tho country and to do things differently from what they do in mud ridden Illinois or Indiana. We do not care a fig which town will ultimately crow because It has been successful in getting this school, but we do care a littlo whether It will prove to be what it is designed to be or whether it serves only to promote political itspitations or pay political debts. Service is demanded, and in order to be of service this school must be where it can help western Ne braska solve the problem of making that section blossom as tho rose. Real Estate Transfers.
